Beckolith a New Mineral.

DR.. Morosiewicz, professor of min
eralogy at the University of Crakow,
announced at the general meeting of
the Neurological society of Vienna
recently that he has discovered a new
mineral, to which he has given the
name of Beckolith, in honor of the
Vienna mineralogist, Prof. Frederick
Beck. He asserts that it does not cor
respond to any of the mineral COM
binations so far known. but resembles
mostly combinaN)ns of garnet, hay
ing similar regular crystals, and con-
tains many rare earths, which form
rs per cent. of its volume. The chief
components are cero, lanthano, and
didymo oxides and it may be of use
for the manufacture of chemical prod
ucts, especially for the light industry.
The discovery was made during a
scientific exploration in southern Rus
sia. The rock in which 1t was found
Is called marinpolith

THE OREGON PONY. .
STORY OF FIRST LOCOMOTIVE
EVER USED IN STATE.
The Progress of Invention Has Made
the Old Engine Back Number,
But in Its Day 1t Was
Great Worker.

Portland, Outstanding In the Ma
chiuery, Electricity and Transports
ton building at the Portland Lewis
and Clark exposition is a tiny locomo-
tive, little larger than an automobile
The four wheels of the locomotive APP
pear slightly larger than barrel hoops,
the boiler is about as big as an APP
pie barrel, and the whole engine is
only - feet long.
This little engine, which bears the
title Oregon Pony, was the first loco
motive used in oregon. The pony, as
almost every visitor takes occasion to
remark, IS not SO much to look at"
But in its day it was a great engine
to work and its history is so entan-
gled with the history of early days
In Oregon as to make it worthy of
more than passing attention.
The oregon Pony was born in the
year 1861 at San Francisco, and i'm
Eediately entered upon it's life labors,
Eoing into commission as a portage
connecting steamboats, on the Colum-
bia river at a place where for seven
miles the rapids made it impossible
for boats to pass.
II was the discovery of gold at
Canyon City, Ore, that made the pony
n necessary factor in western trans
portation, and the story of that discov-
cry in itself forms an interesting tale
that few people know.
At about the time of the outbreak
of the civil war party of emigrants,
making their weary way over the
mountains, crossed a stream which led
into a lake. In the bed of the stream
they found yellow metal. which,
they discovered, could be fiattened out
into a thin sheet by laying a chunk of
it on a wagon wheel and pounding 1t

ular adventurer and swindler the world
has ever known. He came into possess
! sion of the title of count, 100000 acres Of
land and S5,000,00 when he was % years
old. His entire fortune was dissipated
within three years after his succession
! to the family estates. Then began his
surprising career. He was obliged to
resign his commission in the Russian
army and drifted to Paris, where his
tation as a spendthrift succeeded in
gaining for him access into the best
families.
The count set up a magnificent es-
tablishment on the Boulevard des Ital-
lens, though he hadn't penny of ready
money. He earned the wherewithal
easily at cards from his aristocratic
| friends.
Another method of raising money
was original with Count Nicholas. He
contrived to hire himself out as spy
| for four vernments-Russia, Ger
many, Austria and Spain, and was paid
enormous fees by each for sending them
well written inventions of his own
| imagination. He married the beautiful
| young countess de Lautrec. daughter
of wealthy French nobleman, and ran
/ through her fortune in a short time.
Later she obtained divorce. His early
swindling operations covered Paris,
Berlin, Rome, Vienna and Madrid.
| The counts most daring exploit was
his attempt, which nearly succeeded,
to gain possession of the Bulgarian
/ throne. He completely fooled STAN
buloff, the great Balkan statesman, and
/ was at Constantinople to secure the
sultan's consent to his attempt on the
throne, when he was kidnapped by Rus
sian detectives for his alleged spying
| operations. Twice Count Nicholas es-
capped from Siberia He went to China,
Japan and landed at San Francisco.
His bogus financial schemes covered
wide territory in the United States and
Canada and he served several terms in
various prisons. He fought as an Amer
lean volunteer in the war with Spain,
under an assumed name
| Later, in Chicago, he worked In turn
as waiter, billiard marker, cabman,
street car conductor and on the cler-
| ical staff of large export house. The
! las, heard of him was in 1908, when
he vas on his way back to Siberia for
the third time, having been extradited

