FOUND TREASURE TROVE.
Two Charcoal Burners Unearth GOlt
Hidden Years Ago.

Two Charcoal Burners Unearth Gold
Hidden Years Ago.
For several weeks reports have been IN
circulation here that two charcoal burn
ers in Alpine valley had unearthed a
large amount of treasure, says a Santa
Rosa dispatch to the San Francisco Call.
The laborers suddenly quit work and be-
gan to consume large quantities OF red
wine and otherwise enjoy themselves.
During one of these periods OF lnebrlety
the men exhibited a lot of gold coin and
a quantity of gold nuggets TO rancnef
in Alpine valley.
The exhibition of so much wealth by
the heretofore poverty-stricken coal MAX
ers excited a lively controversy among
the residents of that section, and the tact
that the two men had been at work on
the johnson place went far to conhrm
the reports of the treasure troye. by w.
w. Iarwater, who has resided i'll Al
pine valley for upward of thirty years.
the reports of the find are confirmed.
The story of buried wealth on the
Johnson place has excited the cupidity
of dozens of people in that vicinity and
caused many hard days digging;
More than thirty years ago an OLD
miner named Johnson came to Alpine
valley in search of health and a quiet
place to end his days. He had plenty
of gold dust and money, and soon pur-
chased a ranch of 100 acres, on which
he erected comfortable house and 9TH
erwise improved the place. Shortly after
settling in the valley the old man re-
ceived legacy of over $4,000 in gold by
the death of brother in the East, and
having no confidence in banks the old
gentleman hid the money with his gold
dust in safe place.
The fact that much money was hidden
upon the ranch was generally known TO
the neighbors, and one night Johnson
was aroused from his bed by several
masked men who demanded, upon pain
of instant death, to know where the
money was hidden. He managed to es-
cape. but was wounded in the fray and
some time after he died without having
revealed the hiding place of his wealth.

NICKEL AND ALUMINIUM.
minnesota Lands Containing These Min.
erals Bought bv a Syndicate

minnesota Lands Conta lining These Min
erals Bought by a Syndicate.
Much interest has been aroused in Du-
luth over information that quantity of
mineral land in Lake and Cook counties,
Mlnn., has by degrees gone into the
hands of the Johnson Nickel Mining
company, and that that corporation now
practically owns or controls all the best
lands on the ridge extending east
through the northeast part of the state
from the end of the Mesaba iron range.
The value of the lands, it is said is
based not so much on the iron which is
present in large quantities as on the de-
posts OF nickel, silver and gold, which
are e, said to be very valuable.
Ihe formation of the johnson Nickel
Mining company is an interesting one.
Eight years ago st. Paul man named
Frank johnson, a Scandinavian, came up
to the range exploring He soon became
convinced of the value of the ores. Be
ing poor, he worked along until he had
followed this, and soon he succeeded in
interesting his family in the land and
more was purchased. Eastern capitalists
were also interested and more land pur-
chased. In all 700 square miles of land
has been explored by johnson and his
surveyor, upwards of 1000 specimens be-
ing secured for assays.
Out of this land, amounting to I4S.C0O
acres, the syndicate selected $4,000
acres, which are the cream of the land
and it is claimed by the syndicate, is
very valuable. Among other property
purchased was the land at the month of
the Pigeon river, where an excellent har-
Dor exists and waterpower said to be as
good as that al 81. knthony Falls. The
purchase made of the Paulson mine, in
Minneapolis, is said to be for the pur-
pose of affording an outlet over the Port
Arthur & Duluth railway, which runs
to the Paulson mine and is much nearer
than to Pigeon river outlet.
The ore to be mined is ''Titanic Nicol-
ite,'' nickel, and it is said that at an ex-
pense of $40 ton it can be proftably
mined. These are said to be the only
good nickel lands in America. the duty
on the imported article being $12O a ton.
The reports of the twenty specimens
sent to Minneapolis and st. Paul for as
saying, show the value of the metallic
deposits to run from SIS to $3.50 per ton.
It is claimed that it will cost but So a
ton to do the mining, which will be
entirely met by the gold and silver de-
posits in the ore. Seven of the speci-
mems ran from II to Is per cent. of
aluminium to the ton, the nickel in one
specimen running as high as p per cent.
and ayera ging above 10 per cent.

Saved Her Own Life.
From the Era, Bradford, Pa.
Too few people are acquainted with the
rapid advance of medical science, and too
many doctors are still plodding in the old
paths. Once 1t comes to pass that people
know themselves, that all physicians are
abreast of the worlds knowledge, much
of our suffering will come to an end. Med
ical scientists are not delving into the
depths of knowledge for the mere benefit
of brother physicians, but for the benefit
of the world They place in the hands of
the we'll man means of keeping WELL in
the hands of the sick a means of recov-
cry. 10 the parent they give the power
for you--will you accept the proffered
help?
Mrs. George Rowend, an estimable lady
who resides at No. 276 East Main street,
has cause to feel grateful toward the
science of medicine.
that Mrs. Rowend had been greatly bene-
fitted by the use of new medicine, inter-
viewed her. She stated that she had been
suffering with female trouble for many
years. She had been doctored for the all
ment for long time-in fact, nearly all
her life-and had never received anything
more than temporary relief. During the
last three years her condition grew worse
and was aggravated by an affection of the
heart. Her health was so poor that she
found it almost impossible to perform her
household duties.
II never believed in proprietary medi-
cines," said Mrs. Rowend, "but one day
last fall read an article in newspaper
which told Of the cures effected by DR..
Williams Pink Pills, and / decided to
try the medicine. Before had taken the

The depressing weakness which had both

appear, and the action of the heart at once
became stronger and more regular. took

Dangers OF the Baltic.

There is no part of the world which
has such a black record for wrecks as
these narrow Baltic seas. The number
in some years has averaged more than
one day. the greatest number of wrecks
recorded in one year being 425, and the
smallest 154. About 80 per cent. OF
these vessels became total wrecks, all
the crews being lost. In the four years
1S77-S1 no less than 700 lives were lost.
With regard to these wrecks the. fact,
however. must not be lost sight of that
many of the vessels navigating these seas
are old and ill found, especially those en-
gagged in the timber trade, for which any
vessel condemned for other traffic used
to be thought good enough. Many boats
which fail to pass the board of trade
survey are sold to the swedes and Nor No.,
ward in the Baltic trade. Sailing vessels
are much more liable to be wrecked on
these coasts than steamers. and as the
former are rapidly being superseded the
nronortionate number of wrecks is de-

pronounced in the opinion that for
gastric troubles, or for any irregu-

Tabules were remedy of amazing
effectiveness. He understands
this better now since he has learned
from his physician that sore throat
