THE ST. ALBANs FIRE LOSSES.
The Cash Property Loss Reaches at
Least $40O,OOO-Actual Payments
by Insurance COmDanies @C57.714

L. s. Hayes Of Bellows Falls, the
well-known insurance adjuster, sends
us from st. Adams this morning the
following authentic figures in regard
to losses by the st. Adams fire and the
insurance. The total amount of in
surance involved is $465, 6S4, which in
cludes all removals of goods where
damage is small, and policies covering
three, four or five buildings, of which
perhaps but one was burned. Actual
payments by insurance companies,
S257,7l4. The best estimates by insur-
ance men place the cash property loss
by the fire at 100000, including the
government building, which was not
insured.

NATIONAL GUARD MATTERS.


ton Drill at Fort Etnan Allen.
The rifle competition and drill that
was held at Fort Ethan Allen last yeat
will be repeated this season about
June Goth. The rifle range at the Fort
is being enlarged and improved. 1t
will not be completed by June goth,
but five targets will be ready and Maj.
Morris will courteously suspend work
a day ortwo to accommodate the state
troops. The National Guard is there
fore already beginning to realize ma
terially from having such facilities To-
Gated in the state. This range has al
ready cost sum that the state would
never have appropriated for such pur-
poses and has been the direct means
of the National Guard authorities
starting this annual rifle competition,
which is conducted after the manner
of the United States department COM
petitions that have done SO much to
developrife firing in the regular army.
Last years competition was SO success
full that the companies about the state
this year are looking forward to the
contest with enthusiastic interest.
The men compete on June inspec-
ton day for selection. 1t is an honor
and credit to present their companies
at Fort Ethan Allen. There are two
or three medals to be striven for be-
sides a place on the state team, which
afterwards completes with team from
the University of Vermont and per-
haps from Norwich University, cup
being the trophy for the winning
team.
Capt. Tutherly will start June LIST
on his inspecting tour about the state,
to select the competitors for the COM
petition. 1t is intended to bring in
some mounted pistol practice and
skirmish running this year, which
will be new features to the public GER
tainly and possibly to some of the re-
Gently enlisted National Guardsmen.

ROUTED BY MOSQUITOES.
Even Gold Diggers in the Tropics
Can't Withstand Them.
From the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
Gold in plenty may be found In the
sands of the Volador rivera stream of
moderate volume that falls from the snow
line of the Sierra de st. Martha In South
America; but though the lowland region
and the river bed where the precious met
al abounds in fabulous quantities are cas-
lily accessible, the mosquitoes are so
thick and terrible there that all attempts
to rife the sands Of their gold have so
far failed.
Elisee Reclus, the celebrated French ge-
ographer, was the first to explore the
plain about the Voladors mouth. He had
thought of establishing an agricultural
colony in the fertile loWlands, but found
the plague OF insects SO unbearable that
he was forced to beat retreat and
abandon his project. He was the dis
coyerer of this wonderful stream, whose
waters sweep over sands which are lit
orally golden. He told the news to the
French vice consul at Rio Hacha, and
this Official obtained the concession of
this Eldorado. The dangers he was to
encounter he knew perfectly well. He
took with him when he set out an inge-
niously constructed gauze tent of large
dimensions. For two days he. tried 10

erations of HIS workmen, who toiled in
the sitting heat, clothed In thick gar
ments, and protected by heavy boots,
gloves and wells AT the end of the sec
ond day both employer and employees gave
up the struggle and retreated.
The next who tried to wiring fortune
from these auriferous sands was an Ital-
IAN who obtained permission from the
vice consul. The Italian laughed at the
idea of mosquitoes driving any one away
from a place where gold could be picked
up almost by the handful. He started
out with a party of six. who shared
with him his belief. and so they took

Probably what did more than an else to
determine the fate of the prisoner was the
arrival of the husband of the negro's
victim. He appeared among the excited
crowd, and, being recognized, was asked

MIG FINDS IN FLORIDA.
Frank Ii. Gushing, of zuni Fame, to
Try Fresh Fields.
From The Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Frank Hamilton Cushing who, some
years ago. distinguished himself by his
explorations and discoveries among the
zuni Indians in New Mexico, will soon
start on an expedition in fresh fields to
explore the remarkable aboriginal remains
OF Western Florida for the University OF
Pennsylvania. Some months since Col.
G. ID. DurnfOrd, of the British army, while
tarpon fishing in Florida, discovered some
entirely new remains Of the ancient Flori-
dian people. He communicated the re-
suit Of his finds to the university museum,
and presented to that institution frag-
ments Of ancient fish nets and objects OF
carved wood. which he discovered in the
muck in an ancient lagoon in which the
prehistoric people moored their canoes.
Mr.. Cushing undertook TO complete the
observa lions made by col Durnford. and
at once proceeded to Florida In the in
terest Of the museum. A few days ex-
cavations yielded valuable treasures OF
crania, shell and wood, and resulted in
discoveries that are likely to prove OF
enormous value to chronological science.
After the opening of the Hazard Cliff
collection at the University museum on
Friday, Mr.. Gushing will at once go TO
Florida for the university, to prosecute
to the end the observations made by him
SELF ana Col. Durnford He mas found
great artificial canals, lagoons and struc-
lures regularly faced and built of shell.
The possibility of their being of Carib ORR
gin offers important and interesting
problem
When Mr.. Cushing was pushing his dis
coVeries among the Zuni people he Sc
cured his adoption into the tribe, in order
the better TO observe their savage life. His
designation Of lieutenant was obtained
through his having once commanded a
troop Of soldiers in an expedition in the
southwest, and although he never held ac-
tual rank in the government service, his
bearing would seem to confirm the ira
dition that gives him military title. For
several years his health has prevented
his giving to the world the treasures OF
culiar possession. Recently, however he
has been enabled to complete his long
promised work on "Zuni Myths" about
to be published by the United States bu-
reau Of Ethnology. His discoveries in
Florida Will. II is believed. be hardly less
interesting than those made by him in
Zuniland.
