RETURNS FROM ALASKA HOME
Mrs. Mullen says FIFTY Below Zero
- Really Not UncOm-
Portable.

Mrs. p. NJ. Mullen, whose Omaha home Is
at 1914 Grace street, returned there for a
visit Friday, from her present home in
Alaska, bearing with her a trunkful OF
trophies and curios Of the and Of the Arctic
circle. Mrs. Mullen accompanied her hus-
band to Alaska a year ago last July, where
he vent as register OF the land ONCE at
Rampant. Last June Mr.. Mullen was trans
ferred to the ONCE of receiver at Juneau,
where he is now stationed.
Mrs. Mullen, who was placed in the light
Of a returned heroine by the many friends
who crowded her home at 1914 Grace street
Sunday afternoon, expressed herself as hav-
ing been very agreeably surprised with
Alaska
81 don't know what I expected to fnd,"
she remarked, but l confess that it wasn't
my idea that there would be much Of civili-
Eation or refinement or culture and l had
been taught to believe that so to so below
zero was unbearably cold. l went there
repaired to be a martyr and a frontier
woman and ready to rough It. and come
home thinking it's the finest country in
the world.
The climate at Rampant. which is a city
In the interior. is far superior to Juneau,
on the coast, where we are now. There is
no wind at Rampant, and 40 to 80 below
zero is really not at all uncomfortable.
AT that place, Of course, we could not get
all the comforts we have on the coast, and
for two months each fall while the river is
freezing and two months In the spring
while the stream Is breaking up. we had
to do without mail. But the miners are
well educated, refined people and the So
ciety Is very agreeable. The prices in the
interior are extremely high. A dozen eggs.

between living at Juneau and in this coun-
try is the climate, and l believe I prefer
that OF Juneau"
Mrs. Mullen brought with her a collection
Of gold nuggets. also a large collection of
Alaskan Indian work, which far surpasses
any basket or beadwork of the Indians Of
this country.

ANOTHER BOY ESCAPES DEATH
Climbs a Pole to Touch Electric Light
Wire and Lives to Tell
of II.

Earl Johnston, the 14-year-old son Of ].
W. Johnston OF 1922 South Sixteenth street,
was knocked insensible last night about s
o'clock by touching the wire Of the center
arc light on the west side of the Sixteenth
street viaduct Onicer Reynolds found him
lying on the footway and took fl TO
Beght's drug store. where he regained con-
sciousness. His left arm WAS deeply burned
where It had touched the iron pole and
the fingers Of his right we're also burned.
Johnston said that he had climbed on the
iron railing Of the viaduct and reached up
to the wire. He happened to fall backward,
and not out to the ground twenty-five feet
below. Last July Fred Brizzi Of Twentieth
and Oak streets had a similar adventure
with this same light wire, with similar re-
suits. Lineman Innis, who was last night
sent to examine the wire, az he was on the
former occasion, said that no change would
be necessary. as the wire could only be
reached with dimculty. The wire has a
capacity Of 5000 volts.

At the CreiEhton-orpheum

Madcaps, four OF them, all petite, trim,
pretty and graceful, with laughing eyes.
and each saucy head OF wavy hair with an
appropriate bow OF blue baby ribbon on
either side, are at the Orpheum this week
will an evident purpose not only Of en-
tertaining the fashionable and questionable
clientele of that playhouse, but of giving
the local ~"Johnnies" an impulse to move
to the front seats in great numbers Their
act is Of the terpsichorean, but so far above
anything of that order heretofore seen on
the vaudeville stage that 1t can rightfully
be called unique-and that is the limit Of
complimentary remark when one must refer
to a dancing stunt. The next best thin. on
the Orpheum's current bill is the musical
turn Of Smith. Doty and Coe, who fail not
to win an encore on nearly every number
special mention for the sweet, full tones
he succeeds in blowing out Of a slide from
bone and all show their mastery OF other
brass Instruments. Lew Hawkins stands In
the center OF the stage and keeps the audi
ence laughing for fifteen minutes with
songs and jokes, some new and some
tinged with gray. Brannan and Martini do
the legerdemain with comical exposures,
Athalie Clair sings a couple OF pleasing
numbers In good voice, Goggin and Davis
put up a clever acrobatic act, and Carrie
Graham does the isis Hopkins'' business
with success. The bill is a good one all
the way down to the new pictures thrown

