NAL as is imagined. for in handling
and moving them from one pond to

and carried about in baskets, much
like corn or potatoes. Sometimes
they are out Of the water thirty min

there. There is said to be in the

use is for tipping gold pens. For this

Where the Duck Found Gold.

News comes from Ainslie, Lewis
County, Wash, that Mrs. N. Hender.
son last week found several pieces
''punkin seed" gold in the craw of
duck she had purchased OF local
butcher, snys the San Francisco Gall.
Tne pieces were larger than fiat
seed and looked as though they had
been in the ducks storage de partment
for some time.
Male members Of the Henderson
family began an immediate investiga-
tion. The found the duck had been
secured from Winlock firm, which in
turn had purchased it of settlers living
in the Cowlitz Valley, east of Win
lock.
Near their ranch range OF hills
rises up from the valley. 1t was de-
cided to do some prospecting among
these hills and an expedition was
organized. Late last week the pres
pectors' search was rewarded by the
finding OF several quartz seams near
together at point about seven miles
from Winlock. Charles johnson and
one OF Mrs. Henderson's sons are, re-
ported to have made the lucky discov-
cry. They staked out claims and then
returned home for provisions and
tools with which to do development
work.
Since tEen snow has covered the
hills, but il it does not get too deep a
shaft will be sunk this winter. The
quartz found appears to bo rich in
gold. and assays are now being made.
From the way the seams run it is be
liovod that they will form into one
wide vein short distance below the
surface.
The find has caused considerable ex-
citement at Winlock. Several ducks
and geese in the valley have subse-
quently been killed to provo the Hen
derson story from Ainslie. In ono
of these coarse gold. identical in char
acter with that first found. was dis

5O,OOO,OOO Slaves In Africa.

He'll Chatelain, n traveller in the
Dark Continent, lectured before the
American Geographical Society in
New York on "The Internal Slave
Trade in Africa"
'If any one thinks that slave trad
ing is thing of the past" he said. CO
quoted in the New York Sun, che is
mistaken. Among tho 200, 900, 900 OF
people in Africa, at least $4,000, 900
are slaves"
Ii British estimate to which he re-
ferred was correct, Mr.. Chatelnin said,
500, 900 lives were sacrificed every
year in the traffic. For every slave
that reached the coast, eight or nine
were sent to the interior. The idea
still prevailing that all of the slave
traders in Africa we're Arabs or M.
tives was a gross error. In large
part of the interior, slaves we're the
regular currency. Parents sold their
children. This internal slave trade of
Africa was the real open sore of the
world, ms it was in Livingston's time.
In Morocco" the lecturer added,
"slave trading is carried on under the
protection of our Stars and Stripes.
Moroccan Jews, who are prohibited by
law from holding slaves, place them
selves under the protection of our flag
in order to carry on the traffic"
There were in some parts of the
country, he continued, houses for rails
ing slave children. who 'und ready
market. He told as al instance Of the
mortality among the slaves, by whom
most Of the porterage is done. OF one
explorer who started in with 450 men,
of whom all that came out we're 100.
"The first slave caravan that I saw"
ho said, chad twenty women. The
leader told me that fifty of his lot had
died on tho way to the coast."
The lecturer showed picture Of q
slave SO fastened that ho could NOT
move limb or turn his face from the
broiling sun that beat on it. He also
showed pictures of slaves who had
been abandoned to dio along the
caravan roads. According to the re-
port of a German consul, strangers
who know not the road to one city
had only to keep in tho middle be-
tween the two lines of bleaching bones
of slaves who had been left to die
there, ami they could not miss their
way.

Schools for Cash Girls.

Following the lend of Chicago, u
New York dry goods house is about
to start little school in its own prem
ises where the cash girls can obtain
instruction one or two hours every
day, ms also those older ones whose
early schooling has been neglected.
In ono of the large dry goods stores
of Chicago u day and night
school is maintained, with compe-
tent teachers aud oil the mod
ern accessories of first-class school
room, where the employees of the store
are given free education. In Milwau-
kee one of the greatest breweries con-
ducts u school, library and reading
room for its employees, who are over
10000 in number. All three were
established despite the protests OF
those who said the advantages would
never be utilized. and all triumphed
from the outset. The school compares
favorably with the best public schools
in the city, the reading room is we'll
patronized. and the library is EN-
played to its full capacity. -Chicago

The iron masters OF America have

boasts the Boston Cultivator. They
are now shipping iron to Liverpool.
Manchester. Rotterdam, Vienna, Ge-

eern in Tennessee claims that 80 years

Metals More Precious Than Gold.

We commonly think of gold as the
most valuable OF metals, because it is
the most precious of metals that are
produced in sufficient quantity to be
in common use. There are. however,
several rare metals that are much more
valuable than gold. Gallium, for ex-
ample, is quoted in the market ut
$3, 900 an ounce avoirdupois. Traces
of it occur III some zinc-ores. tons OF
