CHnLDREN'S CHATTER.
They Talk Aloud and Disclose Many
Family Secrets.

New York children are proverblally preco-

who congregate about the benches at Tomp-
kiDs square.
On one of the seats four little girls were OBJ
served the other day ndulglDg in the feminine
masculine, also-propensity for Quarreling.
The most self-assertlve of the group was a
diminutive damse whose head was adorned
with hat of mOnstrous red plumage. Sarcas-
tic comments on her part had evidently irritated
her companions.
"She's sassy thing, Sally. wouldn't speak

AUSTRALIANS GOLD FIELDS.
A Scarcity of Water and the Hard
ships That Are Endured.

Wonderful tales are current Of the rich
ness of the Coogardie gold field in West
err Australia, and particularly Of one mine
in the district discovered by two young
adventurers Damed Bailey and Ford. The
former while prospecting found a forty
five ounce nugget sticking out from a reef
in big mountain of quartz AS quickly
as possible claim was Staked out, but. in
spite of all precautions, much valuable
suroace stone was stolen before proper
guard could be established.
The monthly OUTPUT from the mine now
amounts to 1000 ounces. From thirty tons
of ere picked from bulk o! 400 tins 49,
600 ounces of gold were obtained, and the
remainder of the stone is expected to yield
from five to six ounces TO the ton. Out OF
$50 tons of stone raised from a depth of
fifteen feet. twelve tons were picked,
giving $500 ounces of smelted gold
From another part of the mine four tons
1000 ounces of gold. Some of the
other returns of picked stone we're: Five
tons from $50 tons for 1000 ounces. two tons
from 20 tons for 600 ounces, tons for 1000
ounces and 80 5hundTedweight for 800 ounces.
Some of the surface sis so rich in gold that
ounces can sometimes be picked out in a
few minutes" Down to the 50-foot level
only it is estimated that gold to the
amount of 10000 ounces is now In sight.
1t is as yet too soon to speak about the
prospects of Other claims which have been
pegged out In and around Coolgardie.
Very few of them have got beyond the
rudmentary stage of prospecting claims,
although reports have been received of
some valuable finds. among which may be
cited a reef carrying ten ounces to the ton,
and the discovery of nuggets Of ffty-two-
ounce weight on a field forty-five miles dis
tant. The population of the place amounted
TO about 1900 some weeks ago, but since
then has diminished IN consequence of
the terrible hardships which must be en-
countered there owing TO the climate and
