That an English novelist should receive
marked honor from the Sultan of Tur-
key is a matter of surprise to many peo-
pie. as the autocrat does not really appre-
ciate English literature: indeed. he has al
ways shown himself hostile to the adj
vancement of literature among his own
subjects. Yet Sir Conan Doyle and his
wife. who have been on a visit to this city.
have been decorated by his majesty. The
famous novelist has also been asked to
present the sultan with a complete col
lection of his published works.
There is just touch of humor in this
compliment. as it is hardly year since
Sir Conan Doyle publicly denounced the
Turks in political speech. when he rec
>mmended Great Britain to turn her big
FOUNDER guns against them. OF course the
Turks are not the sort of people to be
easily disturbed by such threats. and the
sultan's marked attentions to the English
author and his wife are certainly not a
piece of diplomacy to prevent him from
laundering forth such terrible threats in
future.
Abdul Hamid, who rules, or rather mis-
rules. the Turkish empire through his
spies and detectives. must certainly appre-
ciate the distinguished talent of the author
of Sherlock Holmes. An adaptation of
this play was long ago made in') the
Turkish language for the exclusive pleas
ure of the sultan. and it has been several
times performed in the private theater Of
Yildiz Kiosk, on which occasion the sui
tan invited English diplomatists and some
distinguished tourists from England
Kaiser's Grand Master.
One of the most interesting people who
accompanied the German emperor and
empress on their visit to England is Herr
Won Dem knesebeck, his majestys deputy
grand master of the ceremonies. Although
he is Prussian by birth and education,
he has very pronounced English sympa-
thies. He speaks English perfectly and
without a trace Of accent. His clothes
come from Conduit street, and his hats. in
their brilliancy and shape. are the admira-
ion of all Inter den Linden.
Herr Won Dem Knesebeck has to endure
a good deal of well-meant chaff about his
appearance and manners. 1t is generally
said of him that he is more English than
he most English of Englishmen," and GER
tainly he Is far removed from the usual
type of Prussian official. He is of some.
thing more than middle age, unmarried,
and great favorite at court; although OF
noble birth. he has no title. and, like sew
eral very old English families. he disdains
a modern title, which has more than once
been offered to him.
He is great authority on court ETH
quette and precedence. and his word is
aw on all matters Of state ceremonial.
He has often been in England before, but
always privately. and this is his first visit
in an official capacity.

Two Cars of Dynamite ExpIodes.

A Salt Lake dispatch of July ? says: Two carloads of giant powder standing on sidetrack of the Oregon Short Line, at Beck's Hot Springs, about five miles from this city exploded to- day, jarring heavy buildings in this city and causing considerable excite ment for a time. No one was killed but two men were injured.
 A local passenger train on the Short Line was due just about the time of the explosion and but for the presence of mind of the engineer many lives would undoubtedly have been lost. Seeing the burning cars ahead the en- gineer brought his train to stand still, then sent it backing at full speed. He had taken the train about a quar- ter of mile when the powder ex- ploded breaking every window in the train and throwing the passengers out of their seats.
 Telegraph and telephone communi- cation to the north and west were tenn porarily cut off as every pole in the neighborhood went down. Window panes in houses two miles on either side of the explosion were smashed.

Accidental Discoveries.

Accidents of the most trivial sort have been the means of uncovering many of the richest mines of the world. The famous Hartz mountain silver mines of Germany were dis covered by hunter whose horse fas- tened beneath tree paved the ground in his impatience, and thus exposed the slumbering metal beneath the sur face. The famous Pasco silver mines of Peru were discovered by an Indian shepherd, who kindled fire for warmth during the night, and who, stirring the ashes in the morning, pre- paratory to renewing the fire, discov- cred quantity of the recently melted silver in the ashes. The great silver region of Broken Hill. in Australia, was discovered by a boundary rider in 1863, by the merest chance. The famous Comstock mines in Nevada were also discovered by accident. A number of miners were prospecting for gold in the beds of the streams which poured down from Mount Dav- idson, who, as they worked up stream, found that the gold that they obtained became lighter in color and of lesser value, and were about to give up in disgust, when they suddenly began to unearth the wealth of the famous re- zion in silver.-Exchange.

Tenderfoot's Dream is Realized.

A photograph exhibited by Dr. H.. P. Greenfield, who is in town from the Manhattan camp in the Camabab abi range is proof that the dream of a mine that produces from the grass roots and yields ore "with the eagle on it" is not all dream. The Man hattan comes nearest to producing minted coin of the realm of anything on record so far, by photographic evil dence. The photo exhibited by Dr. Greenfield shows three young eaglets perched upon pile of Manhattan free gold ore.
 While the eagle part is joke the gold values in the ore are very real. Assays run all the way from 200$ to 4,OOO$ to the ton with plenty of ore that averages above the 50O$ mark. The Manhattan is a new property, con- sisting of twenty-six claims. A con- siderable amount of tunnel and shaft work has been done. The location is some seventy miles almost due west from Tucson. A plant is on the way, consisting of 35 ton capacity con- centrating and cyaniding outfit, with amalgamating plates. Contrary to the usual reputation of the section in which the property is located there is an abundance of water at the camp Tucson Citizen.

Famous Mine Petering Out.

For years the Mount Morgan Mining Company of Australia has been pay ing a monthly dividend of 145,0O0$ on it's stock. The shareholders have thus far received nearly 25,OOO, ,OOO$ in divi- dends. A great change has come to pass, however, and it will interest all who have known Mount Morgan as the most wonderful gold mine in the world.
 Professor J. w. Gregory, who occu- pies the chair of geology in the Uni versity of Glasgow, has just issued his book on Australia, which is partly the result of his extended studies in that continent for several years. He says that the gold of Mount Morgan has been decreasing in quantity. and that the mountain is rapidly changing into low grade copper proposition. The company is preparing now to extract the copper values, for it is believed that the history of Mount Morgan as great gold producer is practically closed
 Mount Morgan is in the southeastern part of Queensland. It is curious fact that long ago the poor herder named Gordon, who owned it and sold it for a pittance, told the purchasers that he had observed curious green and blue stains all over the mountain, and he would not be surprised if it contained copper.
 His surmise has proved true at last, but the experienced prospectors who found gold there did not tell Gordon of the indications that fairly startled tn m, and he gladly accepted their offer of 5$ an acre for the land. Cor don died in poverty, but he lived long enough to know the value of the prize that had slipped through his hands.
 The Morgan brothers, who pur- chased the mountain, let four other men into the enterprise, and five years later each of the six men was mill ionaire. The stock has remained in comparatively few hands and the mine has made fortune for everyone con- . cerned in it. The army of miners working in the mine has usually num- bered about 1,20O.
 The richest gold deposits were found at the top of the mountain, and until the top had been quarried away the dividends amounted to more than 5O0,- O0O$ month. The ore decreased con- siderably in the value of its gold, but later it remained for years almost uni form in r mess, and it was thought likely that the entire mountain would be worth digging away.
 Recently, however, as the level of ope,aI.ons has been lowered, less gold has been extracted, and now the gold has largely disappeared, and copper has come into view. With copper SUD- planting the precious metal, Mount Morgan will no longer be known as one of the richest spots on the globe. Silver Belt.
