Nuggets of various sizes had been found, one
being the size OF mans fist. In the north of
Madagascar there was lot of silver mixed

there was very little.
In 1880, Mr.. Kay left johannesburg for the
island, and in his prospecting came across four
rich reefs. After the war, rather dispute,
between the French and Malagese, two conces-
siOns were granted one being to a Frenchman,
which gave him 10000 square miles.
This man had erected 10 stamp Fraser &
Chalmers battery, and last year ordered 60
stamp one. which is now being erected. 1t was
said that he was crushing five ounces to the
ten, and the value of the gold was G3 lis. lid.
per ounce. Prospectors had been to various
parts Of the country and had found reefs which
were said to run from four TO seven ounces per
ton. The rivers contained alluvial deposits
and they calcu lated that some 6.000 or 200
ounces month left the country besides what
went out secretly.
Mr.. GrOssman, lately mineralogist in New
South Wales who had developed some of the
mines in New Caledonia on behalf of Baron
Rothschild & Co, stated that, from the geologi-
cal formation of The Island all minerals in ex-
istebce would be found in Madagascar. Thou

account, the latter. however, meaning chains "

Government put men in chains they did not
feed them.
The forced-labor system had been tried and
found failure, but he was now able TO get an
abundance Of labor at the princely sum of 3D. d
day. He wished. however, to get white labor,
with machinery and British capital, for then
the fields were bound TO succeed.

The area Of the Talbot Dawson concession
was g., 600 square miles. Water was ample,
the rainy season lasting from December to
March, aud the elevation running from the
sea level TO $500 feet. There was fair eli
mate. but on the west and in the interior fever
was known. There was but little doubt OF
there being permanent reefs which ranged
from an ounce TO ii ounces to the ton. In all
the reefs connected with the rivers, good indi-
cations of Glluvial deposits had been found, and
in one creek three-ounce nugget had been Sc
cured.
Copper existed in large quantities. and near
the coast hundreds and hundreds of tons wait
ed TO be smelted. On his concession they had
red "copper" and in 1890 the manager reported
diamonds and silver.
In addition there was petroleum. which had
been known TO exist for several years, but il
was only during the last year that it had been
exploited.

PERFECT BAGGAGE SYSTEM,

The B. & o. Handles $500. 900 Pieces In .
Year, and Only a Few Are Lost.
B. E. Peddicord, chief of the baggage
smashers on the Baltimore and Ohio system,
registered at the Monongahela House
yesterday. He was on one of his regular
visits to the city. "We handle, he said,
'tabout 2,5O0,0o0 pieces in a year, and we
lose on an average about one or two trunks
in that time. The losses occur in out-of-
the-way places, where the agents are care
less, and feel no responsibility resting upon
them. The baggage system, you see, is
tanned. The check plan is the best, and
We are always ready to adopt new ideas
and regulations
'The baggage smasher is misncmer:
Our claims in year for damage will
amount to about 800. When the men are
careless and responsible for loss they are
fined, and after they pay few times they
are very careful Since we limited the
amount of baggage in one piece to $50
pounds our losses have been slight Before
the order was issued drummers were in the
habit of putting 400 to 500 pounds in a
trunk. The men couldn't handle them,
and if one of them fell short distance it
was sure to be broken. Drummers under
stand now that 25O pounds is the limit, and
they divide up their baggage. The result
is that trunks are seldom damaged. You
ought to see some of the baggage we handle.
Many trunks are ready to fall to pieces, and
they come apart of their own weight

THREATENED BY A FLOOD.

The Pottsville Dam May Give Way at Any
Instant-Only S'x Feet Of Water Drawn
on in go Hours-People Still ON the Hills
Seeking Safety.
PoTTsvILLE, PA, June 22.-After 20
hours of work at drawing off through the
pipes the water in the immense leaking
reservoir of the Pottsville Water Company,
in the st. Clair Valley, only six feet of water
has been taken out, and the danger of the
entire breast giving away at any instant
has increased. Experts and the builders of
the dam frankly confess that they cannot
understand how the bank is holding to-
gether so long, under the wear of the escap-
ing waters
The people Of St. Clair and surrounding
towns are still on the hills where they spent
the night Pottsville and other safe places
entertained hundreds of them last night
St. Clair Councils are being urged to end
the suspense by the use of dynamite, and
the excitement is beyond description.
The Reading Railroad Company has sus-
pended traffic on the branch in the threat
ened valley, and has removed good part
of its engines and rolling stock to safe
points. Large construction gangs are ready
for instant call and large quantities of new
material have been brought to neighboring
pointA There are no flood gates to the
dam, the only outlet being two 12-inch
service mains, and these can only release
the water in about double the volume
that is running in from the feed streams
