G. V. c. & N. RAILROAD
Revival of Scheme For Its Extension
 to Pinto Creek.

W. B. Devereaux, of Glenwood Springs, Colo, arrived in Globe last Friday night in Superintendent Sroufes private car, says the Globe Silver Belt, and remained until Tues day morning. his time while here be- ing occupied largely in an examination of the Black Warrior property, and a visit to other mines in that vicinity in cluding the property of Hnletter & Harvey. MT Devereaux came sere at the request of tke Southern Pacific management to examine the Black Warrior, for what purpose he said ke was not fully advised himself, but probbaly to determine whether the amount of business that might reason ably be expected from the operation of the Black Warrior and other mines west Of Globe would justify the exten- sion of the c. V. G. & N railroad via Black Warrior to Pinto creek. Mir. Devereaux is well known to the old residents of Globe, many of whom availed themselves of the opportunity of renewing his acquaintance. He and his brothers, J. H. and H. F. Dever- eaux, were engaged in mining in this district from 1881 to the sumer of 1883. In the spring of 1883 they ran the Car rie smehers on ore from the Big John ny and O'Dougherty mines then owned by the Tacoma Copper company, but sudden slump in copper from p 10 12 cents compelled shutdown. ". B. Devereaux went from here to Aspen, Colo, where he was prominently iden- tified with the development of the rich silver mines in that camp, and still has mining interests and with his brothers owns the electric light and power plants there. as well as the cleo tric plant at Glenwood Springs Mir Devereaux was so favorably impressed with ihe Finletter & Harvey property and the evidences of mineral wealth in that vicinity that he has promised to return at an early date to make closer examination of the mines in this district.

BASKET WORK.

as the balance wheel or as the wind
mill pattern is best worked out in two
colors.
Beginners should be content to ac
quire the stitch of raffia basket making
in one color before they plunge into
patterns. When one has learned to
make a respectable basket in natural
colored raffia, then something simple
in two colors can be taken up. This
mode of practice leads one up to the
intricacies of the joyful art of raffia
basketry with few regrets and with
far more expedition than the mode Of
beginning with the thing at the wrong
end and having to come all the way
back again.
But whether one is an expert OF an
amateur she will find her greatest joy
in designing her own patterns, and by
resorting to the little device here point
ed out it will be found that know'-
edge of drawing is not at all necessary
in arranging a very respectable pat
tern design.

pitality being proverbial. The interior
furnishings of the place. while costly,
are sensible, and one finds furniture
that can be used as we'll as admired. So
even more remarkable than the manor
itself are the stables connected with it.
Mr.. Whitney's great hobby is horse
racing, and at Wheatley Hills he has
built veritable palaces for his equine
pets. The stables here are contained in
what has the appearance of being a
huge Swiss structure, 800 feet in length
and 65 feet in width. with an extension
so feet by 80 feet. This structure stands
midway on gentle slope falling
toward the lowlands Of the Hampstead
plains and is so built that on fair days
in winter the sun is never off the stalls,
it's rays being admitted to them by
glass half DOORS
! The stalls, eighty in number, are of
themselves worth attention. They are
of the species known as box and are 20
feet long, % feet wide and 10 fee h
No stall is exposed to the weather in
any way, for back of each is a passage
twenty feet wide between the walls of
the stall and the walls of the building
work. the stall flooring being of dry,
hard packed earth.
On either side as one enters the sta

the head stableman and the other for
the veterinary. In the extension is
big harness room. and on the floor
above quarters for the hundred Or more
stablemen and boys who are kept busy
until the horses are taken away for the
racing season. On this floor, too, are
gymnasium, library, a huge kitchen
and a big cold storage room. An at
tractive cottage for the trainer is near
the stables. In fact, nothing has been
left undone to make the employees and
their charges as comfortable as posi-
BILE
AS is to be expected, the estate also
boasts a private race track. This is a
mile long, the first quarter mile being
straightaway. There is also a private
steeplechase course, one of the finest in
the country. In addition to these Mr..
Whitney has had an excellent golf
course laid out. and has built private
gymnasium and squash courts for the
use of the family and visitors.
What may be termed the landmark
of the place is huge windmill AS a
matter of fact, this is the only feature
of the estate noticeable from any dis
lance so thickIy wooded is the country.
The Windmill is 175 feet high and
stands on a lofty elevation, SO that it Is
one of the most conspicuous objects Of
this section of Long Island. . -

Westbury, n. Y, Feb. 9.--The recent

the new country home Of former Sec

where the La Fargo window has found
an abiding place. The Whitney man

is large and lofty, a worthy reposi-
tory for the Italian renaissance wood
work with which it is being decorated.
1t also contains two La Fargo win
dows, the one lately exhibited and a
companion piece thai was executed
some months ago. Both windows are
remarkable as examples of delicate
workmanship. The lead is applied in
some places so nicely that il is not WIS.,
ible at first glance, and the windows
are incased in sheets OF glass, which
serve still Mlrther to tone the delicate
covering
The mansion is of t.ick, a14 the air
of an English manor house is con-
veyed not only by its deep coloring,
but by its many gables and deep caves.
Everything possible has been done in
the exterior construction to take away
from it as much as possible the ap-
pearance of newness. Antique oak
is freely used in the trimmings of the
veranda. The shingles are dark, the
blinds finished in dull colors In fact,
the ensemble is such as to make the
tones of the house harmonic with the
surrounding woods and their glorious
shadows
