RICH GOLD FIELD


New gold fields Hvaling in richness
the deposits OF Cape Nome win be
opened to American miners If the ex-
pectations OF the members Of the Rus
sian expedition, which have arrived at
New York on its way to northeastern
Siberia, are fulfilled. vladimir Wonlar-
slarsky, colonel of the Russian inn
perial guard, obtained the concession
of the vast Siberian tract which the
expedition is to examine. There were
more than 40 applicants for the grant,
which had been sought with eagerness
since the discovery OF gold on the
American side of the Behring sea.
BY means Of court influence, backed
by pressure from other sources, Col.
Wonlarlarsky carried off the prize. He
formed company in Russia which
planned the present expedition, headed
by A Bogdanovitch, a Russian engi-
neer. It is understood that a sub
sidiary company has been formed in
England I'M connection with the con-
.cession, but secrecy is maintained in
regard to the English and American
interests. < s-sz..s
Miners who have visited the Siberian
coast by stealth have reported that it
is practically the same as the Nome
coast, consisting of a strip of beach,
behind which lies tundra or belt of
gold-bearing sand, which has been
thrown up by the action of the waves
and frozen. rs+&*,5'
No attempt will be made to work in
the tundra this year, but the party
hopes to be able to make: some con-
tracts with American owners Of pumps
and dredges.

vlous ones, it was necessary to pay a
premium on the bonds before they
could be purchased. In all, the state

Suicide to Music.

Mrs. Barber Click, of st. Paul, COM
mitted suicide by hangingNherself over
the stairway leading to the basement
of her home. The body had been
hanging nearly an hour when found.
Deceased was sufferer from melan-
cholia, and at times had. talked of
death.
She seemed in unusually bright
spirits and talked cheerfully to her II
year-old daughter, Mary, to whom she
remarked that she believed she was
getting well and would live many
years.
Mother and daughter were busy to-
gether ABOUT the house until shortly
before o'clock, when Mrs. Click re-
quested her daughter to play the
piano. The daughter complied, and
played number of selections, while
she supposed her mother was engaged
in an adjoining room. Finally, calling
to her mother, and getting no re-
response, Miss Click became alarmed
and began searching for her.
Took a Tumble.
Early in the morning guest at the
Grand Central, Crookston, fell out of a
south third story to the ground be-
meath, distance of about 25 feet. 1t
is not known just what he had in his
mind when committing this thrilling
escape, but it is supposed he was sim
ply walking in his sleep and the fact
that he landed partly on some bricks
near a basement window without
hurting himself in the least. lends a
suspicion to the establishment of this
belief. In order to get out of the win
dow he had to remove a large screen
and crawl over another bed in the
room.

The holes III the sidewalks are going to
