Representative Hi,born, of California,
is one of the best posted men in Congress
on the subjec. of gold mining, having for
years been Interested in the business in
California.
He said to a &ar reporter to-day that
some time before the newspaper stories
of the great gold discoveries in Alaska be
had been receiving letters from old
miners, who were friends, telling him OF
the immense deposits Of gold in the
Klondyke country.
II have no doubt" said Judge Hilborn,
''that the Klondyke discoveries will prove
the greatest in the history of the world.
From my knowledge of gold mining ]
should think that there will be paying
quantities of the precious metal to be
found in Alaska for years to come"
Judge Hilborn does not think the rigors
of the climate are such as have been por"
trayed. He said that if he had been al
his home be would have made a trip to
the gold fields merely for the purpose OIL
learning the facts for himself. lie be.
lieves that the world is on the eve of 8
great revival in gold mining. The rush
to the Klondyke country and the talk o.
the rich finds thore will lead prospectors
in every part of the country to begin
hunting for gold. Many OF them Will Dt

gold has boon mined in former years new
life will be taken on. In Southern, as
well as in Western States, gold fields
were worked in years past and were
abandoned because the quartz did lot
yield enough to make money. Under
new processes quartz which pays a few
dollars a ton car be worked with profit
In Judge Hilborn's State money is being
made out OF property quartz paying S: 81

His grave was struck, the lightning tear

has resched in years, and the indications
are that it will go higher. OF course, the
Western farmers are happy. Theadvance

A musical bicycle has been invente

a musical bicycle has been invented
by a man in Presberg, Austria. The
motion of the wheel grinGs out a tune
like a hand organ, and the rider rolls
along to the strains OF delightful har-
mony.
1t is a strange fact that, while tho
teeth of the negro on the cd plantations
were remarkable for their whiteness,
those of the freed negro of the present
day are in an indefinitely worse condition
tina: those of his white brother. This Is
owing entirely 10 the change of diet and
the colored mans weakness for sweet
meats.
