Stakeholder Unable to See Advan.

Down in Florida a few years ago
at n OF the famous summer resorts
was a small street railroads. little
affair that did not amount to much,
but was supposed by its proprietors
to be sufficient for all ordinary pur-
poses. One day in the course of a
discussion the owners were accused
Of being old fogies ana behind the
times. why don't you get together
and be up to date?" they were asked.
You really ought to have a modern
equipment for q place Of this char
acter, instead of an old road Of
mule-drawn cars that date back to
the food"
After considerable deep meditation
and with many misgivings the road
was ordered changed to an electric
line, and an eighty-horse power equip
ment was ordered. The outfit arrived
and was installed but for some rea-
son failed to operate properly. An
outside expert was then called in to
examine the plant and locate the
trouble. At a special directors meet.
ing he reported that the rated efficien-
cy of the plant was eighty horse
power, and that eighty horsepower
were being used for the actual opera
ton Of the road. At this one Of the
directors jumped up and exclaimed
excitedly: Eighty horsepower for
what we used to do with six mules?
l guess we had better 60 back to the
mules"

The Wealth Of the Bonanza Kings.

~ VSaiH W hHS bvNaNxd niu9S'
Generally speaking, the wealth of
The Four Bonanza Kings" has been
much exaggerated. Basing their be
lief en- such movements in the stock
market as that of 1874, and the $40
dividends they nee received monthly,
men have asserted that one or the 9TH
er OF the four was worth $3.50, 000, 900.
But unless Mackay accumulated great
wealth after he left the Comstock
mine and the San Francisco stock mar
ket, and after his disastrous deal In
wheat, not one of them was ever in
possession of SIS, 900, 900. But they
came up to some such figure as that
from nothing, and kept to the end a
large part OF what they made.
And with 1t all, neither California
Nevada can point to one great in
stitution Of art or education or charity
and say: THAT is an enduring monu-
ment to the Big -Four. e. II. Hamil-
ton, in the Era.

for that important post, thus combin-

the post proved exceedingly trying, not
only from the standpoint Of physical
work-as may be imagined when the
