GOLD MINEs.-Charlottc, n. c., Nov. 10
Great excitement prevails in the gold mining
circles throughout Western North Carolina
on account of the heavy gold find Just made
6y Tebe Saunders in Montgomery County.
Saundeas now has hundreds of hands at
work, and is getting gold by the peck. lie
gets so much gold that absolutely no pre-
tense is made at weighing it, except ON a
large PAIR OF groccrs' scales. The find has
created profound sensation, and the people
in Montgomery and adjoining Counties are
digging for gold by the hundreds. Experts
VINO have examined the gold fields in this
section say there is MS much gold i'm Western
North Carolina grounds as California ever
dreamed of. One mine alone, near here, is
SAID to be worth $10O0,0O0. Syndicatcs are
being organized, with plenty of cash. 70
open up these mines, and DEVELOPMENTS are
expected at IN early day that will startle the
world. '"0
THE STORY CONFIRMED.
Raleigh, N c., Nov. 15-The Carolina

investigate the rishors of the important yold
find there, and he reports that all flle state.
ments about fabulous wealth having been
discovered there are true.
Inc nnd is said to be the richest ever dis
covered in the State. Three parallel veins
have been found, about half an inch in thick
ness, only few feet apart. One pans out
large per cent. of pure gold and the
Wdtehmdn's representative asccrtaincd that
nushel of solid gold had already been

The Proposed Railway to Alaska.
iE'ronl the Engineering News. ]

tF'rom the Engineering News.l
 The proposed railway to Alaska is being actively discussed in British Co lumbia and the far Northwest, and engineers whe know something of the topography of the region to be tray srsgd are considering possible routes On the south the Spokane Fall and Northern Railroad is now under con struction from Spokane Fails, Wash, north to the international boundary in tho Kootenal Valley. A charter has been secured for railway in the Kootenal Valley from the boundary worth to Revelstoke, on the Canadian Pacific, about 200 miles. North ot this, along the tributaries of the Co., lumbia, are valuable gold deposits, which have never been largely worked on account of tho rigor of the climate and the difficulty of securing supplies. From the headwaters of the Columbia it is proposed to cross to the head waters of the Fraser, and follow the valley of that stream to Fort George, thence to the Peace River Valley, and thence to the headwaters of the Yukon, the great river of Alaska. which stream would be followed to its mouth near Behrlng Straits The scheme IS an attractive one in its engineering features, for to build railway for 5000 miles along the backbone of the continent would give plenty of oppor- tunity for bold achievements and in- genuity in overcoming obstacles. AS a route fer summer tourists, fond oi mountain scenery, 1t would certainly be unrivaled. As to the vital ques, ten, Will it pay? however. it must be said that until there Is prospect of a very much greater local traffic than II seems now possible to secure from any i source, the road would he practically waste ot the funds expended in its construction.

Electricity in Mining.

The installation and successful oper- atien of an important electrIc power plant to be used in the operations of mining and metallurgy, as that re- gently installed by the Brush eompa- ny, marks an era Tn ths applications ef electric power and demands more than ordinary attention from the new problems met and overcome ia its es- tablishment, from its successful opera t0n, and on account of it's being one of the first applications on a large scale of electricity as a power convey CT, for mining and Retallurgical work. We predict, however that novelty will be d feature of such applications bu. short tune. From the very conditions of mining work, electricity is pre-emi- nently adapted 10 it's Nesd;, and the advanced thinkers among the mining men of the country long ago turned their attention to the electrlc motor as likely 10 become their important ally in the inning work of the future.

