Mr.. Rogers insisted on having . per

lessee before proceeding further. The
interview generally was brief. consist

tions put by the old millionaire. Then
he would announce TO mis-; lawyers that
he was not favorably impressed with
the would-be tenants manner or APP

At other times when merchants of
high standing proposed TO pay q lib

making all necessary repairs, Mr.. Rog-

him TO rent the building he said, pet

When the matter of keeping the
building in repair was called to the
milliCnaire's attention he would fly in
to a rage and assert with forcible en-
phasis that it made no difference to him
how far it sank into decay. The
strangest thing about his eccentric at

he never grumbled when he had to pay
the taxes.

The Chesk Strap.

Mrs. Mary Wilkins Freeman is timid
out her husband. Consequently when
one day last week she took a lady Wis
itor for a drive she was not prepared
to meet an emergency with which they
were confronted when they had to pro-
coed a few miles into the country. They
were passing a horse trough when
their steed suddenly stopped. sidled up
to the trough and demanded n drink as
plainly as a horse could. The two wo-
men looked at each other in conster-
nation. What should they do? The
head Of the tightly checked horse was
at an impossible angle with the low
trough
"Shall we unharness him. Nary"
asked the other woman, who was as
unfamiliar as the authoress with ev-
erything relating to horses.
MO replied Mrs. Freeman, hest
tatingly. Il don't think that IS neces-
sary. believe they unhitch some
something"
The two women got out of the bug
gy and examined the harness care
fully.
"Ah. that must be it," exclaimed
Mrs. Freeman at last, as she espied the
buckle on the tail strap.
But when she had unfastened it and
the harness dropped forward bodily
over the horses head she decided she
must have made mistake-PhiIadel-

Lost a Fortune by Whim.

To satisfy a whim he nursed in some
corner of his brain, Jacob S. Rogers,
the Paterson millionaire locomotive
builder, who left $4,000 to the Met
ropolitan Muesem of Art. lost $500, 900
in rentals from one of his many pieces
of property in this city. says the New
York Press. For fifteen years he al
lowed a five-story building on Broad
way to remain empty. refusing an Of
fer of $2500O0 for it outright. paying
$4,000 a pear taxes on it for all these
years, with never a shadow of a ,rea-
son in explanation of so costly a
freak.
This building is SCI Broadway, and
for fifteen years it has stood silent and
empty among. the great buildings
which surround it, each one alive with
activity from cellar to roof. There is
probably no building of it's kind in
New York which has been allowed to
fall so absolutely into decay as this.
From subcellar to roof there is scarce
ly a sound beard in it, and it is only
prevented from tumblIng into a heap
of debris by the massive timbers of it's

to Mercer street. The facade is of
iron, originally painted yellow, but
now a dirty brown, rusted and weather
stained. The ceilings are unusually
high and the present emptiness of the
great rooms gives them a vast appear
Gnce that comes more or less as a
shock in these days of economical
space. The natural decay is increased
by the flood of water that streams in
through the roof in heavy rains and
percolates through every section of
the building, running along corniCes.

staircases. After the heavy rain last
week more than five inches of water
stood on the first floor CT the building

has entered the building in the last
eight years, except for the rare visits
of the agents Of the estate, is the man
who has had the privilege CT keeping
a small candy stand in the doorway of
the store in return for sweeping off the
sidewalk and keeping the ground floor
free from debris.
For a period of fifteen years before
his death Mr. Rogers was besieged by
merchants, who offered him from $780,

THE M'CAeE MINE.

Frank jaeger and party left this
morning for the cast, after a visit to
the McCabe mine, says the Prescott
Journal Miner. They expressed them
selves well pleased with the property.
The new mill has been completed and
is now in operation and is working very
satisfactorily. 1t has a capacity of
eighty tons per day. and if it should
continue to Five satisfaction it's capac-
ity will be increased to 200 tons per
day. The company is now building

FUNERAL IMPORTANTLY
An Inquest Held on the Body of a
Babe.

1t is hard to get part of the Next
can population to understand that
there should be some sort CT a system
even in matters of death. 1t became
necess airy yesterday to impress that
fact by means of an inquest
a fourteen months old child by the
name of Miguel Mario, whose parents
reside in the southern part OF the city,
died the night before. The father
bought q coffin. took it home and
preparation for the burial were we'll
under way when word was brought to
DR.. Path, the health officer, of the
intended interment. He is supposed to
know all about the deaths and he had
never heard of this one.
He went to see about it and learned
tn at the child had had nc doctor. The
parents did not know of any other
cause of death except the fact that it
had ceased to live. The case was report
ed TO Coroner Burnett and a Jury was
impaneled. 1t was found at the in
quest that the child had been sickly
almost from birth: that it had been
unable to take food in sufficient GUAM
titles and since it had reached the
teethirg period it had grown worse.
From the parents and neighbors
description of it's ailment it was con-
cluded that the cause of death was
malnutr' ton and negligence which in
the case of persons more intelligent
than the parents would have been
criminal. The burial was allowed to
proceed.
1t has been the custom Of the lower
classes of MeXicans from the earliest
times in Phoenix to hide their dead
away with as little delay and formal
ity as possible, especially when the
dead one was a child Even when
grown persons have died some friend
would buy a coffin and have it de-
livered to the house as if it were any
other piece of furniture. Two or three
of the neighbors would put the body
into it and the cortege would go across
the fields by the nearest way to the
grave yard.

TIE PECK MINE
Remarkable Tale Comes From Fanou,
Producer of Silver.

ono of the most famous silver prop
critics in Arizona is the old Peck mine.
Of Yavap2l county. Many years ago
the Peck was a producer Of phenom-
enally rich ore. but in later years it lay
Idle until recently when operations
We're resumed under a lease. The Pres
colt Journal Miner has the following
interesting account of a. new discovery
alleged to have been made a few days
ago:
60. E. Pagan, who has lease on the
Peck mine, telephOned to Prescott on
Saturday for q lot of ore sacks for the
shipment of a lot Of ore which he had
just encountered in that famous mire
This strike of ore. according to his
message. is one of the most important
made in the mine for years.
When Mr.. Eagan took his lease on
the mine one of the first things that
he did was to remove the dirt from a
cave in the tunnel This cave occurred
years ago and none of the later lesseas
of the mine paid any attention to 1t.
Mr.. Eagan, however, decided to re-
move this dirt and get to the end Of
the old workings on the tunnel. He
completed the task early last week.
and came across a door which had
been locked up for years-for so many
years thCt even Pat Donlan, who has
resided there since the discovery of the
mine, and who has worked in the mine
at various times could not recall the
time when this door was placed there
and locked.
In fact he did not even know Of it's
existence there. The door had been
there fer 20 Ions time that with
kick with the foot it crunn5le like dust
almost. but G death dealing air poured
out from the enclosure in the tunnel
hahind it, driving the men away. 1t
was left for three CT four days before
the men dared to enter the heretofore
scaled md forbidden enclosure.
ION Saturday however the air had
cleared IN sufficiently to permit C
work, and an eight inch streak of ore
was discovered which goes 1000 ounces
per ton in silver.
1T was this discovery that caused
Mr.. Eagan to telephone for the ore
sacks.
THE history of the locked IN treas
ure Of course is all conjecture. Whether
the ore was discovered there and lock-
ed up to he kept as a secret by the
parties making the discovery. or
whether this door was placed there ard
kept locked just to keep out intruders
is not knclSn and cannot be explained
by any ore met thus far who is famil-
lar with the history Of the mine.
IN any event the cave occurred at a
