Ava Willing, a beauty of Philadelphia.
q was married to Mr.. Astor In Feb
ruary, 1891.
The first John Jacob Astor was n
financial success Of the first rank. In
1853 he was a merchant In New York.
who dealt In furs and pianos, certainly
a most singular combination. Five
years before that he was a poor immi-
grant working for 50 a week as a de-
livery boy to a German baker. In the
course Of time, attaining success as a
merchant, he began to put his money
Into land and, his prophesy of the
growth OF New York having been verl-
ned, he became wealthy. He was the
richest man in the city and worth the
then fabulous sum Of $1,OOO,OO0.
The two present heads Of the Astor
house are William Waldorf, who lives
In England, and John Jacob, OF New
York. To-day the combined Aston es-
tate is estimated at $3.50, 900, 1000, and
1t is said will reach 81, 200, OoO, 900 be-
fore many years pass. William Waldorf
Astor Is a keen-sighted business man,
prudent and energetic. John, Jacob has
beer interested in literature and scien-
dhc subjects, but in real estate matters
he has been quite content to follow
the lead of his more progressive cou-
sin. The English Astor Is worth about
three times as much as John Jacob.
Dut the latter manages to worry along
somehow on about 500 OOO 00O Tba
wealth Of the Astors is in land, and
a writer, William 8. Bridgman, says
their fortune does not depend, as most
OF the others do to a greater or less ex-
tent, upon the life Of any individual
or individuals. Industries may change
and fuctuate, railroads may be injured
by new competition or new inventions,
but nothing can stay the expansion of
the American metropolis; and it can.
not expand without paying an ever
greater tribute into the Astor Golfers.

MINING NOTES.

The Furnace Creek Copper company
has been incorporated by Patrick
Clark and his associates to handle the
copper properties in the Furnace creek
range, California, which were recent
ly discovered by Philip Creasor and
Fred Birney. The directors include
w. ]. G. Wakefield, Fred Birney and
Philip Creasor.
The announced purpose of Senator
W. A. Clark and his associates to ex-
tend the San Pedro, Los Angeles &
Salt Lake railroad into Bullfrog and
Goldfeld mining regions of Nevada is
to be carried out by means of the Las
Vegas & Tonopah Railroad company,
which filed articles of incorporation
with the secretary of state of Utah.
Steamer San Mateo has arrived at
Tacoma from Nome, bringing gold bull
lion valued at $215,9 14.
The feature of last week in mining
circles at Rossland, B. c., was the
announcement hat the LIE Roi has
started preparations for deepening it's
main five compartment shaft below
the 1850 foot level. The sinking of
this shaft will cost between $500 and
$125 a foot. The first train of ore
from the LIE Roi for the Trail smelter,
under its new three year contract, has
been sent.
superintendent A. B. w. Hodges of
the CRANKY Consolidated states that he
has finally been able to blow in one
OF the two new and larger furnaces
recently installed at the company's
smelling works at Grand Forks, but
was only able to do this by blowing
out one of the six smaller blast fur
naces. The only reason for not hav-
ing all eight furnaces in blast now is
the lack of power.
1t is reported that No. 6 tunnel of
the Morning mine at Mullan has en-
countered the You Like vein, and has
crosscut it for IL feet, in high grade
ore for the entire distance. The face
of the tunnel is still in shipping ore.
This is at a depth of over 1000 feet,
being 1000 feet below No. 5 tunnel.
Three miners at the Gladstone mine,
near Redding, CAL, were crushed to
death recently. The men, John Healy,
Darby Judge and w. Hayes, were at
work in the bottom of the double COM
partment shaft, $50 feet below the
main shaft of the tunnel when the cage
dropped back into the shaft and with
obstruction fell to the bottom, a
distance of 285 feet, crushing to an
indistinguishable mass the three men
working beneath, leaving Identification
possible only by the clothing the I'M
fortunates had been wearing. A coro-
ner's jury e~xonerated the company
from all blame, and fixed the blame
upon Engineer Stewart.

New York, Sept. 25.-The Coney ISL
and Mardi Gras parade was broken up
Saturday night by an explosion in two
manholes of the electric subway, re-
sulting in the injury of about a dozen
persons, five of whom were so seri-
ously hurt as to necessitate their re-
moval to the hospital.
The explosions occurred where the
crowd was densest, hurting columns of
flame 80 feet into the air, Horses in

QUEEN OF
Mrs. John Jacob Astor, an American
Woman, the Rage of London.

