SIGHTSEEING IN AFRICA.
Mr. Roosevelt May augment Tourist
TraUeL Thither.

In view Of the proposed trip Of President
Roosevelt to Africa, that continent is assuming
new interest in the eyes of many good Arnert-
cans who have not thought much about 1t since
the Boer war. except to wonder langu1dly what
King Leopold will do If the profits OF "Red
Rubber taken away from him. But after
the President has made Africa fashionable as
retreat for work wearied statesmen, and has
shown the charms of life there in series of
lively letters, may expect succession OF
tourists to the Dark Continent, which is GER
tainly one of the few places left untrodden by
the tourist.
A correspondent of "L'Illustration' in his ac
count Of the French Colonial Minister'S recent
trip to the French colonies in Western Africa
gives some idea of the novelties and sights
the faded globe trotter may see there. NJ.
Nillies-Iacroix. he says has returned 'en-
ehanted" with his voyage of Investigations.
Crossing Dahomey, Senegal, Guinea and the
Ivory Coast with a boldness and energy that
surprised even the most bustling colonials, the
minister all along the route showed active
interest in all sorts of people and thingsper-
haps because the journey was so little like the
official tours ministers usually make.
To be sure, the receptions Of functionaries in
divers government houses did not differ much
from the monotonous march of civil and mill
tary authorities across the usual red damasked
drawing rooms of government houses. and the
speeches of welcome IN Africa probably varied
very little from those in France, in America or
anywhere else. M. MiilieS-LacroiX had to dis
tribute, as usual. many decorations and many
handfuls of medals, but, on the whole, he had
some very novel sensations among the black de-
pendents of France. Certainly he had never
Dreamed of journeying in the style of Dahomey.
where when he wished to visit some factories
rather far from the centre of such civilization
there is in that land, he was obliged to commit
himself to hammock and let his legs swing on
each side Of his hempen chair in time to the
rythmical step of his swarthy bearers.
Perhaps his most unexpected sensation was
3hen he disembarl1ed the wharf at Cotonou,
where to pass from the canoe he had taken
from the side of his ship, the Chasseoup-Lou-
bat to the platform of the quay, he had to
get into a willow basket, which was hoisted to
the wharf by a derrick; perhaps it was when
he assisted at one of the numerous tam
tams." or evening parties of African society.
where he saw dances old as the Oldest form of
merriment. more picturesque, one might say,
than modest Some very simple and very prim-

Preserving the Balance.

A well known professor of architec-
lure commonly referred to as Ham
my" by his pupils, told a story illus
trative of the remarkable degree to
which certain persons possess the sense
Of symmetry.
1t seems that here was once a
Scotch gardener who had charge Of a
good sized English estate and under
whose direction the formal garden at
the rear had been laid out with abso-
lutte symmetry, even the two summer
houses, one on each side of the garden.
being Identical in even the most minute
detail. On one occasion the English
man became angry at his son and
locked him up in one Of the summer
houses. As soon as the Scotch garden
er heard Of this his sense of symmetry
was so outraged that he Immediately
sent for his own son and locked him
up in the other summer house to pre-
serve the balance. 'Hammy" neglect
ed to mention whether both boys were
dressed exactly alike, but it is to be
presumed that even this detail was at
tended to by the aesthetic Scotchman.

The Palisades.

To see New York city from the Pail
sades Is to witness the multiple beau
ty and wonder Of the Palisades them
selves. One Of the most astonishing
facts concerning these towering
masses Of grandeur Is that they lie so
close to the most artificial. man sub
jugated area that civilization has
evolved. writes Philip Verrill Mighels
In Harper's Magazine. To come upon
the Palisades from the rear at night
Is like stepping to the edge OF the
world. where the slender, dark island
lies low beyond as If it were only
a part of space. its countless lights
looking like millions Of stars stretched
for miles across the sky. The illu-
sion is dispelled when the wind flows
up with the tide to the base OF the
cliffs and lifts up the full throated
roar Of the substantial city.

GREAT Bend IN
The LIMELIGHT

Goldfield, the hub mining camp of
Nevada, has not startled the world
since the Little Florence and Rogers
Syndicate strikes of several weeks
ago, says the Goldfield News. They
are proving two of the biggest things
the mining world has heard about for
a long time, but not sufficient t,
maintain the reputation of "the
greatest mining camp on earth in
definitely. 1t was necessary that
something entirely, novel occur-and
it has occurred.
Great Bend has now entered the
limelight and the property promis Is
fair to maintain its position in the
center of the stage for some time t
come.
Messrs. Lotus & Davis. in theil
lease ON the Great Bend, have en-
countered one of the latest bonanza'
that the mining history of southern
Nevada records. They have develop
ed ledge, ranging from one to two
feet in width, that carries values al
the way from $40 to $4,000, ant
which will easily break 5000 a tol
for it's entire height, length AM
breadth.
In the Great Bend the leasers hav
developed an ore shoot for distanc
Of 125 feet on the 800 level.
winze has been sunk so feet in or
and another drift has been run in tn
bonanza stuff at the. $50.
Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1908-05-03

The string Of assays since the find
ing of the bonanza ledge reads like
an Aladdin tale. There are returns
in two, three, four and i've figures,
and it is very modest to state that a
couple of hundred dollars is all that
the shoot will average.
Great Bend is located in the Dia-
mondfield section of the Goldfield
district, and is an intimate neighbor
Of the Daisy, a mine in itself.
But the Great Bend ore differs
somewhat from that in the Daisy
mine, inasmuch as it contains certain
bases which the Daisy cannot boast
of. It has the free gold, even the
syIvanite, but it has more. The sill
yer contents alone would make It
worth while. Then there is teterahed-
rite in abundance, while the bulk Of
the base is blackjack, zinc and lead
formation that is worth more as BY
product than it could possibly steal
from the noble metallic content in
the course of reduction. Gold has
\ formed an alliance with the zinc in
the Great Bend, for where the blac &
jack crystals exist in greatest num-
Der, there are the gold values high
est. From $1,000 to $4,000 is
4 the usual return when a fine black
4 jack specimen is assayed.
i Messrs. Lotus & Davis not only
own this lease, but they have con-
troll of the capital stock in the Great
Bend company itself and recently
they have not been averse to pur-
chasing any blocks that might have
been thrown upon the market. These
geneltmen entered upon the business
of making a mine of the Great Bend
and they have backed their confiden =
in the project with their cash whe1
, ever any weak holder insisted upo'
