The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1896-05-29

Owosso Press: Supt. j. W. Simmons, of
this city, is candidate for the republican
nomination for member of the State Board
OF Education, and has secured the unanl-
nous Endorsement of the delegation from
this county. We have on previous occasions
spoken of Mr.. Simmons exceptional abil-
ity and marked success as an educator and
his high standing as one of the leading edu-
cational thinkers of this state; and, while
the Owosso Press has nothing to say as to
whom the republicans will nominate, we
will state that, in our judgment, they could
make no better nomination for that position
than James w. Simmons, of this city.

rhe world,s Greatost Fores..

At the recent congress for the ad-
vancement of science in this country
it was said that the largest forest in
existence was nearly 700 miles north
from the ST. Lawrence of Quebec and
Ontario, and 300 from east to west.
A recent French writer, commenting
on this, aserts that the Canadian forest
is only entitled to the fourth place, If
even that. In South America, be states,
in the valley of the Amazon, is a stretch
of woodland 2,200 miles long and 1880
miles wide; while in the center of Afri
ca explorers have reported forest at
least $500 miles long from north to
south, and of a width as yet unmeas-
ured and untraversed, but certainly
vast in extent. This African forest,
known as the 'Great Forest" is in all
probability the largest area of wood
land country in the world. The greater
portion of it is virgin soil that has never
been trod even by savages, let alone
civilized man. Stanley, in his Darkest
Africa" describes this great forest and
tells of the many days he and his men
marched through it in what was almost
darkness, hardly a ray of the sun be-
ing able to penetrate the dense foliage.

DIGGING FOR GOLD.
An Old Man who Has Been DeIvIng In
the Mountains for Fifty Years.

An Old Man Who Has Been DeIvIng In
the Mountains for Fifty Years.
From the Washington Star: An old
nan entered a leading hardware store
III Washington the other day and
bought some blasting powder. His
white hair hung low upon his Shout
his breast. He looked like veritable
Rip Van Wrinkle just awakened from
his SAUNDERS. 1t is not often that he
comes to town, and when he does he
leaves as soon as his supplies are pur-
chased. Up in the mountains the old
man has a cabin where he has lived
alone for many years. raising barely
enough corn on the rocky land he owns
to sustain his existence For half
century he has been digging for gold,
and from time to time enough has
been found in a little stream near his
ca bin to stimulate his search. But
there has never been sufficient to pay
for opening up q tunnel, and the old
man has been digging one for fifty
years. He works alone, for he is afraid
to confide his secret to any man. From
morning until night he digs, and when
a rock is reached that has to be blast
ed, he buys all the power that the
money he can raise will pay for, and
when that is gone must wait until an
other crop can be raised to secure a
new supply. The old prospector will
not live to make many more trips to
Washington, and it will probably new
er be known whether the washings OF
free gold he has secured from the
stream came from a vein in the mount
aims where he has vainfy spent his life
or not.
