cured Buried Treasure.


SPRINGFIELD. o., Nov 12-Capt.
Charles A. Henderson. whose residence
Is Philadelphia, although in several
months ne has spent little time there,
has just returned from the Tristan da
Cunha group Of islands of the eastern
coast OF South America, where he Sc
cured a pirate treasure valued at S175,-
Goo. The treasure island is located
about thirty-five miles due south Of

ure island. and arrived there on the
return trip only q few days ago. On
his return he was unsuccessfully chas-
cd by a Spanish gunboat- Claude
Thompson, OF Jackson, accompanied the
captain on his successful cruise.
The treasure was hidden on the ISL
Rnd thirty-three years ago IL a cavern
by Capt Henderson and three other
men OF the crew OF the pirate ship
Lark. which was driven into e small
harbor by a gunboat and was then
scuttled. The crew attempted 10 es-
cape in small boats. but Henderson and
q companion were the only two that
did so, and the companion died a few
weeks later OF smallpox.
Henderson shipped on the Lark on
the misrepresentation that II was a
fruiter. Capt. Summers. IN command
took fancy TO him. and he remained
on the vessel. although at first Il was
rcpugnant 10 HIM He had made sew
erai unsuccessful efforts 20 reach the

The Output of the xIondiISe Country
Up TO Date.


Much has been said and pub,
lished about the gold output of the
I Klondike. but UP 10 the present time
no one has given anything Ike an ac-
curate estimate Of the gold that has
T been received at Pacific coast points
from the new Eldorado..
The following figures are as accurate
as can be obtained and give only the
gold itself. as all gold represented by
drafts generally followed them on the
next steamer
The record was kept from Jan. 1, 1893
but the first shipment after that date
arrived on Jan. II, and was of the out
put OF 1897.
Only three shipments of gold were re-
corded In January: On the I7th, 81
10000; on the 21st $3.50. 900. and on the
25th, $4,000, making a roLal Of 81, ,460, :
600 for that month
On Feb. 7th, $4,000 arrived, the only
gold for that month.
No gold arrived In March, and the
only April consignment arrived on the
18th. and amounted to 500, 900.
Like March, June drew a blank. buI
July shipments were heavy. $12. .995. 900.

MOORHEAD, Mimi, Nov. 13.-(Spe-
cial.)-The six alleged train robbers
viii be taken 10 Fergus Falls tomor-
row morning to be arraigned on the
charge Of holding up the Great North
ern train at Carlisle on Thursday night.
Sheriff Billings arrived this morning
and VIII take his prisoners TO Otter

Otter Tail county, arrived from Per-
ham tonight and is busy preparing the
papers. which viii be served early to-
morrow morning, when the first COM

Bronson Strain, of Battle Lake, came
UP this morning and identified w c.
Ross, alias George II. Barnes, and
Linch Thayer alias +. Morris, as
having been at Battle Lake previous
10 the day Warfield's bank was broken
into and the safe blown. The men
pretended 10 be fishing at one OF the
lakes near the vilhIge. c. w. KaddatZ
the Fergus Falls restaurant man,
where two Of the prisoners are sup
posed TO have procured their meals
came up tonight, but has not yet seen

The theory is that two OF the men
went out Of Fergus Falls on the blind
baggage car and held their guns gt
the heads Of the engineer and fireman
If Mr.. Kaddatz Identifies these men. II
Will be an important link in the chain
Of evidence that is being built up by
the authorities. Several Of the clever
est secret service men in the country
are at work on the cuse and every one
OF them is positive that the men are
the train robbers. They all agree thai
that gang was not well organized. and
II was extremely stupid for six Of then

II is reported that United States
Marshal O'Connor VIII be here IN tn

distely ensued, and in very shorf time an
the little frogs had been deyoured sS we1I

in natural history.
The demand made upon Mr Fontz far
the frogs is far in excess of the sunnlv.
For several years he has been SURVIVING the
Johns Hopkins university with medium
sized frogs for experimental purposes in m,
biological laboratory. He takes great nrida
in being the possessor Of the skeleton of a
large frog which was prepared for him AT the
John Hopkins laboratory. He has also sIn
piled the table Of the Rennsrt hotel for a
number Of years. AT present he has orders
for large shipments from the laboratories of
the following educational institutions: Uni

Iege, Michigan; University or Georgia Ain
ems; Bryn Mawr college, PENNSYLVANIA. T7ni
versity of North Carolina, Chapel Hill Svra

Tennessee, Nashville, and Chicago UNIVERSITY
He has orders 70 supply hotels in the follow.

