THE EASTERN GOLD BELT.
How the Precious Metal Is Planning

Out Near Washington.
There is mineral, bearing belt ex-
tending from Nova Scotia to Georgia,
said $, NJ. Briggs, a veteran prospector,
who has travelled all over the world
practicing his profession, but nowhere
in this belt is there TO be found better
quality of gold ore than in the country
contiguous to Washington. Senator
sawyer's mine near the Great Falls
of the Potomac shows every day that
its gold.producing qualities are increas.

mine in the same locality Is paying at

gold that is found will compare favor.
ably with the best productsof the palmy
days of California in 1919. One draw
back to properly working these mines
is the fact that practical miners are not
in charge; otherwise the output would
be greater.
"A careful survey of the territory
shows that the mines are well backed
too, as they abound with slate and
porphyry, two very important factors
where permanency is desired, and the
fact of the existence of these backings
Is indicative Of lucrative deposits. An

LONDON, Jan. a9.--The Marquis of
Salisbury is naturally terribly annoyed
by the notoriety his brother-in. law, the
Earl of Galloway, has attained by his
trial for annoying girls of tender age.
and despite his amiable nature must
sigh for the GOOD old times when he

porters VIII be Admitted.

New YoBK, Jan. 30 The formal
"at home" of the Ladies' Club to day
will be an event of unusual interest
among the club women of the upper
ten. 1t is understood that no one wear
ing trowsers will be admitted into the
building during the ceremonies, and
that all accounts of the reception must
be got second hand. Reporters will not
be invited. 4 good many members are
married women, but they will leave
their husbands at home.
The popular notion of the Ladies'
Club seems to be one that does injus-
tice to some of the members. Instead
of collecting about in groups around a
poker table, with wine glasses and
cigarettes handy, the members will de-
vote their time to the formation of
friendships and incidentally to hearing
whatever is worth hearing. Gossip is
not forbidden by any Of the rules, and
perhaps this form of entertainment will
be indulged in by some of the older
and less attractive ladies. One of the
members declares that the place is go.

Brown, an attorney and an insurance,

parts unknown, leaving creditors to the
amount of 100000. He has been in
business here since attaining manhood.
Brown figured once in politics and had
been candidate for various offices. He
is alleged to have worked many
schemes, the principal one being to
give a mortgage, then give second
one, ostcnsibly to get money to release
the first, but forgetting to cancel to the
prior one, thus getting two loans ON one
mortgage. Brown leaves large family,
and all their effects have been taken by
creditors with mortgages.
