Of gold worth SIS. 1000, which represent

were obliged to confess, however, that
It cost more than a dollar to get a dol

to that Of every capitalist who has at

for that matter, at any OF the mining
districts along the Appalachian range.

Carolina and Georgia.
II Senator Jones can mine gold at a
profit from the rock deposits in the
Great Falls district, his process can
be applied with equal advantage to the
district south, and if the reports prove
to be true that he has succeeded, as in
Dictated. a mining revival may be ex-
pected in the states named.
Senator Jones has been remarkably
successful In his mining ventures in
recent years. He is understood to have
q large interest in the famous Tread
well mine in Alaska. He also has large
mining interests in California, Arizona
and Nevada, which are turning out
handsomely. The friendship OF nearly
forty years which has existed between
Senator Jones and Senator Steward,
the two Nevada senators, continues
%unbroken, and 1t is common belief that
Senator Jones has been largely instru-
mental in rehabilitating the fortunes
Of his colleague, which were somewhat
shattered by reverses some Ave or six
years ago.
Senator Stewart is said to be once
more in exceedingly prosperous cir
~cumstances, and for the third or fourth
time in his life he is worth over ST.
100000. He was at one time rated at
5000, 900, but this was probably an
overestimate. Senators Jones and
Stewart have been for man. years on
Intimate terms with James r. Keene,
one OF the kings Of Wall street, and
have been in with him on many profit
able deals. Mr.. Keene became &C
uuainted with these men during the
mining excitements and speculations
attendant upon the Bonanza develop
ment. Senator Jones and Mr.. Keene
have been close as brothers ever since.

The laying Of the foundation stone
OF the Gordon College in the Soudan is
an Indication OF the practical character
of British colonization, which unites
piety for Gordon's memory and anxiety
FOR necessary and useful work with the
thorough assurance Of the conquerors
OF territory. The Soudan has been de-
liyered from the dominion of the cruel
Baggaras, a fact which will be Of Inn
mense Importance for the growth Of
the new province. The laying Of the
foundation stone also signifies that the
English established themselves In the
Soudan with the intention of remain
ting there.-Berlin National Zeitung.

the pangs OF hunger. When boiled it
produces thick, nourishing and not
