A POOR MAN GETS A FORTUNE.
David Higgins Sails for Ireland to
Claim 81 100000.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-After more than
a quarter of a century's pounding spikes
and digging for the Chicago and North
western Railway near Boone, Iowa. David
Higgins. typical son of Ireland. has come
TO a reward that is the fortune Of few
section bosses, and is on his way across
the Atlantic to get check for sl.500,0 600.
He sailed Saturday on the Campania-
There is likely to be considerable OF
romance in Higgins affairs, for with him
to New York came little French maid,
Angelo Marcy, who met him on the way
and helped him in getting his baggage
checked and in other slight ways that won
the old mans heart.
The money Higgins expects to get when
he reaches his former home in County
Cork is the proceeds Of the sale OF the
property of his wife's father in Wales.
Fifty years or so ago Ella Scanlon's father
left his daughter in charge of a neighbor
and departed for the English isle to seek
his fortune. He prospered and when he
reached middle age owned a lot OF zeal
estate and other property in one OF the
principal cities of Wales. He then went
back TO Ireland for his daughter, but she
had disappeared.
The little Ella had bloomed under the
balmy influence of Erin's suns and the
hearty food of the country and become
a buxom belle. She had many suitors. but
none SO ardent and persuasive as David
Higgins, a gallant young shepherd on
lords estate in the same county, Cork
Higgins finally won the damsel and carried
her off to America Neither of them knew
OF the elder Scanlon's whereabouts and
prosperity.
They located at Boone, Iowa, where the
husband soon got work as a section hand
for the Northwestern. Their life was the
usual one of laborers. Three children were
born to them, two girls and boy. The
eldest daughter, now twenty one, teaches
in the Boone schools. BY careful economy
the family saved enough to buy couple
OF lots and house.
The wife died about year ago, and
about a month afterward notice came to
Higgins that her father had also died and
left all his property to her. The word was
received from Mr.. Rice, @. c., at Fro
mage. County Cork, saying that prepara-
tions were being made to sell the realty
and Higgins signature was needed. After
consultations with family and local towns
men, and repeated letters from Rice, Hlg-
gins arranged to go back to the old sod.
He sold his house and lot for 81, 800,
fixed things for the children, and with $500
or S400 and a steerage ticket on the Cam
pania in his pocket, set out fer Ireland.
Higgins will do well if he gets back to
Boone with his money. He never Travelled
and persists in showing his money and pa
pers to everybody. But his chaperon, Miss
Mairey, says she will look after him, even
if she has to postpone her trip to France.

GOLD IN PLENTY.
Ihe worlds Output Large and Con-
stantly Increasing

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 9.-From presen,
appearances 1t seems that the increasing
output of gold since 1896 will be largely
surpassed by the record made by the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1900 Homer L..
round, assayer at the Philadelphia mint,
gives the following views on the subject:
Until recent years a large amount of
gold ore was continually rejected owing to
the TACT that the usual pan tests revealed
no traces OF the metal and the ore was not
OF the sort supposed, from past experience.
TO be auriferous. For example till the dis
coyery of Cripple Creek, Col. the occur
renee OF gold as tellurid in deposits of
large extent and value was practically un-
known. Gold was of course, known to
occur sparingly in some ores, partially as
tellurid associated with other minerals.
but such mineralized belt as that at
Cripple Greek was entirely unknown and
such deposits were never looked for by the
prospector.
Chief among the two methods that have
recently come into vogue for the extrac-
ton of the gold from these compounds is
that which uses liquid cyanides. This
method has been extensively employed in
recent years on the waste and rejected
takings of deserted mines yielding large
returns to the investors. To low grade
ores, holding from about 81 to Sc worth
of gold per ton, it has been peculiarly
applicable. Another class of gold ores is
now known, in which the metal occurs in
some form chemically combined in sill
ceous matrix. Such ores show no trace
of free or metallic gold and the presence
of gold can be determined only by assay.
A few such discoveries have recently been
made accidentally by inexperienced per-
sons, who have had rock assayed from
curiosity. Mining engineers and prospect
ors are now learning that in mineralized
region gold may occur in any rock and
hundreds OF prospectors are assaying all
sorts OF most unpromising- looking rock
satisfied that by this method only can they
determine whether a certain rock Is gold
bearing or not. This persistent and more
or less systematic work at present going
on in every mining district must result in
the discovery of many valuable deposits
in unexpected localities and will add
largely to the output of gold. In my opn-
ion the worlds product for the fiscal year
that began July l last will exceed that of
last year by at least % per cent; in other
words, it will be the largest the world has
ever known
In answer to a question from the In
Guirer" man as to whether such a large
output would not depress the price of gold
Mr.. Pound replied emphatically in the neg
ative. THE demand is far in excess OF
the supply" he said, "and large though
the product will be, 1t will be but a por-
tion of the amount that is constantly
needed
