GOLD FOUND IN IOWA.
Deposits of the Shining Metal Pound
In Des Moines County.

Burlington, May 3.-Gold has again
been discovered in Des Moines county,
and G. B. 3McCray, owner of the large
farm near Mediapolis, where the find
was made,.will work the claim, as lie
is convinced that it is in paying guam
stity.
Several months ago George Kennedy,
former resident of Mediapolis, and
who has been interested in gold mines
in Colorado and Utah returned to that
city. The death of his wife at his new
home in Utah City caused his return.
and he bought the remains back for
burial at her old home. Since shat
time he has been living quietly at the
home of his relative. r. r. Lephart.
About two weeks ago, while walking
upon the farm of C.. B. McCray, two
miles and half northwest of Medi-
apolis, he Glanced to pick up few
rocks. The peculiar formation Of The
stone attracted his attention, and from
his previous knowledge of gold quartz
he became convinced that he had acci-
dentally stumbled upon some OF the
precious. He told Mr.. McCray of the
discovery, and upon investigation they
found that the farm of over 300 acres
was made up largely of the gold-bear-
ing srock. 1t was decided to send the
quartz to Denver for assaying and a
few days ago they learned that from
the hasty. examination made that the
quartz would run from $3.50 to $50 per
ton.
A large quantity of the rock has
been sent to the Omaha government
mint and the men are expecting re.
port daily from that source.

The Fatal Ronfire Again.

Dubuque, May 5.--The 7-year-old
daughter of David Bentley was burn
ed to death near Waukon Junction be-
fore the eyes of her father. The latter
had started bonfire of a brush heap
and the little one was playing around
it, tossing sticks into the flames. Sud-
denly her clothing was ignited and
she ran away screaming, with her APP
parel a mass of flames. The Mortified
child ran madly about until her little
body was burning flesh. Then in her
awful agony she threw herself upon
the ground. The father, who soon
reached her side, tried as best he could
to alleviate her sufferings, but to no
avail

MOVEMENT OF MONEY
Portion Of Business Transacted in
the County Last Month.
n AMOUNTED TO NEARLY 100000
The Largest by Far is In Real Estate,
Both City Property aud Farm Land
Tables Showing Business
for Each Dayo

The value Of the real estate trans
4srred and the amount of money
loaned in Wapello county during the
month of April made total of $780,
FOG, or about $4,000 per day. These
figures are totaled up from the Morris
y sLowenberg daily reports, and are
divided as follows:
Amount of money loaned on
greal estate. ............S 50, l35
Amount of money loaned on
cnaIlelS. ....... ...... 1886
& Value of real estate trans
ferred as shown by the deeds 127,135
Releases of mortgages during the
same time showed that $26,237 had
been paid to mortgages, or more
properly that amount of property had
+ been released from the payment of
mortgages. The payments may have
extended thru a period of many
years.
There were ninty-four transfers of
4 town lots, in many cases there being
/ more. than one lot included in a
tfansfer, and fifty-eight pieces of farm
property found new owners.
Money can be had on good security
at IS per cent. Large loans are occas-
ionally made at 5 per cent, but fair
siked ones average up at the per cent
mark. Capitalists are now and have
been for some time making efforts to
loan their funds, and good security
is eagerly sought. AS a rule a money
owner will not take snap Judgment
and make loans on anything that
/ comes along in the way of security.
Values of property are not inflated,
+ but float around the honest mark, as
it has for the past few years. Some
3 transfers of property have been re-
corded where the purchase price rep
resented the cost of the house, but in
stances of this kind are rare and has
taken Place but few times during the
month. Property values are nearly
always inflated by the holder, but when
the preliminaries have beenlgone thru
with the price paid hovers around lis
market value. Following are tables
showing the valuesof real estatestrans-
ferred during each day of the month,
together with the amount of money
loaned during the same length OF
time, on both chattels and real es-
