is stated that more systematic methods
OF mining in Brazil. Australia, the inte-
rior OF Africa. and our own mining
states. even now are yielding surprising
results.
No specific estimate has yet been at
tempted as TO the extent the gold-heids
OF Alaska and British North America
bordering on ALASKA, will Increase the
worlds gold supply. These fields are
practically In the infancy Of their devei-
opment But so far as they have been
developed and prospected they show al
most fabulous richness. and it is argued
that II they should, as It Is claimed 'hey
do. bear out Humboldts theory regarding
the mother gold vein in this country
many more gold-yielding districts VIII
be found in both Alaska and the BRUSH
possessions and their annual total out
put will be enormous for some years 10
come.

TO the Editor of the Dispatch:
After consulting with friends, and ma

withdraw from the contest for the at

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Nearly five hundred teachers are IN at

seem much interested in the pursuit OF
knowledge. The school is well conducted

are well informed, fully equal to coping
with the large classes and the not

many more sessions have come and gone
there may be found in our own
state. or closely allied States, sufficient
talent and proficiency TO furnish instruc-
tors for our schools If we do not
encourage our own people by giving 70
them the employment that brings them

prise. educational or otherwise. we act

That as outsiders do not encourage the
development Of our talent by employing

A most interesting discovery has been
made in a tomb Of the metropolis Of
Votulonia, and which, it IS said by arch
biologists, ranks among the greatest Of
Etrurian finds 1t consists of lot Of
ornamental objects belonging TO the art
of the eighth century, b. c., the princi-
pal amongst which are eight large fibu-
lac. a fine necklace, two large earrings
decorated with meanders Of tiny grains
of gold some splendid hair-pins. and other
articles Of jewelry. The fbulae and the
hair-pins are adorned with figures I'm re-
pousse and in hligree work, representing
professions of fantastic animals Of ORR
entail character and style like the winged
animals Of the Cornthian vases and
those Of the weL-known gold ornaments
of the Regnlini-Galassi tomb I'm the Nati-
can collection and Of the treasury Of
Palestrina. Together with these female
ornaments a sword was also found in
the same grave. The remains Of the
skulls and bones had almost entirely dis
appeared. IT is supposed that the grave
was a family grave, in which husband
and wife were buried. The objects will
| shortly be exhibited at the Etruscan Mu-
scum of Florence.

NIRGINIA NOT IN 1T.

The New York Times whistles edi-
torialy, to keep up the courage of
Bynum & Co., but with that exception.
the New York papers give cold comfort
TO the select few who met in that city
Wednesday for the purpose of devising
ways and means for hitting silver heads
whenever they bobbed up. According TO
the regular reports of the proceedings
gloom was cast over the gathering in
the very beginning by the announcement
that Ex-Governor Flower. who was tenn
porary chairman of the indianapolis
convention had stated that he would sup
port a silver man for Mayor Of New
York. provided he were a good man.
which statement was taken TO mean that
Flower would not so on the stump for
gold this year,

Democracy holds the fort and is deter

Although it was stated on Tuesday
afternoon that it was recognized that
something must be done TO beat back
the free silver idea at the polls I'm Vir-

show that any Nirginian took part in
Wednesdays gathering, either in person
or by proxy.
