FOUND TREASURE TROVE.
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 q
large amount of treasure says 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 inebriety
the men exhibited a lot of gold coin and
a quantity of gold nuggets to Il rancher
in Alpine valley.
The exhibition of so much wealth by
the heretofore povertystricken coal max
ers excited a lively controversy among
the residents of that section, and the fact
that the two men had been at work on
the johnson place. went far to confirm
the reports of the treasure trOye. BY w.
w. 1arWater, who has resided in 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 a comfortable house and 9TH
erwise improved the place. Shortly after
settling in the valley the old man re-
ceived a legacy of over $4,000 in gold by
the death of a brother in the East, and
having no confidence in banks the old
gentleman hid the money with his gold
dust in a 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 by Syndicate.

minnesota Lands Containing These Min
erals Bought by Syndicate.
Much interest has been aroused in Du-
luth over information that quantity of
mineral land in Lake and Cook counties,
Mimi, 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 i'll large quantities as on the de-
posits of nickel, silver and gold, which
are said to be very valuable.
The 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
purchased a 4O-acre tract. Another forty
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
ing secured for assays.
Out of this land, amounting to 14S,OO0
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 us
good as that al ST. anthony 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 SIC 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 $3.50 Il 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.
1t is claimed that it will cost but So q
ton to do the mining. which will be
entirely met by the gold and silver de-
posts in the ore. Seven of the speci-
mems ran from u to 10 per cent. of
aluminium to the ton, the nickel in one
specimen running as high as II per cent.
and averaging above 10 per cent.

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 a day, the greatest number of wrecks
recorded in one year being 425, and the
smallest 154. About so per cent of
these vessels became total wrecks, all
the crews being lost In the four years
1S77-S1 no less than 700 lives We're 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 i'll 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
wegians, and run for many years after
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
proportionate number of wrecks is de-

Something Like an Oyster.

An extraordinary oyster shell is owned
by a Portland man. 1t is almost two
feet in length and one and one-half feet
in width. The shell is very rough on
the outside. and white and smooth and
beautiful on the inside. 1t is at least
three inches thick in the central portion
and is very massive and heavy. 1t tips
the scales at thirty-seven pounds. Of
course. the two halves Of the shells
would weigh at least twice that, or sew
enty-four pounds. These huge oyster
shells were brought to Portland in the
fve-masted schooner Governor Ames on
the occasion of her last visit here, some
years ago.
The oyster was secured alive in Japan,
and made stew that was more than
enough for eight men. The whole oys-
ter, when alive, weighed eighty-two
pounds. Leaving out the seventy-four
pounds for the shell, and there are eight
pounds that the oyster itself must have
weighed Sprin gfield Union.

pronounced in the opinion that for
gastric troubles, or for any irregu-
larity proceeding from disordered

Tabules were remedy of amazing
effectiveness. He understands

like many other apparently local
