PAVEMENT euLaEs FROM HEATH
Section of Main Street in Niagara
Falls Ruined by the Sun.

Section of Main Street in Niagara
Falls Ruined by the Sun.
The extremely hot weather of the last
few days has had singular effect on
a section Of brick pavement in Main,
street, Niagara Falls, N. Y. The BRICKS
have risen in mound form to the height
of three feet, utterly running the street
for driving, in spaces several yards
long.
City Engineer Read and his corps
have been making an'investigaudn into
this particular state of affairs, and his
explanation is that the heat affected
only this one section Of pavement,t
which was laid by separate firm Of
contractors and was due to the lack Of
provision for expansion Of the brick.
The brick was laid in cold weather, and
the bricks were fitted in with cement,
which hardened with an intensity equal
to that of the bricks themselves, maxi
ing practically one solid mass of the
entire sheet Of pavement. When the
intense heat came on this pavement
the bricks expanded, and, as the ce-
ment filling was non-elastic, there
could be only one result. The whole'
sheet had to bulge up.

RIVALS MONTE CHRISTOJ
Gold Placers of Fabulous Rtcha
ness Found in Alaska.
Virgin Gold Waiting to Be Scoop.
ed with Little Trouble-NIiners
Make Fortunes in q
Few Days.

A story rivaling in intensity Of in
terest that told OF the fabulous wealth
of Monte Cristo was related by the pas
sengers of the little steamer Excelsior,
which has just arrived at San Fran
cisco from st. Michaels, Alaska. Mil
lions upon millions of virgin gold, ac-
cording to the story, await the for
tunate miner who has the hardihood
and courage to penetrate into the UNI
known depths of the Yukon district.
There was tangible evidence on the
little steamer of the truth Of the story
told by the travellers, for in the cabin
were scores of sacks filled to the very
mouth with dust" taken from the
placers of the fur frozen north. The
amount brought in is variously esti-
mated at from 100000 to $75o,ooo.
There came in on the Excelsior some
40 people, among them some women,
from what is now known as the Clon-
dyke district, though only IS of these
had been actually engaged in mining.
There were among them men who had
been for more than ten years facing
the dangers and hartlships of the frozen
north, in the hope of making a rich
find, but who signally failed. But now
they come back with fortunes slowed
in their gripsacks and untold millions
to be picked up in the country of which
so little Is known.
The new Eldorado lies just across the
Alaskan boundary, in British territory.
1t is of recent discovery, but already
there are at least 1000 people on the
ground and more are hocking in that
direction. The discovery of the Clon-
dyke regions presents o story that is
uniquely interesting. Around Forty
Mile, on the Yukon, is tribe of Indians
known as the Slickers, and with them
Is man who years ago was known as
George Cormack, but who is now called
"slick George" In September last, at
the head of party of Indians, he left
his hut near Forty Mile camp and start
ed in a southerly direction, saying he
intended to find new gold field before
his return. He came back two weeks
later and startled the miners with the
announcement that 40 miles away there
was gold to be found in plenty. The
streams abounded with the yellow
metal, and all that was needed was for
somebody to pick it up. Many persons
fooked to the place, and in time the
word reached Forty Mile camp that un-
told riches could be found along the
bottom of Bonanza creek and its trib-
utaries. Men who had failed at the
former camp Immediately packed up
their belongings and set out for the
new fields. It was hard and trying
journey, but that was nothing with
the promise Of millions at the end Of
the route.

laughed.

Not on you," he replied, "but on US.
The fact is that adj has been running

hundreds have presented themselves at
the bank, in vain. Now you, an effete
Philadelphian, carry off the prize. Why,
men got tired of applying. Old Gerard
just looked at 'em and gave 'em the
bounce. But, Hugo, what does the old
duck want you to do?"

I detected q note of anxiety in his
voice which puzzled me. George, OF
course, knew the financier; and upon
that knowledge decided to draw lib
orally.
ut was there to take or leave, George.
What sort of a man is Gerard? Tell me
about him.
Hes holy terror, Hugo. And an
other thing, if he pays you ten thousand
dollars a year, he will expect to get
value received. You can gamble on
that"
Poindexter liked the sound of his own
voice and encouraged him to talk. 1t
appeared that Mark Gerard was a most
singular person. He had accumu-
lated large fortune by sucking-I
quote Poindexter-otherm mems brains;
and this vampire-like quality endeared
him to few. He was generous as ca
liph If he liked man; but he had no
friends He was secretive in his bust
ness methods and sensual in his pleas
ures. Certain stories, George added, in
a whisper, were ahoat in clubland;
stories that limited at double life = a
Hyde and Jekyll existence. Gerard had
been known to disappear for months at
a time leaving no clew to his where
abouts. Such persons, according to
George, should be handled with tongs.

was not reassuring; but 1 had no wish
to cancel my dinner engagement. On
the contrary, I cursed the laggard
hours which yawned between appre-
hension and comprehension.
