MAGICAL NUMBER NINE.

Among the magicians and sOOthSay-
ers Of ancient times the figures and
3 had a certain amount of mystery and
sacredness attached to them; volumes
have been written in explanation OF
their meaning in connection with the
history of men and the world.
dence is noted in the fact that nearly
all the great mining discoveries of re-
cent times have been made in years
ending with the magic figure 3, says
Leslies Weekly. Thus the famous
gold find in California fell in the year
1S49. Ten years later, in 1859, remark
able discoveries of the same metal
were made simultaneously in Australia
and British Columbia, causing a great
rush of fortune-hunters to these points.
In 1869 the famous Comstock lode
find became known TO the world; in
1879 the gold-bearing region around
Leadville, Colo, and Tombstone, Ariz-,
began to attract attention. and in 1889
the diggings at Glover Creek and in
Lower California became the objective
points of great multitudes of excited
and anxious seekers after sudden
wealth. And now again, at the end of
another decade. history repeats itself
once more. The remarkable gold finds
recently made at Cape Nome, surpass-
ing in richness and extent anything
yet discovered in the Yukon district,
bid fair to make this year 1899 as nota-
BILE as any in the annals OF gold min
ing.
