Young African was gazing curiously
on the skeleton it suddenly began to
dance and throw it's arms about i'll a

The discovery q: gold III the sands
On the beach at Cape Nome and the
Siberian cOast has resulted III direct
inc attention IL that character OF
placer deposits. and has Led to the
discovery Of the yellow metal in pay
ing quantities On the sands OF the

ounces o, gold oLtsinel from that To-
cahiy. representing three days work

now quietly having a rocker con.

says the Virginia Chronicle.
As there Is no tide ebb and flow Of
tie lake water. the only theory upon
winch the presence of gold on the
beach can be RSctriulned Is that the
gales that almos; constantly prevail
there come from the west. which
causes the waves t. constantly beat

end Of the great lake and only a
short distance from Lake View. The
beech sands at that point fifty
feet or more east of the margin OF
the lake, are fringed with gravel and
boulders and the gold found on tie
beach may have been washed from
these gravel beds.
The most surprising feature Of the
discovery Is that t.-e gold is worth SlI
an ounce. This is in favor u the for
mer theory OF it, having come from
the Sierra side Of the valley. a. gold
