A Story About Bismarck.

An advance copy of the third volume
of H. Y. Sybel's History of the Ger
man Empire" has been received. Pro-
badly the most interesting chapters
refer to the relations between Prince
Bismarck and Count Rechberg, the
Prussian and Austrian Ambassadors
respectively at the German (Frankfort)
Diet. Prince Bismarck (then Herr Won
Bismarck Schonhausen) soon found out
that Count Rechberg was hot-tempered
and passionate, but in the main honor
able and good-natured. Count Rech-
berg, on his side, cordially disliked
Prussia and its astute representative,
but did his best all the same to keep on
amicable terms with his colleagues.
Both officially and socially there was,
however, plenty of friction between
the two. On one occasion things came
to such a pitch that Count Rechberg,
entirely losing his self-control, passion
ately exclaimed: Zone of my friends
shall wait on you in the morning.
why all this unnecessary delaY?''
Herr Won Bismarck coolly replied. I'm

pistols handy. Let US settle the matter
immediately. While you get the things
ready, shall write a report about the

killed, | request you to forward to

ANCIENT GOLD MINING,
Inter citing Disco veries Throwing Light
Upon the Antiquity of the Work.

Intei citing Disco veries Throwing Light
Upon the Antiquity of the Work.
Pail Mall Budgetl
The magic fascination of the idea of buried
treasure is as strong to-day as ev er it was.
The Knight expedition, which was to re-
cover the hidden treasures of Lima Cathe-
dral, has come to nothing; but the shock
will have no effect on the sanguine people
who expect King Solomon's mines to be re-
opened in the heart OF Africa and Mr. Rider
Haggsrd to be translated into sober fact
Many theories more or less faneiful have
from time to time been p nt forward con-
cerning the celebrated treasures of Monte
yuma, and their alleged hiding places have
been as numerous as the birthplaces of the
author of the Odyssey. According to the
Mexican local press a curious discovery has
lately IJeen made in the State of Chiapas,
which. while, doing something to clear up
the mystery will also prove the immense
anti guilty of gold mining in Mexico.
For a long time the superinte ndent of the
great Santa Fe copper mine was perfectly
satisfied that the mine was abscl utely virgin,
since none of the immense masses OF copper
ore cropping out in all directions showed
the slightest trace Of having been touched.
True, there was one shallow hole near BY,
which, however, might easily have been
sunk by some wandering prosPector during
the last few years. Lately, however, it was
found necessary to grade out hillside,
some 200 yards from the mine. The Hill
was densely wooded, but. after telling the
timber and excavating two feet of black
vegetable mold, traces of ancient workings
were discovered, resulting in over so meters
OF an ancient dump being unearthed. This
dump was found to contain blocks of<fich
guld-bearing copper ore thrown away as
useless. The Shaft of an old mine was also
found. The whole workings appear to be
entirely separate from the Santa Fe mine,
and in a lower formation.
Close following on this interesting dis
| covery CO mes news from the Victoria mine,
half a mile southwest of the Santa Fe.
Here, also, there was not the slightest trace
of anY human being having worked on the
! mountaln-not a dump, not a loose stone,

trees. A tunnel was being driven to cross

20 feet of ore. when, suddenly, an ancient
working was blasted into. Three small,
broken grinding-stones, which might well
have been used Ior maize, were found. The
exploration OF these old mines will be most
inte resting work, and is expected BY author
ities TO throw fresh light on the meshods, as
we'll as the sources, of ancient gold mining.
