it is one mine camp. On the other
hand there are two problems before
the mine owners of that place. The

the problem of the successful treatment
of the ores, more particularly those
of the normal grade of which all camps
descend and from which in most cas-
es the greatest profits are made.
This latter problem is perhaps as
serious as any, but it can be solved
more by brains than the employment
of large amount of capital and as
brains are cheaper than money in the
present state of the finantial market

The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1903-01-10

the manner in which they were man
aged showed clearly that the young
man was born to the game.
In short time he had a following.
BY courtesy 1t was called an army.
There were two or three of these ar
mics then in the field. General Herman
dez was at the head OF one. At that
time Andrade was president of Vene-
zuela. Hernandez and the other reyo-
lutionists fought Independently of each
other. Each was for himself Finally
Hernandez was caught away from his
army, He was taken prisoner by An
drade. Then Andrade gave his atten-
ton to the others,
The dark young man quietly gath
cred up the forces which the unfortu-
nate Hernandez had commanded. One
day he heard that Andrade. with a big
army, was looking for him. He had
been declared an outlaw. A price had
been put on his head. This was some
thing of a distinction for an obscure
young soldier to have achieved, but it
did not embarrass him in the least.
Detailing a small part of his force,
he sent 1t out to meet Andrade's big
army. 1t was sheer folly. of course,
but while Andrade was engaged In de-
molishing this little band the young
man had slipped around the corner
and by a series of forced marches
reached Caracas, which was defended
only by handful of troops. The
Young man coolly marched ill., took
possession of the capital aud pro-
claimed himself dictator. He has been
dictator ever since. His name is Cipri-
ano Castro.
Such WAS the rise to fame of the
man who has involved Venezuela i'm a
most variegated lot of trouble with
European nations. From obscurity
and poverty he has risen with meteoric
rapidly to worldwide fame and TO
the possession of great wealth. For
more than three years he has ruled his
turbulent republic with autocratic
sway, almost constantly busy in crush
Ing revolts and all the time more or
less at odds with powerful nations
across the sea. And today he is but
forty-seven years of age.
Castro is not, as are so many South
and Central American chief executives
of almost wholly unmixed Spanish
blood In fact, there is very little, IL
any, Spanish blood in his veins. He is
said to be almost full blood Indian
and 1t is alleged that he is proud of
mis- origin. In many ways he is an
interesting and remarkable man. the
most remarkable in Venezuela.
He has much energy, a boundless
ambition and an unbounded belief in
his country's future. His grand scheme
is to merge Venezuela, Colombia and
Ecuador In one big federation. with
himself as Its dictator Naturally he

crashed In at the front, fled to Barba.
DOS ON Venezuela's only gunboat and
then, with Infinite courtesy, sent the
boat back to Castro with a note say
ing, Il return you the navy; you NAV
need it Yourself"
Castro's aspirations lean rather to
the Blanco method of exit and to a
golden exile. Traitors in his own house
tell of frequent shipments of gold sent
abroad by the thrifty president.
In the heart of the capital city there
is palace which has an extension built
entirely of steel. The house is called
Mira Flores and was the residence Of
Crespo when that fighting general was
president. The steel extension was not
built with the forethought of fire: il is
earthquake proof
Ihat the steel house is bullet proof is
an added point of merit in the dicta
tors eyes That which Castro most
fears is not earthquake not nature, but
humankind. Richard Harding Davis
tells an anecdote of Castro in connec-
ton with this steel house.
THE president is good fellow"
says Davis, "and the type of fighter
General Funston represents i'm this
country. He Is great 'admirer of
President Roosevelt, whose rough rid

Ing thing happened in his household
the other day. Some time ago he built
himself a fine palace and put i'm II an

artists and costing $4,000, to take ref.

weeks ago there was an earthquake.
but the president and his entire house

In Venezuela Castro has under his
sway about 100000 people, scattered
over an area of 593,943 square miles.
The population is of the same charac.
