GOLD IN TIE RIVERS.
Europe's Streams Are Filled with Pre-
cious Metal.

Europe's Streams Arc Filled with Pre-
cious Metal.
In the River Seine small quantity
of gold exists in q state of division so
fine as to be invisible to the unaided eve,
and it is said that when the sand of the
river near Paris is used in making glass.
the crucibles in which it is melted are
frequently found to be gilded over at
the bottom. In former times, in fact,
says the New York Sun, a sort of mining
was in vogue On the Seine at Paris; car
ried on by men who would buy francs
worth of quicksilver, and, after passing
the sand Of the river over it all day,
would sell it in the evening for six or
seven francs-a kind of work which,
however, for some reason was discon-
tinued. Almost all the rivers of Europe
carry small quantities of gold in their
sands, such as the Rhine, the Seine,
the Aar, the Reuse, the Danube and 9TH
ers; also the Clyde and many other
streams in Scotland, Ireland, Wales and
Cornwall; and,T though one ton of sand
from the bed of the Rhine, for instance,
yields only o1s grains Of gold, or one
fifth OF an ounce, yet the total amount
of the yellow metal in that one river
is believed to be immense. 1t has been
found, indeed. by careful scientific ex-
animation and calculation, that that
part of the River Rhine alone which
flows through what was formerly a
portion of French territory contains no
less than $4,000 tons of pure gold.

Kept in Good State of Preservation
Thirty Years.
The grave of Capt. Jacob King, at
years ago, was lately opened in order to
make room for his wife, who has just
passed away, says an exchange. Capt.
King was buried in steel caslzet, sealed
and perfectly air-tight. In consequence
of this fact there was quite q. crowd Of
relatives and friends of the family pres
emit when the coffin was exhumed to
view the remains. When the plate over
the glass was removed and the remains
exposed to view the whole Of Capt.
Kings features were plainly visible
His face had not even Dlackened to u
great extent, and one of his grandchil-
dren who had never seen him in life
declared that he could recognize him
from the picture he had left. Capt
King was buried in full uniform, whici,
was as freshslooking as the day it was
inferred. The buttons had lost none of
their brightness, and even the cotton
on which his head rested was not dis
colored in the least.
The only part of the face that showed
the ravages of time and decay were
his eyes, which were gone entirely
The glass was broken and the effect Of
the air on the corpse was not ascer-
tanned. Capt. King was mason and his
badge was plainly visible. He was ly-
ing in Mound cemetery, whose soil is
quite sandy, but whether this had any
thing to do with his preservation is
unknown.

WHAT MAKES MONEY VALUED

Like Everything Else, 1t Is Based on the
Law OF supply aud Demand.
The assumption that with unlimited
minting the value of the silver dollar
would fall to the present bullion value
of silver is, while common, wholly e.
roneous. It ignores the fundamental
law, viz: that the value Of money does
not depend upon that of the material
on which it is stamped, but upon tae
supply of money relative to demand.
Under this law, which appears to have
been first affirmed by Aristotle, and
which is confirmed by every reputable
political economist, the value of the sill
yer dollar could not fall to the present
gold value of silver bullion unless the
supply of money were at once doubled
or one-half the demand for it were
cut off. AS free coinage would not
cut off any part Of the demand, and as.
it would not double the quantity of
money, the worlds entire quantity of
surplus silver bullion available for free
coinage at the American minis not ex-
ceeding one per cent. of our circuIa-
SAAS y
be doubled. On the contrary, while it
would increase, the increase would be
gradual. Therefore silver money
could not fall to the present value of
silver bullion. j. What would take place
would be a rise of the value of bullion
to the value of money. The latter
would depreciate as its supply in
creased and the prices of commodities
and the value of real property rose,
but the decline in silver would be no
greater than in that of gold money.
Dollars of all kinds, whether stamped
on gold, silver or paper, would buy
less, and tits absolutely necessary that
their purchasing power shall be dimin-
'shed If industry is to revive and pros

SUBSTITUTES FOR BULLETS.
Nuggets Of Gold and W-den Sings Used

Nuggets of Gold and W-den Sings Used
BY Hunters in Emergencies. a
hen q hunter in the Old days lost
all his bullets or hadn't anYBto shoot
with helusually devised substitutes that
on on occasion served the purpose well.
All sorts of things have been fired at
game or Indians, as the case might be.
Old Hank Ellison, living up in Jefferson
; county, n. r., told to his dying day how
he was cooped up by Indians out west
once, with little lead. lots Of powder,
belt full Of gold nuggets, a fine rifle
and bullet mold. It was on the top of
q knoll where his log cabin had been
built, and he had a barrel Of water and
Il lot of wood for emergencies. The In
dians kept just out of range, dashing
in once in awhile to draw his fire. He
soon used his bullets up, and then used
the gold He fired nearly half his for
tune at the redskins before they left
him. -.
Many a hunter has used a pebble in
the hope of getting close deadly shot.
Jackknives and ramrods have served
their time as missiles. Forest and
Stream tells about hunter who had
only single bullet, but lots of powder.
The bullet shot the horn of a big buck
off, and the buck charged the man, who
took to tree top. He spent half an
hour whiting off two-inch lengths of
branches and putting them into his
rifle. Then he rammed them down on
the powder and fired at the maddened
deer. His partner came along after
awhile with belt full of bullets, and,
making a run for the tree, gave bull
let to the shooter, who quickly killed
the deer

