Fabulous Gold Deposits.

TACOMA, Wash: An immense bed Of
ore, carrying rich deposits of gold and
silver, has just been located on the west
slope of Mt. Tacoma, near the snow line.
G. II. Talbot, a civil engineer OF this city,
wi 0 returned recently from the Gold Hill
mines in the Pacific forest reserve, says
that this one particular bed has in sight
over 100000 tons of ore, which runs $50
per ton. The ore is accessible, being
within four miles of a railroad track.
Several other rich finds have also been
reported in the vicinity of Mt. Tacoma
and Mt. st. Helens. large number OF
Michigan men being interested in the
latter. Gold, silver, copper, nickel, cobalt
and arsenic appears in most of the new
finds, and in one granite and lime forma-
ton the gold and silver deposits assay
$500 per ton.
A stampede of miners and idle artisans
has set in the direction OF the new mines,
and the excitement has spread to other
mining districts.
A pack train of fifty horses and men,
amply provided with supplies for remain
ing in the mountains all winter, started
for Gold Hill mines from the nearest rail-
road station. Interested parties have kept
the discovery secret, and have located
all the valuable claims thus far dis

The accident had a frightful appear
ancc 10 the spectators. The Vice Presi-
dent and Governor went down clinging
together, and it was several minutes be-
fore they could be extricated from the
struggling mass. Ex-Gov Sherman was
found lying under the debris, with a large
plank across his neck, but was rescued
without serious injury. Miss Drake, the
Governors daughter, was not injured as
first reported. All the participants in the
afternoon exercises were able to take
part.
The Vice President was taken in car
riage to the hotel, where he recoveed from
the shock. He was not hurt and took the
accident good naturedly.

Great Fortune Is Involved

NAPOLEON, Ohio: The descendants
of Captain Jonathan Carver, now known
in southwestern Ohio by the name of
Gum, have engaged an attorney and will
commence legal proceedings for a great
fortune. Capt Carver was one of the
early explorers of the headwaters of the
Mississippi River, and being in the
employment of the British Government
as agent to deal with western Indians,
made peace during his tour between sew
eral tribes, among which was the Monde
wssi Indians, who decided to him tract
of land sixty miles square on the site Of
where st. Paul and Minneapolis now
stand. This vast estate still remains un-
settled, and the heirs will now endeavor
10 prove their claims. The event is looked
forward to with great interest, and it will
be made memorable affair in the history
Of the Gum family. In the family are
many documents which will go toward
proving the identity of the heirs and
establishing their claims. Among other
relics of early days possessed by the
family is a letter written by Gen. William
Hull in 1911 to Whitmore Knaggs. The
letter possesses much historic interest, in
asmuch as it gives unpublished facts con-
cerning the great northwest.

MANY ARE HOMELESS
FlORlDANS RENDERED OESTi.
TUTE BY THE HURRICANE.
Without Food, Cotton Destroyed,
and No Resources-Special Session
OF the Legislature to Provide for
Them Advocated.
Thousands are Destitute.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla: The big storm
left the people of western Alachua and
Levy and the eastern part of Lafayette
Counties homeless, without food, with
cotton destroyed, and no resources. Peo-
pie who have visited them earnestly ad-
vocate special session OF the Legislature
to provide for them. In western Alachua
County thousands of people lived, most
OF them well to do farmers. All their
homes were destroyed, together with their
winters provisions.
At Yule, a place of 300 inhabitants,
everything is gone. Not store remains.
Some parts of the buildings were carried
three miles. Dress goods were found five
miles away. The people gathered what
lumber they could find and made shelter
for the women and children, who number
hundreds. Food is nearly gone. Nearly
every house in Lafayette County was de-
stroyed. Nothing was left of Marc, the
county seat.
East of the Suwanee River the loss to
phosphate plants was $4,000 Lafayette

All the crops were destroyed. Hundreds

We're made idle. Most of the laborers
must live on charity until they can find
something to do. Citizens have appointed
committees at various points to solicit aid
for the sufferers. Contributions from
other states will certainly be required

Bradstreet,s Review.

