Anxious TRAVELLING.

The late William E. Ingersoll. the
Aotel life insurance manager, was an
authority on insurance rates.
"Mr. Ingersoll knew the rates all
over the world" said New York
manager recently. The Russian rates
are very high. Mr.. Ingersoll once ex-
planned to me, with story, why this
was.
"A traveller in Russia, he said, no
ticed that the train was all decorated
with flags and banners, and at every
station stood a company Of soldiers
and a band playing the national an
them. The traveller asked brake
man the reason OF all this ceremony.

replied:
81 don't mind telling you sir-but
in the strictest confidence be it I'M
derstood-that carriage in this train
has been engaged for his majesty.
But his majesty, as matter Of fact,
won't set off till this evening. Thus
the plot Matched against him may
take effect on this train, you see, and
our gracious sovereign will be saved.
"The brakeman touched his cap
and passed on, and the traveller, sud
denly grown pale and nervous, stared
from the window anxiously."-Wash

RICH SAMPLES FROM MINES IN LOST
 GULCH
ENCOURAGING DEVELOPMENTS IN PROPERTY OF LOST GULcH
 UNITED MINES

One of the mines of Globe district to which little prominence has been given in the press reports, but on which development work is being done with every prospect of proving up T rich producer, is the property of the Lost Gulch United Mines company, locate ! about two miles northwest of the Black Warrior mine.
 A specimen of ore recently taken from one of the workings on the Lost Gulch claims was brought to this city and is an excellent sample. Assays of ore taken from different shafts and tunnels show values as high as $l00 a ton in gold, carry large quantities of lead and run up to 9 per cent in cop per.
 At present about nineteen men are employed in development work at the mines. Most of the operations are be ing carried on in tunnel which has now been driven for zoo feet. The old quartz mill which was built by former owners of the property is now being dismantled. .i
 President J. T. Harrington and other people of this city who are interested in the Lost Gulch United Mines com pany, have great confidence in the fut ure of the property and this confidence is well grounded i'll indications that give promise of large shipments of un usually rich ore in the near future.
 Work at the mines of the Lost Gulch United Mines company is being watch ed with interest by several local people who have holdings nearby.