rLOCk STRAYED 600 MILES,

Shepherd KILLED by Lightning md
the Sheep Go on a Long Journey.
"A herder in charge of flock of 1000
sheep which were grazing near the base
OF the San Francisco mountains in Ari-
iona was killed by lightning during a
terrific storm which visited that section
about August 1. AS the herder was not
expected to come in with his sheep I'M
til October his absence during August
and September was in the regular line
o. business and attracted no attention.
but when the middle of October came
and he did not appear messengers were
sent out to find him and see what was
the matter. After a search of some
days in the vicinity of where he was
Last seen, the remains of camp were
found under a tree which had been
riYen by the lightning. The cooking
utensils were scattered about and the
remains of a blanket were found, which
were Identified as parts of one which
the man had taken with him The wa
ter key was also recognized by mark
which had been burned into one of the
slaves. A further search revealed the
bones of a man sea altered about over the
ground, some of them more than hun
dred yards from the tree, where they
had evidently been carried by the
wolves.
A prospector who had passed that
way had camped a night with the man
about August i. and said the herd was
then moving northward. This tree,
around which these. rticles were found,
was just about far enough north, to
have been the next camping place, and
as it was remembered that there was a
severe storm with thunder and light
ming in that section one night about
the time referred to it was clear that
the man made his camp under this
tree, and had been killed by Ii lightning
and his body devoured by wolves. The
sheep had never been heard Of, and no
trace of them could be found anywhere
in that part of the country. {,
But now comes the strange part of
the story: About three weeks ago "a
herd of about 1000 sheep was found on
the plain in San Miguel county, in New
Mexico, with no one in charge Of them
and: to all appearances, belonging to no
body. The people in Arizona heard OF
this fact and wrote to an officer ii the
county where the sheep were found Civ
ing their marks, and ex blaming how the
1 animals could be identified, when Twas
found beyond any doubt that this was
the same herd that had disap peared
from the range in Arizona about August
I. They had been hitting for them
selves for at least three months and a
half and turned up at a point FL ,u lly SOC

GRAND MAR4AAIs. MIN. N MARCH S, 1898.
Vote for the Bonds.

At the special election to be held on
the 18th inst. two propositions will be:
submitted to the voters of Cook county
which are Of more Importance than many
OF our citizens may anticipate. The pro-
positions are, for the issuance Of road and
bridge bonds in the sum OF $4,000, and,
for the issuance Of $4,000 bonds to fund
the floating indebtedness Of the county.
OF the two propositions we consider
the former the more important. AL
though the county has made great strides
IN the way Of constructing roads and
bridges during the past few years there are
still some very necessary improvements
to be made. For instance, the road from
Grand Marais to Gunhint is in such poor
condition that it is not safe to drive over
and must be repaired the comming sum-
mer OF else condemned as unsafe. At
the present writing there is good reason
to believe that this season will be the
most active in the history of Cook couu-
ty in the deyelopement of the mineral
resources of the northern part of the
county. In that event it would be of
the utmost Importance that the Gun flint
road be in good condition. Some road
improvements are also badly needed in
the settlements on Maple hill, as Is also
the completion of the Lake Shore road
to Rowland which can be accomplished
at a comparatively slight expense. Many
other repairs and improvements are bad
~ needed also, but if the county has to
depend on the road fund derived from
the taxes very few, if any, of these i'm
proyements can be made this season.
II be writer believes that the proper
way to build roads is by the issuance of
long time bonds, because we believe it to
be the most equitable method. Why
should we burden ourselves with taxa
ton to build roads for the taxpayers of
fifteen or twenty years hence? Let them
help pay for the roads of which they will
derive as much benefit as we.
In regard to the floating indebtedness
bonds, some people may ask how the de-
fciency occurred. In answer to this We
need only refer them to the delin quent
tax list just published which was by far
the largest ever published in the county.
IT the property owners do not pay their
taxes it is impossible for the county to
keep out of debt. While the floating in
debtedness is very small we believe that
the bonds should be issued in order to
preserve the credit Of the county.
The increase in the taxes on account
of the issuance Of the $1l, 1000 bonds is a
matter scarcely to be considered. In the
taxes Of the ordinary citizen, who pays,
say, twenty dollars year, the increase
would be but few cents, and would be
insignificant compared to the benefits to
be derived.
By all means vote for the bonds.
