H1GH-sALARIED PRESIDENTS.

Several days ago the Commercial mentioned the fact that A. J. Cassatt, president of the Pennsylvania railroad draws the largest salary of any rail- road official in the United States. He is credited with receiving $75,e00 a year. A number of other railroad presidents were mentioned who receive $50, 900 a year.
 In the matter of salaries the indus trials appear to be more liberal than the railroads. s. c. T. Dodd, the gen eral solicitor of the Standard oil com pany, probably receives as large a sal ary as any other person in this coun- try. Including commissions he is un- derstood to receive $250000 a year. It is not known what the salary of John D. Rockefeller, the president of the Standard Oil company, amounts to. If there Is any other person in the United States who receives as large a salary as MT. Dodd it is not generally known.
 Charles M. Schwab. president oi the United States Steel corporation, draws a salary of $100,000 a year. There are twelve other persons in the employ of the United States Steel corporation who receive a salary of over $20,0 900 a year. s. R. Galloway, president of the American Locomotive company, is credited with receiving a salary of $100, 900 a year. To accept this position MT. Galloway resigned the presidency of the New York Central. AS the head of the New York Central he drew a salary of $40,0 900 a year.
 It is not known what the salary of Henry H. Rogers, president of the Amalgamated Copper company, is. MT. Rogers succeeded Marcus Daly, who received $10O,00 It is thought that MT. Rogers receives a larger salary. Henry O. Havemeyer, president of the American Sugar Refining company, is said to draw a salary of S1O0.000 year. c. A. Coffin, president Of the General Electric. is understood to receive 1000 a year.
 The largest salary paid any bank president in the country is understood to be S5O0O0 a year. Several New York bank presidents are known to re- cieve this salary. There is one bank president in Chicago who is also said to draw a salary of S50.000 a year. As rule. bank presidents are usually

NOTABLE VISITORS EXPECTED
Dewey and Cortelyou Nay Attend
 Trans-hississippi Congress.

There is little doubt that the next session of the Trans Mississippi Com mercial congress, which convenes in Seattle August IS, will be by far the best attended and most interesting ses- sion ever held by that organization. According to the Seattle papers. for warded to B. A. Fowler, a vice-presi- dent for Arizona, preparations are be- ing made for the entertainment of 2.O00 delegates. while there will also be an army of tourists who will take advantage of the liberal railroad rates to visit the northwest. From all com mon points the railroads have made a rate of less than one fare for round trip, and the tickets will be good till the middle of October.
 Among the distinguished men to whom invitations have been sent are Admiral Dewey. who has never visited the northern Pacific states. and George B. Cortelyou. secretary of commerce. These gentlemen have not yet replied to their invitations, but there is a well founded hope that they will accept Many notable railroad men, and others holding high positions in commercial enterprises are expected to attend while the delegates themselves will re- present all important industrial inter- ests in the west.
 In a social way the people of Seattle and nearby cities are arranging many interesting features for the entertain ment of the visitors, having in view the wonderful advertisement that is sure to fellow and that will greatly benefit the rapidly growing cities of the northwest

 MT. Rusk said that the animal had been traced to a cave and while it was in hiding a Mexican crawled into the cave, carrying a gun and torch, the latter composed of ocatilla.

