COLD FIELDS OF AMOoa.

4 letter from St. Petersburg n the Journal des Debats gives an interesting description of the new California, as the new gold mines discovered in the valley of the Djolgute river are called. This valley is upon the Chinese bank of the Amoor. opposite the Russian colony of Tgnachino, and, as the soil is very marshy and there are no roads, 1t is only accessible in winter. Gold was first discovered there in May. 1881, and it soon at tracted a great many adventurers, the earliest corners being Russian deserters and escaped convicts from Siberia. and by the month of January in last year there was a Slopy of 9,004rasians, the total

The gold fields, which are 25 miles Tn length by three miles broad, are said to be very rich, and seven pounds of gold are obtained from thirty-two huudred-weight of gravel, even with the primitive mode of wash ing adopted there.

NEW YORK, Oct 22-Henry George wrote
the following reply TO the letter in which
Abram S Hewett declined his challenge 10

Your refusal TO meet me in discussion leaves
me no alternative hut to think that YOU de

these, and that You base your hopes
OF election not upon an appeal
to the higher qualities of vour fellow citizens
