pASDE's GoLD-BoTToMEp LAKE.
A Story of a Remarkable Discovery
OF 1.Oo,e Wealth In AMska.
lScattie Post-Intelligencor.l


Returning miners and prospectors from
Alaska tell differing stories OF their hunt
for gold. Some have been successful,
some have failed. There is one man, how
ever, who came down on the last trip OF
the steamer Topeka, who thinks ne has
found such a fortune that lie is almost
afraid te talk about it, for, h. says people
could not believe it."
Hans Christian Pandc, an old sea cap
tain and former resident IF Takpnfa.
is the man who believes he has found a
treasure. He. with seven others, has
taken up 1JS acres about eighteen miles
from Si,ka, and 1t is called 'Pande's basin
placer claim.'' Within the limits of the
claim is a lake 900 yards long. 400 yBrds
wide and l5O feet deep. The lake Is fed
by water from glacier above. and Ire
outlet is only two feet deep, a little stream
that hurries at lightning speed down the
canon below. Tie action of the glacier,
which has been going on for centuries,
probably has brought down from the
mountains above large deposits or flour
gold and This has all, of necessity been
held within the boundaries of The little
body OF water. The action Of The glacier,
the deepness of the lake and he shallow
ness of the outlet is the combination
which. Mr.. Pande thinks. has covered the
bottom of the lake with millions of dollars
in flour gold.
Assays of sand from the shores Of the
lake, made by j. A. Becker, an sssay yer at
Sitka, show that 1t will produce the al
most unbelievable result of SIS and $40 n
cubic yard. The statement that half q cent
n cubic yard will allow a man To- make
$40. 900 II year Will illustrate the size Of Mr..
Pande's find. He says that he can not, Of
course, believe or hope that these ASSAYS
will be borne out by future Developments,
but II he can only get a comparatively
small part of that amount he Will be sat
isfied. What Mr.. Pande and his associates
want to do is to tap the rock wall Of the
lake on the lower side SO that the water
can be almost entirely drained out. Then,
Mr.. Pande thinks, field of flour gold VIII
lie before him.
Mr. Paude's golden Merca Is reached only
by the greatest hardship and danger, and
he aud two companions, he claims, are TIE
only persons who have ever come back alive
from the little lake. The outlet stream.
while only two feet deep, has such swift
current that when the discovrrers We're
crossing it the icy waters swept up over
their heads. and it was only by eGDginE
with tenacious grip to rope that had
been caught on the other side that they
were saved from destruction. II is im-
possible to reach the place in winter, and
Mr. Pandc and his companions viii not
make another attempt to visit the lake
until spring.

NEW FREAKoE NATURE.
Black Hair Turns White and Then
BECOMES Black Again.

somervile, n. j., Dec. 2.-ChariesS Sch wed,
a clothier OF this place, has had rc-
markabie experience with his hair. About
n year ago Mr.. Schwcd was the possessor
of as fine u head OF Jet black hair as one
could desire, but il began TO fan out, not
slowly. but actually by The handfuls, until
in n remarkably short time he was COM
pletely bald.
A new crop of hair then started and
grew to a considerable length, but 1T was
as white as snow, and for rev months
Mr.. Schwel, though comparatively young,
was graced by the hoarfrost of eighty years,
but this did not last long. IN short time
there begnD-to appear amid the silver locks
small patches Of jet black hair.
These grew larger and larger, gradually
roofing out the white hair, until today Mr.
Schwed has head OF hair almost as black
as his original one. MIR. Schwed has no
disease of the scalp, therefore this seems
the more remarkable. The turning OF
black hair into white in a single night has
often been heard of, but turning of white
hair to black without the aid of hair dye
is certainly a new departure in the freaks
of nature.

COMING TO THE THEATERS.

Clara Morris. one of the most interesting
actresses before the public, comes TO the
Grand Opera House this evening for "a
weeks eHga cement. There are few ac-
remarkable emotional powers as Clara
Morris and there are still fewer who can
act with such fervor and Intensity.
Her iniperSonatihns OF such characters as
real, so lifeike, that once seen the charac-
ters viii never be forgotten. They become
living creatures, many of whose uiierances
we never forget. This is the test uf a great
artist.
Miss Morris has shown herself possessed in
an equal degree of that personal distinc-
ton, intellectual character, versatility and
power of charm that distinguish her from
nll others on the boards. Versatility is her
greatest distinction, for, unlike other ac-
achieved In some special field, Miss Morris
has, with repertoire of over 1OO roles,
triumphed in all.
The repertoire selected for her enga gcnient
here Is brilliant one and has been arranged
as follpws: Monday night she will appear
in her great impersonatioD of Cora in

The new production OF the big naval

wealth OF new scenery and vivid mechanical
feaLires. comes to The Academy this week
OF the many exciting and life-likc dramas
that the public have unitedly approved,
there Is none superior to this masterpiece
of stage art. Here q story of love and hate
ia SO beautifully blended with historical
events in a sister republic in South Amer
ica that the mind is in n whirl of delight
and excitement for three hours.
In The White Squadron" there is his
torical lesson for the young to learn in the
Congress OF Navies." which occurred In
Brazil. Here ii was shown that the Ameri-
can flag was able to command the respect OF
any OF the nations represented in the .Con-
greas of Navies."
..The White Squadron" abounds In some
OF the most Interesting characters in the
history OF the stage, and as the play devel-
ops, the audience can hardly realize that
they are not witnessing thrilling episodes
in real life.
Such plays rs "The white Squadron are
delights to the intellectual. for they SOW
the seed Of enltghtennient, treating of the

week, ifnot of the season, willbe the appear
ance of Nat. c. Goodwin at the National
TDeater this evening. when he VIII
present for the first time in this city his
latest success, Ambition written by
Henry Guy Carleton.
The play illustrates official and social life
in Washington. Several American authors
have been successful in putting such matter
on the stage, and others have failed. IL
remain ed for Mr.. Carleton's g talents to place
his name on the triumphant list.
The theme OF Ambition" is a popular
one, inasnluch as it deals particula rly with
the affairs. public and private, OF Senator
Obadiah BECK. chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Affairs. He is the leader OF his
party. and is sought by the President as
Secretary of State and after refusing the
office because he differs with the head of the
Department as to the policy OF the United
States on the Cuban revolution, he is urged
to be their leading candidate for the Presi-
dency.

Remarkable Progress Made During the
Past Few Months.
New York, Sept. 3O.eThe worlds
correspondent in Cuba, who has just WIS.,
tied the provinces Of Santa Clara and
Santiago. reports that the rebellion has
grown remarkably since he last visited
those sections. He says:
The claims OF the Spanish press that
the rebellion was an uprising Of blacks
are borne out by my observations.
There were on the first Of June about
5000 men In the field In Santiago, a
considerable number of whom were un-
armed, and four-fifths of whom were
negroes or men of color.
There were few unorganized bands
prowling In the forests Of Puerto Prin-
cipe awaiting leader.
The wealthy and fertile province Of
Santa Clara was subservient to Span
ish authority. excepting number Of
discontented people who had taken to
the woods near Santa Spiritus. A
change has taken place. Antonio
Maceo has under his general command
5000 fairly armed followers.
Outside the town and garrisoned
ports held by Spanish troops, Maceo is

There are nearly 1900 insurgents in
