There is an enormous railroad track
way in the United States, consisting
Of 225,OO0 miles. This railway mile
age extends into every state of the
union. Yet it is totally inadequate
to the handling of the country's trans
portation business. The people, there
fore, look for relief to the waterways,
so bountifully provided by nature. OF
these waterways the Mississippi is, as
the New Orleans Picayune points out,
by far the most important. 1t COM

When Father knickcrbockcr wakes up on a cold winter morning and finds the digging of paths n necessary pre-. liminary to doing his chores, he is con. frontcd with an expensive job. The snow storm which recently swept over inc entire country left l0.1 inches of snow in New York, and it will cost something like S3o,Oo0 for every inch of depth to remove it from the 200 miles of streets which must hr clcnnc, and dump it into the East and North rivers. That makes total of S32O, ,OGc for the job, without considering th, immense loss of business incident f, impossible streets. Such storm mean, work for every available team and every idle man in thc city who ear wcld a shovel. When several snow storms come iu rapid succcssion, q, they sometimes do, i means continuous work for weeks and a sost that ire quently reaches ,50O0OO or more Eve, since the lasi snowfall. 5000 men nu, 5000 teams of every description hay, been working 9t ts removal.

FRISCO LAWYER

Dolphin M Delmas Leading Counsel for Harry K. Thaw--Father Knickerbooker Digs Few Paths ohn D. Rockefeller| Aiming to Die Poor.

NEW YORK. Feb. lS. Whatever Inc final uu,com" of thc Thaw trial may be, Dolphin M Dclmas, of counsel Tor the defense. ha, made in a single day a name and reputation that will endure long in the annals of criminal luris' prudcnrc in New York. From the be- ginning. the ease, probably the most sensational ever tried ai the New York bar. has been rich in dramatic mel dent. but the climax came on the sec ond morning of the defense, when Dis trict Attorney Jerome found hmsclf confronted by the shrcwd, calm, Keen wittcd advocate from san Francisco, instead of inc prominent attorney who in a single day hc had succeeded m reducing to such a state of hopeless confusion that the friends of the ac' c,Iscd were hcnrtsick with appr"hcn' sion and even the interest of scnsation- seeking spectators was beginning to flag. But n change had been made over night. Before ab hour had passed the light of hope had dawncd again in the. prisoners eyes as he watched ihc skill with which inc "c9uniry' law yer handled his ease. Before the day was over. the district attorneys some what contcmptuouS references io his opponent 's "incxpcricncc in inc prac' ticc of the New York bar,' had given place io respectful if not anxious, con sidcra,ion of his methods. Then the sensational newspaper writers and ar lists sharpcncd their pencils afrcsh and the dcscriing army of curiosity seek. CTS returned. literally by thousands, to bcsiegc with every sore of plea for ad- mit,ancc to the court room in which two perfectly matched masters of the legal profession were battling for q human life.

MUCH ACTIVITY IN NEW 4. & |.
 COUNTRY New Camps Continually Springing Up Says
 ]. P. Bauder Promising Strike Made On The Palmer
 Properties
(From Tuesdays Dailq.)

In the opinion of !. r. liaudcr, who returned recently from an extended visit through the Bill Williams, liar cuvcr and Butler mountains, the new copper country opened by the A. & C.. railway, will become one of the great est copper producers in the west when branch railroad lines are built to the many camps which already promise to become producers.
 "It's nothing short of n wonderfully rich mineral country, judging from the work already done thcrc,' said NIT. Baudcr. "Ncw camps are continually springing up and bodies of ore are be- ing uncovered which will startlc the country by their size and wealth when the transportation problem K solved by the building of branch lines from the \. & C.
 "Pcrhaps the most promising strike recently made in the rcgiou,' he con tinucd. "is that on the Palmer prop critics. adjoining the Carrigan mines on ihc deposit from . gulch about l0o feet in depth, where the deposit was washed away, in which n large body of copper ore was uncovered, similar in character to that found in the Carrigan, and ap parcnily equally as rich in gold. th, yellow metal being plainly visible {, the naked eye, and just as aitraciiv, as that found in the Carrigan about | year ago. There is also good ore cx posed in the Moro mines, south of Ih, Palmer and Carrigan, and on the sam, | mineral belt. The new double compart mcnt shaft on the Carrigan which i being sunk perpendicular, is already 1T the vein, at n depth of only fifty feet and the character of the orc is as goo, ns that uncovered in the other open ings. The shaft iS bing pushed dowi but has not yet passed through the or, body. There k ore exposed in eyer, | hhHll, nolt or uflll on the hffigan ant Palmer locations. Palmer and his part ners hav" an excellent showing in th lIarcuvcr mountains, near Cunningham Pass, from which they are preparing t make ear load shipment of ore.
 "lioonc is making regular shipment from the Bullard mine. in Cunningham Pass, and has forces of miners at worl on the .losephi and Wilkinson mine, which Inc recently bonded. liclchcr ( smith have started development on in (. R. group in the Pass, recently pur chased by them, and inc Chicago Mine company has n force of fifteen me opening copper property in Butlc valley, between the Pass and Carrigat Tho Montana.Arizona Mines compnn K also operating in the Butler range
 "Thc shaft on the Rosoborry is no, down past inc goo foot level, where large body of high grade sulphidc or was encountered. This property is no, considered in the producing class an its development is being vigorousl pushed"

Big Success

When The Washington Sunday Times
announced March last that il wished
10 find the most beautiful woman In
Washington the cooperation OF the en-
tire city was the instantaneous result
From that evening until midnight OF
Sunday, April p, the population OF
Washington did all in its power TO help
The Sunday Times find the supreme
beauty OF the city. Photographs poured
into the offices of the paper by the hun
bred. Men sent the photographs OF
their wives. and Of their sweethearts;
mothers submitted pictures OF their
daughters; children sent portraits Of
their mothers In many instances,
people who knew Of beauties as yet not
discovered by The Sunday Times noti-
fed the Beauty Editor where their
photographs could be obtained
And what was the result Of this splen-
did worlST
It was that the final contes, resulted
