cold Reneath the Sea.

Capt. Robert Linbridge, of the
schooner Lila and Matte, which
sailed for the South seas last week
with a party of scientists, told the
story of the discovery Of what is
probably the richest g"ld-bearing
ledge of rock in the world. The
captain spent several months off the
coast of Alaska last Summer, and
it was while cruising from point to
point that he made the discovery
AS the coast was new to him, he
was compelled to do much sound
ing. One evening the lead came up
with lot of yellow PARTICLES at
tached to it. He cast anchor ia the
vicinity, and next incrning found
that the anchor also had yellow
metal on it. This caused him to
investigate, and he found a quartz
ledge running from the mountain
out into the sea; and found that the
quartz was thickly v.sined with gold
He secured many specimens, and
brought them with his sounding
lead to San Francisco, and assayers
pronounce it the richest lot Of quartz
that they have seen. On the report
Of the experts a company is being
formed to investigate and locate the
ledge, and when the captain returns
from the South seas he will take a
party to the spot, Those who are
in the secret are doing all in their
power to keep it dark until they
shall have fully established their
claims. The captain said the ledge
is 80 feet wide whore it has been
washed by the sea, but that on the
shore it can be traced only by the
outcroppings. AS the climate there
will permit Of work six months Of
the year, this ledge can be worked
TO much greater advantage than
luther Alaska mines. aa

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

It is sometimes said "The suffrage
movement seems TO be dying OF
inanition.' On this point let the
facts speak for themselves.
Sixty years ago, women could
not vote anywhere. In 1888 Ken
tucky gave school suffrage to wild
ows, and in 1845 the law was
changed, making widows and spin
sters having taxable property eligi-
bile to vote for school trustees, except
in cities governed by charters. In
1851 Kansas gave school suffrage
to all women. In 1869 England
gave municipal suffrage 10 single
women and widows, and Wyoming
gave full suffrage to all women.
School suffrage was granted in 1875
by Michigan and Minnesota, in 1875
by Colorado, in 1878 by New Hamp-
shire and Oregon, in 1879 by Mas
sachnsetts, in 1880 by New York
and Vermont. In 1881, municipal
suffrage was extended to the single
women and widows of Scotland.
Nehraska gave women school suf-
frage in 1883, and Wisconsin in
1885. IL 1885, New Brunswick and
Ontario gave municipal suffrage to
single women and widows, and
Washington gave school suffrage to
all women. In 1887, municipal
suffrage was extended to all women
in Kansas, and school suffrage in
North and South Dakota, Montana,
Arizona and New Jersey. In 1891,
school suffrage was granted in Hi
nois. In 1892, municipal suffrage
was extended to single women and
widows in the Province of Quebec.
IL 1898, school suffrage was grant
ed in Connecticut, and full suffrage
| in Colorado and New Zealand. In
1894, school suffrage was granted
in Ohio; a limited municipal sui
Grage in Iowa, and parish and dis
trict suffrage in England TO women
both married and single. In 1895,
full suffrage was granted in South
| Australia to women both married
and single. In 1896, full suffrage
Twas granted to women in Utah and
Idaho. III

Esouth Dakota, Washington and in
several Of the British provinces.
