Edward j. Lynn, Who Has Been There
Tells of Ten Pound Nuggets.

Edward j. Lynn, Who Has Been There,
Tells of Ten Pound Nuggets.
Edward j. Lynn, well known re-
tired lumberman of Detroit, has recent
ly returned from a six months trip In
the interior of Venezuela. He declares
his belief that it is one Of the richest
gold countries in the world. He has Sc
cured two gold properties by concession
and has some fine specimens of white
quartz that are studded with gold. he
says there are placers near Cicapra that
have exceeded go, 900 tn the single pan
and in which nuggets have been found
weighing in excess of ten pounds.
Mr.. Lynn went 1900 miles up the
Orinoco, distance equaled by but three
white men in the last decade. At that
place and when within five miles OF q
rich mine he was seeking he was turned
back by band of so natives.
By far the most valuable result OF his
trip Mr.. Lynn considers an option Sc
cured on the great Callao mine, the
richest in Venezuela. Mr.. Lynn will re-
turn to Venezuela in April.

.p,av,no s,ap,.b War;

"Playing Spanish war" Is the favorite
game of most of the schoolboys one en-
counters in New York nowadays. On
some of the up town side streets the Maine
Is daily blown up, and without waiting
for the verdict of the court OF inquiry the
United States soldiers and sailors seize tne
Spaniards and give them trounoing pc
sides which the terrors OF the inquisieion
itself would pale. Sometimes the enemy
shows more fight than at others, but the
game never ends but In one way-the Ut
ter extinction of the Spaniards. Altogeth'
err "playing Spanish war" Is very popu'
lar pastime, with just one difficulty to
prevent its becoming an all around sue
cess-it Is so hard to get any of the fellows
to represent the detested dons.- Madden

BIG STONE IMAGE FOUND.
Body Crumbled When Touched, but Head
and Shoulders Remain Intact.

Body Crumbled When Touched, but Head
and Shoulders Remain Intact.
There is excitement in the village Of
Akron, in western New York, over the
discovery of great stone image by some
workmen in a cavern on the estate of
Charles Cummings.
While quarrying limestone the men
uncovered the mouth of hitherto un-
known subteIranean chamber, and there,
lying on it's face, was an immense stone
figure. It's body crumbled to fragments
when removal was attempted, but the
head and shoulders are in fair state of
preservation.
From indications the original must
have been at least 10 feet high and
broad in proportion. The stone from
which the statue is wrought is of pc
culiar mud color totally unlike any for
nation near Akron. The eyes are deep
set, and the lower half of the head is out
of all proportion to the upper half.
One side of the face wears a benig'
nant smile, the other a cold and malig'
nant scowl 1t was removed to the IL
brary of Mr.. Cummings summer cot
tage, near Akron, where it is looked
upon daily by crowds of curious folk.
Mr.. Cummings refused several offers
to purchase the find and is convinced
the great stone is a treasure that dates
back to prehistoric times. -New Yorl

WAR SPIRIT SHOWN.
Atlanta People Desert Churches and
Crowd Streets to Look at Big Gun.


The war spirit of the Atlanta people
was shown the other Sunday, for they
deserted their churches en- masse to get
look at ten inch rife which is ON
its way to Florida and which rested in
the railroad yards in Atlanta. The big
gun arrived during the night before.
and half an hour before day break it was
surrounded by throng.
With the rapid dissemination of the
news the crowds increased, and soon the
alleys and narrow streets leading to the
yards were blocked in every direction.
Toward 1 o'clock, at which time serv-
ices are held at all the churches. the
crush was immense, and visit to the
various places of worship showed many
vacant pews
The few who did attend church
swelled the crowd in the afternoon, and
the police were compelled to form cor
dons at different entrances and exits
and force the spectators to satisfy their
curiosity after a methodical fashion ;
peep at the big weapon would have
come away without gaining their OBJ
ject. In the afternoon many preachers
were conspicuous in the jam, and at a
later hour many ladies pushed their way
down into the yards. Toward nightfall
the crowd became so dense that the
povement of cars in the yards was i'm.
peded and the officials were compelled
to shift the gun to a broader space,
where the people could get near it with
out getting in the way of the switch en-
! gines. New York Sun.
