this one would have nothing to do
with the owners and required them to
turn the mine over to him and leave
the island. He took two or three tons
of samples and the lot, in large sacks,

on the wharf for several days while
waiting for a San Francisco boat, in
charge of Waterman night and day
While the samples were on the
wharf three fellows dressed as travel
ers or tourists, with their little dude
canes, strolling around, would come to
these sacks, ask the Waterman a lot
of foolish questions about them, and
all the time they would be stabbing
and punching the sacks with their
dude canes, which were loaded with
chloride of gold. This was repeated
several times, each time changing the
disguise. 1t was so well done that

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
How a Famous Railroad Man Got His First Job

James D. Laying. who died in 1908
at the age of seventy-five years. prob
ably had the longest unbroken expe-
rience in railway management and
operation of any man of HIS time. at
least any who held important execu-
tive position.
He began as surveyor and went
out with the first party that began
to survey the railroad which connect
ed Pittsburgh and Cincinnati with
Columbus, Ohio. That was in 1S49,
and from that time until he retired, in
1900, from active railroad service he
was continuously occupied with rail-
way operation and management. For
years he was stationed at Pittsburgh.
From there he went to Chicago to ac-
cept high responsibility in the man
agement of the Chicago and North
western railroad. When the Wander
bits secured control of the West
Shore railroad Mr. Laying was called
to New York. He was appointed vice.
president and general manager of the
West Shore, and he was the execu-
tive head of that company until, in
1900, it was completely absorbed by
the New York Central.
Mr.. Laying was also for some years
vice-president of the Big Four rail-
road. Much of his personal expe-
rience had been in association with
the development of railway systems
west of Pittsburgh, across Ohio "a
Chicago, Cincinnati and st. Louis
He was of the company of experts
who made tests of the steel rails
brought over from England by j
Edgar Thompson when he was presi,
dent of the Pennsylvania railroad
1t was at Mr.. Layng's suggestion
that the English manufacturers were
suggested to make certain changes In
the manufacture of the rails which
would enable the track layers more
conveniently to handle these heavy
articles.
Mr.. Laying was also the inventor Of
the apparatus universally used by
the linemen employed by railroads by
which they were enabled to cut out
telegraph lines anywhere on the line
and reunite them by very simple
contrivance after the wires had beer
used to convey messages from the
field to the home office.

he regarded as the most essential

his first demonstration at Baltimore
and Washington of the commercial

think [ am safe in saying that the
telegraph was one of the chief factors
at that time in the development of
the railway system west of Pitts
burgh and also of the wonderfully
swift growth of Pittsburgh itself.
II mention this merely by way of
introduction. / had mastered survey
ing and some Of the technical fea-
lures of railroad construction, and I
thought that was sufficient to give
me an opening in one of the railroad
offices in Pittsburgh. Fortified by my
diploma and certain letters of recon-
mendation I called upon the manager
and applied for a place. He asked
me all about myself and when I had
finished telling him he said: "You are
shy of one absolutely essential quail
,fication for q railway manager. You

The annual increase for the last year
is somewhat smaller than the pre-
