NORTHERN GOLD
As Accounted for in Professor Wallis
Theory

Theory
A few days ago The Herald cited the
theory Of Prof I. N Vail of Pasadena
to account for the large deposits of gold
recently discovered in Alaska and the
northwest territory. 1t will be interest
ing to follow Prof. Wallis theory further
in the following, which is quoted from
a current issue of the Annular World: :
Is the Annular student watching the
stirring reports that come from the land
of amazing wealth, Alaska? We trust
the reader will bear In mind what we
have said about that region. Under the
Arctic circle must be the deposit ground
for Unreasonable quantities of the fire.
born matter that went to the skies and
rolled around the earth for millions of
years as an annular system. Gold was
one of these fiery Installations and under
any ordinary influence of distillation the
great mass Of that gold must remain in
the deposit ground From the very ma
ture of the case quartz beds must be
absent from that land, and the gold is
the dust, grains and nuggets that have
rained down from the north polar skies
for ages AS glacier SHOWS from the
gion from the very close of azoic time
down to the last glacial period, carrying
with them all that they contained, there
can hardly be glacial bed that does
not contain gold
There was the least opportunity for the
formation of quartz beds in such a region
as that, and hence we gave it as neces-
sary condition that all rock in Alaska is
likely to contain gold just as we'll as the
scanty quartz may contain it. Men will
hunt in vain, as we think, for quartz
beds in the canyons and, gulches Of
Alaska. The gold is in the loose de-
posits, in dust, grains and nuggets.
In these forms they rolled about the
earth, in these forms they fell. Such of
the gold dust as was carried off and
deposited in silicious waters became
locked up in the slowly forming beds OF
quartz. But Alaska, together with the
north world generally, was region of
disturbance in all the ages, and miners
and capitalists will do we'll to remember
that loss of time and money will be most
likely to result in all endeavor to locate
original quartz gold beds in the hillsides
of that region.
region we would confine our efforts to
the sand beds of all ages. Wherever we
could find a moraine bed from the old
glacier, whether in the interior or on
the oceans shore, we would expect to
find it ten to one, rather than find a bed
of quartz. Now we do not say that no
quartz veins can be found in Alaska
There may have been regions of quiet
seas-regions where annular storms did
not break in their fury. Alaska is land
of upheaval, and, its very an
cient upthrusts may contain true
veins of virgin gold. Discoveries
of such veins may indeed be
expected, but we want to urge the
fact that rich gold deposits in the loose
beds of Alaska are no signs of the pres
ence near at hand of gold bearing quartz

/ Already several cases have come to the
knowledge of the Herald wherein people
were bitterly sold and are naturally
enough very indignant. Some were adj
mitted into the store others were not.
In answer to all enquiries whether in
side the store or on the street the only
consolation afforded was the following
document which was thrust into the
eager hands of the job-seekers:
LOS ANGELES, Cal. July 49, 1897.
The diamond jubilee committee acknowl-
edges with thanks for the Chldren's Aid
society the donation from Messrs. William

This means of raising funds for the

did not commend itself to those who had
spent ten cents in car fare-which to
them was as big as a cart wheel-in
coming to answer the "ad.," nor to those
who had left their work in the hope of
landing a prize.
1t was cruel fake and one which-if
the document is authenticate "Dia-
mond Jubilee Committee" with G. White
Mortimer as president and G. T. Spowart
secretary, will have difficulty in explain
ing away. The queen of England surely
does not want such means employed to

their business, as he would of any ordi-

Willie was spokesman and started in
to tell the same story that he had told
another officer a few days ago, about
having been taken away from Pomona
by a man who had left the brothers at
the Arcade depot. But he couldn't make
it stick. The policeman had heard the
story before, so he decided to bring the
lads to the police station.
Officer Cicotte happened to be at the
desk. He recognized the prisoners and
also remembered his former experience
with them. Their story didn't go here.

are brought in here for running away
I will see that you are horsewhipped and

Both held their heads down for an in

tears still streaming down his face and
whimpered:
do we get anything to eat in the
chain gang?"
Word was yesterday telephoned to
Mrs. Hunter from the police station

