Regularly, day after day, Utah adds
its quota to the wealth of the world,
and but little note is made in the COM

sent out of the state he would be sur
prised at their magnitude and value

ana bullion OF the state for the week
ending March %, 1896, which does not
include gold bars and cyanides of gold.

DUG UP A POT.
Valuable Discovery Made Lately in
New Jersey.

Valuable Discovery Made Lately in
New Jersey.
Charles Wesbervelt Kent found pot
of money last Friday Afternoon, and
now all the people in Bergen county,
New Jersey, are talking about it. He
is 16 years old, and lives with his
father, who divides his time between
doing carpenter work for the Erie
railroad and running his Jersey farm.
The farm is situated on the brow of
the big hill just back of Spring valley
Bergen county.
The Kents have lived on the farm
ever since Charles was baby, and
during all that time Farmer Kent was
given to worrying over the group of
rocks in the center of his meadows. A
week or two ago he decided to remove
the stone by blasting. When Charles
heard of this he volunteered to do the
blasting. He drilled two holes last
Monday in the surface of the ledge,
but Friday he decided to remove the
earth encircling the stones, and if pos
sible ascertain just how big they were
before he blew them up. He dug hole
four feet deep and about three feet
wide. The blade on his spade struck
something's tomato can-he thought.
He bent over and picked the can out
of the black earth. He saw that in
stead of a tomato can he was holding
in his hands an iron pot, about seven
inches ng. and shaped like a whisky
iro

BROKE OPEN THE POT.

The iron was so badly rusted that
Charles found it easy to break. What
he saw made him jump out of the hole
and run to the house. which is only 300
yards away. He burst into the kitchen.
Mother, see what I have found,
he said, and he dumped the contents of
the lug on the table. Several of The
age-stained coins were silver. but the
majority were copper pennies. They
were green with the mould of years,
and some of thsm were black. All
told, there were forty-five pieces in the
pile.
Well this is hard luck" multtered
Charlie ''They are all cents. Some old
idiot must have buriad them behind THE
stones a hundred years ago, and then
gone and died. I thought 1 had found

maybe these are valuable. Let's look
at the dates"
Some of the dates were 1885, 1914, 1874,
1903, 1902 1872, 1917, 1884 1913, 1910, 1901.
1914 and 1907. And of the silver coins
was a III pfennig piece.
THE NEIGHBoRS EXCITED.
The elder Kent told his son to put
the coins away and tell no one. The
boy put the coins in cotton bag ard
then went down to the village to keep
his secret. He managed to keep 1t TO
himself exactly one hour, and then he
confided in the Telegraph operator and
the grocer's boy. Before night every
man, woman and child in the place
knsw all about the discovery of the
buried treasure. and as result most
of the neighbors called to get the story
first hand.
Charley showed the coins and told
his story to all the visitors, and, by
way of a finale, his father told the
family history. He also told them how
he had found a Spanish quarter TWEEN
