A WONDERFUL. DAM.

H. Rider Haggard writes i'll the
London Mail that the great Nile dam
at Aasouan is "a work of which The
builders of the pyramids would have
been proud" The massive, granite
wall which forms the dam is over
1000 yards in length and crosses the
Nile from side to side. On the crest
of it, twenty-six feet wide, runs a
tramway along which the visitor,
seated On a rough trolley, is propelled
at speed by Arabs. Hence to the
north he sees a great extent of shin
Ing rocks, between which the water
runs in channels, and to the south a
vast lake that in some places attains
a depth of nearly 200 feet
This is the reservoir, and all the
weight of it and of the Nile for the
$50 miles or so that is held up is
pressing against the wall on which
he stands. In this wall are $50
slutces worked by machinery, which
are sufficient to deal with every con-
cdtvable contingency of flood. Tho
dam and reservoir cost S15,o000o.
The flood Nile attains it's height at
Assouan about Sept. 5, when the aver
age maximum discharge is 100000 900
tons per diem. Thenceforth 1T slows
dawn until the following June /, when
the average minimum discharge is
S5,oo0000 tons per diem. Now, the
flood crop Of corn in Upper Ecypt.
which is mainly affected by this reser-
yoir, is reaped about d-December,
after which the one-crop land hither-
to lay dormant till the next flood.
Then it is that the Assouan dam full
fils its magnificent purpose. Thus,
from June to July 10, when the
river is naturally at its lowest. the
hefd-up water is let ot& gradually
through the sluices. with the result
that the normal aow at that period
is doubled.

Among financial leaders a coniden

Among financial leaders a confident
undertone prevails. says Banker
Clews. The first sign of real inn
provement Is a good demand for Sc
curities from investors. This is still
in evidence in regard to bonds, and as
soon as doubts regarding the elections,
the crops and the war are cleared up
the stock market Is likely to exhibit
increasing activity and strength. Cen
orally speaking, the summer is a pc
ROD of quiet, owing to the absence of
many operators on vacations, etc, but
the cable and the telegraph bring all
in easy communication when condi-
lions warrant IF circumstances ia

widening stock market, though New
York is hardly likely ito finance a Wig
orous bull campaign unless warranted

There is more truth than poetry in
the following taken. from Appeal to
Reason. "a bandit chief Of Morocco
captured an American and British
subject, and demands for their safe
return a bounty of several thousand
dollars. The incident has become in
ternational. The United States has
dispatched a fleet of war vessels to
the Mediterranean sea, at an expense
of several million dollars. The q. s.
is touchy about looking after its sub
jects in foreign ports, but pays abso-
lutely no attention to the capture and
confinement of its own subjects in
bull pens in Colorado. If Meyer was
confined in a bull pen in Morocco you
would see strenuous Teddy bestirring

WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 1904.

Last year the United States Steel
corporation employed 10000 men,
says an exchange. The number now
on the payrolls is said to be less than
100000 and many Of them are only
working on part time scale. 1t is
the plan of the company to distribute
its work among as many employees as
possible. The work now being done
would not furnish full time employ
ment, it is estimated, to 100000 men.
The cotton mills in New England are
also working on part time to a large
extent, and some Of them have shut
down altogether. In Lowell, Mass
alone there are 10000 idle operatives

"a SUNDAY MAGAzI
RAISULI, THE BANDIT

t,ce. The boldest deed of Raisuli, holder
even than the kidnapping OF Perdicarls
and his son-n-law. was the wavlaying of
Walter Harris, and the holding of him
for ransom. 1t was a direct defiance to
the Young Sultan of Morocco. for Harris
and ADD ul Azziz are warm personal
friends,
Harris home is at the foot of the hills
where the FANS people live. 1t is on
the sea-shore, and was formerly the
palace of prince. Harris started from
his home to meet a party OF visiting
noblemen at the Hotel Cecil in Tangier
one evening in August of last year,
Raisuli and his band swept upon him,
overpowered the three servants with
him. and Harris found himself hopelessly
a captive He was taken to hut about
thirty miles from the city. At first the
EngliShman thought to awe the bandit
with the threats of the fate that would
come to HIM, and the retributiOn that
would fall from the Sultans forces.
Ralsuli laughed at it. For time
Harris views were shared by Sir Arthur
Nicholson, the British Minister; but
as time went on and the Sultan's search
ing parties returned only with stories of
VAIN searches or of repulses by the
bandits anxiety became keen.

Moorish soldiers to the hills. and saw
them devastate two whole villages, burn

the savage company returned along the

husband returned to her. Meanwhile
Harris, in captivity lasting almost two
months. had lost heart, and then came
the unbearable experience that he was

hut one night bearing headless body.
He threw it on the floor. He gave

The recent great strike in the
Guggenheim's property at Leadyille
estimated by some to be valued as
$l20, 900, 900, is still the talk of
Colorado. When it is remembered
that the original Guggenheim in
vestment in Leadvillle was only
$5 900, and that in barely a quarter
of a century ago the profits of min
ing and smelling have caused the
$1,000 to grow until the lowest esti-
mate the value of the Guggenheim
holdings is at least $50, 100000, one
gets a good idea OF what the legiti-
mate profits of mining may some
times be.
The largest piece of gold yet
found was worth nearly $3.50, 600. 1t
was taken from Dyer & Haltman's
claim, Hill End, New South Wales,
May 10, 1872. Its weight was a
little more than GAO pounds; height
A feet inches; width 8 feet 2 inches
thickness, 4 inches; value $148, 900.
1t was found imbedded in thick
wall of blue slate, at a depth of $50
feet from the surface.

unclaimed money to the amount of
$98, ,I35.

News-A few weeks ago a very
rich carload of ore from Tonopah
laid over iu the Carson City yards
enroute for Reno. The owners were
fearful that some of its precious
contents would be removed on the
road and SO sent two gun fighters
with the precious ore. These men
were armed to the teeth and had
the appearance of westener in the
Wild West show. They left the car
a few minutes in this city during
the evening aud after taking drink
at nearby bar returned. They
approached the car and thought they
saw the door open. Instead OF TAX
ing their trusty guns in hand and
preparing to make sieves OF the
bodies of the possible robbers, they
Immediately ran up town looking
for the Constable. 1t CHANGED that
the door of the car was not open
and it is probably fortunate thing
for the Tonopah owners that then
armed guard was not called on ior
actual service.
