FORTUNES IN AMBERGRI5.

A Peculiar Substance Worth Over Five
Dollars an Ounce.
While nearly all precious substances
have been more or less sought for by
adventurous mon, it remained for the
present year to produce regular hunt
er of ambergris. Mr.. j. McCauley,
who recently arrived in San Francisco
from New Guinea with quantity of
ambergris, was SO pleased with the
financial returns from his trea sure
that he intends to go back fully
equipped to make a business of gather
ing the valuable substance. He is
quite confident of making fortune,
for his operations will be carried on
in places where Europeans are I'M
known and where he will have the en-
tire field to himself. Along the New
Guinea coast, where he spent several
years, Mr.. McCauley says that amber
girls i'll Jumps of all sizes, some weigh
ing over one hundred pounds, can be
found in the water and washed ashore.
The difficulty is to get it to market,
where it is worth over SIS an ounce. 1t is
to overcome this that he is making ar
rangements to hunt for it in syste-
matte manner. He brings with him
many stories of how men have made
fortunes by lucky find. One who
took quantity of it to England real
lied no less than $4,000, while many
others derived large sums. The only
trouble with Mr.. McCauley's scheme is
that he may kill the goose that lays
the golden eggs, for ambergris owes
| its commercial value to its rarity, and
if he should drug the market the price
would soon begin to fall. In fact, am
| bergris is no longer valued so highly
as it once was. Before DR.. Swediaur
| discovered that it was a morbid secre-
| ton formed in the intestines of the sper-
maceti whale, many fabulous stories
| were in circulation about its wonderful
virtues. At the present day, except in
the east, it is no longer used in phar-
macy, but it is entirely confined to per-

At the Root of the Matter.

DIR. Telyafus, of Tifis, has a project
for the total determination of the choE
era bacillus. The habitat Of this
bacillus is the delta Of the Ganges.
The delta is polluted by the remains of
the dead cast into the sacred waters,
and among these remains the bacilli
are generated. It would not be easy
to induce the people to give up their
ancient custom of disposing of the
dead, but Telyafus believes that the
British government possesses the pow
er to compel them to adopt cremation
under condition that they be allowed
to cast the ashes into the Ganges.
Then, by draining the delta and plant
ing eucalyptus trees in 1t, he thinks
that the dreaded bacillus might be
wholly destroyed, so that it would
never again ravage the world.

To tho Public in General and
CuStfmsTS in Particular:

1t is new nearly three years since we
outgrew our present large quarters. The
great volume of business done is surprise
to ourselves as we'll as to the public. That
such business could be done in a city of
this size is without precedent, so far as We
can learn. AND IT Is NOT MUSHROOM
GROWTH. 1t has been built up step by step
from the,bottom. 1t Is the logical lrssult
and the .outgrowth of sound bushes
principles. 1t is the result of putting
consciencs into business, quality into
goods and words into actions. In these
days, when nine -tenths of the men who
90 into business believe that the people
must be humbugged iniorder to be success
full in dealing with them, 1t is refreshing
as we'll as encouraging to the youth ofours
land to be able to demonstrate that such
is not the truth. The old fashioned
truths taught at our mothers knee.are
still the ones to follow.
We have been compelled to seek larger
quarters, but we will be in business at the
old stand for some mo tbs to come, South
Main and Grand streets. Large bodies
move slowly and it will be 30 in our case
The weather of late has retarded our pro-
gress in the way of delivering goods, but
we have dons our best to satisfy our Gus
TONERS, and they have been kind in over
looking some delays that teased them a
great deal, and for which we are very
sorry. We have never had such variety
of gccds before, and the low prices are
surprising everybody. But this is because
we buy in such large quantities. Our
Quaker Ranges continue to be the favor
te; they burn less coal and bake the best
of any stove in the world, and we give
guarantee with every one of them. Our
various lines, Carpets, Crockery, Stoves,
Ranges, Woodenware, Pictures and Fur
niture were never so complete, and prices
were never so low. Our unde' taking de-
partment is model of excellence, and
everybody is attended with great care
and consideration. Night calls are
answered at SO Grand street, where two
night clerks are always in attendance.

Stumbling on Fortunes.
HOW GOLD MINES HAVE BEEN DIsCOv.
Erred BY MERE CHANCE.

From the Boston Globe.
Gold was discovered in California
in 1913, and in Colorado in 1858.
The discovery was accidental in both
cases, and the fact created the impres-
sion that mines were ''lying about
loose" Adventures drifted about in
hopes Of stumbling upon a mlne.
Here are some instances Of lucky
finds:
Three men while looking for gold
in California discovered the dead body
of man who evidently had been
prospecting"
"Poor fellow said one of the trio,
she has passed in his checks"
Lets give him decent burial
said another. "Some wife or mother
will be glad if ever she knows it."
They began to dig a grave. Three
feet below the surface they discover
ed signs of gold.
The stranger was buried in another
place, and where they had located i
grave they opened gold mine.
An adventurer who had drifted to
Leadville awoke one morning without
food or money. He went out and
shot a deer, which, in its dying agonies,
kicked up the dirt and disclosed signs
of gold. The poor man staked out a
"claim," and opened one OF the most
profitable claims ever worked in Lead
ville.,
"Dead Mans Claim" the name
given to another rich mine in Lead.
vile, was discovered by broken
down miner while digging grave.
A miner died when there was sever
al feet of snow on the ground. His
comrades laid his body in snow bank
and hired man for 81 to dig grave.
The gravedigger, after three days
absence, was found digging a nine
instead of grave. While excavating
he had struck gold.
An unsuccessful Australian miner
went up and down Colorado for sever
al months prospecting for gold and
finding none.
One day he sat down upon stone,
and Will. musing over his hard luck
aimlessly struck stone with his pick
He Clipped off piece and sprang to
his feet, The Chip was rich gold
quartz.
He hurried into the little town of Ros-
ita, and went to the assay Office, where a
teamster had just dumped load Of
wood. He agreed to saw the wood
to pay for assaying his chiplcl sam
pie.
The result of the assay e-nt him
back to his "claim.' Whe lie had
taken out of it $500, coo h old the
mine for $500, 900 in cash 3I,ooo,-
