THE ISLE OF MAN,
Facts About the Little Country Where
Hall Caine Lives


From the New York Commercial Advertiser
The news that Mr.. Hall Caine has been
elected a"key" by an overwhelming ma
jority brings to mind the curious anomaly
existing in the Isle of Man. This little
island, which measures only thirty-three
miles by twelve, is a remarkable survival
of feudal days in the very center of the
British Isles. Situated in the middle of
the Irish channel, nearly equi-distant from
England, Ireland and Scotland, the Isle of
Man has a separate existence and is itself
a little kingdom whose ruler is the ruler of
Great Britain. When the ordinary Eng
lishman is asked what this isle is famous
for he will invariably answer its cats,
which have no tails. AS a matte Of tact,
there is an indigenous breed of cats with
out tails, and this unfortunate circum-
stance has caused the little island to be re-
garded in humorous light which its his
tory and its traditions ill deserve.
The isle in the first period of history was
the stronghold of the Druids, and when the
Britons were driven into the west of Eng
land 1t formed part of the Welsh kingdom
Early in the tenth century ii was seized by
the Vikings, and in 1856 passed by sale
from Norway to Scotland for the sum of
1900 marks In 1883 it was ceized by the
English, and Earl Salisbury was granted
complete royal rights over his tiny domain
Soon after it was sold to Sir William le
Scrope, whose deed of purchase states that
he bought of William Montacute, Earl of
Salisbury, the Isle of Man. with the title Of
king and the right of being crowned with
a crown of gold This owner like many
mobiles of his time soon after came TO the
scaffold, and then the island passed sue
cessively to the Earl of Northumberland
and Sir John de Stanley, the latter of whom
passed it down to long line of descend
ants. For exactly 300 years the history of
the StanleyS was bound up with the Isle of
Man, till it passed to the Duke of Athol
In 1165 the British parliament obtained
proprietary rights, and in 1925 obtained
complete possession for the sum of f41G 900,
large sum when we consider the small
territory purchased.
The government of the island was, up till
1866, more or less of an oligarchy. There

been the operator of the Grand Central
in the early days of Tombstone, he was
fully aware of the enormous possibilities
of the future if some amicable arrangement
could be made for pumping the water from
the mines of the entire district. Through
the efforts of Mr.. Grow and Mr.. Gage
eighty-fve of the principal claims in and
about Tombstone have been bonded to a
company, represented by Mr.. Gage. The
total amount of this bond is nearly a mil
lion and a half and the terms provide that
within a certain time. The object of TAX
ing bond and not buying the mines out
right is to allow time for the sinking of
a great water shaft in place most favor
able for the drainage of Tombstone.
This work is now in progress, and a
twenty-seven-foot shaft is now being sunk.
1t is down about 500 feet. Mr.. Gage ex-
poets to strike water level within another
100 feet and by February i to have a mil
lion dollar pumping plan in operation which
will be sufficiently powerful to reduce the
water level in all of the mines which it
may be desired to work
Large SmeIter Will Be Used.
| 1t is believed that the character of the
| ore will change below water level, and in
stead of using the 155 stamps which were
| in the various mills constructed years ago.
| a large smelter will be used to reduce the
| ore and extract the gold and silver there
| from.
