Pasha Old Boat

The Pasha is an old boat and steamed
with broken paddles and pounding en-
gines. but the steam gauge showed the
top notch, suggesting the old days on
the Ohio river. when negro boy held
down the safety gaugue Six blacks
sweated in tropical sun stoking the
furnace, while sparks stresmed through
the funnel and the timbers creaked
continuously above the kissing steam.
On several occasions the boat ran
aground.
The strategic point was naturally the
telegraph station, which is located in
Renk, with no other within 100 miles in
any direction, and with a single wire,
with a Soudanese operator with only
casual knowledge of English. Upon
landing the correspondents dashed TO
the telegraph office, which the Tribune
reached first.

on his last visit his smile was broader than ever. He has struck it. The new discovery is on property owned by himself and Theo. Gebler. He started to tell us how wide it was-he stopped, and, said he had not got through it yet. Our old friend Mike Doyle swore every word of it was so. Then Mike started to tell Us about it and wound up by saying it was the biggest thing he ever saw. George said he did not wish ua to take his word for it, but invited us to come and see for ourselves. That sounded pretty good. We'll, we are really glad to hear that he has something big.

PATAGONIA, Aug. 10th, l9lU.
 At the Arizona -Anaconda camp, J. R. Bent, superintendent, there are from fifteen to twenty men em- ployed. The double-compartment shaft is steadily gaining depth. It is the intention of the company to sink to depth of 300 feet and then cross-ccrrrTr to the yeiL4 4 car load of ore left Patagonia one day last week to the shelter, and had the appearance of being a good grade of copper silver ore. Mir. Bent makes no boasts as to what he is doing or going to do, but is keeping everlastingly at it. The camp is situated in one of the prettiest spots in Arizona. We will all hear more from this camp later on.
 Mir. Ben E. Lindsey, general man. agsr of the Mansfield Mining x Smelling Company, has just com pleted the installation of his large hoist on the Black Cap mine, and is now working two or three shifts drifting and cross-cutting in the lower levels. The ore in the Black Cap is a high grade copper ore carving good silver values and very high gold values. Some of the ore assays as high as $400 in gold.
 One day last week MT. Mackin from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania large stockholder in the Mans field, visited the property and was very much elated with the promis- ing showing. Mir. Mackin express ed himself as having great hopes as to the ultimate outcome of the property, and was delighted with the country in general. He saiC there are very few people who would believe that there was suct a country as Patagonia and it's sur rounding country in Arizona. Wt hope to see Mir. Mackin again.

II was a bold project of Capt Hat

north pole, and gain for England the
glory of it's discovery. But he had
struggled for nine months against cur
rents and tempests. SCATTERING icebergs
and breaking through almost insur-
mountable barriers.
In an unprecedented winter he had
outdistanced all his predecessors and
accomplished half his task, when he
saw all his hopes blasted. The mu-
tiny Of his WORKOUT crew had left him
and his little band of three men in a
terrible situation-helpless In an icy
desert, $500 miles from their native
land-their ship a wreck, blown up by
the mutineers.
However, the courage of Hatteras
was still undaunted. The three men
which were left him were the best on
board his brig, and while they remain

Bell lay on the Ice almost inanimate.
Johnson had to take vigorous measures
to rouse him, but at last. by dint of
shaking and rubbing him with snow,
he succeeded.

man; we must have a talk about our
situation, and we need a place to put
our heads in. Come and help me, Bell.

help his comrade, while DR.. Clawbonny
undertook to go and fetch the sledge

CHICAGO PEOPLE
INVEST IN PINES

The deal whereby Libby, Mcneil C
Libby, the big packing concern of Chi
cago, Kansas City and other wastern
cities comes into ownership of one
half the stock of Ahuimanu and neigh
boring pineapple properties has been
closed, and yesterday papers for rein
corporation of the old concern was
filed with the treasurer, the old name
of Hawaiian Cannery, Limited" be-
ing changed to Libby, Mcneil & Lib
by of Honolulu, Limited" The appli-
cation for change of name is accom-
luton, passed during the day by the
hawaiian Cannery Company, Limited:
'Be it resolved by the stockholders
of the Hawaiian Cannery Company,
That the corporation name be changed
to Libby, Mcneil G. Libby of Homo
lulu, Limited and that the articles of
association be and they are hereby
changed accordingly and be it further
Resolved, That the president and
treasurer be and they are hereby au-
thorized and empowered and directed
to prepare and file in the office of the
treasurer of the Territory a petition
for the allowance of the said amend
ment."
The new company takes all of the
pineapples raised at Ahuimanu, and
also the product of the J. B. Castle
lands adjoining. Thus the harvest
each season will be from about 1000
ecres of pines. TO this will be added
about 500 new acres in the next two
years.
This sounds like lot of pineapples,
but Libby, Mcneil & Libby is an ex-
ceedingly great concern, operating all
over the United States and Europe.
More than 100 statesmen are employed
by them, so that this mammoth corpor-
alton will be capable of big things.
The story Of Libby, Mcneil & Libby
buying into Ahuimanu is not new, it
being talked about nearly a year ago,
when big delegation of Libbys, Nc
Neills, Swifts and others of the great
corporation visited Honolulu. The
pineapple idea matured then, and the
time since has been employed in ar
ranging the details for the new and
enlarged project.
