sAM5ERcER's MINES.
New Mill is a Revelation to Metal
Iurgical Engineers.

l.. e. Bamberger, representing the
Bamberger Exploration company, re-
turned yesterday morning from an ex-
tended trip to DeLamar and among the
various properties now being develop
ed in the vicinity of Phoebe In all di-
rections, Mr.. Bamberger says, work is
suits and the season is counted on to
make a fine showing. At DeLamar,
which he left just as Messrs. ]. e. and
Ernest Bamberger put in an appear
ance, the mammoth new milling plant
of the Bamberger Gold Mines COM
pany is behaving splendidly.
"Of course" said he, mining adjust
ments are constantly going on yet,
but it is doubtful if there is another
mill in the country as perfectly equip
ped for accurate and economical work
as is the DeLamar plant. To the metal
lurgical engineer it is a revelation and
while it is only just getting down to
regulation work, the results being at
tanned will soon be speaking for them
selves. The plant is as near automatic
in it's operation as it is possible to
make it and everything is now so nice
ly adjusted that the force required to
handle it has been been reduced to a
minimum"
The mines are constantly having
their monster ore reserves added to
and the wonder to the management is
that so little was learned concerning
their possibilities by their former own
ers-Salt Lake Herald.

Some Historic Erasures.
Captain, later General, Melgs was
very proud OF this engineering feat,
and always jealously regarded the
work as being entirely his own. The
bridge bear witness to his wrath when,
on returning from Tortugas, he dis
covered that Capt. Henry W. Bepham
and Lieut.. j. ST. c. Morton, who had
charge of the work during his absence.
had caused their names to be inscribed
on the bridge as chief engineers of con-
struction. In addition to removing
these names Capt, Meigs was success
full In having Capt. Benham ordered TO
duty at Tortugas.
Ii had been Capt. Melgs intention,
however, to have inscribed beneath his
own the name of Mr.. Rives, and the
letters had already been traced In red
chalk or paint when he received the
news of Mr.. Rives' resignation and en-
listment In the Confederate army. mo
rebels name shall appear on NY
bridge" said Capt. Melgs. The stone
cutters orders were countermanded,
the red letters disappeared. and In
their place were cut the words, "Esto
Perpetua," which Capt. Melgs intend
ed should express the hope that the
bridge would outlast the memory of
the youth who had deserted it,
Mr.. Riyes, now nearly 20 years of
age, resides at Castle HILL" his fine
old estate, near Charlottesville, Va. He

the Panama Railroad and Is still prom.
inently connected with the Richmond
and Danyille Railroad. He has three
beautiful daughters, one OF whom is
known Ia literary circles as Amelie
Rives and in society as the Princess
Troubetzkoi.
Another and still more widely known
erasure was attributed, until recent
years. to Gen. Meigs. This was the
obhteration, In June, 1862. of the name
Of Jefferson Davis from the largest
ia ablet of the bridge. The tablet was

ABBEY's GLASS OF MILK.
An Amusing story OF the Famous
Agtist's BoyhOod Days.

In the days when Edwin A. Abbey,
the distinguished illustrator and paint
er, was small boy hS had the habit
Of critically scrutlnizing every dish |
was set before him at the table, much
to the embarrassment of his family.
His frequent dismissals from the table
were but ineffective reproofs, and
something had to be done to work
cure.
Eddie" said his mother one day, Il
heard thee speak about going to Cousin
Martha's for dinner next sunday, and
| am afraid we will have to make thee
stay at home until thee learns polite
ness at the table. Thy picking at food
would mortify me-"
This threatened deprivation reduced
the boy to tears, and after he had sol
emnly promised not to look at every
thing according to his habit he was
told that he might go.
The day came, and a large and mer-
ry family gathered to do justice to
tempting meal Each Of the little folks
had glass Of delicious rich country
milk at his place.
Noticing that Edwin was surreptl-
tiously glancing at his glass, Mrs Alb
bey observed, with a well understood
meaning, Edwin, why art thou not
drinking thy milkT
With determined air the boy hasti-
ly picked up the glass and, shutting his
eyes as tight as possible, gulped Its
contents down.
This sudden procedure attracted the
attention of all the guests, and, fearing
at least severe scolding, the boy ex-
claimed, ~ did 1t, mother; IL swal-
lowed it."
Swallowed whatY hurriedly asked
Mrs Abbey, now more alarmed than
amused.
