ryphaI, OF course. but precisely TO the
point. One Of Mr.. Csrnegie's friends
called on him. SO the story goes, and
was shown by him through the RESI-
denee on Fifth avenue, then recently
completed. After they had looked over
the great hall the marble bath, the
great organ. and the long library over
looking Central Park. the visitor turned
to Mr. Carnegie and remarked:
This must have cost you a lot OF
money. Mr.. Carnegie.'
To tell you the truth" Mr.. Carnegie
replied. 1T didn't cost me a cent"
How do you make that out?' asked
the astonished guest.
1T was like this Mr.. Carnegie re-
piled. Il bought this block of ground
from Fifth to Madison avenue a number
Of years ago. Its value increased rapidly.
When / was ready to build, / sold
off the Madison avenue end and got
enough for 1t TO pay me what / had
spent for the whole plot
''But that didn't pay for the fine house
you have here" retorted the guest.

tions In Europe with this voltage, none In
this country. and the Butte installation
will be the first Of any magnitude to util-
ize such high voltage in direct current.
The entire electrical equipment Of this
road will be supplied by the General Elec-
tric company and the work is now under
way TO build the powerful electric loco
motives. the substation and auxiliary sp-
paratus The overhead trolley construc-
tion will begin as soon as the frost is out
OF the ground and IL is hoped to have the
line electrified well within the year.
Fifteen powerful direct current locomo-
tives. each weighing seventy-five tons are
beiig built TO take care OF the freight
movement between Butte and Anaconda
consisting principally Of ore trains. These
locomotives win run in groups Of two.
hauling $500 ton trains against a ruling
grade of 0.3 per cent on the main line.
while single locomotives will make up
trains In the yards and spot cars at the
smeiters. Two additional locomotives OF
identical design. except for a high speed
gear ratio. Will be used to haul the regu-
lar passenger trains between the two
cities.
The Butte. Anaconda and Pacific now
employs twenty-eight locomotives.
twenty OF which will be replaced by cleo
trio locomotives. the other five to be re-
tained for temporary service on Butte
hill.
The railroad will secure power from the
Butte Electric and Power company. A
substation will be located at Butte and
another at Anaconda and each station
win be equipped with two 1000 kilowatt
motor-generator sets and auxiliary ap-
paratus. The locomotives viii draw cur
rent from overhead catenary trolley con-
struction. The advantage Of high volt
age direct current Is shown from the fact
that the two substations viii be located
twenty-six miles apart and the amount
Of feeder copper required is very moderate
even though the trains weigh 350C tons
and the ruling grade is o.s per cent.

said to be in the neighborhood of s20,-

From 1901 to 1905 the list OF gifts ag-

average Of se2.Ooo.ooo for each OF the five