On tue train from the south this morning, says the Las Vegas Optic, Harry J. Franklin, of this city, one of the best detective officers ia the United States, came up wlth prisoner who IS badly wanted in Lawrence by two or three insurance companies. lis name is believed to be John Hillman, of Lawrence, Kansas, and ten years ago it was claimed by his wife or wdsw, as the case may be, that he was dead and she wanted the heavy insurance, S35 5000, on his life. The alleged Hillman has been fer some years past prospecting in Sonora, Mexico, and at the time he was ar rested he was in Fairbank, Ariz. Mir. Franklin feels sure that he has the right man and he doesn't often make mistakes of this kind He has five atiidayits given by citizens of Tomb stone to prove the Identity of Hillman, and could have procured many mere. Hillnan gives very clear account of his life up to 1876. but right there no puts period and IS as dumb as an oyster as to his subsequent career. He is stubbornly silent and will nst talk about matters pertaining to the charge upon which he was arrested. He looks to be a man about fifty years of age has keen eyes and iren-gray monsLache and hair. He Is evidently a shrewd man, knows how to keep hls mouth shut and is probably tho lead ing actor in ona of the most sensa- tional dramas in the hlstery ef Kansas. Conductor Morris, who took out the train this morning upon winch HiiI- man went east, knew the nan and his wife ten years age in Lawrence, kan saS, and after regarding him atten- j lively at the depot this merning, said "Well, he looks a goed deal like Hill-

The recent strike m the Mountain View mine presages new era ofpros- perlty for the Plnos Altos district, and conclusively demonstrates that that which hitherto has hcen consid cred a mere pocket, is a strong continuous vein of ore, extending the entlre length of the shaft, be3ac5 improving in quality and quantity as depth is gain ed, The ere, besides carrying coarse native gold, contains tellurium, and by some it is thought that the raro gold bearing mineral sipiaolite, is also associated with the ore. Suffice its value as tested in ore assay in which there was no free gold visible, gave the magnificent result of $23,000 per ton ln gold and $29S in silver. An average of the richest part or the vein gave in gold $l3l0 and silver $500 per ton, while an average of crevice ma ter,al principally quartz and tale, yielded at the rate of $95 per ten in gold and silver. The strike has caused quite a ripple of excitement in the camp, and it IS needless to add, that Mountain View stock on the New Or leans market jumped from 75 cents to Sl.50, within an hour after the receipt of the telegram Silver City (N.

A Pulpit Millionaire.

x. Y. Letter to Philadelphia Times,l
 A minister of the gospel who is daily seen on Fifth Avenue taking an airing and enjoying the promenade is Dr. John Hall, who has made a mil lion cut of the pulpit. and who is i'll every sense the fashionable clergyman of tine day. If you happen in his church on a Sunday morning and know the occupants of the varlous Fews, and know also their financial rating in Wall street, you could count enough money kings to represent an aggregate fortune of S400,000,000. First and foremost in the congrega7 ton is little old man with brown reddish beard who is responsible for Dr. John Halls coming to America, for be it known that Hall is an Irish. nan, and like many others of that favored land has copious flow of words. This little old man is Robert Bonner Bonner heard him in Dublin one beautiful Sunday morning, and was so struck by his oratory that he invited him to come to America. This Dr. Hall dId in time, and to-day he IS the leading pulpit orator of this city, with an income ranging anywhere from S75,000 to $l00,0O0; S20,000 is paid hlm as pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church; Sl0,000 more is paid him by Mir Bonner, or rather his sons, for a weekly contribution to their story paper.
 His wealthy congregation gives him Sl0,000 a year more in gifts, and the wealthy young men and the wealthy papas of the upper ten in New York pay him magniicently for his services in marrying their sons and daughters. He has managed by investment to ac- cumulate sl 100000. yet he glves hb- erally 0 the poor and supports namer- GUS charities. There is, perhaps, ne 1 preacher in tba United States who is so ujependsnt a. he IS.

Che outcome of the Conemaugh dis aster will probably be legislation pro- vidng for systematic inspection of dams. It is all very well to speak of absolute safety and the impossiblllty of accident, but something more tam gible than mere assurance IS needed. Some dams have not only sluice gates to relieve undue pressure, but have also an automatic arrangement where by the water itself, on reaching high water mark, forces them open, greatly reducing, if not absolutely removing, the risk. Such safety valves should be insisted upon in every case, and public opinion will probably be strong enough to enforce heir adoption.
