Mountains of Borax Worth Billions

In an article on the resources of Ne vada and the Death Valley region, a western paper says that Mount Blanc, approximately l,500 feet high and two miles in diameter, is a mass of pure borax. It is the property of one man. Frank M. Smith of Oakland owns this mountain absolutely, and thereby con trols the visible supply of borax in the world. The market value of this borax where it lies is something more than $l00 ton. Experts estimate that the mountain has at least 3,000,000,000 tons of borax in it.
 This mountain, standing at the north end of the Funeral range, within a stones throw of Death valley, says the writer, "makes Smith easily the richest man in the world, from point of re- sources. But this borax deposit is merely lining for pot of gold that rests in the Funeral range. '-Balti- more Sun.

MARKET CLOSED
 MUCH STRONGER
Market Is Without Any Special Feature Bank Statement Was Better than Expected-Gradual Rising Market Is Expected for Two Months.
(By I. N. Kinsev)

GLOBE, April 27.-Walker Brothers of New York say: Market ruled dull and featureless until shortly before the close, when prices briskly moved up- ward under leadership of Union Pacific and Reading. Although there was noth- ing particularly encouraging in the bank statement, it was better than had been generally expected While market has been almost entirely without fea- ture the past week, yet it has appear. ance of being well sold out and has advanced easily on considerable buying Market will probably continue dull dur ing the coming week and stocks look like purchase on recessions.
 Paine of Boston says: Market was without any special feature. Every one seems to be looking on and doing nothing All the time, however, money is working easier and fear of general business depression seems to be growing less. Big dry goods people report rec ord breaking business with contracts at top prices running into July, 1908. Look for gradually rising market for two months.

Bears Try to Board Train

Two big black bears trying to board the eastbound Pennsylvania limited, due here at 10 clock this morning, caused excitement among the passen- gers and crew. The train was running between Portage and Bens creek on the summit of the Alleghenies, when the stenographer, John McEllinen, discov- cred the bears in pursuit. Passengers watched the race from the rear of the observation car.
 One bear ran along the westbound track, while the other took the east bound track. At curve in the road the latter attempted to leap on the train, but missed the observation plat form. The bears kept up the chase for nearly two miles and were then lost to sight in the woods.
 Walter Wynecoop, brakeman, no ticed the same bears following the linn tied several weeks ago. At that time the pair broke up tramps' camp which had ben thriving at Kittanning Point during the winter.-Altoona correspon. dence to Pittsburg Dispatch.

GLOBE, April 27.-Little can be said of the stock market today in view of the general dullness. Some of the rail road stocks showed a little activity, most of them, however, showed sag ging tendency to the close. The general belief is that between now and June l we shall have better prices, but we would take advantage of every oppor- tunity to take profits and reduce lines of stocks that have not the backing of substantial earnings. These should be accumulated and held for good rise
 Money is easy in both New York and Boston, and we hear of various pools which are about to start to make a market in their specialties. This is mostly in railroad stocks, and we may look for Union Pacific and Southern Pa cific selling a good deal higher.

All the Parts Are hut the Expression

To one who has never studied the
mechanism of watch its handspring
or the balance wheel is mere piece Of
metal. He may have looked at the face
of the watch, and while he admireS the
motions of its hands and the time it
keeps he may have wondered in idle
amaZement as to the character Of the
machinery which is concealed within.

part separately, and he will recognize
neither design nor adaptation nor rela-
ton between them, but put them to-
gcther, set them to work, point out the
Offices of each spring, wheel and cog.
explain their movements and then
show him the result. Now he perceives
that it is all one design; that, nOtwith-
standing the number of parts, tlieir di-
verse forms and various Offices and the
agents concerned, the whole piece is Of
one idea. He now rightly concludes
that when the handspring was fashion
ed and tempered it's relation 10 all the
other parts must have been considered;
that the cogs on this wheel are cut and
regulated-adapted-to the ratchets on
that, etc., and his final conclusion will
be that such Z piece OF mechanism
could not have been produced by
chance, for the adaptation Of the parts
is such as to show it 10 be according to
design and obedient 10 the will Of one
intelligence.
