RUCK GOLD.
A Paying VEN OF the Precious Metal Said
to Have Been Discovered.

Paying VEN OF the Precious Metal Said
to Have Been Discovered.
A report is in circulation at Little
Rock that gold in paying quantities had
been struck in the Thalheimer-Rotta-
ken mine, which is situated about five
miles southwest of the city. Work was
first commenced on the mine January
last, but very little information was
given to the public. 1t was held back
for some reason, and the public never
dreamed of the great progress made at
the mine. A full equipped plant has
been put in at a cost of many thousands
of dollars. 1t is said gold was found
shortly after work was begun, but a
paying vein has been struck. The strike
was made at a depth of 80 feet.
One of the stockholders, says the
Little Rock Gazette, said there was no
mistake about the strike. Gold had
been found in paying quantities The
mine was first worked by Mexicans and
has been lost until recently. On ac-
count of the strike a number of mining
leases have been made on the property
adjoining the gold and graphite mines.

State Auditor Mills aud Treasurer Gulley
Return from New York.
State Treasurer Gulley and Auditor

The object of their hurried trip to the

years ago by ex-Treasurer Henry Page,
with the Union Trust company, subject
sas. The bonds and coupons brought
back represent $4,000 in round num-
bers, and Auditor Mills next report
will show decrease of $500, 900 from
the official statement of two years ago.
The bonds were readily surrendered by
the trust company.

Arkansas practically embraces 10 de-

MORE FUN THANFISH
Cleveland Has a Merry Time--Result
Of the Presidents Trip Down the
River With Secretary Morton aud
Commissioner Miller.
Chicago Record.

Chicago Record.
Washington, D. c., April 24.-Three
fat men from Washington went fishing
in West Virginia yesterday and got
home at 1880 o'clock last night. They
started out very early in the morning
and whipped a trout stream from its
source in beautiful sylvan spring to
its outlet in the Potomac river. The
distance was about six miles and the
most Of the way they were compelled
to stumble over freshly plowed ground
This experience ought to set at rest all
doubt OF the physical capacity OF Grow
er Cleveland If any further evidence
is wanted it can be furnished by Sec
rotary Morton and Joseph S. Miller,
commissioner OF internal revenue.
They consider a journey of six miles
over plowed ground a gooG deal of q
JOB. and are complaining of little
stiffness in their joints UhiS morning.
The usufruct OF this expedition was
twenty-Seven trout and one sucker
The latter was caught by Secretary
Morton, and suggested a story which
the President told TO his cabinet to-day
with great JUNCTION. He said that a
young man. who went out west, like
the prOdigal sen telegraphed home for
money, but within a few hours after
his anxious father had received the first
dispatch there came another which
was originally written as follows:
Need not send funds. | have found
succOr.' which an irreverent telegraph
operator rendered as follows: Need
not send funds; have found a sucker"
After spending the morning whipping
the trout stream the President and his
party ate hearty lunch, including
some of their catch fried in an old-fash-
Toned West Virginia skillet. Then they
got into boat and went out into the
Potomac to fish for bass, where the
President Of the United States demon
Strated that he is patient as well as
an enduring man. These three great
fishermen sat in that boat from 2:30 TO
$50 p. m, and caught one fish The
President had the honor of feeling
feeble nibble, and when he drew up
his line he found that a portion of the
minnOw he offered as bait had been
bitten off the hook. That was the only
excitement he experienced during The
three hours that ne sat cross-legged
in the boat with an old SLOUGH hat
drawn over his forehead to keep the
sun out of his eyes. Secretary Morton
did not ever get a ni5ble, and became
very tired before the three hours were
exhausted.
Commissioner Miller caught one bass.
small one, which he threw back into
the river This act of humanity was
misconstrued by the President, who
now asserts that it was a trained fish
which Mr.. Miller keeps in that part Of
the Potomac, where he often fishes. and
has taught it TO bite at his hook when
ever he throws it in. The President
remembers that the last time he was
fishing with Commissioner Miller he
caught a bass about the same size in
the same place and in the same way.
and Immediately threw it into the water
again, as he did yesterday. Mr.. Cleve-
land insists that ii is the same fish.

that they will be we'll organized and

dates are rather slow about taking the
field, but this is the natural result Of
the long lull we have been passing
through, especially are our candidates
for Congress little slow in coming to
the front. The election is six months
off and the general feeling is that there
is time enough for general organization
and a sharp aggressive campaign.
There has been some criticism upon
Judge Bennett that he has not an
nounced whether he will make the race
for Governorship. The last semi-au-
thOritive statement | saw from him
was that if the Democracy deemed him
available that he would accept the nom
nation and make red hot fight He
will be released from his BraXton court
in 10 days or two weeks more and, as
| understand. will then look over the
field and define his position. That he
is talented, well equipped for the cam
paign and would make one of the best
Governors the State has ever had goes
without saying. He has been confined
to his judicial duties nearly the whole
year, and as the nominating convention
is nearly four months off, is is reason
able that he should have reasonable
time to consider the subject under the
new condition of things, especially as
other candidates are not prepared to
declare themselves.
