A SILVER NINE
Discovered in Berkeley County,
West Virginia-A Story That
Reads Like Romance.

Special to the Register.
Cumberland, Md, March 18.-The
discovery of a cavern in mountain in
Berkeley county, w. Va, containing
mining tools, smelling pots, molds, etc.,
reveals a hidden silver mine, the facts
of which read like romance.
Along in the early forties two men
living in Berkeley county would fire.
quently absent themselves from the
community and remain away for days
at time. Their actions did not excite
suspicion, and whatever were their
operations they were allowed to pursue
them without investigation. 1t was
not long, however, until spurious coin
made it's appearance in Cumberland
and the surrounding territory. The
limitations were bad, but contained
good silver.
The two men were not suspected un-
til one of them was arrested in this
city for passing counterfeit money.
The man was tried on this charge, con-
victed and sent to the pemitentiary, but
the law was unable to extort a con-
fession from him as to where he OBJ
tanned the silver and where the coin
was made. Soon after his conviction
his companion left the country and
did not return for many years, and died
shortly after returning. The secret
would have died with him had not an
old man, Jacob Harden, called his son
to his side one day, and, after impress
ing him with the deepest secrecy, told
him where the mint was located.
Harden had by accident stumbled
upon the secret, but would not men
ton it for fear the government would
hold him as an accomplish, so he ex-
tracted a promise from his son to re-
tain the secret until after his death.
The son faithfully adhered to the prom
Use and would not breathe a suspicion
of the place until his father had been
dead some time.
About two years ago, in company
with two others sworn to secrecy, he
visited the place, and following the d.
rections as outlined by the father,
found the mint and the vein of silver
ore. Still there was fear that he would
be looked upon as an accomplish, and
it was not until few days ago that
the secret became source of worry to
the man, and he confined it to prom
inent citizen, who assured him that he
would incur no trouble in making the
facts public, which he has promised to
do.
The vein of ore is said to run through
a mountain that extends into the ad-
joining county of Frederick. Coal and
iron ore have just recently been found
in the mountain

People Who Arc Ever Ready to
Recommend What Has Done
Them Much Good.

Morrow's Kid-ne-oiGs, the scientific REM
edy and backache cure, is daily gaining
favor in Wheeling. No medicine has ever
been sold in Wheeling for kidney ailments,
backache, nervousness, s.eeplessaess and
general debility that has gained such pop
uiar favor as Morrow's kid-ne-oids.
We give you the experience of Mrs. c..
w. Thurlow. of 23l2 Market street. who
recommends hid-ne-oids as follows: Il
have been sufferer from iisordered kid
neys almost all my life, and was never
able to get anything that would cure me.
The doctors sad my disease was conssstu-
tional kidney trouble and that l would
never be well again, as my case was in
durable. / suffered constantly with an
aching pain across the small of my back
and the discharges of the kidney secre-
tons were at times excessive, and at 9TH
er times very frequent and scant and att
tended with pain.
II had about given UP all hope Of ever
getting well, believing the doctors Were
right when they SAID my case was incur
able, when l read about Morrow's Kid
ne-oids and where they had cured just
such cases as mine. AS Chas r. Goethe
guarantees them to cure or refund the
HoHSs, l SStet eV 'siAeAi ~ HIS SUI sAu DC
gan using them according to directions
1t was remarkable how quickly they gave
me relief from the distressing pains across
my back, and the other troubles as well.
They are all the manufacturers claim for
them without any 6oubt"
Morrow's Kid-ne-oidS are not pills. but
Yellow Tablets. and are put up in wooden
boxes which contain enough for about
two weeks treatment and sell at fifty

THE DEEP SNOW
In Yellowstone Park Likely to Prove Dis
astrous to the Animals There

