Return of an Early Argonaut.

On Wednesday evening there ar
rived an old grey-bearded gentle
man who registered at the Santa Fe
as Frank Alling of Tacoma, Wash.
Forty-one years ago this same Frank
Alling, then young man of twenty
three, fed for his life from the In
dams to Eldorado Canyon, eighteen
miles north of SearchIight.
Mr.. Alling is now HON eward
bound from an extensive trip
through the East, and stopped off
here for the purpose of visiting the
scene of his carly adventures. His
stories of the palmy days at the Can
yon, when it look 62 days to reach
San Francisco, tbs base Of supplies,
are intensely interesting. He also
has great number of clippings
some of which, through the courtesy
of Mr. Alling, will appear in the
Searchlight. These write-ups will
describe the Canyon at the height OF
its prosperity-here's the tale OF its
abandonment:
The Indians, especially the Piutes
and Wallapais, had become so
troublesome that one after another
the various operating companies
had deem obliged to suspend. Final
ly the government announced that
the mail service would be discontin-
ued. The mail had been coming in
by the way of Salt Lake, and as it
required a guard of ten men it was
an expensive proposition. Alling,
as postmaster, felt obliged to await
the arrival of the last mail. When
the exit began there was some two
hundred men in camp. but detore
the mail arrived the postmaster was
the only person left and a lively
time he had of it, for four days and
nights he was attacked by the In
dams. The post Office was equipped
with a roof made of the metal bot
toms of army wagons ard so located
that it was impossible to hit the sides
when fired on from above. The
Indians had only arrows and as
Alling describes the attack; at was
like hail storm, the arrows would
snap off when they hit the roof and
roll down off the caves. The Indians
had their hair stiffened with pitch
and filled with pine cones, their
faces painted and hollered and XII
yied ineessently. They knew | was
alone and thought they had me sure
but my winchester held then at re-
spectacle distance and the third day
my ideas as to the extent of my official
duties modified somewhat, and when
darkness fell made a raft out OF
drift wood, loaded it with the bulk
of my belongings, including three
cans of arrow heads, which later |
presented to the Smithsonian lnstl-
tute and to the museum In San
Francisco, and embarked d own the
river. The Indians discovered my
escape and followed me down as far
as Cottonwood Island, but with the
width of the river between us | was
in no danger from them, and | had
no difficulty in making Fort Mo
have. "-"Searchlight" of Searchlight.

der both rivers is roughly placed at $2O 100000 more, and the rest is credited to the tunnels running under the city and connecting the the river tubes, and to the great powerhouse on which work is advancing in Long Island City.
 When the work is completed it will be possible for a passenger to ride from Jersey City to Long Island City with out coming into the light of day until the destination is reached.
 Astounding though the underground work planned may be, the overhead work outlined in connection with the extension of the system is thoroughly in keeping with it in point of magnitude. Four solid blocks between West Thirty first and West Thirty-third streets and Seventh and Ninth avenues are being wiped out to make way for the great railroad terminal which is to be erected In Long Island City another branch of the great work has been going forward.

the most conspicious among foreign creatures of the beetle kind getting their living as resident aliens of a very undesirable sort are the large oriental cockroaches, at present firmly estab- lished in most of the houses at the ''Zoo." These cockroaches are also said to be established at Deal. They are quite twice the size of the ordinary "blackbeetle" and correspondingly ac- tive and vorocious.
 Old furniture, and even old books have certain disadvantages incidental to the possibility of tteir harboring "stowawags," sometimes of the most objectionable character "Old panel ing, hoak in particular is the werry stuff to harbor such as then,' says MT. Punch's plasterer. in answer to the agi- tated questions of a member of a fam fly who had bought really nice old fashioned house." But such as them" are also found in nice old" Chippen- dale wardrobes, and bureaus, and cup boards occasionally. The woodworms, if less appalling to human sensibilities, are very mischievous, and readily mi- grate from one piece of furniture to an- other. Among the creatures which bore these holes is the death watch" which is said to make it's steady ticking by persistent hammering on the wood that it is excavating The true book worm" not the soft little mites which live in old paper parchments, and the like, but the destroyer of books, is very rare. It does not bore clean hole, but eats lon the flat, like a grub on a rose leaf
 Bird "stowaways" on ships are very numerous in the narrow parts of the Mediterranean during the emigration. They also frequently alight on ships when these are near the coast, being then very much exhausted and glad to find a rest for the soles of their feet" Golden-crested wrens sometimes de- scend in a storm on some North Sea smack on migration night, and even Ialight on steamers by day. It was con- wren was seen to fly from off the back of short-eared owl, when the latter came in from the sea and alighted near Ia jetty on the east coast The belief that some little birds come as stow aways" on the backs of larger ones was held in conference to the Canada geese by the North American Iidians, and by the Turks of Cyprus. who alleged the same of the crane and stork. That some birds must travel great distances on ships crossing the Atlantic seems very probable. The American bittern and two American cuckoos have been found in England, the first rather fre- quently. It is conjectured that they can only have crossed the ocean by travelling on the masts and yards of ships, probably steamers, as otherwise they must have died of starvation.- Spectator.

FOR EAST RIVER TUNNELS.
Vast Extent Of the Pennsylvania $
 New York Project

Vast Extent Of the Pennsylvania's
 New York Project
 Now that the State Supreme Court has overridden the refusal of property owners in Thirty-second, Thirty-thi and Thirty-fourth streets, between First and Second avenues, to sell 49 city lots to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to facilitate the construction of its tun- nels under the East river to Long Island city, says the New York Tribune, and now that commissioners have been ap- pointed to appraise the values of these lots. which the company will acquire under it's right of eminent domain, one of the last obstacles to the completion os the vast enterprise seems to have been removed. Already contracts have been let for the construction of two parallel tunnels under the North river and four parallel tunnels under the Fas. river
 After years of talk about travel be- meath two rivers at each side of the city after endless discussion as to it's feasibility, New York must now regard such travel as no longer open to dis cussion, and must, accordingly, watch the construction of these submarine ways as calmly as she watches the construction e the subway Though it will be years before the projected tun- nels will be completed the progressive New Yorker is already beginning to talk of taking "a run under the river,' instead of lover the river'
 Little does the average resident real ize the immense amount of work which must be done, the almost herculean tasks which must be performed and the vast sum os money which must be ex- pended before these runs under the river' actually take place.
 A conservative estimate places the total cost of the great project of the Pennsylvania railroad at something over $50,000OOO. The cost of acquiring and clearing land, excavating for and building the great terminal station planned for this city is placed at s25.- 00O 900. The cost of the tunnel work un-
