future of California gold mines.
THE increased demand for gold mines
is astonishing" he said, ''the biggest
transaction of this sort being the purchase
of the Iron Noun ain mine by the Mad

SAN FRANCISCO, April 18.-There is
quite sensation in financial circles over
note for 100000 involving the Stanford

surprise to the attorneys and executors
on both sides. The note was forwarded

Samuel Nilsson of Nilsson & Nilson at

not heard of it. He admitted. however,
that it might exist, for SO far as he him
self had not been lately engaged with the
heavy work Of the estate, and conse-
quently it might have come to the knowl-
edge of the firm without his attention
being called to it.
j. s. Angus one of the executors of the
Fair estate, said there was such a note for
$4,000 but whether genuine or not he
was not prepared to say.
"All we know about it," said he "is

STIRRING STORIES.
Told of Brave Deeds in tho War of

the Crlmea.
Sir Evelyn Wood, in the Fortnight
ly. continues his papers on the
Crimea, 1854 and 1894. He deals
this time with Balaclava and Inker-
man. The chief interest of his paper
is in the stories which he tells of in
dividual heroism and of endurance.
We extract a few, chiefly relating to
the charges of the heavy and light
brigades at Balaclava.
"Lieutenant Sir William Gordon,
who greatly distinguished himself in
personal combats in Central India in
1858, is still an active man, although
the doctors said, on October 25, he
was their only patient with his
head off, so terribly had he been
hacked by a crowd of Russians into
which he penetrated. He used to
make little of his escape, but we
learnt that after being knocked out of
the saddle he lay on his horses neck,
trying to keep the blood from his
eyes Eventually, without sword or
pistol, he turned back, and, unable to
regain his stirrups although a perfect
horseman, rode at walk up the valley.
ale found between himself and our
heavy brigade a regiment of Russian
cavalry facing up the valley. He was
now joined BY two or three men, and
ne made for the squadron interval
The Russians, hearing him approach,
looked back, and by closing outward
to bar his passage left sufficient open
ing in the squadron. through which
Gordon passed at canter. He was
followed and summoned to surrender,
and, refusing, he would have been cut
down had not his pursuer been shot.
We know that a cornet rich in world
~ possessions, whose horse had been
killed down in the valley near the
guns, kept his head, and, extricating
the saddle carried it back into camp
on his head.
Here is the story about Sir William
HeWett's disobedience to orders at
lnkerman: "When the Russians were
seen on the Inkerman crest and were
observed emerging from the Careen-
age ravine and approaching the bat
terry, a message was sent to Mr.. Hew-
EFT to spike his guns and retire. This
order was delivered at critical mo-
ment. Hewett had been firing at and
keeping back some of the enemy who
attempted to approach on the ridge
at his right front, but now one or
more companies which had ascended
the Careenage ravine out of the sight
OF the battery, were advancing by,
and had got within 200 yards of the
right flank of the battery.
The gun could not be trained to
reach them, as the embrasure con-
fined its field of fire. but Hewitt was
quick of resource, and after one more
round, as the gun was being reloaded,
he gave the word, -Four handspikes,
muzzel to the right and trained the
gun SO that its muzzle rested against
the earthen flank wall of his battery.
Turning to the messenger who was
repeating the order, he shouted Re
tire! Retire be-! Fire!' and
mass of earth, stones and gabions was
driven by the projectile and sixteen
pounds of powder into the faces of the
victory shouting Russians, who, struck
by this wide spreading extemporized
shell, fell back discomfted: Our in
fantry pursued them, being led on
most gallantly by one officer, the only
man just then in red, the others wear
ing great coats.''
