JOHN w. GATES AND SOME OF HIS DIVERSIONS

Following out his theory, Mr.. Gates
always prefers TO play for the big
stakes. He likes to keep on raising the
limit. q:
Not long ago, 1t is related, Mr..
Gates went to Saratoga and visited
the Garfield gambling house.
What's the iimit?' he inquired.
tsThe roof" replied Garfield, who
knew Gates.
Faro was the game. Gates was game
too. He spent the evening at the table,
smoking and smiling, lost $685. 900, at
the rate Of 800 minute, and remark
ed that he was sorry he hadn't had d
chance to lose more. The roof was too
Z low.
Scarcely a state In the Union or q
country abroad IS without Its localities
which abound In stories Of MIR. Gates
gambling exploits. The farm near Tur-
ner Junction, HI, where he was born
and brought up furnishes the first in
the series. Bet you 10 cents said
fourteen-year-old Johnny Gates to q
playmate, that I can jump on the
roof Of the barn into the branches OF

How He Won His First Bet.
The boy took the bet, and johnny
took the jump. He landed safely and
collected the 10 cents He has been
collecting OF losing stakes ever since.

by the great slump Of last March and

! SO b
much he could get per load. He con-
stracted for the wood, cut It himself
with the aid OF hired hand, peddled
It around and made profit Of $1,000.
With that he opened little hardware
and grain store at Turner junction.
Just about that time there came into
the market a commodity that has had
much to do with changing conditions
IN the great west and southwest
Somebody invented barbed wire. Young
Gates at once saw Its possibilities in
the fencing Of the prairies and the
plains. where timber fence material
was scarce. NJ
Just here it may be in order to In
sert the statement that the present
steel trust, officially known as the Unit
I'd States Steel corporation, Is an out
growth Of Gates divination in the
natter Of barbed wire. 3
Won Bet From Cowboys.
Gates went to Isaac 4. Elwood Of
Chicago who was manufacturing the
new wire, and got a job as travelling
salesman He made for San Antonio,
Tex, where he bet all the money he
had that he could build fence Of wire
that would turn any Texas steer that
loped the plains The cowboys took
his bet. Gates built a barbed wire
corral In one of the plazas Of the city,
borrowed twenty steers, turned them
in and dared the COW punchers to run
them out. He won his bet and sold so
much barbed wire that his little sal
airy Of 500 month looked like lead
nickel with hole In it.
II Drummer Gates returned to Manu-
facturer Elwood and demanded that he
be taken into the firm. But Elwood
had patents on barbed wire and was
deaf on the side next to Gates. The
latter threw up his job and took
chances. He had studied the game.
He didn't believe that the patents
would hold. Going to st. Louis, he
Induced a friend to embark with him
In the manufacture Of barbed wire.
The two started a little plant. Gates
went out on the road and sold the
product. Money was coming in rap
Idly.
Elwood ran down to Missouri and
secured an injunction against the firm
on the ground Of alleged infringement.
That night Gates loaded his factory
on wagons and crossed over the Eals
bridge Into the state Of Illinois, where
he continued the manufacture Of barb
ed wire. At last the courts declared
the patents invalid. 80 that anybody
might take whack at the business.
SO many factories sprang up that aft
er q few years Gates concluded that
he would go into the consolidation
business The result was the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire company, which
still later, about six years ago, was
merged into the billion dollar steel
trust of today.
Gates, 1t Is said, first suggested that
mighty merger. He unfolded his idea
to James ]. Hill Mr.. Hill told J. P.
Morgan. Mr. Morgan sent for John

standstfll. The npshot was that Car
negie, Frick, Schwab and all the rest
came into the huge corral which the
ex-drummer built around the steel
business. s3

Eye and Brain.

