man of this city in which he states frankly
he does not expect to be believed.
This is a great mining strike" says

gold One thousand dollars to the pan is
not an uncommon thing, and as high as 100
ounces have been taken out in a single

in with all the gold dust they can carry.
You would not believe me when I tell
you that 1 went into one cabin and counted
five fve-gallon oil cans full of gold dust;
but 1t Is a fact. 1t is the result Of the
work of two men during the winter, and
the dump is not much more than half
worked out.
May Take Out $JO,OOO.OOO Next Year.
There has been about s., O0O, 900 in dust
taken out so far in the district. At a low
estimate l believe there will be $50, 600 600

Compliments from Brownsville.

A big and enthusiastic crowd of
ladies and gentlemen witnessed the
foot ball game between the w. V.
u. second team and the Brownsville
foot ball teams at Riverview park on
Saturday afternoon. The contest
was exciting throughout and ended
in a tied score, each eleven having
made two touch downs and one goal
from touch down. One of West Vir-
ginia's scores, however, was the re
suit of a tumble by Brownsville's
backs at the beginning of the game
the only disappointing feature of
the struggle for victory. West Vir-
GINA excelled in team work and
their mass plays were successful
against the heavy line of the local
team. For Brownsville, Orr was the
star ground gamer, but each of the
backs played beautifully, and the
mass plays, too, were effective. The
contest was notable for the gentle
manly conduct on the part of the
players. The university boys are
handsome and manly lot of students
and do credit to their school,

LINCOLN AT SCHOOL.
A Schoolmate of the President Tells Of
His Early Life.


Mr.. George Ii. Yenowine contributes
a paper OH '"fhe Birthplace Of Lincoln"
TO st. Nicholas. Mr.. Yenowine quotes
the following from an old man named
Austin Gollaher, who went to school
with the emancipation: Lincoln was an
unusually bright boy, and he made good
progress in his books-better than al
most any one else in school-and he
studied very hard, although he was
young. He would get spice wood bushes
and hack them up on q log and put a
few of them in the fire at time to
make light for him to read his books
by. 1t did not make very good light,
but it was all he had at night. Young
Lincoln was never good looking. He
was angular and awkward. His mother
was q rather slim woman of medium
height. Tom Lincoln his father, was
tail. Abe was not very much like him,
for Tom Lincoln had fuller face and
was of heavier build.
In answer to a question as to Lin
coins brothers or sisters, the old man

out at Versailles, could it be recovered.
