TRANSVAAL'S DEEP GOLD
MINES.
Ore Veins Run Perpendicularly Ina
stead OF Horizontally.
George e. Welsh in New York Christian
Advocate)

George Il. Welsh in New York Christian
Advocate.)
In more respects than one the gold
mines of the Transvaal are the most re-
markable mines in the world. The early
voortrekkers who settled in the Trans
yaal had no idea of the immense gold de-
posits stored snugly under their soil. The
country was so barren and unattractive
that the Beers We're doubtful about set
Ting there, and some of them voor'
trekke to the right and to the left to
find more promising place. 1T seemed
SO poor" President Kruger has said,
ssthat even the English did not begrudge
it. But gold was discovered and then
new and perplexing questions arose. The
gold deposits We're found in the Witwater-
rand reef, and for about dozen years
the mines have been successfully worked.
There are nearly 200 mines in operation
in the gold district, and the production
of gold from all of them in 1896 amounted
to 81 ,52l, $50, which nearly equaled the
total gold output of all Australia. In
1897 -9S the yield increased rapidly, and it
was estimated that the production of the
mines this year would have been nearl y
500, ,0O0, 900 If trouble between the Beers
and England had not caused suspension
OF operations.
The gold mines are marvels of modern
engineering, and no end of capital has
been invested in them to secure the rich
deposits OF ore. The nominal capital of
the mines may be roughly placed at $780,
600, ,0cO, on which immense sum large
dividends have been annually paid. The
reason for the great cost of mining gold
in the Witwatersrand reef is that the veins
of ore run in perpendicular instead of a
horizontal direction. This has made 1t
necessary for the engineers to dig down
to great depths, following the vertical
veins into the bowels OF the earth, until
it is questionable whether it win be safe
or profitable to go further. The mines
extend down now to over 800 feet below
the surface of the earth. In order to fol-
low the vein to its next level it will be
necessary to go down 5000 feet more. At
that depth immense deposit, forming a
new reef, viii undoubtedly be found.
At the present limit of the mines the
temperature has sensibly increased, and

A FALSE CLUE.
The Wenham Suspect Proved To BE n
Reputable Citizen.

Wenham, Mass, June 12.-After the
arrival of the noon train from Conway,
n. H., and for some hours of the after
noon and early evening, there was a
great deal OF excitement in town over the
rumor that George Champion, who is
wanted in connection with the tragedy
at the Goodwin house at West Newiield,
Me-, was passenger and had come as
far as Wenham. But all the excitement
faded away tonight when the identity
of the passenger, supposed to be the al
legged murderer, was made known. The
arrival of detectives from New Hamp-
shire and Maine, expecting to chase
Champion and run him down in this
neighborhood, only added to the interest.
The passenger was not Champion, but
John Saunders, well.known resident
who had been on brief visit to friends
in Union, n. H., and had left that town
on the first southbound train this morn
ing. Mr.. Saunders informed the detec
tives tonight that he came near missing
the train at Union and only succeeded
in starting on his journey by running
to the station and catching the train as
it was moving. When he boarded the
train he went into the baggage car and
there he remained until Wenbam was
reached, then leaving the car and going
directly to the post office. While he was
there an unknown man entered who
practically answers to the description
of Champion, and when he had left the
post Office some Of the townspeople men,
toned the fact of his resemblance TO the
alleged murderer. When this story
gained circulation Sannders's description
was applied to the supposed Chanpion

Philadelphia, June 12.-This city Is

al committeeman and delegates arrived
today and the hotels are beginning to I'LL.
The old question OF representation In
Republican national conventions which
agitated the national committee ut It's
meeting in Washington last December Is
more than likely to come to the 'front.' at
the national COMMITTEES meeting tomor-
row.
The resolution of Henry q. Payne Of
Wisconsin, presented at last winters
meeting and which was Withdrawn be-
fore 1t was put to vote, will again be
pressed, bat not by its author. The
strongest supporters of the Payne meas
ure come from New England. Col.
Charles 4. Brayton, national committee
man from Rhode Island, who Is also
chairman of the Rhode Islan1 delegation,
will make n strong effort TO have the
ressntation changed. The meeting
OF the national committee tomorrow
will be devoted largely to the hearing oi
contests from the various states.
The subcommittee of the national
committee held another meeting today
behind closed doors and according tc
Chairman Manley nothing but routine
business was considered.
The convention hall will be formally
transferred to the national COMMITTEES
tomorrow afternoon, although the ser
geant-at-arms will not assume absolute
control of the hall until Saturday or
probably Monday morning.
President McKinley's picture Is begin
ming to appear on every hand, although
the Presidential nomination Is seldom
mentioned by the throngs. The Vice.
Presidential gossip, however, Is taking q
wide range So far there has been no
concentration Of forces here OH any one
man and there probably will not be un-
til the national committee gets together.
The rival claimants in the long stand
ing Delaware fight were the most con-
spicuous of the contestants around the
hotel corridors tonight. j. Edward Ad-
dicks, the leader of the Union Republi'

PARTISAN PITFALLS.
Schemes A-PIenty TO Hoo dwipk Unwa-
ry Exposition Visitors.

Paris during the Exposition Is the
happy hunting ground of the most re
nowned evildoers the century has pro-
duced, says London exchange. The
expert pickpocket, the confidence rick
practitioner and other malefactors have
gathered here in search Of 'clients," and
there is little doubt that they will reap u
fair harvest.
These gentlemen, however, are to be
found in every country, and the ordinary
foreigner who is endowed with some
common sense must rather be ON his
guard against prsictices and practitioners
that are essentially Partisan in their
character.
Arriving at the station, the visitor will
do well to look o 1T for the bogus porter,
who is prepared to vanish into the twi-
light with the luggage intrusted to his
care.
lie should also avoid the casual Inter
prefer, who will stop him on the boule-
wards and offer to show him the sights
of Paris.

man whose wiles may lea to grievous

description from Oriental birds to thea
tire passes. They will ask the unwary
foreigner 10 francs for a member of the
feathered tribe worth sixpence, and un-
blushingly demand and accept five francs
for "a ticket admitting the bearer to the
worst seats In the house.
Only day or two ago a raw provincial
presented himself at the Chatelet Theatre
with tramway ticket bearing on its face
the legend "Chatelet." On being refused
admission the unfortunate man explained
that he had purchased it outside for two
francs from an atfable person, who had
confidentially explained to him it was
worth double the money.
The trap the visitor is most likely to
fall into, however, Is that set for him by

was found as the spot from which
Bertsch's body was taken and this Is
take to prove that he had not undressed
for the night when he was murdered
The robbery in the house between the
tims of the murders and the sitting of
the fire probably did not net the mur-
cerer very much money, as an in7uary
OF relatives in Saco indicates that Good
win banked the $500 received from the
sale of wood lot, and which has been
held up rs the great prize for burglar
and murderer.
The coroner's inquest into the murders
has been adjourned, and although sew
eral witnesses have been examined 10 is
generally accepted that actual facts bear
ing upon the murders are lacking.
The autopsy Of the bodies when the
official report Is made, will show that
mutilation Of the bodies was SO marked
that it would almost seem that the mur-
derer was insane in his passion, or vindic-
tive to. an abnormal degree In inflict-
ing the death blows.
In fact, the condition Of the bodies
was such as to give rise to question
whether the four victims were killed in
their sleep or fought for their lives and
were overpowered.

adopted son Scott Goodwin were taken to