Some curious reseG rches have re.
Gently been made by French army
surgeons on the relationship between
good eyesight and good target practice
At first glance one would say that the
two things must invariably depend one
upon the other. But the facts lead TO
different conclusion. At least they
show that one may have very defec-
tive eyesight and yet be very accu-
rate marksman. Astigmatism, myo-
pia and other defects Of vision may
exist in a marked degree without de-
stroying the ability tc' aim and shoot
straight. In the French and German
armies soldiers are permitted to shoot
from the right or the left shoulder
according to their own preference
which is often guided by the super.
iority of one eye over the other. Ac-
curacy of judgment counts for as
much as acuteness OF vision with the

osyqen and Mushrooms.

A singular way of removing oxygen
from the air by the aid of plant was
recently made the basis of an expert
ment in one of the Government labora-
tories at Washington.
Inside a glass bell-jar, suspended
over water, was placed a mushroom,
and sunlight was allowed to fall upon
the plant. The mushroom absorbed
the oxygen from the air in the jar, and
the carbonic acid formed during the
process was absorbed by the water.
which gradually rose in the jar to
one-ffth Of its height. The mush-
room then dried up; but its ANNA
ton was only suspended, as was
proved by introducing beside It a
green plant, when the mushroom re-
commenced to yegetate, being nourish-
ed by the oxygen exhaled by the fresh
plant.

tuberculosis and Mummies.

A Frenchman with a lively imagina-
ton thinks that the prevalence of con
sumption in France and Europe gen
orally is largely due to the importation
of mummies from Egypt, which start
cd with Napoleon's invasion of that
country early in the last century, Thie.
Frenchman, DR.. Sornac, declares thar
mummies AID mummy dust contain
the bacilli of the disease in question.
Such extraordinary vitality is so in
credible that the idea is not to be con'
sidered for an instant without corroo-
Grafton from other experts. There
are enough other ways to account for
the existence Of tuberculosis without
blaming the mummies.

interested in the defense of Murderer

three months ago. The killing was
the result of mistaken identity, Will

CARSON, Jan. 24-Tuesday after
noon Senator Payne's bill to move
the county seat OF Esmeralda to
Goldheld came up in the senate un-
der suspension of the rules for third
reading and final passage. The re-
moval is effective May /.
The opposition did not expect the
fight to be precipitated so early, but
Pyne had marshalled his forces and
knew he could push It to the finish
right there.
There were the usual dilatory
practices, but Payne was prepared
when the vote came on postponing
the consideration for special order.
He asked why any one should ask
for a postponement of bill which
only interested Esmeralda county. 1t
was ridiculous for outside senator's
to ask for more light, as the parties
interested were in possession of all
the light necessary to act advisedly.
He demanded the consideration OF
the bill at once. The first round was
won in favor of the bill by vote of
! to 5.
The author of the bill insisted on
final consideration to explain in a
few terse sentences how much this
change was needed. He claimed that
Hawthorne was isolated from the
railroad six miles, and only accessi-

COAL SITUATION
STILL SERIOUS
RELIEF is, HOWEVER, PROMISED
BY THE ARRIVAL OF A
LARGE SHIPMENT.

The coal situation is again assum-
ing the most serious proportions, al
though there is bright ray OF hope.
1t was learned at the Office of the
railroad that Mr.. j. w. Brock had
secured forty-eight cars of coal from
Rock Springs, Wyoming and that the
coal was expected to arrive within
the next four or FIVE days. The
cars are to be distributed between
Goldfield, Tonopah and the the COM
panys own use, one-third going to
each. At present the railroad is in
a pretty bad way. 1t has been neces-
sary to abandon, practically, their
entire freight schedule, merely keep
ing one engine in commission to
move perishable freight Three cars
of coal had been expected from Nina,
but word was received from the
Southern Pacific Railroad at that
point, that inasmuch as they were
completely out of coal it would be
necessary to confiscate two of the
cars, which will leave but one car
for the Tonopah & Goldfield Railroad
to protect their passenger service.
The Southern Pacific is even worse
off and reports that at one point it
has been necessary to take out Of
service nine engines. The greatest
economy is being practiced in the
use of fuel by the local road in order
to prevent interruption in the pas
senger service. NJ
