up to such division. God is not going to permit the Mohammedans to rule much longer without punishment for their atrocities committed on Christians. Now that the appeal has been to the sword, I do not believe that there will be any compromise. I doubt that the powers will interfere to suppress Greece. The nations of Europe may take hand in the conflict, and as they are all jeal
 ous of one another it is difficult to see what will follow. This government will not permit our missionaries in Turkey and Greece to suffer through this war.

The skull has a hole in the front or forehead resem bling one made by 44-calibre rifle or pistol. The skeleton has indications of having been buried some length of time. There was no evidence ot box or coffin. The neighbors know nothing of anyone having been buried at this place, and thus far it's presence remains a mystery.

The greatest fortress in the world is Gibraltar. The height oI the rock is over 400 feet, and this stupendous precipice is pierced by miles of galleries in the solid stone, port-holes for cannon being placed at frequent intervals. The rock is perfectly impregnable to the shot of an enemy, and, by means of the great elevation, plugging fire can be directed from an enormous height upon hostile f5e5. From the water batteries to dis tance of twot thirds up the rock one tier after another of cannon IS presented to the enemy. A garrison of from 5000 to 10000 is maintained with provisions and ammunition for six months siege. In 1779 the celebrated siege lasted three years The fortress was successfully de- tended by 1000 British and attacked by an army of over 10000 men, with 1000 pieces of artillery, AZ sail of the line, 10 great floating batteries, and great num- bers of smaller boats. For months over 5000 shells day were thrown into the tower

never saw one.-Clarence Odell Finch in Rocky Mountain Editor.

Of the prospector Sam Davis says in the Chatauquan: "To tho brave and rugged prospector, with his cheap outfit of mining tools, his empty stomach, and his hopeful heart is due the rapid devel- opment of the West. At the tap of his pick the doors of nature's treasure vaults open :; but their wealth is not for him. The stock sharks, the speculators and the promoters rob him of his interest, and the snow is no sooner sinking from the slopes of the foothills than the poor fellow is vending his course into new ter ritory. He appears Tn the rocky fast nesses of the mountains, and, with no companions but his pick and frying pan, is lost to memory. Suddenly comes the news of another discovery, and city rises like pillar of flame in the wilder. ness. Lucky Bill has struck it rich,' gambled away his pile and pushed on. The bones of hundreds of the advance couriers of civilization blaze the path of progress in the West, or moulder in for gotten graves, while in their wake are teeming cities they have founded and the ceaseless murmur of the money seeking multitude whose fortunes they have builded."

EIGHTY MILLIONS OF GOLD

Chicago. Oct. 13.-The Times Herald
today publishes reports from all the
-proiucin, sections Of the country
showing an enormous increase in the
output for 1897. On the subject the
Times Herald says:
Gold production in the United
States has increased with marvellous
rapiiitv during the current year The
craze OF the klondike region should
no, obscure the great facts as they ex-
ist. klondike's total yield for 1897
seems roughly to be about SIS 900. 900.
Tina, is a comfortable sum. but i, is a
mere nothing when compared with the
wonderful output OF the yellow metal
in the United States"
The Times-Herall. estimating the
total output FOR 1897 of California,
Colo-a 10, the Black hills, Arizona.
Montana, Idaho and Oregon, places the
figures at 81, 300,o 600, and says:
Washington, Wyoming. New Mex
leo and Nevada will also be heavy
producers, and their yield will be
enormously increased. Counting this
with the Klondilse estimated production
of $4,000. 900, the yield OF the United
States for 1897 will exceed $50. 900, 600,
one-,hird OF the worlds estimated out
put for the year.
