The work of organizing the new Business
College in Mahanoy City was begun last week,
and the way students are enrolling it will be
a very successful business school.
Being a branch Of the excellent Wilkes

offering so low rates of tuition for the first
year to organize it thoroughly, it gives the
people of this county an opportunity to
attend irst-class business college at nearly
half the usual cost.
Charter Membership is issued which en-
titles the holder to a complete course (time
unlimited) in the commercial and English
branches, and shorthand and typewriting for
only $50. In night school only $40.
There will be excellent teachers and
thorough courses. In the commercial depart
ment the celebrated Sadler system will be
used for teaching accounts. 1t is being
adopted now by the best and largest schools
in the country. The shorthand and type
writing department win be nicely equipped.
The Standard Graham system Of shorthand
will be taught, and both Remington and
Smith Premiers Typcwritcrs used.

LOST FOR AGES,
Discovery of a Buried City in Turkestan
by Party of Prussians.

Discovery of Buried City in Turkestan
by Party of Prussians.
In Turkestan, on the right bank of
the Amou Diara, in chain of rocky
hills, near the Bokharan town of Karki,
are a number of large caves which,
upon examination, were found to lead
to an underground city, built appar-
emily long before the Christian era.
According to effigies, inscriptions and
designs upon the gold and silver money
unearthed from among the ruins the
existence OF the town dates back to
some two centuries before the birth of
Christ. The underground Bokharan
city is about two versts long and is
composed of an enormous labyrinth of
corridors, streets and squares, sur
rounded by houses and other buildings
two or three stories high. The ediices
contain all kinds of domestic utensils,
pots, urns, vases and so forth. In some
Of the streets falls of earth and rock
have obstructed the passages, but gen
orally the visitor can walk about freely
without lowering his head. The high
degree of civilization attained by the
inhabitants of the city is shown by the
fact that they built in several stories
by the symmetry of the streets and
square, and by he beauty Of the clay
and metal utensils and of the orna-
ments and coins.
