WHEN CARNEGIE WAS HAPPY,
Millionaire Tells of One Of His Ear.
liest Experiences.

.
MT Carnegie makes no pretensions
to being public orator. but that he
has the happy faculty OF saying the
right thing in the right place has been
madc evident on numerous occasions.
Such an occasion was the recent an
nual dinner given In Mr.. Carnegie's
honor by the American Institute OF
Electrical Engineers. where he made
brief address. Speaking at this
time OF some of his early experiences.
Mr. Carnegie said that the greatest
change that ever came to him was
when he was transferred from the
cellar of an engine room to tele-
graph office, where there was clean
paper and pencils and windows"

for all of his great age.
Il was SO frightened at his queer
look that I did not dare stir. Finally
he got up and crept down the side OF
the hill. l still looked at him, with
my eyes half shut and my blood frozen.
Every now and then he turned and
looked back at me. 1t was bright

Case of Erench Grin.

Paris now boasts man with steel

other day at his own request. he was
examined by student, and pro-

thereupon seized the students hand.

crushed the fingers to show his ap-
probation of the welcome intelli-

One of the most remarkable rail-
ways In the world is that which
Americans are now building across
the Andes to connect Guayaquil on
the coast with Quito. the capital OF
Ecuador, in the interior, a distance
of more than 800 miles.
For the first stage the railroad is
comparatively level After passing

~ San Francisco, Sept. l6.-Deputy U. S. Marshal Gamble has made a complete confession to United States District Attorney Woodwork, of his connection with the substitution of old and decrepit Cbinamen for young orientals under sentence of deporta- ton.

The president was accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt and number of guests, who went to New York on the yacht Sylpb.
 The president and party, on his way to Ellis Island, aboard the Sylph, landed at the Brooklyn navy yard this afternoon. Un leaving Oyster Bay this morning the Sylpb ran into terrific storm. Rain came down in torrents. and the wind blew a gale. Off Willets point the vessel was i'll se- riOus danger. On passing through Hell Gate the gale increased iu force. About d quarter ol mile from the Sylph tug towing a schooner went down, hut it could not be ascertained The passengers of the Sylph were forced below the decks by the inten- -ity of the storm. After reaching East River the president decided to go to Ellis Island. and started for there -bortiy after two o'clock. The storm then abated considerably but when ,hs Sylph reached the island the sea Saz SO rough landing could not be made.

the three shafts, to depth of 100 feet
 each, as was originally intended, and
 Messrs. Dempsey & O'Dea will obtain
 their first payment of $50, 900 as soon
 as the crosscut is completed. Think
 of it! If the deal goes through the sale of this prospect is without a par allel in the annals of mining history
 in Arizona. The owners receive $50, 900 down and the additional sum of S200, 900 at the expiration of six
 months with the deepest shaft only 54 feet. It is five times the original price paid for the already famous Gold Road mine and is as yet only a prospect. The ore in all three shafts has steadily held its values and prob ably could not be purchased today for cool million dollars. The Pilgrim group is destined to become the great est dividend payer the west has ever known. The crosscut will tap the hanging wall at a distance ranging between 30 and 90 feet and will be in less than twenty days. Messrs. Dempsey & O'Dea are not only deserving of their good fortune, but have the good wishes of host of friends in their sudden rise from pov- erty and toll to life of ease and lux ury for the balance of their days.- Chloride Arrow.

Rhonstandt, all of the Tucson gun club; vice presidents were chosen as follows: Tucson, Dr. Purcell; Jerome, J. A. Knoblock Bisbee, Isaac Ives; Douglas, Wm. Adamson; Prescott, D. D. Mcdonald.
 A vote of thanks was extended to the gun club of Prescott for the splendid manner in which they had entertained the visitors, and also to the business men and others of the city who had donated many handsome and valuable prizes.
 The attendance at the shoot Sunday, the last day was very good, there be- ing big crowd present in the after noon. The blue rocks suffered terri ble slaughter, some remarkable rec ords being made.

 The last event was the contest for the sweep stake medal, which was for merly the Tucson live bird medal. l This was tied for by Tanner and Web CT, and in the shoot off Weber won the l medal.

 The carving set was won by Knock | lock, of Jerome, the condition being 1 the man averaging nearest 70 per cent | for the tournament.
 Tanners average for the tournament | was 9 l-2 per cent, the best record that has ever been made in the terri tory.
 Weber. of Tucson, made the longest run without missing target, the off cial record showing 6l, for which the medal was given him, but he actually broke S6 without missing, one event | of D targets not being in the official | count. This is also a very remarkable | run.
 Tanner, of PheniX, made the highest l average for the tournament, Seaver, of San Francisco, second, and Aitken, of PheniX, third.
 The tournament proved to be most | successful and satisfactory event.

The belief that the recent rich
 strikes of gold ore in Gold guIch, near Silver city, will prove of great per
 manent value, continues to grow here, while miners are daily flOcking into the new district. Some experienced miners even go so far as to say that the old gulch, which has been pros pected for years, and which is report ed to have been worked by the Span iards, will prove to New Mexico what Cripple Creek has to Colorado. More men are waiting the re- suits of further prospecting before so broad a statement, but the locations already made and the values revealed seem to warrant the belief that very valuable strike has been made, and that the fortune of Silver City have begun to flow full and strong. g.-Albuquerque Journal Democrat.
