CONCERNING MANHATTAN.

Manhattan lies on a we'll Travelled
road which has been used since 1868
all the machinery and supplies from
Sacramento, CAL, to Belmont, New,
having been transported ove it by
mule team. Belmont is about fifteen
miles from Manhattan. The country
was never p~rospected for gold. Jack
Humphrey, the original locator of the
April Fool group, and likewise the
discoverer of the mineral zone, de-
clares that but for the fact that he
saw free gold in the rock he hammer
ed from an outcropping ledge on the
April Fool claim, he would never
have tarried a moment.
Telephone poles are being erected
along the road from Tonopah. Early
telephone communication is assured.
Ground space in the canyon on which
the town is located Is at q big prem
ium. About 1900 people are here.
The influx is from 80 to 100 per day.
A postmaster has been appointed and
o building to house the new postofice
will be erected by public subscription
within a fortnight. The altitude here
is 1900 feet. Wood grows on the hill
side and can be had at "a per cord.
Water is developed at 100 feet.
Choice town lots which sold a week
ago for $3.50 are selling to-day for
80 900. A restaurant doing business
day and night is averaging 800 a day
gross receipts. There are not yet SUI
ficient sleeping accommodations to go

 You take Rameses the Great. He Is regarded as perhaps the king pin of all the rulers during Egypts long period of national splendor. Have you ever heard any one say a word in criti- cism of Rameses' fiscal policy, his treatment of the rebate system, man agement of the Senate, or his social re- lations with the dark emissaries that came up from Egypt? No! Every one has a good word for Rameses The writers of ancient history extol him, and the guide books print his name in big black letters, and the travellers to Egypt gather about his glass covered coffin in the Gizeh Museum at Cairo and try to trace noble lineaments in the shrunken features. They sigh over his departure and look down at him mourn fully, with their hats in their hands, as if they had lost him this spring. in stead of 3,164 years ago this spring. They say:-"Well, he certainly was grand character and it's too bad we haven't got some rulers of his cauore nowadays"
 It is not my desire to attack Rameses, but I feel 1t my duty to submit to stu dents of history and archaeologists very interesting papyrus which came Into my possession at Luxor. If this document is accepted as authentic and the statements are believed, then 1t would appear that Rameses was the champion advertiser of ancient times If Rameses were alive today he would own all the billboards in America.

 needs the money. Suppose that a sus-
 picious character should arrive in an
 American city and the chief of police
 sent out detective to shadow him
 and see that he did not blow open any safes or crawl into any second stories. The detective, having followed the sus- pect all day, approaches him at night fall and says.

ed. For instance, although the copper coins are in common use among the natives. and in the cheaper shops the prices are usually reckoned In mil liemes, 1t is almost impossible for a traveller to get any of these copper coins because the natives want him to bestow his gratiuties in piasters. A milleme Is worth one-half cent, and then the millieme is further subdivid- ed into fractional coins. some of which are about the size of the mustard seed and worth about as much as a share of mining stock.
 Egyptian money Is very easily un- derstood by Americans. The plaster is the same as our five-cent piece or nickel Tho silver five plaster piece resembles our quarter and has the same value The ten plaster piece is the same as our half dollar. The 100 pias- ter bill is worth five dollars. Inas- much as many of the prices sound large and important when quoted in piasters. the dealers have learned to demand English pounds sterling or American dollars. That is, they name their first | prices in sovereigns and dollars and then gradually work down to piasters.

 The old city of Thebes was a huge and hustling metropolis, surrounded by a high wall of a hundred gates, with countless regiments of soldiers march ing out to conquer distant lands and bring back slaves in little patches of s0.000 or so. This was along about 2,000 B. c. The city began to lose some of its importance a few centuries be- fore the Christian era and dwindled in size until twenty years ago 1t was a mere village of huts nestling in the shade of the great temples. Then the tourist travel set in very heavily, and today Luxor is a hustling city with large hotels and fancy shops and a general air of prosperity. The magni- fcient temple of Luxor Is in the very heart of the new city. The rambling temple of Karnak is a short donkey ride to the north and across the river some three miles to the west; there are more temples and shattered statues and the wonderful tonbs of the kings. In olden days there was broad avenue leading north to Karnaak and thence west to the valley in the desert, where the Kings were DuTleQt ana tnlS DOule- yard was guarded on either side, for the entire distance, by huge recumbent Sphinxes carved out of garnet. Can you imagine a double row of gigantic figures crouched on each side of the street and about twenty feet apart all the way up Broadway to Central Park and then through the Park to Riverside Drive and up the drive to the distant suburbs? If so. you will understand to what an extent these old rulers went in" for sphinxes. Labor cost nothing and time did not count for any thing and if a king wished to build an avenue of sphinxes leading to his private temple or tomb all he had to do was to give the word.
 AS soon as king mounted the throne he began making his funeral prepar ations, and ordered the entire staff of stone cutters to chisel out hier- oglyphs explaining that he was great and good and just, and that he never

The ordinary 150 pound mortal edging his way through the corridors and under the vast shadows of these overwhelming uplifts of masonry feels about as large and as important as a flea.
 Everywhere about these temples there are uniformed guards whose duty 1t is to protect the remains against the van dal and the relic hunter The guard follows a few feet behind you as you roam through the many acres of top bling ruin. He is afraid that you will steal something. Inasmuch as the smallest fragment of one of these huge statutes, or obelisks, would weigh probably six hundred pounds, we felt that be was not Justified in suspecting us.

 But when he arrives at Luxor and rambles among the elephantine ruins and sits in the deep cool shade of temples that had been standing a good many centuries before any one thought of laying out the Forum in Rome he will begin to understand how every thing else in the world is comparative ly hot from the griddle. One day we were in the shop of Mouhammed Mou- hassib, in Luxor, and the old antiquar- ian reached under the counter and lug ged out a mummy The body was well preserved, and the embalming cloth in which 1t was wrapped and cross wrapped still retained a definite tex ture.

Until we arrived at Luxor we did not know the total meaning of the word "old" The ruins which are the stock in trade of this ancient City of Thehes date so far back into the dimness or Nowhere that all the other antiquities of earth seem as fresh and recent as a morning newspaper.
 "OId" is merely a relative term, after all I remember in my native town we small boys used to gaze in reverent awe at court house that was actually built before the civil war. We would look up at that weather beaten frame structure, two stories high, with square bird cage on top of 1t, and to us 1t had all the historic interest of a medieval castle Later in Chicago when the special writer on the newspa- per ran short of topics he would dish up an illustrated story on the oldest building in town.
