The Lincoln County leader. [volume] (White Oaks, Lincoln County, N.M.) 1882-189?, 1883-04-14

God was in excess in ancient
times and mostly taken from rivers
in Asia. The fables of Pactolus,
of the golden fleece of the Argon-
auts, of the gold from Ophir, the
history of Ring Midas, etc, all
point to an eastern origin of this
metal. According to Pliny, Cyrus,
returned with $4,000 Roman
pounds Of gold (about $40, 900
000). The treasures exacted from
Persia by Alexander the Great
amounted to $4,000 talents, or
$500, 600, 900. Gold also came
from Arabia and upon the Nile
from the interior of Africa. Pliny
calls Asturias the country in which
the most gold is found. A tablet
bearing the following inscription
was found in Idanha Voiha, Portu-
gal: ''Claudius RUFUS returns his
thanks to Jupiter for having per
mitted him to find $50 pounds OF
gold" These sources Of wealth
have ceased to flow and the endeay-
or of several Englislmen to re-
open them have been unsuccessful.
Bohemia, Mahren, Silesia, aud
Tyrol all have produced gold, and
the receding OF the glaciers has
caused old mines to be uncovered,
while upon the Italian side, at
Monte Rosa, Val Sesina and Val
Ansanca, gold mines are still work
ed today, although with indifferent
success. The only works of any
note are those of Kremnitz, Hun
gary. 1t may, therefore, be safely
asserted that Europe is completely
exhausted in this respect.

What Relation.

We often hear Congressman ac-

but that even ministers are some.
times caught mapping in some of
the minor matters presented Ill the
sacred book, is shown by the
following story told by one who
was on a fishing excursion with
Rev. DIR. Collyer and some other
ministers.
| cannot refrain, he says, from
telling a conundrum that was pro-
pounded to the four ministers when
the bluefish party went ashore at
the Pint" and took their picnic
dinner under the shade of a fisher
mans hut. 1t was:
elf Solomon was the son of
David, and Joab the son of Ter
uiah, what relation was Zeruiah of
Joabl"
Every mar among the clergy
men said father" and when as
surcd that the answer was wrong,
there was much curiosity excited.
Wi you state that again3"
asked Mr.. Collyer, laying down
his fork.
1t was restated.
We'll" said he, "David and
Solomon had nothing to do with it,
but Zeruiah was Joab's father.
NO guess again" was the
reply.
The clergymen all insisted that
the answer was right, Mr.. Collycr
said, HE certainly must have
been his father, and l won't eat
another mouthful till you tell me
where the catch is"
When told that "Zeruiah was
Joab's mother" he was much
amused, and expressed his surprise
that his brethren Of his cloth didn't
know their Bibles better.
