Gold In Ancient TImaa

Gold was in excess in ancient times, and
mostly taken from the rivers in Asia. The
faoles of Pactolus, of the golden fleece of
the Argonauts, of the gold from Ophir, the
history of King Midas, ETC., all point 10 an
eastern origin of this metal. According to
Pliny, Cyrus returned with $4,000 Roman
pounds of gold ($10,0 0,0O0) The treasures
exacted from Persia by Alexander the Great
amounted TO 35l 900 talents, or 500, 0O0, 600
Gold also came from Arabia, and upon the
Nile from the interior of Africa. Pliny
called Asturias the country in which the
most gold is found. A tablet bearing the
following inscription was found in Idanha
Velha, Portugal: "Caudius Rufus re-
turned his thanks to Jupiter for having per.
mitted him to find one hundred and thirty
pounds OF gold" These sources of wealth
have ceased TO flow, and the endcavors of
several Englismen to reopen them have
been unsuccessful Bohemia Mahren,
Silesia and 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 Anssca, gold mines are still worked
to-day, although with indifferent success.
The only works OF any note are those of
kremnitz, Hungary. II may, therefore, he
safely asserted that Europe is completely
exhausted in this respect. Popular Science

Wheelan. The public present in court
to-day joined in Kissing Carey. The only
remarkable feature so far has been the
callousness OF Carey while under examine
ton. After the reading of Carey's deposit
tlon man named Neil deposed to his see
ing cab in the park on the day OF the
murder, and identised Fitzharris as the
driver. A laborer gives similar evidence.
The four occupants of the car We're then
placed IN front Of the dock for Identification
by Gooden, the park ranger.
AsCarey passed the dock James Mullet
struck AT him and succeeded in touching
his head. Carey turned to expostulate, but
was pushed across the table by detective,
After the prisoners had been committed,
the crown counsel said that James Smith
would be examined at the trial. The arti-
Gle IN the Freeman's Journal referred TO by
Carey to-day, spoke of the desrability of
thorough change OF officials at the castle,
which Was an "augean stable" Carey left
the court at the door furtherest from the
dock. Golden identified Thomas Aifrey,
as the fourth man on the car containing the
murderers when it was driven from
the park. Carey produced copy OF the
Freeman's Journal to confirm the state
ment in regard to the determination of the
consplrators to murder Burke. His action
created a sensation. 1t is expected that the
prisoners will be tried in March. Murphy
says he hoped TO be able to produce the
man known as mo. l." Theprisoners were
remanded for formal committal. The
crown counsel, after the committal of the
prisoners, said it was with great reluctance
the crown had accepted the evidence of
Carey, who might have been the director
and instigator of the tragedy, 1t had been
done, however, in the interest of the public
safety and the public good. Hetrusted the
executive had thereby obtained power to
perfectly penetrate this fearful organization
and bring to justice the plotters as we'll as
the perpetrators of the murders.
