homes.

BARON ALPHoNSE DE RoTHsCHILD.
The news of the baron's death
caused a deep impression among finan-
clers generally. 1t was said that his
death would probably momentarily
Influence the extensive interests In
which the house is concerned that 1t
would not have lasting effect on the
markets.
The deceased, who was born in 1927,
will be succeeded as head fthe Paris
banking house by Baron Lambert de
tothschild of Brussels, whose busi-
ness capacity has earned him a world
wide reputation.
The burial of Baron Alphonse will
be most simple according to the strict
rule of the Rothschild family, includ-
Ing a plain coffin without mourning
tributes. The funeral, the date OF
which has not yet been fixed, will be
the occasion Of notable tribute OF
respect.
A member Of a French-AmeTican
banking house said: Baron Alphonse
was the leading spirit Of the Roths-
childs in their relations with practical
ly all the governments Of Europe. Be-
sides the colossal task Of financing
the indemnity which France paid to
Germany after the Franco-German
war Of 1901 he actively carried on
relations with other governments. In
Italy these included both the govern
ment and the vatican finances. The
house also has large interests In Spain,
largely controls Austria's railroad de-
velopment and held considerable parts
Of all the old Russian loan issues. The
house, however, has not exercised
controlling influence In the new Rus
sian loan.
The large industrial interests of the
house In Russia include the petroleum
fields Of Baku. The house has also had
considerable dealings with American
securities through the Belmonts, ].
Plerpont Morgan and John w. Gates,
including Louisville & Nashville and
the Atlantic Coast line transactions
and also has extensive interests in
mines in California"
Baron Alphonse was a member Of
the Academy Of Fine Arts, a member
Of the French institute, and a COM
mander Of the Legion Of Honor. He
leaves two children, Baron Edouard
and Baroness Beatrix. He has two
surviving brothers, Baron Gustav and
Baron Edmond.

Straight goods, lemcnades and high

Bullfrog at metropolis rates. BARRIERS are
shaving with real, lather and baths are
common everyday luxury with the
miners of that prosperous Nevada mining
center. \ week ago water was selling In
Bullfrog at S2 80 and 50 a barrel; miners
had to walk seven miles to get bath,
and dumb beasts were lucky II they got
one good drink day. Water was more
expensive than whisky at the bars. where
patron would as soon ask for a lemon
ade as he would for the diamond stud IN

On Sunday the new water company,
which has just completed a twelve-mile
Pipe line. turned on the fluid. and Bull
frogs populace turned itself loose. Baths
and drinks of water were the order or
the day, ard a great day 1t was. As the
result Of the important innovation water
is now selling for a cent a gallon in the
mining town and the price of drinks has
faded to the bit mark.
II. II. Clark general manager Of the
BullfIog Mining Company and the pro
moter of the telegraph and telephone sys-
TENS and ether enterprises of BHnfrog,
arrived here yesterday from Nevada and
is staying at the Palace. 1t is mainly
through his energy that water system
was provided for the mining town. with
Il daily flow of nearly 100000 gallons
Anticipating a great waste of water.
Clark and his associates conceived the
idea of establishing a big swimming
tank probably the only one in a Western
mining camp, where the traveller after
long and hot ride, may find unexpected
comfort on his arrival in BullfTog.
An ice plant is about to be started. and
the next enterprise that Clark will estab-
lish in the town will be a smeIter at his
mine. His present visit to San Francisco