He would pay 100000 for the
privilege, and then clear $S,000,000

sor as he bowed his kingly head and
awaited reply from the lips of the
girl whose pure and luxuriaut
beauty had wound itself with slow
Cuban-recognition movement among
the innermost tendrils OF his heart.
He was a tall, handsome man,
with face like Greek god, a
chiseled mouth whose habitual
cynical expression when in repose
was now concealed by tassel Of the
window curtain, and figure like a
disc thrower's in the Vatican.
Cecil d Sykes Montressor was not
man to brook delay. Beneath his
cold, polished exterior lay Vesuvius-
like passions, and one to look at his
delicate hands-slender and cared
for like woman's-would little
think that his grip contained but a
few soiled collars and half dozen
bricks. And yet, as he listened for
the answer to the question he had
asked Vera Van Rafferty,, such was
his marvellous self-control that his
savoir faire and aplomb did not
suffer his agitation to become APP
parent.
Vera Van Rafferty, did not answer.
Her eyes were gazing out the win
dow, and her statuesque face showed
no trace of emotion.
"Vera, did you hear my question:"
The voice Of Cecil D. Sykes
Montressor vibrated with intense
emotion. Blase, cynical man Of the
world as he was, believing nothing,
fearing nothing, paying nothing, the
insoucant grace and spring like
freshness of this young girl cut con-
siderable ice with him.
The girl turned her face toward
him, and her eyes rested for mo-
ment upon the low, sensuous curves
of his watch-chaip, but she did not
speak. There were tears in her eyes
and dumb pleading in her whole
attitude, but her lipe refused to
form the answer for which he
waited.
Suddenly Cecil d. Sykes-M ontres-
sor's manner changed. A steelly CLINT
came into his eyes, and he took his
foot off the inlaid Henri Quartre
writing table with naughty GEES
ture. He raised his royal head Will
the old superb grace that Vera
knew so well, and with a bursting
heart she saw him get his hat of the
coal scuttle, bow coldly and walk to
the door.
Still she did not speak.
When he had gone the girl, with a
look Of desperate resolve upon her
face, seized jeweled case knife that
lay upon the table and pried open
her teeth that had been stuck fast
together with the fatal caramel.
Then, as she realized that Cecil d.
Sykes Montressor had gone out of
her life forever, she slowly Kissed

European Markets

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.--The Evening
Posts London financial cablegram says:
The business in the stock markets here
today was entirely centered in Americans,
in which dealings were enormous. The
slight rise in New York exchange was off
set by a rise in the price Of coin. Prices
closed practically at the best. but ami
mated street dealings are still proceeding.
The position here in Americans is peculiar.
Berlin is undoubtedly buying largely. 1t
is equally certain that the English public
is also buying freely, but-and here comes
the peculiarity-it is apparently new pub
lie, and side by side with the fresh buy
ing, extensive sales are made by those who
have been waiting for years to get re-
turns. 1t is difficult to say, therefore.
whether the sales or purchases have pre-
dominated here-probably the latter today.
Kaffirs were weak due to an interruption
of the cable service and the diversion of
attention to Americans. Gold was in strong
demand, but there were no more with
drawals from the bank The Paris bourse
has been steady, but the close was fiat.
Apparently mines had been bought too
freely there. The Berlin market was cheer

TERMINAL YACHT RACE
All the Cracks to Compete-The Course
PROPERLY Buoyed

The yacht race which takes place off
Terminal island next Sunday is likely to
be very exciting. and lovers of the sport
will no doubt see some fine racing. Since
the last race, held month ago, there has
been much rivalry among the sailing
boats, many of the owners claiming that
the ]. Wiley, the winner ofthe boat race,
can be walked away with. With this end
in view the Flying Bird, F'unchal and
Eureka are being overhauled and every
known device for speed will be used. The
Eureka this time will be sailed by crack
yachtsman, but the Flying Bird will be
handled by Joe Medina as before,
though with two extra hands. Joe Sylvia
is ready to put his whole fortune on the
Funchal, and, barring accidents, is likely
to make it hot for the j. Wiley and the
others.
Yesterday the Catalina was busy setting
out the buoys, which are larger and more
easily seen than before, and during the
afternoon some of the boats took the
opportunity of sailing over the course
so as to be familiar with the wind and
currents. There is some talk of the Nellie
having a previous engagement, but
Frank Whitley it not the man to be
afraid of racing and won't lay himself
open to such an innuendo