In Yellowstone Park Likely TO ffOVe lis
astrous to the Animals There.
Washington, March 19.-Capt. En-
win, acting superintendent Of the Vel
lowstone National Park, has reported
to the Interior Department that the I'M
precedcnted fall of snow in the park
this year unquestionably will lead to
the death of very many antelope, deer
and elk before the winter is over. In
places in the park snow is over twelve
feet in depth and is firmly crusted
everywhere, which prevents these ami
mails from digging through and obtain
ing their food underneath. This con-
dition of affairs, it is expected, prob
ably will last all this month and per-
haps next. A small appropriation
from the park revenue for buying hay
is asked.
Many deer are now in the immediate
neighborhood of the military post pick
ing up bits of hay. The scouts report
the elk very weak and believe that I'M
less steps are taken to feed them, the
deaths among them /. amount to
thousands. The main hero - buffalo,
however, being in a region OF hot
springs that melt the snow, are getting
along fairly well.

Philippi, w. Va, March ia very
romantic wedding occurred Thursday
at the home of ]. B. A. Simons, in Elk

friends in many ways, and Miss Frazie

lest men.
The wedding was solemnized by Rev.
J. M. Burgess, in the presence of only
few of the couples most intimate
friends
The bride is but fifteen years old
and is very handsome. When her par
ents heard that the two intended elop-
ing and getting married at the home of
J. c. Dickson, an uncle of the bride,
they at once consented to having the
wedding take place at their home, and
the two will leave tomorrow for Seat
tie, where they will spend their hon.
eymoon before leaving for the Klon-
dixie, where Simons has rich claims
and where he has in the past year
taken out thousands of dollars worth
Of nuggets.
Simons left West Virginia for the
Klondike practically penniless. When
he arrived at his old home on his re-
turn, he deposited $4,000 in bank and
announced he intended spending the
money in having a good time with
friends and in searching for bride
to take back with him to the Klondike.
Miss Simons' parents objected to the
union on account of her tender age.

Washington, March 19.-Ambassador
Choate's recent remark that the Unit
ed States and the United Kingdom
would doubtless continue friendly riv-
airy in regard to the worlds commerce
is quite justifable by the latest figures
on the commerce of the two countries
as supplied by the treasury bureau of
statistics. These show that the ex-
ports of domestic merchandise from
the United States in the eight months
ending with February amount to $685.
335,141, and those from the United
Kingdom amount to s79S, .427. In
the calendar year, 1898. the domestic
exports from the United States amount
ed to s1,233, 564,S2S, while those of the
United Kingdom amounted to $1,131.-
944,331. The year 1898 was the first
in which the domestic exports from the
United States exceeded the domestic
exports from the United Kingdom.
On only two occasions prior to 1898
have the domestic exports of the Unit
ed States exceeded a billion dollars,
while those of the United Kingdom have
constantly exceeded billion dollars
during the past twenty years. The
latest year in which her exports of
domestic merchandise fell below the
billion dollar line vas 1879, when they
amounted to 1928, 1925. In 1879 our
own exports of domestic merchandise
amounted to $754,65e.755. Thus, in the
twenty years since 1879 the figures
show an increase of but % per cent.
in the domestic exports of the United
Kingdom, and of 63 per cent. in those
of the United States, apparently quite
justifying Ambassador Choate's asser-
ton that the United States would con-
tinue to be a rival, although friendly
one, of the United Kingdom in its rela-
tions with the commercial world.
That the rivalry has been and is
friendly, even to the extent of cordial
ity, is shown by the fact that despite
our rapid increase in the supplies which
we are offering to the markets of the
world, Great Britain continues to take
a proportionate share of that increase.
Our exports of domestic merchandise
to the United Kingdom in 1879 amount
ed to $346,4S5,8S1 and in 1898 were
$534,398, 1902, an increase of 81 per cent
while, as already shown, our general
exports increased GO per cent. during
that period. This is the more strik-
ing and worthy of remark in view of
the fact that our own imports from
the United Kingdom have not increased
at the rate her purchases from us have
grown. Indeed the imports into the
United States from the United King
dom in 1898 are no greater than they
were twenty years ago, the imports
from the United Kingdom in 1879 be-
ing s10S,53S,S12 and in 1898 ,$1OS,94 49,
1S5.
