A TRUE GENTLEMAN.
3. r. Macintosh Would Rather be a
Man than an Officer,


Through the gyrations of official
life in the Dominion, a Mr.. B.
Macintosh was sent from Ottawa
to relieve Mr.. J. G. Rykert, collector
of customs for the British govern
ment at the boundary line, it being
the intention of the higher officials
to transfer him to some other port.
Mr.. Rykert has been the faithful
representative of his government
for upwards of twelve years. He
has made himself one of the most
beautiful homes that can be found
in this part of the country. He
has during this time made acquaint-
ances and formed associations that
should be as lasting as life itself.
Nor has Mr.. Rykert been alone in
this. His most estimable and
pleasing wife has shared in the
hardships of the ultra frontier life
and through her labor and taste
largely does their home present its
attractive appearance. Mr.. and
Mrs. Rykert have merited vastly
more than they have received at
the hands of their government.
When Mr.. Macintosh saw the
situation, like true gentleman he
said that he came from Ottawa to
force no one from his home and
that if his government could do
nothing better for him than to COM
pell some one to leave their home
that he might have a public office
he would return to Ottawa and con-
tent himself with serving himself
and not the oeople.
This has the true ring Of honor
in it and shows that they have Of
flee seekers across the line who do
not allow the desire for office to be-
come SO all controlling that they
forget that they are men and owe
some slight allegence to their fellow
creatures. We trust Mr.. Mackin-
tosh will receive an appointment to
a position vastly superior to tie
one he refused to acce t at III, sac
rifce of anothers home and happi-
ness.

More Nahk locations.

Tom Houston and Earl Newton
eturned the first Of tie week from
-lhe Yahk where they have been f.
t Q weeks prospecting for gold.
they made two locations about s
niles from the mouth of the river
and about miles below Snipetown.
The Big Pan and World Wonder,
the loca.ions mad are on bar
and side benches on the west sic,
Of the Yahk and in a ravine about
30 rods in width, the bar proper
contains about 10 acres and is in
reality a ser es Of three bars. as the
river evidently has changed its bee
three times at this place. Ton
brought in about 40 cents worth Of
the yellow metal which they had
taken from four pans Of dirt. The
peculiar formation Of the bed of the
river at this place renders it eX-
ceedingly easy to turn the stream
over the entire 40 acres and als,
wash the side walls Of the gulch,
which are continuous layers o
gravel.
Messrs Houston & Newton will
spend the remainder Of the sum
mer working ON their claims and
will undoubted Y bring on a good
supply Of the yellow metal.

News and Notes.

The crop Of asparagus in South Caro-
lima is larger this season than usual, and
indications point to a larger yield at
nearer southern points.
Fully 10000 queen bees are said to
have passed through the mails last year.
A considerable number of Chinese
have taken to farming on Long Island,
and they grow vegetables much as Chi
nese gardeners do in the Flowery King
dom.
Many modern growers use commercial
fertilizers instead Of manure for pota-
toes.
The combination for tomatoes that
gave the best results at the New Jersey
experiment station was 100 pounds nj
trate of soda, 800 pounds boneblack and
100 pounds muriate of potash.