A MICHIGAN COMPANY
That Proposes To Do Big Things in
 the Warren District

The following from the Marquette Mining Journal tells of the organiza- tion of the latest mining company to operate in the vicinity of Bisbee:
 H. c. Cain is selling shares in a new mining company that has recently been organized and will operate in the War ren district of Arizona. The property is situated in the Tombstone canyon the same canyon where the Copper Queen and Calumet X Arizona mines of the Bisbee district are located. about five miles distant, in a north westerly direction. A part of the can yon is embraced within the company's claims, and there the canyon is even wider than it is further southwest, near the rich ore deposits worked by the Copper Queen and Calumet & Ari- zona properties; and the lands to the south. to the east and to the north center, forming a natural land basin that would catch and retain descend ing mineral solutions and hot acid wa ters tht assist in forming mineral de- posits. In fact the property looks like a spot formed by nature for the de- position of minerals. and where min ing was designed to be carried forward on a grand scale.
 The oIncers are: Ex-Congressman c. D. Sheldon, Houghton. president; Henry J. Vivian, Calumet, vice presi- dent; and James L. Nanksrvis, Calu- met, treasurer and secretary. Among 1 the company are John Duncan, super intendent of the Calumet & Hec!a mine; MT. Patch, superintendent of the Calu- | met & Hecla smelters at Buffalo; Pro : fessors Seaman and Koenig of the ! Michigan College of Mines. and many J others of equal note and reliability. In order to raise money to carry on
 the work, the company offers for sale 20, 1000 shares at s10 per share, paya ble . in four separate installments, S2.50 to accompany the subscription; S2.5O in three months; $2.50 in six months and $250 in nine months, should the fourth call be needed Both MT. Wills and ! MT .Chenoweth predict that the ore deposits Tn the company's land- should 1 be reached by a shaft 300 or 400 feet ! deep. If their prediction proves cor
 rect the cost of running down a shaft | that depth will not be great and the
 money realized from three install
 ments might be sufficient to complete ! the work.

MoDERN1z1NG THE HOLY LAND
Invasion of American Mechanical In-
 ventions Into Syria.

"A peaceful revolution is now going on in the holy land" writes an Ameri- can correspondent. Where blows of antique types were hauled by camels
 oxen, and donkeys. the steam blow is seen. In. harvest time, instead of the patient, antique methods, huge har- vesting machines, reapers and thresh- CTS are operated by steam. The stand ard guage railway has already pene- trated inland to Hons, the 'Manches- ter of Syria where, on its arrival. a mob demanded it's surrender. Victor ias and landaus are running between Hons and Palmyra, where the ruins were once a sealed book. Automibile lines are preparing to cross the desert and succeed the mail lines of fleet ldrCmedaries. When the American steam thresher arrived in Syria from Indiana the plant was promptly bought by Najib Sursock Bey, the progressive millionaire, owning great areas of Sy- ria and Egypt, who vows to buying anything the Americans invent. The success of the plant was complete. The straw bruiser attached to the separa- tor has opened a new dawn of plenty for starving animals of the holy land. Syrian straw is hard and stiff, and hence it was supposed for ages to be valueless. The bruiser, a steel cylin- der with twelve rows of corrugated teeth, making 1,200 revolutions a min-
 ute, now makes the straw fit for the animals to eat. The Koran" adds the correspondent, twill surely retreat be- fore American machinery and methods introduced simultaneously with Amer ican schools This may be said to be

QUAINT VILLAGE NEAR PARIS.
La Frette. Whose People Speak French
 Worse Than Those of the Midi.

worse man IHOSe or the MlQl.
 It seems hardly credible that not more than thirty minutes from all the noise and hustle of Paris there lies a village that Is so quiet. so peaceful. and so old-fashioned that one would imagine oneself at least 100 miles away from the gay capital
 Here. at this village, La Frette by name, and about fifteen minutes walk from Comedies, preparations for mid day and evening repasts nave to be made very early in the morning, for no such thing as good shop is any where near, and the walk to Comedies is one which one considers twice be- fore taking. for it is up steep and rough roads. So daily, butcher. baker and green grocer pass this quaint little place, and the villagers gather round the various tradesmen and make their purchases for the day. They also buy their clothes in this way. and I have often seen them trying on bonnets. dresses and boots in the midst of the street.
 From a scenic point of view all art ists have agreed that there is no place to equal La Frette between Paris and
 
