SOME HAYTIEN
 PRESIDENTS
Sad Spectacle of the Aged Nord Alexis in His Flight From Port
 au Prince.

From the New York Sun.
 Old Nord Alexis, with French flag wrapped about his shrunken figure as an aegis struck at by a vengeful negress with a knife, pommeled by one of his black subjects, and leaving a box of gold behind on the wharf in his panic, is a grotesque picture of fallen greatness; but he fared better than some of his pfedeces- sors in the chair of state.
 The exiled president in his time has seen good deal of history made in Hayti, if the brawling and blood letting of it's politicians in that pays de bar bares" as Napoleon III called it, can be called history. Most of its rulers have been ignorant vain, brutal, despotic, sor- did and corrupt; but not all of them. If Nord Alexis verges on 90. as they say, he was born in the administration of clean-handed, patriotic and energetic pres ident, Jean, Pierre Boyer, who ruled from 1918 to 1s43 and well on the whole bow ing to the inevitable and saving himself by embarking on the British sloop of war Scylla.

makes him marked man in the annals of Hayti.
 For color, so to speak, Jean Jacques Dessalnes the only native governor gem eral has had scarcely peer among Hay tian administrators. An ex-slave and a red-handed veteran of the war of inde- pendence, Dessalines was naturally un- refined, masterful, bloody minded and immoral. His rule began with a decree of massacre his subjects being encour- aged to enjoy "the luxury of shedding the blood of those in whose presence they had formerly trembled' He took a hand in the business himself, and the only sur vivors were some French priests and phy- sicians whose usefulness was recognized.

Wen Are Compared to Eagles
 and Geese
SOME ARE AMBITIOUS
While Others Are Content to Remain On the Ground, Plodding anu Groveling Along in the
 Same old Ruts.
pr. Madison c. Peters in Spokane Re

Dr. Madison c. Peters in Spokane Re- view.
 The eagle, conscious of his might, can soar aloft to sublime heights and tray- erse the ether fields on buoyant pinions, while the goose must remain on the ground and waddle about within it's own circumscrbed area
 Men may be likened unto eagles and geese Some are ambitious to reach the highest point, strong in their energy to overcome every difficulty. and will let nothing thwart or retard them in their progress to their destination. These are the eagles who scorn the force of circum- stances and rise triumphantly above them.
 There are others, however, who are con- tent to remain on the ground, plodding and groyeling along in the same old rut, seeing no farther than the tip of their own noses and never able to penetrate beyond the boundary line of the narrow limits which confine their well-nigh use less lives.
 These are the geese, the weak, vacil- lating lazy individuals, devoid of am bition and with no objective point for which to labor and strive. They pass through existence in a state of torpor or at least apathy. to their surroundings careless, if not oblivious, to all that should interest and compel them to take an active part in the great arena in which providence has placed them.
 Yield Chisel of Perseverance.
 Whenever we come to study of the men who have made their marks deep in the worlds history we find that they were enabled to do so by the sharp chise of perseverance and the mallet of determination. They were not drones, but were up and doing all the time. While others were idling they were toiling, while others slept they were awake, alive to every opportunity which they could seize to further their designs. They availed themselves of every minute and made the seconds count to the best advantage.
 No man can hope to keep pace with the worlds progress if he fails to equip himself for the march, otherwise he must lag behind or drop out of the ranks. He must buckle on the armor of courage and take the sword of per severance in his hand to carve his way to the front.
 It may be taken as a general rule that there are no jumps in the careers of successful men; their progress is a steady march. every step a logical and well earned success. There are a few exceptions. of course, but these only serve to emphasize the rule.
 If you want to gain reward you must do something that merits reward. If you want to get out of the common rut you must do something out of the com mon.

Successful Employe.

It is the employe who accomplishes something out of the ordinary, something that others do not or cannot do, who gains approval and promotion over the heads of those who have been longer in the service of the establishment, but who like the geese, have been content to wad- dle along in the confines of their narrow limits without making effort to get be- yond the boundary line.
 The man who takes pains with his work, who endeavors to do better than his neighbors, who shows originality in his methods, is sure to come in for attention He has not long to wait for recognition, his ability compels it, and employers are only too willing to give him his just de- serts.
 Employers are not slow to detect the shirks, the schemers who try to dodge their duties at every turn, who only make pfetense when the eye of the supervisor is cast in their direction, who think every minute an hour until the bell sounds and keep constant watch on the clock until the hands point the hour of re- lease.
 These individuals forfeit all trust They are dishonest to themselves as we'll as to their masters, because they waste the time of both. They have no real object in view, save to kill time and their only ambition is to secure their pay at the weeks end

Man With a Purpose Wins.

