E. j. Garvin, who has been in

To say that l am pleased with
the camp is putting it mildly.
To a man whose part it is to re-
cover the precious metals from the
ore, no camp is interesting to him
unless the values are there, and,
must say that in this respect !

ed at the high average value of the

visited in Buffalo Hump. There
is no longer question as to the
richness OF the camp and no trouble

the values. Before another yeal
the output of bullion will equal OF

TT ttering results obtained
by Mr.. Garvin with the new plan,
have aroused great interest in hi

of mine owners are figuring OF

New Mail Route

Bids will be received by the
post Office department for carrying
mails on star routes from Florence
by Knott to Resort and back three
tunes week. Between July 1st
and December 31st, eight hours is
allowed to make trip each way;
between January 1st and June
3Otb, thirteen hours is given.
Bond required $4,000.
With the establishment OF this
route there will be direct commun-

WEST POINTS ARCHITECTURE.
Aim Of the Designers to Preserve
Distinctiye Natural Eeatures

Aim Of the Designers to Preserve
Distinctive Natural Features.
In developing the new character Of,
West Point, it has been the aim of the
designers, both of the fundamental
plan and of the buildings, to preserve
the natural features which give to tho
site an extreme distinction of land
scape. To use their own language,
they seek to make the architectural
style harmonic with the majority of
the existing buildings, prolong rather
than revolutionize the spirit of the
place that has grown up through many
generations, emphasize rather than an
tagonize the picturesque natural sur
roundings of rocks, cliffs, mountains
and forests, and be capable of execu-
ton at the smallest cost consistent
with the monumental Importance Of
the work" AS to the last considera-
ton, the style chosen peculiarly meets
the requirements Of economy, for it
adapts itself most fiexibly to existing
conditions of site, whereas, in a more
formal style, the site has very largely
to be adapted to be architecture.
The ground plan blends the pictur-
osque irregularity called for by land
scape conditions of exceptional wild
ness with the formality of logical re-
lations among detached groups OF
buildings that monumentally make q
complete ensemble. Hence there is a
system of roads that follow the topo
graphical contours in natural lines
taking the easiest grades and most
convenient routes to the points sought
Again, among the individual buildings
and separating the several structural
groups, there are long, straight ave
nues, symmetrical plazas and forma
open spaces. From these the visito
will enjoy a succession of splendid
vistas and stately effects of monumen
tai architecture, the sites so studied
as to show each odifice at it's best
Century.

The people of India do not use scare
crows to keep the birds away from
their fields; they use far more effect

matched cottage, and above that an
open upper story with matched roof,

high vantage point coolies keep watch
and brighten away the birds with GU
rious, piercing cries. During the sea-
son the families of the coolies live in
the hut below, and the men take turn

capable, useful, honest and is willing
to carry out the British policy he is
promoted, honored and admired. Hence
Lord Cromer has his finger upon every
bureau and upon every clerk of every
department of the Egyptian govern
ment and every wire runs into his
house. This supervision begins with
the Khedive himself, who has his lad
wiser" in the person of an aid-de-
camp, and appreciates the Importance
of following the counsel he gives. If
Abbas Hilmi II. should decline to obey
his adviser or II he should attempt
to guide unaided the government OF
which he is the titular head, he would
be quietly reminded that there are
heirs to the throne. He is therefore
compelled-to accept the situation which
continues as it existed when he came
to the throne in 1892, and is likely to
continue indefinitely.
Englishmen are careful to explain
that they have not annexed Egypt;
that there is no protectorate. and that
no official tie exists between the two
governments. The word occupation
is used to describe a condition that has
existed since 1882, and in theory Great
Britain has never attempted TO legalize
her position in Egypt. Her army is
there theoretically at the request of
the Khedive to preserve the peace and
protect his throne. but for twenty years
Egypt has been actually governed from
London, and more absolutely than any
British colony. Lord Cromer has
greater authority than any of the vice
roys or governors of Australia, Can
ada, India or any other colony.
The other powers Of Europe accept
the situation for financial reasons, be-
cause the interests of their subjects In
the Egyptian debt can best be served
that way. They are allowed represen
tatlon in the treasury department and
in the courts, and England assumes the
rest of the responsibility.

A SHARK ON BOARD.



Among the incidents OF shark fish
ing narrated by J. f. Keane is the fol-
lowing, which occurred in a small
bark on the home voyage from India.
shark was sighted astern, and the
second mate Immediately lowered a
hook for the big fish. In less than
minute he had secured the shark, and
with the aid of the man at the wheel,
had landed it, "a gyrating, founder
ing. somersaulting, slapping and bang
ing creature on the monkey poop"
Gratings, coils of rope, man at the
wheel, second mate, and everything
not built into the ship were slashed
round in mad tumble. The captain
came on deck filed with wrath
'I'll soon run him for'ardw cried
the mate, jumping down from his
perch on the poop. His first haul on
the rope produced an ominous snap
ping of the sharks jaws. The next
pull brought writhe of the body that
so damned the shark into the narrow
passage that the second mates only
prospect of moving the fish was to take
hold of it bodily and attempt to turn
II round.
Then ensued a hand-to-fin contest
The mans first attempt to carry his
antagonist bodily across the ropes
turned out abortive. In less than ter
seconds the shark had dashed him into
mass of red paint just laid on
rubbed him across the vermilion
knocked him among the blues, ant
then wiped him all over about ter
square yards of the white side of the
house and bulwarks, also newly
painted.
A scientific attempt to collar til,
shark by the tail was met with 1
sounding smack across the seconC
mates face. Then followed a heels
overhead splashing, dashing suuggl'
which was sustained on both side
with fury. AT one time both combat
ants appeared to be hooked by tn
jaws to the same hook.
How the man kept his leg or arr
out of the sharks mouth no one ca
explain. Foot by foot, strainins
springing up and down, and tyin
knots in themselves. they came towar
the end of the passage; and when a
last they reached the open deck tn
one had become almost indistinguisl
able from the other, so similarly an
completely were they besmirched wit
combinations and shades of the V;
rious colors among which they ha
wallowed and fought.
The man conquered. The captain
wrath had given way to roars of laugh
ter The dead shark was thrown owe
board. and the hero of the adventuI
was ordered to scrape every particle
the spoiled paint off and repaint
with his own hands.
