EXPERIENCE OF TOURISTS
down IN THE SALT MINE
AN INTERESTING PLACE NEAR BERCH.
TESGADEN IN BAVARIA.
Tourists Who Take The Trip Find 1t an
Occasion When Ones Dignity Must be
Set Aside to Enjoy the Novelty.
An Occasion When Ones Dignity

An occasion When Ones Dignity
Must Be Set Aside.
II is only the elect among travellers
who find their way to Berchtesgaden.
10 Bavaria, not very far from SaIz-
Durg, writes a correspondent of the
London Tatler. If you drive in a car
rage from thence by road, you are
stopped midway at a customs house
ana md yourself leaving Austrian ter
ritory for Bavarian. Berchtesgaden is
beautifully situated, and it has two
noteworthy attractions, one of them
the hOnigsee, thought by many the
most beautiful lake in the world. and
the other the salt mines. A visit to the
salt mines gives one an exciting hour.
Many tourists take tickets at the top.
Dut many of the fair sex are deferred
from using them when they see the
costume that is rendered essential TO
the visit. In other words, they have to
abandon skirts and adopt a special
rig out" One may frequently observe
that ladies, torn between what they
consider mOdesty and curiosity, go two
or three times to the mines before they
screw up their courage sufficiently to
don the attire and pay the visit.
The necessity for women to abandon
the usual garment arises from the fact
that portion of the mine can only be
visited through the medium of a kind
OF slide. This slide is, however, the
best thing in the whole visit. 1t is a
great deal better than tobogganing.
and, as one is in the dark and with
only candle fastened to ones dress.
II is not little exciting.
The strangest incident in the trip is
that of the illumination of what is
called "the salt lake." You are rowed
across this lake in almost absolute
darkness, the illumination being pro-
Vided by number Of miners lamps
round the lake, and the journey has a
very considerable weirdness. The next
best experience in the trip is the final
ride into daylight on the trucks. This
is journey through absolute darkness
for very considerable way until final
~ one sees a little CLEAN of light in
the distance. Altogether, as 1 have
said, between the toboggan slide, the
car ride and the boat journey across
the salt lake the visitor to the Berch-
tesgaden salt mine has plenty for his
money. But, curiously enough, he sees
very little salt. At any rate, the pre-
pared salt that one uses on ones break
fast table is not at all in evidence.

Gov. .Kimball TO become president OF the
New England company.

Because the other organization had
not been formed" Gov. Kimball replied
Magistrate Flammer-Was anything

years. at 10 per cent. yearly

Magistrate Flammer-Did he tell you

Gov. Kimball-Yes. have letter from

Mr.. Battle-But that was only a per-

Gov Kimball-Yes, a personal guaran-

Magistrate Flammer-Have you been to
the Export association to see about your
money?
Gov Kimball--No but I've asked Mr..
Power for an accounting, for a stock list.
TO see who had subscribed. but he only
told me he had sold $500 worth or stock.
The governor was asked when the davi-
dends were TO be paid. and he said he did
not know. Later he looked at letter and
said payment was due annually.
Then your grievance" said the court,
is two-fold: you cannot get an account
ing. and you are Informed that the Ex-
port association has not the assets claim
ed by Mr.. Power. Is that not so?'
The governor nodded. and Mr.. Battle
at once moved for n dismissal OF the
case. Magistrate Flammer. however had
a few more questions TO ask the governor

Did Power ever show you his bank
book; that Is, the pass book or the COM
pany?" he asked.

smile. "he said he was afraid Ia attach

When Mr.. Battle questioned Gov Kim
ball. IL was brought out that no dividends
are due from the New England company
until April !, 1908. and Mr. Battles sub
sequent comment was that the case was
the most trivial matter ever brought in
TO court"
Hugh J. Mccormick, a bookkeeper who
had been discharged from the Export as
sociations employ by Power. was next
called. He said that all he knew of the
assets az the company were the figures
OF May /. 1901. when the entries showed
13S foreign agencies, valued at $500
apiece; 1900 commercial reports, and
s4s2.01 In cash.
Magistrate Flammer thought a moment
and then he said TO Mr.. Hunt

Gov. Kimball retVned 10 this city on

He was shown the above dispatch by

given were substantially correct He said
that ne did not understand from a con-
versation he had had with his attorneys
that the complainants would be allowed
time to gather further evidence II they so
wished, and that then the matter would
be reconsidered by Magistrate Flammsr.
