GOLD UNDER RICHMOND.
Quantities of Ore Bearing sand Discov-
cred by Workmen.

Richmond, Va Especially Gold, pure
and unmistakable, In seeming good
quantity, has been discovered in one
of the bitches in the excavation now
being made at Fifteenth and Main
streets for the erection Of the Scaboard
Air Line depot. Its presence was first
noted when about fourteen feet below
the surface pure, clear water. black
sand and round gravel were found.
These conditions at once suggested
gold to G.. A. Lyell, superintendent of
the work, who has spent several years
of his life among the gold mines of the
Pacific Coast. He made investigation
and discovered that the sand was filed
with shining gold, and occasionally a
fake was found. Mr.. Lyell does not
claim to he an expert, but says he is
quite certain gold has been discovered.
Others who have visited the spot
and examined the sand are of the same
opinion. The sand will be analysed,
but it is not probable the presence Of
the gold will interfere with the cree

''O'erhang the sylvan banks OF Otter;

That hang above the limpid water.

And herons among the matted sedges,
While drifting on the summer breeze
Float satin clouds with silver edges.

In thickest shade of dropping bushes,

From laurel brake and woodland ridges.

Apparently well on retiring, at IL

which was not thought to be serious,
but he became worse. AS soon as the

New York (SpeciaD The White
Star liner Cymric, which has arrived
here, had terrible experience while
crossing the Atlantic. At noon Oh
Sunday, August 5, when the Dig YES.

Queenstown, fire was discovered among
the cargo in the forward hold, ana II
ragged thirty-six hours, until midnlgn'

the fire is believed TO have originated,
had been flooded for the purpose OF
checking the flames. The water le2keu

causing damage to the general mer-
chandise stored there. The boat, how
ever was not seriously injured.
The loss on the cargo was so heavy
that Agent John Lee, of the Wnite
Star Line, notified the consignees OF
the cargo that they would be expected
to pay their pro rata share of the loss:
Captain Lindsay, of the Cymrlc, told
the experience of the men on the YES
sci in fighting the fire. In addltlon 70
the ordinary danger of such work, the
fire could not he located, and deadly
chlorine gas, which poured out OF
the matches, made it impossible Tor
the men to remain long at work
The officer of the vessel headed the
men, and man after man was lifted un-
conscious from the hold time and time
again.
The captain was carried out four
times, and once it appeared as though
breathing had stopped.
In the hold were hogsheads OF
bleaching powder and soda ash. The
heat and fire caused chlorine gas to
generate, and this poured out at ter
rife rate. AS soon as the hatch was
thrown off the upper deck on Sunday,
Captain Lindsay and some OF the men
who were investigating the source OF
the fire were overcome and had to be
lifted to the upper deck. DR.. w. j..
Fleetwood, the ships surgeon, was
called on, and he was kept busy re-
viving them. So many were overcome
that he was compelled to summon a
physician who was a passenger to his
assistance. The men as they were
brought out of the hold were laid out
on deck. where restoratives were ap-
piled. Some were so far gone that ar
tificial respiration was resorted to.
During Sunday Chief Officer Joseph
Evans, First Officer Frank Howarth,
Second Officer Fletcher, Third Officer
Smith, Boatswain Robert Jones and
Lamp-trimmer Heating and several Of
the crew were lifted unconscious to
the deck. At times some of the men
exposed themselves to great danger to
drag their comrades into the fresh air.
The fire was not declared out until
Monday night, and after the men had
been at work day and half 1t was
not until the flames had been extin-
guished that the exact location was de-
termined. The fire is supposed to have
been caused by the spontaneous COM
bustion of some hay, in which a large
case of earthenware was packed. This
case was in the center of the hold,
under the lower hatch. and surround
ed on all sides by hogsheads Of bleach
ing powder and soda ash.
