Rich Deposits OF Gold Reported Found
In Ontario.

Attoh DepooNa OF tOlu hepOFte0 Found
In Ontario.
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Sept THE
Michipicotten gold strike is more than
has been claimed for it, This Is the
opinion Of the first party Of 500 pros
pectoTs. who returned last night on the
yacht Mary Belle They are all well
known citizens and include eK-MayoT
Jay Hursley, City Comptroller G.. G.
Scranton. Circuit Court Stenographer
John A. France Fred Price and others
occupying places of prominence In the
business world Of this city They left
for the gold district last Monday and
arrived there on Wednesday afternoon
There was only one experienced pros
pector with the party. but soon every
member caught on.
The first day out several promising
claims were found, and every member
secured one. Judging from the samples
brought back they have made a rich
strike. The members Of the party re-
turned for provisions and the like, but
left T 8. Llsle and G. l.. Mitchell on
the ground to protect their interests.
r. @. Ferguson, a retired merchant,
who returned with the party, has full
descriptions and left for Toronto last
night 10 file his application for the land.
Every man who returned last night
already considers himself as fabulous
~ rich. The eX-mayor said that the
gold flnd on Lake Wawa was so rich
that unless one was on the ground It
Is almost impossible to form def
nice Idea OF the immense wealth OF the
country. He said that quartz showing
free gold Is obtainable almost every
where. 10 many places the particles of
gold are as large as grain of wheat
and fairly stick out Of the quartz. This
quartz Is OF a free milling variety, ana
experts say Il can be mined profitably
where It shows an assay OF SO a ton.
The mining experts now In the coun-
try say that some Of the quartz viii as
say over 800 TO the ton The quartz
surrounding this gold can be pounded
up In an ordinary druggists mortar
and can be panned out in this way. The
mayor added
In my opinion the deposits extend
over hundreds of thousands OF acres.
There are an abundance Of veins
showing free gold and promising indi-
cations in all the mOutains around Lake
Wawa. The men in our party have
staked out nearly LOCO acres, in all OF
which the quartz veins show plenti-
fully
'Prospectors are not yet numerous In
this district. and when we left Satur-
day morning there were only about 200
men on the ground. but tents were
spTtnging up as II by magic. and city
win soon exist in the unprospected
country around Lake Wawa."

THE NEW RULES

We trust every Republican in the
county will carefully read the rule.
herein presented They are concise
and at the same time as comprehen-
sive as may be necessary for the
government of the party machinery
There can be no question in the
mind of any delegate who was pres
ent at the recent Republican con
vention of the necessity for rules
to govern the conduct OF party af-
fairs
These rules, as will be seen, sim
ply place the power in the hands of
the voters They leave all ques-
tions to be decided by them, and
also the selection Of the persons who
will be the nominees of the party
The voice of the people is supreme
and when fairly expressed at the
polls it should be cheerfully ac-
quiesced in and receive the hearty
assent of all. We desire united and
harmonious party action. We may
differ in our opinion as to men and
their qualifications for Office but
when the people have had a fair op-
portunity to express by their votes
a choice it is the duty of every party
man to render cordial support. The
provision that the County Commit
tee shall be elected by the voters of
the county and mot by a packed
mass convention win forcibly ap-
peal as it seems to us, to every fair
minded man. The election of del
egate to the State convention fby
the voters within a short time prior
to the meeting of that body, and af-
ter the names, and the qualifica-
tions Of the candidates are fully
known, will enable the Republicans
of the county to express their pre-
ference, and the deles ate who goes
to represent them will understand
the sentiment Of his constituents.
The party had no rules, it could
not act in concert nor make united
effort against it's common enemy,
under the rules, it will as party,
designate the men who arc to man
age its affairs, and be its standard
bearers.
Again we invite careful CON
sideration of the rules as adopted by
the convention to the end that
wherein they may be fairly objec-
tionable, or whatever is lacking to
make them efficient in expressing
or carrying out the will of the peo-
pie may be altered or amended at
the adjourned convention.

CHARLES a. GILLETT nominated
by the Republican convention a
candidate for Jury Commissioner, is
a well-known and highly esteemed
citizen Of Lackawaxen township.
He will make careful competent
official, and one creditable to the
party The office while apparently
insignificant is one which involves
great interests to the citizens of the
county, for, upon the manner in
which the Jury Commissioners fill
the wheel, the care they exercise in
the selection of names and in the
performance Of every duty devolv-
ing on them rests to a degree the
security Of property and the safety
of person, because in their hands to
a certain extent rests the character
of the juries which pass upon those
questions. Our nominee will no
doubt fill the above requirements in
a satisfactory manner.

Telling a Dangerous Chimney.

There is only one way of saving
chimney OUT plumb from collapse If
the bend increases-that is, to cut a
slice out Of the masonry on the other
side, 80 that it may sink on that side
and bring itself straight. But that
method, though efficacious at times,
often weakens the structure. The only
other alternative is to pull down and
build afresh, and there are two ways OF
doing that. One is to pull the chimney
down, stone by stone, beginning at the
top, a tedious method and terribly
risky one if the structure be tottering
to its fall The other method the writer
has often seen practiced In Lancashire
and Yorkshire. At a mill few miles
outside of Manchester, for instance, a
dangerous chimney had to be ''felled'
not long ago, and the contractor started
to cut away the brickwork at the base
on five out Of its eight sides. Once,
thinking it was about to settle on him,
he and his men hurried away, but the
fall did not take place, and they re-
turned to work. The gaps were propped
up with timber and the structure sup
ported in this way till the proper time.
Then the wood was soaked with par
ATTN and daubed with rosin and ignited.
The flames and smoke poured up the
chimney with "a great roar, and the dar
ing man fingered at the foot for quar-
ter of an hour, feeding the flame at ono
point SO the wood might collapse there
first and the chimney take that dlrec
ton in its fall. At length the balki
gave way, the chimney tottered, theI
leaned over in circular fashion ant
finally collapsed in the middle and fel
in q heap. The climber told the write
that he distinctly preferred to bring
chimney down in that way, for once
while taking down shaft in a nortl
Lancashire district he heard it groal
and creak and had only time to sill
down the rope and rush away when
| fell. chambers Journal.

A Cow Worth More Than a Man.

In the United States the administra-
ton of the law affecting the civil rights
of the citizen, his property rights grow
ing out of controversies between man
and man upon contracts, has come to be
regarded rs of much more importance
than the enforcement of the law which
protects the life of the citizen. All can
notice that The criminal law and its
administration have rather fallen into
disgrace. That is especially true of the
large cities of the country. All must
agree that it is more important to pro-
tect q mans life than it is his property.
If the mans life il destroyed, If the as
sassin fires into his house and takes
away his life, is that not greater dep
rivation than to despoil him of his
horse or his COW or even of all the other
property which he possesses? Now why
is this the case? 1t is largely because of
the corrupt methods resorted to to de-
feat the laws administration and be-
cause courts Of Justice look to the shad-
ow In the shape Of technicalities rather
than to the substance in the shape OF
crime. NORTH American Review.
