The Indian Mound in the Brooke
county, w. Va, fair grounds has
been opened and completely explor-
ed. Only few fragments of human
bones were found, there being traces
that the original body had been wrap
ped in a coarse mating made of
rushes or some similar material.
Fragments of an earthen pot, which
were fitted together complete, were
found, together with two pipes.
There were no evidences of the &C.
ton of fire, and the body had evil
IDENTIFY been laid upon the original
surface of the ground, and the earth

The vaults Of the U. 5. treasury In.scurs

Last week, at the request of
well-known New Yorker, an expert
in vault and safe locks came here and
had long consultation with Treas
urer Huston in regard to the safety
OF the doors of the vaults where are
stored the millions of gold and silver.
He claimed that the present vaults
were unsafe, and that any expert
could get into them with mere cold
chisel and hammer.
To prove it he offered to open one
Of the supposed impenetrable in less
than fifteen minutes. To make the
test of further interest, he said tina,
he could open the door and RELEASE
any one locked inside, and aske,
Treasurer Huston to go in one ofthe
vaults and have it locked.
Mr.. Huston refused because it was
dangerous, for, unless the vaults was
opened in fifteen minutes any one
inside would die. The New Yorker
offered to go inside with Mr.. Huston
and after some persuasion, Mr.. III con
scented and the two were locked in o
vault containing $7,OO0,OO0i in silver.
The expert then began to pick the
lock with a cold chisel and hammer,
and in less than fifteen minutes had
the vault open and the men inside
rescued.
The expert then worked on anoth-
er vault, and in fifteen seconds had
it open.
These vaults were hitherto sup
posed to be burglar proof, and the
expert has startled Mr.. Huston SC
much that it is claimed he wants
Congress to do something immedi
ately to replace the Treasury vault
door with safe locks, etc. The mat
ter has been kept secret, because
the department does not want the
fact that the vaults can be so easily
opened to become known.

Our Gold and Silver.

January the 18th, 1848, forty-two
years ago, Capt. Suffer, a California
miller, discovered shining SUBJ
stance in his mill race. The shining
substance proved to be gold, which
has lasted internationally until the
present day.
The United States mint was estab-
lsh in 1892. From 1892 till 1848
the total gold product of the country
was less than half of a million year.
There was great jump in gold. In
1848 there was produced $40 900 900,
in gold, fifteen and one-half millions
more than the entire output of the
country for fifty-six years previous
to California discovery.
The California gold discovery
marked new era IN the industrial
development of the world. The Aus
tralian gold fields were found some
years afterwards and this was follow
ed by the opening OF the African
gold mines. These have not yet
been fully developed.
The California gold mines increas-
ed their output steadily till 1858.
That year marked the high tide of
gold production in the United States,
with $65, 100000. In the last ten
years, mines throughout the Union
have yielded $30,000,000, and $685.
100000, annually. California now
produces third of the gold of the
country. The second gold produc-
ing State is Montana the third,
Colorado, the fourth, Nevada.
Not till 1858, ten years later than
gold, did our silver production take
great swing forward. Then it
jumped from $50, 900, year, to half
a million. Since then it has increas-
ed steadily. Silver mines through.
out the country yielded in 1888. SO,
10000. In 1888, the combined
product of the two precious metals
amounted to $92.370,000. This has
not been exceeded except in one year,
1878, when the amount was $96, 000,.
900.
The silver State of the Union is
Colorado. which comes in with a
yield Of 100000, in 1888. Mon
lana produced $l7,O00,OO0, the same
year. This new State is the second
in the Union in the production OF
both gold and silver. From United
States mines comes one-third of al
the gold and silver of the world.

IMMIGRATION CHEcKED.-The immi
grafton of colored people from North
and South Carolina to the Valley OF
the Mississippi has been suddenly
checked. Most of these people had
gone to work on the rich river plan
tations between Vicksburg and
Greenville. They had never seen a
food before, and when the high wa
ter came and the levees broke, and
they were compelled to seek refuge
on them or on any high piece of land
they could find, they were naturally
panie-stricken al this difference be-
tween their new and their old homes.
The news Of their destitute condition
has reached the Carolinas and in con
sequence the immigration feverQuick-
Iy abated.

A Quay for Canal Boats.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany and the Pennsylvania Canal
will unite in scheme to convert the
old Porter reservoir at Harrisburg
Pa, into quay for canal-boats load
ed with coal. On the wharf sur
rounding it, tracks extending from
the main line of the Pennsylvania
Road will be laid, and cars will run
over the canal to the siding on a
draw bridge. The Cumberland Val
ley, Northern Central, Pennsylvania
and other companies will send their
cars to this wharf hereafter to be
loaded with coal, instead of borrow
ing cars, with loads in them, from
the Pennsylvania Company, as here
tofore. The Pennsylvania Road will
not only profit in the saving of its
cars, but it will also be spared the
necessity of building an additional
track into the coal districts. 1t will
make business much more lively on
the canal, and give employment to a
large number of men at the wharf
loading the cars. Work on this i'm
provement has already begun, and it
will cost large sum of money to
change the reservoir, which for many
years has been a thing of little use.