Boston and Denver. Col. The average price
realized is $50 per dozen.
During the winter season the frogs bury
themselves in the mud. and in order to get
them for market large nets are dragged under
the mud of the ponds The catch has been
very small this summer, AID some Of the
prices realized are fancy.

ment, therefore, devoted ali its ener-
gies to providing q sufficient supply Of
the carbon powders. Later. and as
rapidly as possible, the manufacture
was changed to smokeless powders.
SMoKELESS POWDER.
'It should be stated. however. that
smokeless powder only was manufac-
trred for field and siege artillery. The
fact that the field and siege artillery
was to be employed was not determin-
ed until about the time that war was
decnred, and there were no funds
available for procuring ammunition
for these guns before that time. The
preparation Of smOkeless powder am
munition for these guns commenced at
once, but IL was necessary TO issue
Immediately the ammunition on hand
for the batteries that were sent 10 the
front, nnd, as this was all charcoal
powder ammunition, IL accounts for
the fact that only this black or char
coal powder ammunition was generally
used in actual service against the enc

The furnishing Of field and siege
guns and ammunition for the war
raised the same difficulties as in other
branches Of the ordnance equipment.
yet the bureau furnished some guns
for the Manila and Porto Rican expe-
dluons- Ihe artillery was not used at
Santiago TO any extent. Of the siege
guns, twenty 1.-TWO were sent out at the
beginning Of the war
Following a recapitulation Of the
land battle at Santiago and the guns
in the Spanish forts, Gen. F1agler says:
he Whr has furnished no opportu-
nifty Tor determining by experience the
effect OF modern sea coast armament
against modern batt1eships The re-
suits Of the experience gained, how
ever, tend to confirm the opinion that
the fire from ships cannot silence the
IRE or seriously cripple the armament
OF our modern batteries. but ships
could not Withstand the fire OF our
modern batteries, and that, therefore,
the ships cannot attack the batteries
successfully. Whether the ships can
run by the batteries without too great
risk has not been shown. This will
depend on the skill and rapidity with
which the guns are served, provided
the ships are not stopped by the
mines"
Considerable attention is devoted 10
the progress Of work ut the various
arsenals and the guns which are being
made. On Sept. 30, 1898. there were
447 sea coast guns mounted. II is es-
timated that on June 80 1899, there
VIII be 900, and on the same date in

BANK OF CLAY A GOLD NINE.
Maine Farmer Discovers Thousands
of Tons.


CAMDEN, Me, Sept 1.-The New
England farmer who owns a bank Of
white aluminous clay that is free from
grit and capable of being ground to
fine mass OF white powder has no need
of going to the Klondike or seeking
other fields of wealth, because the pa
permakers will take all the clay he
can produce and pay him $40 to S12
ton for the same and thank him for
the privilege. Henry Powers, of this
town. who owns a small farm on this
side of Mount Megunticook and sells
picking cucumbers in the Boston mar
ket for 81 a barrel, thinks he has dis
covered one Of these much sought clay
mines al the back end of his lot in
damp, boggy place, which viii not grow
cucumbers.
1t was the desire for move cucumbers
that led to the discovery. Bowers was
ditching his bogland to draw off the
water one day in June, and when he
had gone through some three feet Of
black muck his spade ran deep into a
hard, white clay that was tough to
cut and which shook like jelly when
agitated. Having worked in paper
mill in Orono for two winters and
knowing that the makers of white pa
per used about 35 per cent of a Ger
man clay in their stock. he took some
of his mineral home and dried 1t In
the oven of his cook stove. When the
water had been dispeiled he ground
the mass IN the family coffee mill and
sent a few pounds of the powder TO a
large paper mill IN Berlin Falls, n. H.
In about week he received word that
the sample he had forwarded was as
good as the best that could be had in
Europe, and that the company would
pay him $12 ton for all he could pro-
duce. As the total cost of digging,
drying. grinding and boxing the clay
does not exceed 81 a ton, and as there
are a million tons Of 1t on the Bowers
place, the finder has high hopes OF
becoming q millionaire, and will at
once start in TO build up his fortune.
Until four years ago agalite was the
only clay material that could be en-
pIoyed in making white paper. Later
q deposit OF white clay was found in
South Carolina. which has been large
ly used as substitute for the imported
article. The South Carolina product
sells for $S ton. while agalite COM
manded $15. AS the Camden clay Is
said TO be rs good as the best, 1t viii
no doubt come into general use. Both
the Camden and the South Carolina
products are composed Of lime and
alumnla, and contain no sand of any
kind. The clay found in Camden Is
much the whittier, making it valuable
TO papermakers.

A few steamers arrived at American
ports with small amounts Of gold. tue
exact value of which was not made
public, but il is probable that alto
gethe~ these shipments did not exceed

Klondike received, so far, can be said
to be $21, 2l5,000. which is far more than
most people have thought the frozen
north would yield.

'Wassail bob" a bunch of holly or
other evergreens on pole, decked with
ribbons and hung with oranges ana
apples, and sometimes bearing a pair
OF dolls, was carried about In York
shire at Christmas nearly century
ago. And until 1880 the "besant" was
escorted by procession with music at
Shaftesbury-it being tree-shaped
framework covered with ribbons, How
ers and peacock feathers, on when
we're hung jewels, coins and other ar
ticles Of value loaned by the local gen.

In 1903 that the decorations OF this
"besant," or "byzant," or "bezon," as
1t was varlously called, we're sometimes
worth as much as G1,500.
These and kindred customs prevail
Ing in the England of century ago

which seems to have existed every

Germany probably received the tree

legend tells of "Yggdrasil," the ash,
which binds together heaven, earth
and hell; Its branches spreading over
the whole world, and reaching above