How different with those who live for a purpose! They put forward every endeav- or to make today find them further ad- vanced in their desires than yesterday and look forward to tomorrow to add to their attainments, It is constant progression with them toward the wished-for end. They command attention and merit ap- proval on their actions.
 It is only natural that employers should pick them out for advancement, for they make the interests of the firm their own No need to keep watchful eye on them; they are as industrious when the master s back is turned as when he is present and the latter Is cognizant of the fact.
 Being alive to the interests of your em- ployer is safeguarding your own and is the key which always unlocks the door of promotion.
 Anticipate the wants of your employer Keep alert to the things which .need to be done, to every little detail that de- mands attention Don't be stingy with your labor. Your hands were made to work and your brain to think and plan so don't spare either The used key is always bright.

Big Find Made By the Night
Shift In Gold Road
Group,

k1NGMAN, Nov. 20.-Last Tuesday
night, on the 700-foot level of the Billy
Byran mine, Of the Gold Road group,
four feet of ore was broken into by
the night shift that carries wonderful
values. The entire mass runs over
$500 gold to the ton, while small
streaks gave assay returns OF $23, 900.
The shaft was sunk outside the vein
and was struck few feet below the
200. Ore was broken out by the first
shots in the vein, even the walls show
ing high naturalization. A station is
being cut at this point, and it is ex-
pected that an immense, body of ore
will be opened. The company has
been sinking tails snaft the past six
months, and is driving a drift from
the 500 OF the Gold Road TO intersect
it on this level. This drift is lu,
within 100 feet IL connection, the gre L,

ores. Throughout the district there
is general rejoicing over the big strike

LEDGE FOUND
BY ACCIDENT
PROVES RICH
Williams Takes Out Tons of
Gold Ore Until Stopped BY
Water-New Owner to Put
In Pumps.
fPresoott Journaf Miner.l

Among the promising properties of
the Senator section of the Hassayam-
pa district under development may be
mentioned the Baltimore group of
claims, recently taken over under bond
by w. h Fry. The property was for
merly known as the Enoch Williams
group.
The new shaft is now down thirty
five feet with from three to five feet
of ore in the bottom. Sinking is be
ing pushed and the new owner has
under consideration the sinking of a
second shaft on a parallel vein. He
made the second payment to Lester
Jackson, one of the former owners, a
few days ago. Fry is confident On
opening one of the largest gold prop
critics In the Hassayampa district.
The ledge under development was
discovered several years ago by Enoeh
Williams, while engaged in placer min
ing. The ledge is what is know as a
wet one. Water flows out Of the sur
face the entire year. Williams was
working some very rich placer ground
when he suddenly discovered the
ledge. He PANIED some Of the crop
pings. and found a rich gold prospect.
He sunk q shaft and extracted several
hundred tons Of ore that gave returns
OF SIS to the ton, treate dby crude
arastra process. He was forced to
cease sinking on account of the great
inflow of water, not being possessed of
sufficient means to equip the shaft
with hoisting and pumping machinery.
Fry is now preparing TO install a
pump. as water has increased so fast
in the last few feet sunk as to seri-
ously impede sinking.
The group is located eight miles
south of the city near the Prescott
and Senator stage road. The loca,
lions cover several veins associated
with the granite and syenite contact,
so well known to miners and prospec-
tors of the district One of the claims
is located over a pr6misin gIedge in
schist intrusion in the syenite. Some
very high grade gold ore has been
taken from this vein.
Lester Jackson of this city took
over the property under bond from
Bnoch Williams, the discoyerer, sever
al months ago. After proving one of
the rich lodges at his own expense,
his rights were purchased by Fry. Fry
started operations on his own account
and is so well pleased with the out
look that he has already made the
second payment Of the purchase
price.

Liquidation to a certain extent con-
tinues to prevail in the New York
market as well as in the Boston. The
opening of the market failed to saow
any signs of weakness, but on the
other hand showed strength. Durins
the day stocks were pretty well sold
off, and lower prices were noticed. To
ward the close there was good buying
and stocks as rule closed at about
the opening prices. The copper metai
opened FIVE shillings up, but didn't
have much reflection on the market
Superior & Pittsburg sold OFF. as well
as Greene Cananea, both closing at
about the low mark for the day. Globe.

to be weak. l think that the reaction
is only what could have been expect
ed, but am inclined to believe that It
was not looked for at this time. l
think, however, that stock ought to be
