MxomIng,s cold yields.

The stories which are being told of the
newly discovered gold fields of Wyoming
are wonderful If half of what is told is
true, there is enough gold in the new
fields to so lessen the commercial value
of gold as to close the gap which, at the
ratio of 16 to l. exists between gold and
silver
The new fields are in the heart of the
Sierra Madre mountains, west of the Platt
river and about 60 miles from Rawlins,
the nearest railroad station. The rush to
the mines is greater than it was to Cripple
Creek or the Klondike. In fact, it is re-
ported that pretty nearly the whole state
Of Wyoming has gone gold mad.
The gold is found in a white quartz
a kind of quartz which has not heretofore
been known to carry gold. Some of the
surface specimens have assayed as high as
81, 900 per ton. That assay, however, must
be regarded as exceptional. Most of the
rock which has been assayed has yielded
only a few dollars per ton. No shaft, how
ever, over twenty feet in DEPTH has yet
been sunk, and 1t is therefore, imposst-
BILE to say with any degree of certainty
what the future of the mines will be. 1t
is believed by some, however, the discover
les will prove to be very rich and will I'LL
timately yield much more than the mines
of California have. There is a small noun
tain about mile in diameter, which Is
called the Mountain of Gold" because 1t
is believed that the whole of it will yield
gold. The specimen which assayed ST. 900
to the ton was picked up on this mountain.
How large the gold fields are, and wheth-
er they will be found to be of little or no
value at a small distance below the sur
face, are questions which cannot yet be
answered, but it will be known within a
comparatively short time whether the
mines are as rich as the surface findings
Indicate.
Mining will be carried on throughout the
winter The region is dreary, but the con-
ditions are not like that at Klondike Shell
ter can be provided without much cost and
food is easily obtainable.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-11-09

The republican newspapers and politi-
clans are trying to make 1t appear that
Hon. Hannis Taylor, minister to Spain I'M
der Mr.. Cleveland's administration, as
guilty Of a great indiscretion in publishing
his views of the Cuban trouble. The arti-
Gle which is being attacked appeared IN the
North American Review. The Morning
News called attention to the leading fea-
lures of 1t few days ago. Naturally the
members Of the Spanish government do
not approve the article, because it says
nothing particularly complimentary 20
Spain, but that is no reason why republi-
can papers should say that Mr.. Taylor
violated the confidence reposed in him by
the Spanish government and used the In
formation given him In his capacity of
minister TO attack the government whose
guest he was.
Mr. Taylor does not think he has given
the public any facts which were not OBJ
tainable by any one desiring them. His
article contains his Views relative to the
cause OF the insurrection in Cuba and the
policy this government ought to pursue in
dealing with the Cuban trouble. He ex-
presses the view that Spain will not grant
Cuba home rule. because she doesn't know
what home rule means.
The rather frank opinion Of Spanish
craftsmanship which Mr.. Taylor expresses
may seem to Spain to be little discour-
teous, but that opinion does not justify
the statement of some republican newspa-
pers that Mr.. Taylor's indiscretlon In pub
fishing secrets gained in his official capac-
ity makes it impossible for Mr.. Woodford,
our present minister to Spain, to render
this country effective service because of
the distrust which the Spanish government
has of American diplomats-distrust due
to Mr.. Taylors action.
Mr.. Taylor made no disclosures which
etiquette required him to keep secret,
though it pleases his political enemies
to assert that he has. Being a southern
man, ne has very little chance for justice
at the hands of republican newspapers.
He Is we'll able to take care of himself,
however. He is so firmly convinced that
the course he has pursued is the right one
from every point of view that he is entire
ly willing to have it understood that he
alone is responsible for whatever he has
published in respect to Cuban affairs.

Anecdotes of Crowned Heads.

The Queen of Portugal recently, while
out walking with lady of honor in the
environs of Lisbon, heard cries for assist
ance coming from a neighboring wood.
says the London Morning Post. she went
to see what was the matter, and found
that a wood cutter had been injured by a
branch of falling tree striking him on
the head. Queen Amelie, who has studied
medicine, attended to the mans injury
and then with her companion assisted him
to reach his cabin. Later on the queen
called to see how her patient was. "Then
you are a doctor, madam, since you know
how to take care of me?' asked the wood
cutter, who did not know his benefactress
Yes, my good man." was the reply. II
am very sorry for that" continued the
wood cutter, because will never be able
to pay all | owe you. But you must give
me your address, and as soon as can go
out | will bring you a basket of fresh eggs
and butter by way of thanks" The queen
replied evasively, and the surprise of the
wood cutter may be imagined when he
subsequently learned the rank of the lady
physician
Gratitude of a somewhat similar nature
inspired the cabman who last winter had
an accident near Monte Carlo, and was as
sisted by the Emperor of Austria, who
happened to be passing on foot The cab
going back TO Nice, and If you like, I'll
give you lift. One good turn deserves
another"
The Queen of the Belgians and Princess
Clementine, during the summer, reside
at Spa, and daily take long drives in a
pony cart One of their most recent adj
ventures took place at a farm house,
where they called to buy a glass of milk.
Nobody but an old paralyzed woman was
In the house, and she replied that no milk
was left In the jugs, and that she was I'M
able to go to milk cow. Never mind, -
said the queen, 'if you will allow me,
will go to the pasture. Just tell me where
the jugs are" But my dear lady, you
are from the town, and you will never be
able to milk a cow" objected the old wo-
man. She was, however, mistaken, for a
little later her majesty returned with a
half-flled jug. Meantime, Princess Gle
mentine had laid on the table three bowls,
a loaf, and the needful knives and plates.
The old farmers wife was served by the
princess, who, it appears, greatly enjoyed
the adventure.
