A>- ,ones Found Statesmen In the
 Home Store Too Easy Going.
 A wensan who lives in d thrvin Z towz about ::-7>;y miles from a big city was accosted at the railway sta tion the other day by dry goods mer. chant in her town, who inquired:
 "Why have you quit trading with us, Mrs. JoneS:'
 The reply was not ~hat the merchant expected. He knew that Mrs. Jones for some months past had been going to the neighboring city to buy the goods she formerly bought of him. and he suspected with good reason that sh" was even then waiting train to take her to the city on a shopping errand. Mrs. Jones, who had known the mel. chant for years, said:
 T am going to tell you exactly why I do not trade with you any more. It Is because several of your clerks seem to have too many fria:is around here When I go intc -9e store, I natural! expect to be waited on at once in case any salesman is not busy. But ire Quently l have entered the store and had to stand around and do the wait ing myself, while one of your clerks was very busy talking to friend who had dropped in for chat After fin fishing his conversation ne would stroll up leisurely and ask me what he could do for me. A few repetitions of that sort of thing naturally made me less fn ftn f,.a1 inc hnro knew that could go to the city and Ind the salesmen eager to wait on me"
 The merchant said he was sorry While subsequent events in his store are not reported for the public, it is natural to believe that those easy gc ns sslesmen, are sorry too.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 3-District
Attorney Langdon this aftern oon,
when the grand jury had adjourned.
allowed the reporters to understand
indirectly that President Patrick Cal
houn and General Manager Thorn
we'll Mullaley of the United Railways
would be indicted. They appeared in
answer to the jur S subpoena, but,
on refusing to answer questions, they
were not urged to reply. On the con-
fession of fourteen supervisors, it is
charged that the two railway officials
expended for their roads the sum of
s750,oOO in bribery to procure addi-
tional franchises and privileges.
1t is declared by the district at
torney that each supervisor to the
number of fifteen received $4,000
apiece, Supervisor Wilson got s1O,-
OOO Gallagher SIS 900 and Ruef and
Schmitz were paid $655,000. The
bonds given as part of this sum
amounted so the district attorney says
! to S565 900, and Ruef and Schmitz are
asserted to have turned their secur-
tiles into cash through the firm of
Charles Sutro & Co.
Charles Sutro, the broker, was one
of the witnesses before the grand jury
today.
President Calhoun tonight issued a
public statement in which he categori
cally denied every charge of bribery
and says that no one connected with
the United Railroads ever authorized
any bribery or knew of such thing

Dear Sir

Dear Sir
1t is my desire and ambition to
make a practical demonstration of the
mining industry in this eastern dis
trlct, and the following plan of keep
ing alive tne interest of mining has
occurred to me and looks feasible.
and | submit the proposition for your
perusal as follows:
That the mine owners of Nevada
and California, especially the new
camps, will contribute a certain
amount OF gold or silver bullion or
concentrates not to exceed in value
one hundred thousand ($10OO00)
dollars. 1t being optional with them
whether they send ten ounces of gold
or one hundred, and all of this metal
to be cast in a gold statue with a sill
Yer base. AS a subject for the statue
| would suggest a Typical Prospect
or" making the figure of solid gold
and the base of silver. This gold
statue can be freely exhibited through
out the East in all large department
stores, hotels, etc. in charge of COM
petent and experienced mining man
and keep alive the mining interest
A booklet containing the names of
all contributors to the statue with
brief history and description OF min
ing would be given gratis to interest
o1 tho nv,lr3flGn or a
year or two the statue could be pre-
sented to some museum of art with
the compliments of all interested.
There would be no financial interest
for myself and the only expense which
would be incurred would be the salary
of the man in charge of the exhibit.
This expense would come from the
sale Of surplus bullion which would
not exceed $4,000 covering year
/ work.
offer this suggestion to you for
your consideration and trust that IL
YOU are favorably disposed that yeu
will give it publicity and cooperation
! I am operating some twenty-five pros
pects in the Death Valley region and
am associated with one of the largest
mining and banking houses in the
East. and can readily give references
as to the fulfillment and the honesty
of this project.
Trusting to hear from you, | re
main,

FIELD FOR ENGINEERS
Nevada Attracting Men Of the Very
Highest Attainments

Nevada's need of mining engineer
ing talent of the highest order is at
tracing into this field group of fam
Gus experts, who have achieved repu-
tation in various parts of the world.
These men, who have accomplished
great things abroad, have found that
in American there are broader fields
than in foreign lands and greater op-
portunity to win fame and fortune.
In discussing this subject the min
ing World says:
THE alluring bait for Americans to
emigrate to foreign countries is higher
pay for their services. 1t is evident
though, that the newer districts in
Nevada, California and Alaska afford
an equal opportunity to gain both rep
utation and fortune, for there are
problems to be solved in mining, trans
portatiOn and ore treatment which re-
quire technical knowledge and un-
usual perseverance.
Opportunity, rather than luck, has
become the guiding star of the young
er American mining engineers and
metallurgists. To win fame and for
tune, these young men have pitched
their tents in the gold and diamond
fields of South Africa, the gold fields
of Australia, the coal fields Of China,
the gold fields of Japan, the "copper"
South America, the gold fields ana
copper fields of Alaska, the copper
and silver fields of Canada, and, in
fact, early everywhere can the sue
cess of the mining industry in recent
years be traced to the enterprise of
the professional American.
This 'wanderlust' in the American
is somewhat different from the trait
which is SO prominent in the Briton
and German, and latterly in the
Japanese. AS rule, the professional
American will stick to the last, de-
q
work, thinking it obligatory, no mat
ter how many thousands of miles he
may be from home. The Briton who
is inherently worldtrotter, often
takes the chance of opening mine
for the speculative excitement which
it may cause on the London stock ex
change. Instances can be given where
the British directors have been com
pelled (as a last resort to prevent the
bankruptcy of their cOrporation) tc
gage the services of an American en-
gineer whose disinterested report II
the mine re-established the confidence
OF shareholders. To be sure, there
are a number of able British engln
eeds who stand high in their profes
sion. but they are generally employed
on British soil. 1t is the Cornlsi
miner whom we find in various part
o. the United States, not the Brltisl
mining engineer. A suggestive ques
tion arises here: Is the pro1esslohd
Priton doing as much for the Unlte
States as the professional America
has acomplished for the United kln}
dom? And is there galnsayln2 ol I'll
fact that American skill in mining al
metallurgy has contributed largely
tho enormous gold output of s1l9,eo9
373 in the Transvaal last year!
