up, the thought rarnti) to me that never
had 1 been in a position of such utter
helplessness and dependence. Let
the figures given above should fail to
convey the exact idea let me suggest a
comparison which occurred to me
while crossing this span.

ust about one mile from the flattery,
and the height from the ground to the

serves, MO feet Now piU sis Pulltaer

from the battery in a little bucket,
smaller than an ordinary clothes
hamper, and go to the top of that mass
suspended on a single rope, and if you
a a roan will not recognise your insig
nificance nothing will ever bring yon to
that realising sense.
lly this time I had entered Into the'
hill grandeur of the scene and all our
rousncss disappeared, strange to say,
right at the most dangerous part of the
(onrney. Four hundred feet below me
I could see a train of those most abused
tnd yot invaluable little burros slow,
'.y and painfully climbing the nar
v: trail laden with supplies and tim
bers for a neighboring mine. Two miles
iown the valley lay Telluride, looking
ike a child's plaything, and still fur
ther away miles and miles of dazallng
mountain peaks against the blue sky
f Colorado bluer than Italy ever
i rvamed of, and about me the most
unique and picturesque colorings poep
ng out from the uncovered patches of
the mountain.
The ily was absolutely perfect, the
un warm, and, despite th constant
ianger of loaded buckets bresking
way and dashing all of us to the abyss
hclow and heedless of the possibility of
many things which might happen, I
thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful'
riew. I am free to confess, however,
to a feeling as though sn intense strain
nad been removed when I finally
rossed that gigantic tower and found'
myself only a hundred feet or so from
terra Crmv and only then did I discov
er that my hands had been clutched on
that bucket with a deathlike grip and
err re wet with perspiration, while with
my feet I had been exerting a tremen
dous pressure against the front end.
We soon came in sight of the upper
terminal, and upon arrival there I
found the men had decided to remain.
accepting the slight reduction, and.
there would be no party to reward me
for my tripif indeed acy reward other
than the trip itself were necessary.
Let me add. howevvr, tiat the mouth
)f the mine was still a mile and a half
further up the mountain, and that ths
:re is brought from the mine to the top
.if the tram by burros, each carrying
two sacks weighing one hundred aad
twenti-flve pounds eaoh. Well, my
mission being fruitless, ve reentered
our buckets on the down trip. I feel
perfectly sure that had the order beea
reversed and the down trip come first I
sro'iid have backed out at acy cost, but
my up-journey gave me confidence, and
it was with considerable equanimity
that I gared down to the tiny terminal
two thousand feet below.
As Mr. Grot n entered his bucket I re
marked to the man who fastened it in
place: "Get that good and tight, my
tvr."
He answered: "I am a thousand
times more anxious about this thiiig
than yon, and will not brethe freeiy
till you're down.
I then learned from him that since
he opened the tram twenty-fire thou
sand buckets had patted a given point,
with only three runaways. I did ot
then go into the detail of the damage
done, but climbed into my bucket once
more, figuring the number of times
three goes into twenty-fire thousand.

fxtering upon the fourteen-hundred-f.iot

to dead stop right at the worst place cs
the line. The stoppage was bet nv
mectary, aod was dne pterpoaely to

There, on the same spaa, were the
tiny buoketa, with two other boys, and
the thought case to me of the hor

Ktw York, Aug. 1. Ths origta of ths
reports that bars been In circulation for
several days that the Lackawanna was
selling cut rata tickets to Chicago for $10
was explained yesterday. It appears that
a certain F roadway "scalper" baa beea
selling Lackawanna special excursion tick
eta to the Fair for $10, arranging with ths
purchasers for ths surrender of lbs return
coupons to his agent la Chicago.
In order to protect himself tht "scalper"
expected to send a representative on the
train with his customers to collect the
coupons at ths end of the journey. This
msa was not allowed by ths railroad offi
cials to go with ths party, but the tickets
looked all right and wars accepted as far
aa Scranton. There, on closer Inspection,
it ass sveo that tht return rupous from
Chicago to Buffalo had beea cut off and
the rest of tht ticket pasted together aain.
The "scalper" evidently was afraid to
trust hit customers and bad taken this
meant to make sure of getting tht cost
pries of the tickets bark by tbe salt of th
coupou extracted, even it the rest wert cot
return! to him according to agreement.
Tbe passengers who held these mutila
ted tickets ware put off the train at Scran
too and are now demanding satisfaction
from the road. At they are lelieved to be
Innocent hoMert tbey will probably not be
allowed to tuffer from tht "scalper's"
trick.