 the park of Maisons Laffitte, and fac ing the park is Sartrouville. while op- posite lies the forest of St. Germain in all its green splendor. To the right is Herblay, quite an important place. whose church is visible for miles along the Seine.
 La Frette itself has the -quaintest villagers possible. Many of them speak worse French than those of the Midi, and it is an event indeed when one takes a journey up to the capital. They are the thriftiest of the thrifty Only short time ago one of the peas ants gave his daughter no less a sum than a quarter of a million francs on her wedding day, and another is to re- ceive the same amount on her ap- preaching marriage. And yet this man, who must be worth four or five mill limos of francs at least, lives in a patch ed up old house and digs in the fields from early morning till late at night
 La Frette boasts of a church which is so decrepit that it has to be plaster ed up from time to time to keep it from absolute ruin. Here mass is said once a week-on Sunday mornings at 10. The villagers appear on these occasions in their best clothes. No sooner Is mass over. however, than they rush home and take them off. except when such an event as a premiere communion takes place, such as was the case a few Sundays ago. when they spend the best part of the day in church, and in the evening dinner parties are given on a sumptuous scale in several of the cottages.-Pall Mall Gazette.

RAGNAROk MINES
An Orc BlancO Property Sold to East
 ern Capitalists.

J. A. Fraser, who is to be superin- tendent for the company. is in Tucson and reports that the Ragnarok mines in the Orc Blanco district have been pur- chased by D. Homer Jennings of Bridgeport, Conn. for a syndicate, composed of J. T. Quinlan, E. l.. Eos ter, F. M. Bishop and others for con- sideration based upon a valuation of $15O,O0O. which was placed upon the property by Messrs. Kempton & Me Coy, well known mining engineers in New York, says the Citizen.
 The Ragnarok mines were owned by J. M. Kirkpatrick and J. 8. Andrews of Orc Blanco and are the last of the great properties located by "Old Kirk. " There are three large veins on the Ragnarck capable of furnishing 6 large tonnage of good free milling ore.
 Operations will be inaugurated at once by the new owners and the lat est improved machinery installed at an early date for the treatment of the ore.
 Orc Blanco is 75 miles south of Tue son and just over the Pima county line in Santa Cruz below Arivaca. The dis trict is tributary to Tucson and with this deal a third property in the dis trict changed hands within the past three months. Pima and Santa Cruz counties are attracting attention in the east and the coming year as result will be a boom period for Tucson.

BIG PRESCOTT ENTERPRISE
Manufacture of Sand Stone Brick, a
 New Building Material.

Early Monday morning, says the Prescott Herald. a party composed of w. A. Drake. chief engineer of the s. F. P. x P. railroad: J. M. Emmert. assistant to F. M. Murphy; R. N. Fredericks, cashier of the Prescott National bank: Morris Goldwater, vice president of the Prescott National bank: Ed Block. president of the Mer- chants Mining company; Fred Brecht. one of the good, substantial citizens of Prescott drove to the Fredericks prop erty, just west of T w Simmons ranch. where the plant of the Arizona Sandstone Brick company is to be To- cated, and laid out the grounds for the building.
 MT. Drake had a surveyor on the ground with his instrument to survey for the two spurs which will be put in at the works. Each spur will be about 600 feet long. One track will be made in front of the brick plant and the other in the rear. Everything will be made as handy as money and good management can arrange it.
 The buildings will be located on the northeast corner of the Fredericks' place, formerly the old race track. about fifty yards from the railroad. The main building will be 60x140 feet. The contract for the erection of the building will be let soon. Several con- tractors are now figuring on the work The frame of heavy timbers will be put up and the roof of corrugated iron put on. Then the walls will be filled in with the first product of the new plant.
 The plant will cost between $40. 0OC and s5O,O0o. The first of the machinery has already been received. The com plete machinery will weigh about POO. 900 pounds, making five carloads. A we'll was sunk on the grounds las: week to a depth of twelve feet. Ii now contains three feet of water. Ar abundance of the very best of sand is in sight on the ranch.

The company is formed wholly of local capitalists and has a paid up capital of $50000. The incorporators went in to the business with a desire to work for the good of the city. They felt tha: the building industry was almost throttled by the cost of material. and they determined to make a radical change.