NEW YORK: Bradstreet's says: Cooler
weather and continued purchases by in
terror me6chants, notably west and south
continued the slight improvement in
trade recorded in preceding weeks. Mer-
chants at primary cotton markets and al
large centers in the spring wheat region
report better movement of staples, due
to unusually heavy receipts of those
crops.
Mercantile collections continue slow
and as difficult to make as heretofore, ex-
cept in the cotton states and at some
points in the northwest, where heavy
crop receipt have enabled interior mer-
chants TO liquidate long standing accounts.
The more conspicuous demand at large
interiorlcities is for dry goods, clothing,
shoes hardware, leather and lumber.
There is also better demand for pig iron
and steel.
Business in cotton goods has been
checked by the advance in prices, and
mill stock tends to accumulate again.
Exports of wheat, flour included as
wheat, from both coasts of the United
States and from Montreal this week
amount to 4, ,2l5, 794 bushels, the largest
weeks export of wheat since the second
week in September, 1893.
The total number of business failures
throughout the United States from jan
uary, l, 1895, 10 September, 80, 1896, is
II, ,2S0, the largest aggregate reported for
a like period since records of this charac-
ter have been complied. The next largest
corresponding total was IL, l40 for nine
months of the panic year OF 1898.

To Prevent PiIfering.

Probably one of the best schemes for
preventing the opening of boxes with
out discovery is ured by firm in Phil
adelphia. The firm are wholesale ci-
gar dealers and ship their goods
throughout the neighbOring States. 1t
used to be their custom to place about
fifty boxes of cigars in a large case,
but quite frequently the cases were
opened and several boxes removed, the
cases being nailed tight again. Now
their cases are made out Of about a
dozen boards and a single piece of
heavy twine is run through an auger
hole in each board. The two ends of
the twine are sealed with a piece Of
lead bearing the firms name and this
method has proved effective against
stealing

Boy Killed by a Street Car.

Amo Carlson, the 5-yearoid son of Her
man Carlson, was run over by street car
at the intersection o. Goth and 0 Streets,
Lincoln, and instantly:killed. According
10 all the evidence intro luced, the killing
was purely accidental, and not case OF
contributory negligence on the part OF the
motorman. The car was running at the
rate of seven miles an hour when the ac-
cident accurred, and the car was brought
to standstill within twenty three feet OF
the scene of the disaster. The boy was
stealing rides Oh various vehicles as he re-
tured from school. He was riding on the
rear of mail cart going in the same dl-
aection as the car. Spying piano van
across the tracks going in an opposite dl-
rection from the car, the child loosed his
hold on the cart and dashed across the
track directly under the wheels, the head
and trunk being badly mansled. The
jury'S verdict completely eXonerated the

raIk Through the Human Body.

MINNEAPOLIS: On one of the tele-
phone lines running to this city from the
southern part OF the state curious eXper-
iment was successfully tried last week.
The line running from Rochester to Rock
Dell was broken, and previous to its re-
pair two young men of Rock Dell thought
they would see the capacity of the human
body to transmit sound. One took the
ends of the wire in either hand, and alter
comparing watches his comrade went to a
st,tion and rang up town on the line
beyond where his friend was stationed.
The latter received somewhat severe
shock, but held the lines, and the message
was clearly conveyed through his body.
Several other attempts were made and
messages were sent over the long distance
limo to Dodge Gonter and Austin, and in
each case the words were as clearly con-
veyed as if the line extended unbroken
and connections were not made through
arms and body. At the time of the eXper-
iment John Lindale, who held the ends OF
the wire, was four miles from the point
where his friend, Torger Anderson, talked
through him.

A SUGAR BEET CROP
NEBRASKA FARMERS MARKET
ING LARGE QUANTITIES.
Factory at Norfolk Begins Opera.
tions with Three Hundred and
Fifty Employees Yield Is Large
and of Fine Quality.

The Norfolk sugar beet factory has
started receiving beets, and each day the
farmers of that locality have been deliy-
erng from 25O to $50 wagon loads, for
which they received S. per ton. In addi
ton to those delivered by wagon great
quantities of beets have been brought In
by rail. This has been very favorable
season for sugar beets, and they are test
ing very rich in sugar, nearly the entire
crop being ripe and ready for market.
There are nearly 5000 acres contracted
Tor this factory and the campaign prom
ises to be long and profitable one. The
factory employs about 300 men. All this
helps wonderfully to relieve the hard
times, and gives Norfolk quite busy ap-
pearance.