"hrbs Jonn jacob AstOr, an American
Woman, the Rage of London.
Many Americans, and especially
those who look with longing eyes to-
ward the top round of the social lad
der, are fond of saying in a knowing
and rather convincing manner that
Mrs. So and So, a wealthy leader In
society, has gained her place "by sheer
charm Of manner" and that Mrs.
Blank, a multi-millionaire's wife,
holds her envied position in the fash
ionabie world simply through ''grace
of character" or sweetness of disposi-
tlon." AS a matter of fact it often
seems to the everyday, common"
people that character" or personal
ity" has very, very, little to do with
the process of getting into" society.
Unlimited wealth, the knowledge of
how to spend it and a very ordinary
disposition make a much more popular
combination among SMART people
than do a manner Charming" "fas-
cinating," Sweet" "lovable," etc., ETC.,

lpled with but $1,000 or $4,000 a

coupled with but $1,000 or $4,000 a
year.
For some time the main topic of con.
v%ersation among New Workers and
Londoners who are high up" in social
life, and among many who are not, but
who would give a great deal to be,
has been the reign of Mrs. John Jacob
Astor in London. In a single season
this beautiful American has achieved
what some of the best-born women in
England have never done-the priv
ilege of entertaining his majesty the
King. She has all that can be desired
In the social world; there is nothing
more to be had; there are no more
worlds to conquerl
In the drawing-rooms of London the
name of Mrs. Astor has been on every
lip. No American woman has ever
done in n season what Mrs. Aston
has done. They have become well
known, popular and have even
achieved the acme Of success, but it
has taken years where it took Mrs.
Astor weeks.
Undoubtedly there are very few
women in society who possess the
beauty of Mrs. John Jacob Aston. She
Il tall and willowy, with masses of
soft, curling hair slightly tinged with
gray. Her chief loneliness lies In her
eyes, which are large and literally
glowing with a clear, soft radiance.
They attract great attention wherever
she goes and give her a si~ngularly
naive, artless look. Mrs. Astor's gowns
are part of her attraction, as she has
made them a study, and some of her
are marvels of beauty and
richness. The King was heard to re-
mark after having met Mrs. Astor at
a gathering of social lights, "She is the
best advertisement Worth aver hadl''
She seldom years a gown more than
twice. Her costumes all come from
"gay Paris and are of two distinct
styles. In the daytime she is stately
and decidedly 'clean cut in the Eng
llsh style Of tailor made, but at night
she is a radiant vision of beauty in
soft, clinging, sweeping frecks and
with her hair falling in loose waves
about her face. She possesses sets Of
to suit each costume which she
wears, whether intended for day or
evening. 1t Is said that Live and let
1--we" is Mrs. Astor's motto, which SEN
ought not to be unusual for a
woman whose husband is one Of the
wealthiest men.
Mrs John Jacob ABtor was Miss

ANOTHER INSURANCE SCANDAL
Policy Holders in Many Companies
Have Been Duped.

=
Chicago, Sept. STANDARDIZATION of
the affairs Of the Western Life Indem-
nifty company by q state examiner has
brought to light facts tending to show
that claims Of perhaps thousands of
policy holders in assessment companies
have been practically wiped out
through company manipulation. Ex-
aminer Lucius Fouts discovered that
no fewer than IS insurance companies
have terminated their existence by
merging into the Western Life Indem-
nifty company. THAT MEANS" said
the examiner, that the claims of the
policy holders of the original compan-
les have gone thousgh a sort of arasive
process, which leaves them practically
uninsured. although they are still pay
ing their premiums and have been do
ing so for years. This condition is not
particularly the fault of the Western
or other absorbing companies, for the
absorption is done according to law"

passenger train arrived at Eaton, the
c~annonball was not on the siding. In
stead OF waiting, the passenger train
continued on towaru huntington. run-
ming at a high rate o. speed from Ea-
ton to the mile post beyond at the rate
OF n mile in AZ seconds.
The engineer OF the cannonball had
seen the passenger train coming and
had stopped. Evidently the engineer
OF the passenger did not see the can
-nonball train, which was on a curve,
until he was within less than 100 feet
OF it, when he applied the
brakes, .ut too late to stop it's mo-
SEentum, and it crashed into the can
nonball train Wan terrific force, de-
mollsh1ng both engines and throwing
them into the oItch, rending the mail
car into splinters and demolishing foul
cars of the c%annonball and scattering
. their contents for SO feet on each side
Of the track.
The fireman of the passenger train
was pinned down by the engine and it
was four or five hours after the acct
dent before his body was dug out. The
mail clerk was killed and Alex La
Rose, engineer of the passenger train,
was fatally injured. The mailcar was
reduced to kindling wood.
A passenger, v. Nj. Harper, of De-
mar, Kan, was thrown through a win
dow OF one of the coaches and was
badly cut about the head and body. A

~siderably bruised and shaken up by
the force of the collision.

pital at Boise for treatment, but died
later.
Cars Smashed Into Fragments.
nailroad men state the smashup Of
the cars was the most complete they
had ever seen, the baggage and freight
Sars being reduced to kindling wood
and great pieces of iron n bolts be-
ing broken and twisted into indescrib-
able shapes. Barrels of whisky. that
were on the freight train were thrown
into the edge of the waters of Snake
river, more than $50 feet away. La
Rose was thrown by the force of the
collision over the right of way fence.
That dozens of passengers we're not
killed by the force of the collision
seems almost miraculous.
