 ~9- Some Remarkable Stories Brought to Light in Europe.

New York, May 20-Whiie the news papers of Paris have published exhaus- tive details of the extraordinary mysti- fication of the Humbert case, by which a woman secured loans and advances of about SIP, GOO. with practically no se- curity. veryl little attention has been given to the fact that large sum was secured in London, says a Herald dis patch from London.
 One loan of s2Oo,O0O is said to have been obtained from financial institutions and individuals in this city. The woman in the case also is said to have raised s40O000 on portion of her jewels. and a well known firm of pawn brokers ad- vanced $125.0O0 on other jewels. She se- cured. besides, 1t is alleged. large sum from group of underwriters here, who were so convinced that her story was true that they advanced money to pay a number of debts. receiving notes bearing a high rate of interest in return.
 She told the now familiar story of mys- tsrious millions, and wished to borrow the money on three months notes. to date from September 1.
 She said the decision as to the estate. bv which she was certain 10 receive a. large fortune no matter which way it went. would be given in October or No vember.
 The financiefs to whom the solicitors went to raise the loans were dazzled by the prospect of earning 20 per cent. for three months. They sent an English so- licitor to Paris to investigate; He was entertained at mansion m tHe avenue de la Grande Armes. He saw master pieces hanging on the walls and was shown the mysterious safe. He even saw the safe opened and packages of French rentes carefully tied up and marked with what was said to be the stamp of the official examiner"
 He was taken into the best circles of Paris society, and on his return to Ion- don reported that the loan was sood risk.
 The notes fell due on December 1. They were not paid and the Woman's solicitors gave as the cause that the litigation was still proceeding and asked that the notes be extended three months.
 A feeling of distrust entered the minds of the lenders and the lnte"est was promptly paid. Cnder proInisa of 70 per cent. more for the next three months and also bonus of $4OO,00O, twice the to- tai amountIof the loan, when the estate was settled, the notes were renewed. When they 6nally became due on March 1. and paymnt was not :ortheomins;; and were instrumental Tn pricking the bubble.

A party Of Oregon men have asso-
ciated themselves together for the pur-
pose of building steamer suitable for
the navigation of the Colorado river.
Six thousand dollars worth of machin-
cry has been purchased in Chicago and
as soon al completed will be shipped
to Needles where the steamer will be
built. The tim bers, structural iron
and everything that enters into the
construction of the the hull of the boat
will be obtained in Los Angeles and
San Francisco. Several barges will al
80 be constructed. One of these will
be con structed purposely for the
transportation OF oil to up and down
river points. 1t is believed that when
this steamer goes into commission oil
can be laid dowD at Pyramid and
Quartette at very low figure. Cheap
fuel oil is essential to the success of
many OF the mining ventures along the
Colorado river and we are more than
pleased with the prospect of a realiza-
tion of our dreams in this respect.
