One of the most extraordinary
mementoes of gambling mania is to be
seen to this day-at Houghton hall, the
residence of the marquis Of Chol-
mondeley. Thisis blank space where
the central flight Of steps leading TO
the entrance hall should be. The hall
at one time belonged to Robert Wal
pole, earl of Oxford. Lord Oxford was
a tremendous gambler. One Of his
feafs was TO gamble away that partic-
ular fight Of steps. The winner car
ried them on and they have never been
replaced. Tie effect OF the blank

To-day the freight car that has not a
capacity of at least 10000 pounds is
considered rather out of date, and cars
for handling heavy freights, such as
ore and coal, are constructed with ca
pacity of 100000 pounds. The size of
the locomotives and the weight of the
rail in the track has been correspond
ingly increased. When the large capac-
ity cars began to come into use, a
switchman on the Union Pacific road
chanced to see one of the old and small
Union Pacific cars between two of the
large and modern type, and he wrote on
the side of the car with chalk: "Oh, lit

ploye, seeing one of the modern coal
cars, with its unusually high sides,
wrote on it: "Shopl No roof."-Na-

A surprising growth in the game
of golf in America is shown by Har-

courses existing last season, against
less than 900 the preceding year,
and the aggregate Investment of
money must be very large. New
York state is first in the list with
l64 courses, but Massachusetts,, the
second, shows a much greater concen-
tration of golfng culture with 1853.

BOWIE AND VICINITY
Gold Hill Company's Property Near
 Railroad Pass.

The Gold Hill Mining and Milling company. whose properties are located near Railroad Pass has been doing con siderable development work of late with good results and has q nice body of ore in the workings, says the Range News. They have also secured a bond and lease on some copper claims situ- ated in the Chiricahua mining district, eighteen miles south of San Simon and only twelve miles from the new rail- road line now under construction by the Fl Paso Southeastern railroad.
 These claims take in a sharp butte which has every indication Of being Q veritable mountain of copper. Devel- opment work shows it to be a mGgni ficent property. the ledge being of lib- eral dimensions and runs high in gold. silver. copper and lead. A tunnel is being pushed with all possible speed into the mountain to cut the ledge be- low the surface at a distance of about 200 feet. Ore has been encountered in the tunnel and the body is gradually expanding.
 They expect to strike the main body by running about ninety feet further when a veritable bonanza is expected to be struck. The ledge is exposed for over coo feet on the surface and aver ages from two to eight feet in thick ness. The management of this com pany must be congratulated upon se- curing such valuable properties and the stockholders unquestionabiy will find their investment profitable.
 The writer visited Mir. Todhunter and Mir. Larsen at the Buckeye mining camp seven miles south of Bowie and found activity in every corner, the hill seemed to be alive with men at work drilling and moving rock. some were at work in tunnels. others were at work on a grade for a ground tramway from the mine to the mill site. While there were others at work grading for the fifty ton concentrator now on the road and at work sinking the well deeper to get a sufficient supply of water for the mill. X trip around to their different tunnels and shafts is enough to convince any one that they have q large mine and ore enough to run their fifty ton concentrator for sev cral years.