Rudolph and Adolpht' are not likely to
be the subject of either denunciatory or
remonstrative resolutions on account OF any
outrage they may put upon sensitive feel
ings. They are simply a pair Of laugh
makers, and as they have adopted the
name OF Dinkelspiel, so likewise have they
taken up the exaggerated German dialect
Of that creation Of a New York journal.
It may be that their wit and somewhat
shopworn jests are more palatable and
more easily assimilated when disguised
in this vehicle. At any rate. II expressed
in plain English their jokes would hardly

turous delivery in an envelope Of mispro-
nounced and disjointed words whose won-
derful twisting and turning are beyond the
most hopeless of Teuton tongues. In
his regard the Messrs. Mason are really
clever, and they carry on their impersona-
tions. the one OF a horse doctor and the
other of a ladies' tailor, Of the same name
but not related nor even acquainted, with
a seriousness that almost leads one to
think that they are not trying to encourage
mirth. Incidentally, they sing well, their

part of the show, and some new songs and
a number that are not new are sung well
by the s~oloists, who are supported by a
chorus which is comedy and %tuneful, IL not
numerous. Two large audiences were en-
tartained at the Boyd by this company
yesterday. The engagement closes with

The Oregon Short Line.

Diego Sun left for Utah yesterday after noon. Both gentlemen were greatly i'm pressed with the future of San Diego as it appeared to them and Mir. Fennemore said he was convinced that San Diego would have direct eastern railroad within two or three years at most
 Speaking of the Oregon Short Line, which both gentlemen believe is headed for San Diego instead of Los Angeles alone, MT Fennemore said "The Oregon Short Line at Milford is TO miles from De La Mar. Lincoln county, New, which during the past five years has yielded more gold than any other mine in the country.
 This mine was purchased by Capt. De La Mar, who had previously made and lost several fortunes in Wyoming. Idaho and Alaska, for $65000. He financed the prop ostion and put in $500,000 in development work before he took dollar out Sam Godbe was the chap who owned the bond on the mine and when he got $65,0O0 for it he thought he was doing pretty we'll He knew, and everybody else did, that the ore could only be worked by cyanide, but no body ever guessed how fabuously rich that property was l guess Capt. De La Mar ulQH L even uIedul Ol IL lllISSll ldih dpou' your bonanza Comstock lode! I tell you there is a bonanza worth talking about; although it isn't so rich as it was two or three years ago.
 You know the State of Nevada taxes all the ore taken out of the State so De La Mar had to smuggle his bullion out so to speak, and consequently no one but his intimate associates know just how much he has taken out but have it on very re- liable authority that the sum was not less than $10,0000 900 in five years What do you think of that? And the property is still yielding big returns, although the bonanza feature is on the wane. But anyhow, it maintained camp of 1000 people for sev eral years right there in the desert They first reduced the ore by the dry cyanide process, but that was found to be danger ous to life and health, so the wet process was introduced with great success.
 De La Mar had great trouble to get his bullion safely out of the country, but he finally had a great Corlss safe made weighing three tons, and round like ball so that it couldn't be dynamited, and when once locked up at the mine could only be opened by a secret process known to his New York bankers. Then the bullion was loaded into this safe and ten mules were started with it for the railroad at Milford, | TO miles away Relays were provided | along the route and in that way the ore | was safely transported to the railroad, where it was taken in charge by the eX- press company and shipped to New York. suppose those express cars were dyna- mited by robbers sometimes but if so the sight of that round three-ton safe must have made them feel sick.
 De La Mar is still working his great property, and I expect there are others as rich in the great state of Nevada It is wonderful country and if it could be irr gated would undoubtedly provide homes for hundreds of thousands of people. As it is, the vast millions of wealth which have been taken from her soil have left her nothing but holes in the ground"
