The Great Espee.

F. o. Mccormick, passenger trafic manager of the Southern Pacific com pany, whose headquarters are in San Francisco, has sent out to all agents a | lengthy and most interesting state ment of facts showing what the great Southern Pacific ar allied in terests are doing for the country through which their lines pass. The statement shows especially what Pre- sidcpt Hartman is doing for the bet terment of his railway system in Cali 1ornia, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Texas and Arizona. During the past three years SlO4, ,34S, 369 have been put into expenditures, bet terments, and equipment on the lines of the Hartman system, which enor nous amount is by far more than the total expenditure necessary for the completion of the Panama canal, and the end IS not yet. The statement shows, too, that the company have re- gently expended very close to S5, ,00O- GOO to construct the Osden-Lucin cut off which saves the cross continent tra veler six or seven hours of time on his overland journey.
 The company's intention to make the track dustless IS greatly apprecia- ted by the travelling public and already in Arizona over two hundred miles of track are now oiled. The original ex- pense of this oiling has been about SS5 mile, but the second year it Is claimed the expense will be but half as much. Agent II. Jordan of the Nogales station, says it is planned to oil all the sandy and dusty track through California, New Mexico and Arizona, and also to oil the grounds about the stations where there Is so much travel as to make disa gre cable dust.
 The great Espee system is spending millions of dollars with the i'd of esta biishing a railway system equal to any ever constructed, and the present plans of the directors will not stop here. The rapid development of the Pacific coast and western territory, and the remarkable awakening of Pacific com rserce, are the causes of these eXpen- di0ures which put the railways on the footing demanded by the possibilities of the tratic, and the outlook, in the judgment of the far seeing officials, warrants every confidence in the future. Truly the S. P. system is great, and commends itself to the travelling pubic.

ClENEGUiTA MINES.
Reports from the Rich Copper Camp
 Are Encouraging.

T. s Lewis of Los Angeles, treasur- CT of the Cieneguita Copper company, was in the city yesterday, en route to Denver, from whence he will go to New York, the headquarters of the company, and where President George Beebe is ct present. The company is now employing over l5O men, driving nine tunnels and crosscuts all of which are showing up marvelliously well. The tunnels have cut series of rich veins. The great mountain which is being tunnelled seems to be one great b 'dy of ore.
 Arthur Henry is now on the mines making estimates for puptting in ma chinerv for electric power to be gen erated from the stream in the imme- diate vicinity of the mines. The power will be utiliz ed for operating the power drills and lighting the mines. All ot the information form the mines are glowing with big hopes. Tucson Star.

and geodetic survey in Washington be-
fore he went abroad to live.
While Whistler was doing draughts-
mans work in the coast and geodetic
survey he had little room in the
house at Twelfth and e, two flights up
and scantily furnished. He lived there
as best he could on his pay of $150
day. Finally he got into trouble with
the landlord because he insisted on
stopping on the way down stairs in the
morning to scribblc pictures on the un-
papered walls. When the landlord re-
nonstrated Whistler replied: ''Now,
now, never mind! I'll not charge you
anything for the decoration" But in
the end the artist had to seek other
lodgings.
When Whistler was in Washington he
had friend in the Russian Charge
d'Affaires de Stoeckl. who had been
a friend also of the young mans ia
ther. Whistler invited De Stoeckl to
dinner one night. He called for the
diplomat in cab, and they stopped at
the grocer's, the confectioner's and the
tobacconist's on the way in order to
pick up the ingredients of the dinner.
Then they climbed the rickety stairway
to Whistlers den, and the Russian

Whistler was here only little more
than year. Then he quit the govern
ment service without regret on either
side and little later sailed for the
other side, where he remained until he
died.

Doric architecture in this country.
There are 80 of them, each of them
about 40 feet high, and taken together
they create an imposing facade, which
has won the admiration of architects
the world over.
But, imposing as they are in appear
ance, there is note of insincerity about.
them. They are built in pieces, each
pillar containing seven separate sections,
and they are built of sandstone. The
columns on the north front of the treas
ury, on the contrary, are solid mono
liths of Quincy granite, and while they
are not so many in number, they are
more impressive for that very reason.
Last summer Secretary Shaw be-
pillars on the east front, and he put
to work on them sand blast machine
that in few weeks had peeled from the
surface the accumulated dust and CRIME
of 80 years. The cleansing process has
had two results. 1t has revealed to the
most needless eye the lines of division
between the sections of the columns, and
1t has disclosed hundreds of cracks and
assures which hitherto had not been
suspected. Some of the columns are
cracked in scores of places like sun
baked mud, waiting only for water to
settle and freeze there in order to wreck
the entire column. In other places frag-
ments of stone can be pulled out which
crumble between the fingers like dry
bread. 1t is proposed now to coat the
columns with nicolite, a preparation
which it is said will seal up the pores in
the stone, rendering it impervious to
water and acids. 1t is reckoned that
this process may preserve the columns
for 80 or 40 years longer; but sooner
or later they will all have to be replaced
by granite.

TELEPHONE PROPOSAL.
An Instance Which illustrates the
Danger of Getting Things
Mixed,

A Chicago banker, SO the paper
says. recently made proposal OF
marriage to a lady in Cadiz, O., over
the long-distance telephone, and re-
ceived an acceptance OF his proposal
in the same manner. 1t worked all
right in this instance, and they will
soon be married, no doubt, and live
happy ever after, says the Los Angeles
Herald
But think Of the risks a man runs
when he proposes over the telephone.
He might get the wrong party, by mis-
take, and being unaware of it propose
to the wrong party. 1t requires no
strain on the Imagination to see
where that would land him.
That, however, is not where the
great danger lies. Well assume that
he already has got the right party,
and the first greetings are over, and
he has again treasured her on the
subject of his undying love, and she
has come back at him, good and
strong, with an avowal Of her great
faith in him, and some expressions of
unbounded affection. That's all over
with, remember, and he is trying to
think what to say next, and just about
at the point of risking all, and saying
the fateful words. He clears his
throat and says: "Er-ahem!-Clara,
T."
"Bur-r-r-r-r-r-r-rup!" goes the tele-
phone. Then strange, girlish voice
comes; voice that he has never
heard before. 1t says: did you get
the party you asked for?"
Hang it all; no, hadn't asked her
yet-that is-no, yes, mean-what
the devil is it to you, anyhow"

The tone is trif1e resentful.

preference should be given to such ALI

appropriation of 100000 toward the
completion of the monument, the chief
of engineers examined that part OF
the shaft which had been standing for
half a century and discovered that it
was out of plumb. But just how much
out of plumb nobody could say. The
shaft was 1877 feet high and looked like
factory chimney, and it didn't stand
straight That was sufficient to cast
doubt on the possibility of raising it
over 800 feet higher in the air, but no
body in the engineers department
could get at the problem.
Davis happened to be stationed in
Washington and he said he could fix
it. He was not an engineer, but an
infantry officer, but they gave him a
chance to try. The difficulty was in
| causing tho NUMB hobs or weights at
the end of a string 1877 feet long to re-
main perfectly steady while the OBJ
servations were being made. Davis
very simply got barrel of New Or
leans molasses and poured it into a
glass vessel of the same size. The con-
sistency of the mollasses kept the
weight at the end of the string from
swaying in the air; while the glass
and the fluid were transparent enough
to enable the variations to be accu-
rately observed. 1t was found that the
shaft was five feet out of plumb Then
came the question of Strengthening it
and again the engineers were at fault.
Again the infantry officer came to the
rescue, and the president asked him
to undertake the job. He Strengthened
the shaft.
