Recently he returned and dug up
his treasure. Imagine his surprise
to find the chest not filled with
shining gold, but with black
kind OF powder, which showed signs
of animal life.
Chemical tests have shown that
the black mineral, or animal, which
it has not been definitely deter.
mined, has consumed the gold. A
quantity OF tralgo oro has been sent
to New York, where the chemists
are testing for method to recon
vert it to its original composition.
1t is said that gold is lndestruct-

adopted whereby the gold may be

WONDERS OF THE TAMA-
RACK COPPER MINE.

From the Boston Transcript.
Less than a month ago the deep
est mining shaft in the world
reached the copper lode in the
Tamarack mine. The mine is in
itself wonder, and the stupen-
dous machinery on the surface, the
awsome depths OF its shafts, the
richness of its lode and the size Of
its dividends render il a most in
iefesting property. It's history is
a combination OF romance and
stern practically; projected in the
mind OF one who was laughed at
as dreamer by his associates, it
has been developed on the lines he
laid out before the first shovelful
of earth was turned over on the
property, and today, barring only
its giant neighbor, the Calumet
and Hecla, richest among mines, it
is the leading dividend-paying
property of the great mineral dis
trict of Lake Superior.
In 1880, Capt. John Daniel in
terest, d with himself in the pur
chase of a tract Of mineral land IN
the township OF Columet, a num-
ber of local and Boston capitalists.
1t had already been demonstrated
that the famous Calumet and
Hecla conglomerate was vein OF
wonderful strength and perma-
nence, and it's dip had been calcu-
lated at 37t degrees, while its
width was fairly well known. IL
the vein held it's course, il passed
under the tract purchased by these
men, but at depth of over 1000
feet. II required faith and cash
to develop mine under such
hitherto unheari of conditions,
but the men and the money we're
found. The Tamarack Mining
Company was organized, and the
frat earth was turned from the |
ground in wi at is now known as
No. / shaft in February. 1882.
1t was estimated from the dip Of |
the Calumet aud Hecla vein, as
bv the engineers, that |
the lode would he cut at q depth |
of about 1880 feet from the sur.

LIKE A ROMANCE.

New York, Oct. Is. Edwar,
Sheffield, OF Melbourne, Australia
and Ellen, his wife, of Helena
Mont, met at the law Office o
Richard Boyd last night for th,
first time in twenty years. Eacf
had believed the other dead, buI
each remained faithful. Nearly n
quarter of n century ago in South
ampton, England, Sheffield, then
the captain Of a ship, met and loved
pretty Ellen Marshall. William
Porter, young merchant, proved
a hard fighting rival, but in the end
the bluff sailor won the girl. Ed
ward and Ellen had been married
about two yeers when Edwards
ship was chartered for Brazil. On
the voyage it was wrecked. The
sailors took to small boats and
were lost The captain clung for a
day to a wave wash ed hulk until q
passing schooner took him aboard.
He was landed friendles and penui-
less on the South American coast.
He had terrible experiences OF want
and hunger, but after many years
he scraped together enough money
to take him home. only to ind his
wife gene. His former rival, Por-
ter, told him maliciously that Mrs.
Sheffield had gone off to America
with another man. The young
man left at once for Australia. He
bought small ranch near Mel
bourne, took to sheep farming and
became modestly rich. He never
married, however, although he
heard that his wife was dead.

The reply was that Mrs.
Sheffield had shown deeds for the
land and had sold most OF it at n
high price as silver has been found

was a widow, living at Helena.
Mrs. Sheffield was communicated
With. She wrote that she had
waited for years at home until
satisfied that her husband was dead.
She took deeds for the Montana
auds to America to see what sbe
could sell them for, and was
amazed to find herself rich. As to

Concerning the recent scare of diph-

There is now about one case IN the city
that is surely this disease.
The board Of health have been able
to control all epidemics SO far, and with
a wiling council and effective sanitary
officers. and the support of the people,
there is no need OF alarm.
III has been clearly demonstrated that
diphtheria is due TO specific germ. and
fifth of any kind, decaying animals or
vegetable matter, over crowdIng, bad
water. etc, are ali favorable conditions
for the development Of the disease The
board of health is anxiOusly watching
the experiment which is now being made
in New York city with the diphtherla
virus aud hope that the virus may prove
to be equally as protective in that dis
ease as vaccination is in small Pox. The
Germans claim good results from diph-
liberia incubation. but we want more
positive proof of its protective benefits
before trying the experiment ourselves.
The board Of health has adopted the
plan Of testing the secreiOns of the sus-
Dected diphtheretic cases and feels sure
that the people will universally support
the board In this work. The secretIons
and excretiOns Will be subject to chemi-

Of Topeka Will appreciate this effort.
One of the best microscOpist physicians

DEPRESSION IN FRANCE.

WARRINGTON, Nov. 15.-United States
Consul Wiley at Bordeaux sends to the
department of state an interesting re-
port on the trade depression in France,

reason for our guidance. He says that
the statistics show that there still remains
more money per capita in circulation
in the republic Of France than in
any other country in the world,
although there has been heavy falling
off IN imports and exports. An tented
resume of frances expectation and i'm
poriatiOn during 1898 shows that there
has been a deminution in her commerce
amounting TO 252 100000 francs, the
shrinkage being about equally divided
between exports and imports.
The country little over two years ago
increased the duty on nearly all raw aud
manufactured articles discharged at her
ports or brought across the frontier, and
as goods. to employ an old custom, is
paid for with goods, directly or Indirect

her expectations by the application of
