An Ancient Ell Dorado.

capital stock issued and ten stamp

were too low grade for King Solomon's
reduction processes, are being ground
up and they average half an ounce to
the ton. This gold field of Solomon's,
which has been idle all of the centuries
until now, is On the Malay peninsula.
The people who have gone in to de-
velop it have had TO cut seven miles of
road through the jungle and clear sixty
miles Of river. They are just beginning
to realize on their investment. The
company with tho big capital has con-
cession on twenty square miles of this
gold field. The formation is black
slate. A shaft sunk 100 feet ON the lode
has uncovered enough ore to keep the
mill going year. The ore will yield
two ounces to the ton. In one place on
the concession there is q hill 250 feet
high and half mile long.
The company has tunneled into this
hill about half way from the bottom and
found ore ranging from seven penny
weights to seven ounces Of gold. The
reef varies in width from two to nine
feet. Even the loose rocks scattered
about on the hillside yield half an ounce
of gold to the ton. The superintendent
said to the American consul recently:
Il did not think there was anything of
this kind so extensive in the world.

A TEECHCr


Preachers have preached me sermons,
have slept their sermons through;
All my relations have lectured,
Ny friends have lectured too.
My foes have given me warnings,
And have tsleD u Pm not;
Friends and foes and relations
never needed jot.
Their words were the essence of wisdom.
There was nothing they didn't foresees
And not one atom of all they said
Has ever remained with me.
They were staid and pallid and solemn,
They were gray and wrinkled and old;
My teacher has cheeks of roses
And hair OF sfs2 sun's own gold.
Hin words run INTO each other,
kle stammers and bahbles and cries;
He doesn't know he is powerful,
He never dreaGlss he is wise.
But IN three short years he has taught me
More than those graybeards staid
Had taught in the seven and thirty
Before ne came to their aid.
