A PRINCELY REFUSE HEAP.
A Stranger Brings Gold Ore to DIR.
Hurry to Be Tested.

Last Sunday DIR. ]. n. Hurry was sur
prised to receive a visit from stranger,
who asked him in an off-hand manner if he
could make an assay of several bags of gold
ore which the stranger had in his possess
sion. The doctor admitted that he could.
and the man in the same matter-of-fact
way asked: Can stay in your laboratory
while you make the tests2" On being as
sured that he could he at once handed over
the bags and entered with the doctor into
the laboratory. DR.. Hurry made several
exhaustive tests and found that the sam
pies averaged a percentage of gold of $l464S
to q ton of ore. He naturally felt some
curiosity to know where the ore was taken
from. as the man was a complete stranger
to him, and apparently not belonging IN
this part of the country, and addressed an
inquiry to his customer. The latter had no
hesitancy in telling him that the ore was
from the residue or refuse heap left as
worthless by miners who formerly worked
a mine in North Carolina. AS the percent-
age of gold to the ton was an extremely
large one. it is thought to be probable that
the mirers left behind them richer ore than
they worked. DIR. Hurtys customer. who
neglected TO give his name. said that there
were about sixty tons of the refuse equally
rich in gold, piled up at the abandoned
mine which only required to be treated by
modern methods TO make the owner of the
property richer by many thousand dollars.
He did not say whether he was the owner
OF the princely dirt heap or not. but when
he left he thanked DIR. Hurty and handed
him $50 bill for his days work.

been found a most effectual aid to physical.
mental and moral elevation. Each mans
needs are studied and he is educated ac-
cordingy. 1t has been found that work
which requires mathematical attention not
only trains the mind, but gives lessons in
the self-control which is at the basis of
morality. Any work which requires no
mental attention is regarded as most in
furious in it's effects. Even the weak-mind-

vice of bygone generations. have been
known to develop will and moral insight un-
der these regulations. A carriage drive had
been arranged for the members of the
Prison Congress by the ladies' reception