Dean of Diplomatic Corpse
in turn by Holleben, the German, and
Cassini, the Russian ambassador.
To be dean is an honor highly cher
ished by the diplomats. Precedence is
everything in official life. On state oc.
casions it is the dean who leads the
glittering procession of the foreign
representatives. At social events the
dean and his wife take the lead. He
is the spokesman of the diplomats,
their chief in all matters. To follow
him are the ambassadors, ministers
and attaches of 80 countries stationed
in this city.
The Italian ambassador and his ac-
complished wife are among the most
popular members of society here.
They like to entertain, and invitations
to affairs at the embassy always meet
with eager response.
incidentally, the change in the lead
little more agreeable for Kogoro Taxa
hira, the Japanese minister. Natural
ly, there has not been any great de-
gree of cordiality between Takahira
and Cassini. While the latter was
dean, however, the Japanese was
obliged to defer to him in some mat
tiers of formality, and it was a duty
far removed from pleasure. With a
leader from beyond the war zone, the
legation of Japan will be free from
embarrassment.

with a hammer. The emigrants were
interested and left a blue bucket to
mark the place where they had picked
up the yellow metal and when they
met some miners they told of their
find. The search for the blue bucket
began in a hurry. The bucket never
was found, but the men who went in
search of it found other streams as
rich as the one which the bucket had
been left to mark. Certain holdings
there are named the Blue Bucket
mines.
Canyon City has been called "the
last stand of the Argonauts" Thither
fiocked the 'forty-niners" from Cali

sought the rainbow's end in many
places. The forty miners" made the
trip overland but when the news Of
the new find reached San Francisco
hundreds of people set sail from the
city for the north in the sailing YES
sells that then piled the Pacific coast
The ships brought the gold seekers
to Portland, then a struggling town Of
about 5000 inhabitants.
Beyond Portland ocean vessels
could not sail and Immediately the
Oregon Navigation company was
formed to put in commission on the
upper Columbia steamboats, of light
draft which could navigate the stream
The company built steamboats, to carry
passengers and freight from Portland
TO the Cascades, a little more than
half way TO The Dalles, which point
was then, and still is, the head Of
navigation. and other boats to ply the
water above the Cascades. Between
the end Of one steamship run and the
beginning of the other was a stretch
OF seven miles Of rapids. where no
steamboats, could navigate on account
Of the rocks which blocked the chan
mel.
AT first the steamboat company built
a wagon road and made the portage
of gold seekers and their goods by
team But the road was a poor one,
and the rains washed part of it away
every little while The difficulty was
overcome temporarily by building a
track with oak rails over which was
laid a thin covering of strap iron.
And it was for service on this track
! that the pony was built.
The pony was found to be the very
thing needed. The engine was not too
| heavy for the rails, and was so small
that she took the curves without diff
| iculty; and she could make the seven
miles in an hour, which was not at
all bad The first run was made on
May 10, 1862, and for two years the
faithful pony ran up and down with
her load Of passengers and freight.
BY the end of this period the iron rails
from the east had arrived and been
| put in place, and new engine. bigger
and stronger, took the place of the
pony. The pony being now OF no
use, vas sold to David Hewes of San
Francisco, for $1,000, end entered
upon a prosaic existence, hauling sand
to fl up San Francisco bay. In 1879
1.-The pony was retired from active serv-
Ice. Mr. Hewes agreed TO send the
pony to the Lewis and Clark exposi-
tion, and stipulated that after the close
OF the fair the engine was to be given
to the state of Oregon. This will be
done.
