A Famous Palace.

The Chateau de Rambouillet, which
Is now the favorite residence of the
president of the French republic, has "a
history remote from the literary fad OF
the eighteenth century which has made
the word Rambouillet significant of an
epoch of French culture 1t was i'll this
chateau that Francis breathed his last
and Charles was deserted in his
death. 1t is not generally known, how
ever, how Louis XVI became it's propri
ctor. Until 1885 Rambouillet belonged
to the Due de Pcnthievre grandson of
Louis NV and Nine de Montespan.
Louis XVI wished very much to possess
1t. This desire became fixed passion,
which was augmented by his dislike of
Its owner. But one day he declared,
The possession of Rambouillet would
be the happiness of my life. =" TO which
the duke grnciously replied God for

Logan, of Illinois, is il candidate for the
position of minister to Austria Hungary
with good chance of obtaining it. The
place wa given to Col. Fred Grant,

1t is true but little is known as to the

SURFACE EXTENT.
The two claims, located under the

CHARACTER OF LEDGE.
The vein is free milling gold

periphery dyke, ranging from 7 to 9
feet in thickness. The vein is ac-
companied with a tale streak and is
we'll defined. The surface ground
has been removed from top of ledge
for distance of 50 rods, showing
continuous ledge. Three test pits
have been run down on this vein at
intervals, covering a distance of 600
feet One shaft has been sunk ON
the ledge to the depth of 20 feet,
showing we'll defined vein of two
feet in thickness at the top, and az
feet at the bottom. In going north
erly from shaft No. I, on this vein
a distance of 500 feet, the elevation
increases above the water level some
200 feet. About $4,000 in coarse
gold and nuggets were taken from
the top of this mine last year, and
$500 this year, by the hydraulic
mining process. One nugget taken
out weighs to the value of So, and
