TOWERS RICHLY LINED WITH GOLD.
'Wealth In tho Old Chimney Where tbe
Baunu Ores Were Refined.
, For nearly a quarter of a century two
tall towers have stood at the foot of
Hyde street, near Leavenworth, almost
on the edge of the beach. One rises to a
height of 110 feet and the other reaches
more than fifty feet in the air. "They
are both very broad and thick,' and they
have brick enough in them to construct
several buildings.
They are relics of the flush old days
of the Coins tock mining era, when
Flood, O'Brien, Fair and others banded
together and erected the famous Selby
Smelting and Refining works. There,
from tho bonanza days of 1860 to as late
as 1883, the groat chimneys belchod
forth fire and smoke. Thoy never stop
ped. Wreaths of flame and volumes of
soot circled in the air over the domes at
night time, while hundreds of men
toiled in and about the works, cutting
and shoveling ore and slag, molding
bars of bullion and' refining it to pure
silver, gold, lead and copper.
In 188.1 the Selby company concluded
to move its works. It was known that
tho old underground flue that connected
the furnaces with the chimneys, as well
as considerable of the ground all about,
was permeated with gold and silver set
tlings and solid metal. On the advice
of a skilled European expert the com
pany dug up the ruins as well as a large
amount df soil to the depth of five or et
feet and transferred it by ton9 to t
new works at Port Costa. There tk
stuff was run throngh the works, and fc
is said realized not less than $300,000.
Selby & Co. did not dream that in tk
towers which were left standing and te
tho million tons of slag and JsirecaC
permeated soil iaach wealth remained.
The t'rcimd was sold and nothing was
thought st it for a long tiaao.
Souio time ago VP. B. Cluff, ths sreil
kncxii merchant and politician oX this
city, acquired the ground on which tks
old works and the present slag pile and
chimneys remain. It consists of liv
fifty-vara lots, or 2i acres. Meantime
he had several experts make examina
tion of the brick towers and the sur
roundings. They reported that thi
metal and black dust of the towers wat
a veritable mine of wealth, and that tin.
grimy matter that filled tho interstices
and in one form or another permeated
tli 3 brick reeked with valuable minerals.
Also that tho gray slag which had been
carted away from the blazing furnaces
in" primitive days contained large quan
tities of gold and silver and should bo
worked- over. : Promptly thereupon Air.
CloGE secured tho silver and gold lined
towers and tho debris. He is said to
have paid $40,000 for tho chimneys alone.
His object is to work them up and get
the money ont of them.
"I do not think I will have any trouble
in getting tho gold, silver and other
mineral out," ho said yesterday. "It

Mr. duff's intention is to tear down
the great towers, which have so long
been landmarks in the history of the
city, and which can be seen for miles out

from them their gold and silver lining

A Judge's Jocose Retort. '
"1 think the late Judge Devens," said
Mr. Arthur Macy to me the other day,
"was the greatest after dinner speaker 1
ever heard. 1 remember a striking in
stance of his readiness in jocose retort.
Ho made a live minute speech at a club
dinner, and in tho course of his remarks
he established his claim to his place at
the dinner by iustancing his authorship
of a large volume that was made, up of
tragody and comedy and of many start
liag phases some dramatic, some ludi
crous, some pathetic of human life and
nature. '
"Tho book was the 143d volume of
Massachusetts laws. Immediately a
member was on his feet and thanking
the judge. Ho had been on a jury once,
and tho justice who was trying the case
said that a verdict should be rendered
unhesitatingly in accordance with a de
cision that was contained in that very
volume of which the judge had just
spoken. The verdict was rendered im
mediately and tho juryman secured a
good night's rest, for which he was
thaukful to Judge Devens and his book.
"Without a moment's. . hesitation,
Judge ' Dovens replied, 'If the gentle
man will imitate the example of the jus
tice of whom he speaks, and peruse the
entire volume that 1 have spoken of, 1
assure him that he will secure many a
good night's rest. "Boston Globe. . .

Tbe Wonderful Chinook
A correspondent at Calgary 'writes as ,
follows: "On Wednesday night, Jan. SO, !
this part of Canada witnessod ono of
those pecnliar phenomena called a Chi
nook. The day was aa ordinary winter
day clear, bright and frosty. About 8
p. m., without a eign of warning, a gale
sprang up in an instant. Those inside
rushed out to see a blizzard, but instead
they were met by a clear sky and a hot,
soft wind. In a few minutes the ther
mometer jumped from a few degrees
i a . n . . mi 1
HDore zero ra uDove. xua winu was
from a point or two north of west.' A
change so sudden, though unusual, has
occurred before. But what seems strange
is that during all of this time the ther
mometer was 40 degs. below zero at
Laggan, a little over 100, miles west of
here, and in the mountains. A differ
ence of 80 degs. of heat, in 100 miles
must be something wonderful. ' Yet the
wind, which was blowing a gale, and at
times almost a hurricane, was blowing
directly from Laggan. . The wind and
the heat was maintained during the
greater part of the night, and .the cold
was intense at . the . other . point . for all
that time. Now, the question-1 would
like to ask the learned men of the east
is, Where does the chinook wind come
from?" Toronto Mail. .
A Plesk for Working Women.
i I think that in large housed and fac
tories, where a number of women, are
employed on the fourth and sixth doom
they should be carried up in tbe paraen
ger instead of tbe freight elevator, an u
now the way in many places. Few
customers come in before tt o'clock, and
all the sewing women and girls can be
up beforu that hour. - A passenger ele
vator is safer. I am sorry to learn that
in some large places a number" of poor
sewing girls have to walk ap six ' Boors
while passenger and freight elevators ar
running all day half empty. 1 have
much sympathy for the great number of
good, honest young women who toil hard
all day in this big city for a living.
They should be paid bettor and- treated
better too. Cor. New Y$rk Advertiser.
