Kansas City, who was here a week
ago, looking at the claims referred to.
The ore yielded an average Of SIS &C

from the very surface, and shovel

without any sorting whatever. The
test is therefore satisfactory. Some
thing remarkable about the ore is the
almost entire absence of sulphurels

who were idling about in crowds, and when
he found about 200 at the depot to see the

went over and sat down on barrel and
conspired with himself how to make them

hundred shouts arose, a mob moved down

alone. Next forenoon we passed some of

to the rear of the car and encouraged
them by calling:

The First Thanksgiving for the New

That was a memorable Thanksgiving

discovery to Palos and hastened to meet the
Spanish sovereigns at Barcelona. Columbus
was a man of faith. God made me a mes

Columbus fastened to Barcelona TO meet
the Court. His journey was tIiumphal
march.
1t was the middle of April the month of
nightingales and flowers. Columbus enter
ed the city amid music, bells, and shouts of
triumph. Ferdinand and Isabella, seated
under a superb canopy, received him as a
viceroy rather than an admiral, and re
quested him to relate to them the history of
his voyage. He did so, surrounded by the
Indians whom he had brought with him,
with their gay plumes, and offerings of
tropic birds and fruits
As he ended his wonderful narrative,
there arose a burst of music and bore away
to heaven the thoughts of the soverigns and
mobiles and people, already thrilled and melt
ed by the most marvellous tale ever told of
human achievement
1t was the chapel-choir of Isabella.

The majestic Latin hymn swept on until
it reached the sublime words;
"Hoiy, hoiy, Lord God Of hosts, heareR
and edrth are J,W Of Thy gIory.'
The great audience was filled with costa

happy moment of Colulnbus's life-the first
