Perseveres as a Prospector and

of Quartz.
ITS LOCATION KEPT SECRET.
A Housewives Success in Delving for
Riches During Old Hours OF
the Day.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, Aug. 13.-A So
noma County woman has discovered a
gold mine. Armed only with milkpan
and a freshovel Mrs. w. T. Leggitt has
prospected the creek near her home in
Redwood Township for several months.
Laughed at by her husband and ioked by
her neighbors the plucky woman went
mining every day that her household
duties would permit, declaring all the
time that there was a ledge somewhere
near and that she would find it; and she
kept her word.
One little patch of black sand on her
claim yielded So in fake gold, and on
many occasions she has washed out more
than 81 worth with a few minutes work.
To-day Mrs. Leggitt visited this city to
sell some of the gold and have an assay
made of several pieces OF rich-looking
quartz.
The gold was coDtained in a small tin
box and was in fakes ranging in size from
a grain of wheat to tiny particles. 1t was
sold to Heath & Ekstrom and when melted
made solid button of the pure yellow
metal nearly as large as a robins egg.
The quartz will be assayed at once hy
Mr. Heath and the result of the assay Is
likely to create boom in Redwood Town
ship. OF course. the exact location of the
new find is as yet a secret, but it is said to
be on one of Thomas Hopper's ranches,
near Occidental. Mrs. Leggitt and Hopper
have reached an agreement as to the own
ership of the mine, in case the ledge
proves to be on Hopper's land, and there
are many who believe that the proverblal
chopper luck'' has something to do with
the discovery.
Mrs. Leggitt is the mother of five chill
dren and Is a robust, matronly looking
woman on the sunny side of 40. Her
pleasant features are Drowned by the sun

SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 13.-The sec.
ond and concluding day of the national

which were witnessed by good sized
crowd. The day was an ideal one for
aauatics, and the honors to-day were
evenly distributed. Joseph ]. Whitehead

there was no foul, the race was justly
awarded to Whitehead.
In the intermediate singles Edward Van
Eick of Worcester, Mass, won quite
handily. The New York Athletic Club
won the senior double scull race in great
shape but was beaten by the Baltimores
in the senior eights. The latte- rowed in

WASHINGTON. D. c., Aug. 13.-The
practice of hazing. which has been
INDUCED in by cadets at the West Point
Military Academy has received a severe
blow at the hands of the President. By
his order two cadets, convicted by court
martial of this offense, have been dis
missed from the military service of the
United States. His order of dismissal is
accompanied by a severe arraignment of
the practice, and declaration of his deter
mination not to permit its continuance.
Notwithstanding the stringent regula-
tions made by the War Department and
the special orders issued by the Super
intendent of the Military Academy, the
custom OF hazing, which has prevailed at
the Military Academy for many years,
has continued to thrive within the walls OF
that institution, and the authorities of the
academy have finally determined to en-
force the regulations. Two cadets. Giles
Bishop Jr. Ga private of the second cass)
and Cadet II. S. Commager (also a pri-
vate in the same CLASSY, were arrested on
the charge of hazing. Cadet Bishops

succeeded the late Sir Frederick Leighton
but a few months ago. Death came to
the great painter after an illness of several
weeks. Excessive smoking had caused
cancer of the throat, but for a long time
he thought it only slight affection, and
refused to call in physician until it was
too late to check the progress of the dis
ease.
The death of Sir John MiIlais naturally
raises at once the question of his successor
as president of the Royal Academy. Un-
less the arrangements made at the time of
his election have been changed, this will
be Valentine Princeps, a omparatively
young man, but one who has already dis
tinguished himself in the world of art.
Millais aid not feel able to accept the
honorable position rendered him, but was
induced to accept it for year, at the end
of which time he was to withdraw ana
Princeps was to take his place. As mat
ters were arranged that way it would
seem as if Valentine Princeps was a sort
of vice president and is now really the
pre- sident of the English Royal Academy.
Sir John Everett Millais was born in
Southampton, England, in 1929, scion of
an old landed family in the island of Jer-
sey. AT years of age he entered Sass
Academy, and two years later became a
student at the Royal Academy, where he
gained the principal prizes for drawing.
He gained his first medal at the Society
of Arts when only g. "Pizarro Seizlng the
Inca of Peru" his first exhibited picture
was at the academy in 1916.
While a student in the academy's
schools his tastes had tacitly rebelled
against the routine conventions of acad-
emic teaching; and, strengthened in that
feeling by such specimens of early Italian
art as fell in their way, he and his friends,
William Holman Hunt and Dante Gabriel
Rosetti, resolved to study nature as it ap-
peared to them, not as 1t appeared in ''the
antioue.n These views were afterward
adopted by Charles Collins and other
Younger painters. who were termed, half
in lest and half in earnest, "the pre-
Rapha aelite school"
Millais was elected an associate of the
ROYAL Academy in 1853 and became R. A.
in Decem Der, 1868. His paintings include
a vast number of works, among the best
known of which:are: "0ur Savior" 1850;
Mariana in the Moated Grange" 1851; ;
"Tbe Huguenots'' and "Ophelia," 1852;
"The Order of Release" 1853; "The Pro-
scribed Royalist," 1853
In 1885 Millais was made Baronet on
the recommendation of Mr.. Gladstone.
Arthur WaIlack, son of Lester WalIack
and a nephew of Millais, says of the dis
tinguished man:
81 cannot reconcile myself to his break
ing down. You see be was only 81 years
old. and had twenty years magnificent
work left in him. Everybody agrees that
