drew the plans for the four cars which
are all that are at present running in

put into service they have been at all
times profitable and popular, so much
so that there is loud demand that all

the same way. Mr.. Iwasaki has slight

tains, for instance, little diningroom,

The First American Duel.

In the year 1880 occurred the first
duel known to have taken place on
American soil The principals, Edward
Doty and Edward Leister, were SER
wants of a Mr.. Hopkins, one of the New
England colonists. The men had quar-
relied over some tritling matter and re-
sorted to the field for its settlement.
The affair was stopped by the authori-
ties, but not before one had been
wounded in the thigh and the other in
the hand. There was no law covering
such matters, but the Governor Of the
province decided that the men should
be punished nevertheless. At his orders
they were sent to have their heads and
feet tied together, and lie in that condi-
tlon twenty-four hours, without food or
drink. They suffered so much, how
ever, that they were released at the end
of an hour.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Millions Being Sunk in Search for the
Cripple Creek Mother Lode.
W. S. Stratton, who attained to
fame as the owner of the celebrated In
dependence mine at Cripple Creek,
which he discovered and developed,
from which he took millions, and which
he finally sold for $l1,00o000 in cash,
is now at work on project at Cripple
Greek which, If successful, will make
him the richest man in the world.
He Is hunting for the mother lode.
from which all the millions OF gold
that have been taken out of the Grip
pie Greek district have come. If he
finds 1t. the word millions will be in
adequate to describe his wealth, and
nothing less than billions, and possi-
bly, even greater term. will do to de-
scribe his treasure.
Mr.. Stratton's theory Is that all the
veins of gold that underlie Cripple
Greek. and which constitute the great
mines from which over 100 millions in
gold have been taken in few years,
converge toward one point. This the
ory Is borne out by the maps of the
district, which show a general dip or
trend of the veins of gold toward a
common center. Mr.. Stratton has To-
Gated the spot where these veins
should meet, and has bought all the
land over and about it, 600 acres in all.
Now he has big force of men at work
sinking shafts. and is spend from $780,
900 to $4,000 a month on this work.
