today was the alteration in the attitude
of corporation authorities towards the
policy of moving for repeal or modifica-

we actually begin the output of copper
Our property is geologically ideal. We
have a mineralized zone 900 feet in

have not developed it for more than GOO

SO il is rather an interesting old
wagon after all It's trips are not long
although they are so important. II
brings the currency from the bureau Of
engraving and printing, where it is
printed, to the treasury department,
scarcely half mile away. The money
is packed in bundles, each weighing
twelve and one-half pounds, and each
containing 1000 sheets with four bills
to the sheet The value of each pack
age depends. of course, upon the de-
nomination or size of the bills it
contains. one package which was com
posed altogether of 900 bills and was
worth $40,00o,o00 was once hauled. That
was an exceptional bundle, but even
when the bills are Of The lowest denom-
nations, 81. the packages are worth
1900 each. ~ sT
1t is because Of the value of its loads
that the old wagon is accompanied by
four mer, two in front and two behind,
besides the driver. Uncle Sam is not
taking any chances on a "hold up"
even if the drive is 50 short. Each of
these men is heavily armed and ready
TO tackle any man or party of men
that should attempt a wild West dis
play in the neighborhood of the wagon.

Eastern Football
Season Ends With
TOday's Games.

New York, Nov. 24.-The football
season will end in the East with TO-
morrow's games. The Cornell-Penn-
sylvania contest at Philadelphia this
year will take the place of the can
celled Army Navy match as the last
big game of the season. 1t is Phlla-
delphia's greatest college athletic event
of the year and will attract a crowd
almost the equal in brilliancy and en-
thusiasn OF those at the Yale-Prince-
ton and Yale Harvard games of the
past fortnight.
Two interesting games will be played
in New York, one between Syracuse
and Fordham and the other between
New York University and Trinity.
FOrdham in the event of winning to-
morrow from Syracuse will be fairly
entitled to the championship Of New
York state. Other Eastern games to-
morrow will be between Pennsylvania
State and Pittsburg, between Blackwell
and George Washington and between
Gettysburg and Franklin and Marshall.

Gilmore pulled him into the boat.

OLD VAN HAULS MILLIONS.
Bills Would Cover Fifty Miles From
Coast to Coast.

Washington. d. c., Nov. 24.-Visitors
to Washington who have their eyes
open may see, once or twice a day, a
big closed wagon drawn by three stur-
dy white horses drive up Fifteenth
street and back up against the curb
at one of the entrances to the treasury
department. There is nothing especial
ly to distinguish this wagon from lots
of others, except that there are usually
two men on the 'front.' seat beside the
driver and two other men standing on
the back step. But when the visitor
notices the number of packages that
are taken off the wagon, this extra
complement IF attendants ceases to oc-
caSion comment or surprise. 1t seems
to be quite natural, and the cOmings
and goings of the wagon attract little
attention
Yet there is romance ABOUT that van
which reaches out to every man,
woman and child in the country who
has spent a dollar bill or any other
amount in currency for that matter, in
the last tWcnty-Six years. For every
piece of paper money that has been
issued in the United States during that
time has first ridden in that wagon.
and the total equals all the money
there is in the world today.
A recent calculation produced some
rather remarkable comparisons. For
instance, the report says:
1T would take string of hay wag-
ons twenty miles long to, hold the
money that has passed through this
old van. If the packages We're piled
one on top of the other they would
make a monument fifteen miles high.
If the bills were placed end to end the
string would be 100000 miles long, or

NOT MUCH TROUBLE TO WRITE
Some Proper Names That at Least
Have the Distinguishing Merit
of Novelty.

In the Zuyder Zee there is bay
called Y, and Amsterdam has a river
Y, while, strange to say, in quite an
other part of the earth, in China, the
same brief name is given TO a town.
Elsewhere In the flowery kingdom,
in the province of Honan, there is a
city called u, and in France there is
river and in Sweden a town rejoic-
ing in the name of A.
Proper names of this brief nature
are not, however, monopolized by
places; instances are on record where
individuals have been similarly named
Some years ago there was a shop kept
on the Rue de Louvan, Brussels, by
Theresa o, and there is a Nine. o in
Paris, who is well-known as the pro
prietor of a popular cafe.
An amusing incident is recounted I'm
connection with the impressment into
the military service of the son of one
Of the members of the o family. The
young man could not write, and SC
signed his name on the military pa
pers with a cross, it not occurring to
him or to any of the officials how
easily he could have written his name