10 PROSPECT THE YAHk.
Gold Bebs that Pay Well Attract
Prospectors.

On Thursday Of this week num-
Der of parties went out bound for
the Yahk river placer fields. There
are several parties from Bonner's
Ferry in that locality at present,
and the conditions that exist make
placer mining so easy there that be-
fore the close of the season there is
liable to be quite a settlement
somewhere on the river. A party
consisting of Vim. Ainslie, Eugene
Whitney, Allan Bishop and Rev. /.
Wheels started out on Thursday
to be absent three or four weeks.
The theory on which they will
work is that the gold comes from
some of the streams that empty into
the Yahk, and that the river itself
does not flow over the quartz which
bears the gold. This would seem
true from the fact that above a GER
tain distance from the mouth Of the
river no gold is found, nor does the
river flow over any ledge of rock
Immediately above the highest
point where the metal may be-
found. Mr.. Ainslie and his party
will prospect the gulches down
which streams flow into the Yahk.
Should their theory of the source
of metal supply be the correct one
they are liable to find the ledge
which bears the metal, and as the
quantity along the river seems to
increase from year to year the ledge
must be Of good size and carry a
vast amount of gold.
Thomas Houston and E. Newton
who have made locations on the
Yahk as noted elsewhere, returned
to their claims on Thursday also.
they took supplies for three months
and apparatus for working the bars.
They will sink to bed rock and may
turn the water 50 they can snipe
Jhe bed Of the river. In this way
they will get about all there is in
the claim.
There seems to lie nosquest;cn as
to the richness Of the bars along the
Yahk and before the present season
IL srs we expect to see Il lively rusl
to that part Of the country.

AN ISTHMIAN MOUNTAIN CAVES IN

Near Rio PlancO.

Strange and Fatal Seismic Disturbance
Near Rio Planco.
PANAMA, April 12.-La Unidad-
clonal, of Popavan, Oauca, gives the
following details of the sinking of
mountain ridge called Cerro de
Cruz Iona, near Pueblo Quemado,
situated about one and half miles
from the town of Rio Blanco, and
thus describes the geological ple-
nomenon:
"For some days before, prolong-
ed subterranean sounds, sort of
hoarse rumbling and roaring were
heard; indicating that somet1iog
serious was about to occur, and
finally the upper part OF the hill
suddenly caved in, the enormous
quantity of earth descending to and
obstructing the course of the Riv-
ers Guachicono. Molinu, and others.
1t is feared that the overflow of the
rivers will occasion an extensive
lnundation, or that on breaking
away the earth dam whole villages
and valuable properties would be
destroyed.
GAS an Immediate result of this
occurrence twelve persons were
killed, besides a large number OF
horses and cettle. 1t seems only
natural TO attribute this phenomenon
to the eruption of the Solara vol.
cano, which for some time has been
observed to be covered with snow.

A Narrow Escape

Wiikesboro Chronicle,
On Wednesday night of last week
MIR. b. L Greene and Mr.. Roscoe
Folger decided to tske some uu1nine
just before retiring, as they were
suffering with colds. They went into
Mrs. Greere's room-she being out
visiting a neighbor-where Mr.,
Folger took couple Of doses out
OF what he supposed to be quinine
bottle. He had noticed the bottle
on the shelf among others the day
before, and the idea became fixed in
his mind that it was quinine, and
when they went to take it they did
not examine the bottle. They took
something like four or five
grains each, and went upstairs
to bed. Folger soon began to feel
queer and decided to read q
while till the feeling wore off.
They had taken the lamp from
Mrs Greenes room, and soon after
wards she went to the door to get
the lamp. Mr. Green had dozed to
sleep, and as Mrs. Greene called to
him, he somewhat reused, and she
discovered something wrong. This
led to an investigation, and it was
discovered that they had taken
morphine instead of quinire. DR..
Turner was Immediately sent for
and Mr. Kleoppelburg, of Charlotte
who had been visiting the family
that evening, and who had just left
was recalled, and others came in
soon. 1t was near II o'clock, and
from that time till day light it re
quired hard work to keep then
awake and alive. Their suffering
was great, but about daylight they
took turn for the better, and have
entirely recovered.
This was certainly a marrow
escape. If they had extinguishet
the light and dropped to sleep, i,
all probability they would hev
never awakened.

Burned to Death.
WilksborO Chronicle.

MIR. Linville Fox, who lived on
the mountsin above Warrior Greek,
in Beaver Creek township, was
burned so badly on Wednesday of
last week that he died from the
effects. He was fighting fire which
had caught from a field that was
being burned off. He was working
manfully in a hollow where the
leaves were very thick, and the
smoke became so dense that it
blinded and smothered him so that
he could not find his way out. He
called for help, but help came too
late. His clothing and hair were
burned off. He lived only about
two hours. He was about IS or 70
years old.
