seen before. He continued to break
off fragments until he had filed the
pockets of his hunting jacket and de-
term1ned to take them home with
him, and, possible, find out what
mineral properties they contained.
He did not sleep at all that night, and
felt anxious for day to dawn in order
that he might retrace his steps and
return to his cabin. The snow did
not cease falling until late in the
night, and when morning came and
he set out for his homeward Journey
it was all he could do to trudge
through the heavy snow, which was
now lying fully two feet deep.
He reached home, though after a
toilsome journey, and told his son,
John, the result of his strange exper-
ience in the mountain, and showed
him the fragments of the rock which
he had broken off. John was much
interested in the recital of his fathers
story, and volunteered to take speci-
mems of the rock to a silver-smith in
Bedford, Pa, and get his opinion as
to its value. 1t was there carefully
assayed, and pronounced silver ore of
remarkable richness. John, much
delighted with the result of his trip,
returned to his fathers cabin and
told him of the analysis that had
been made. No mention of the dis
covery was made and the two men at
once arranged their plans to revisit
the place and secure other pieces of
the ore, but their search was fruitless,
and, though they hunted diligently
for many days, no trace of the mys-
terious rock could ever be found.
John agreed to do both his own and
his fathers work for whole season
in order that George, the father might
continue the search, but the spot
could not be found.
More than 90 years after he made
the discovery, George told his storv

Elaborate preparations for thorough

money spent in the endeayor to find

the members of the company are now
dead, but, strange as it may seem,
there are even to the present moment

Letter From Nome.
70 the Editor of The Republican.

To the Editor of The Republican.
Knowing that you have had innu-
merable reports of this country, many
of which are false, or misleading, to
say the least, beg that you will al
low me small space in your valua-
BILE paper that / might contribute my
mite towards informing my fellow
countrymen and the friends of the
members of the Maryland Mining
Company generally as to the true
state of affairs and how we are faring.
In the first place wish to state that
the many outlandish hardships of
which you have heard are very much
exaggerated, and of the comparative
ly little illness which has prevailed
here we, by reasonable care, have
had little trouble to evade. Our
health has never been better, and l
do not exaggerate when l say that
every member of our party has gained
in weight, the gain being from five to
twenty pounds per man.
AS to climate no one could wish for
better. For forty days after arrival
we had none but the most beautiful
sunny days. Indeed, l often think,
judging from what l have seen of
Alaska, that it ought to be spoken of
as the Sunny North. OF course, we
all know that the winters are long
and cold compared with our own Gar
rett county winters; but when people

CHAPTER ii.

l.. Now, in certain regions of the Land of
Uncle Sam, there were covetous men, sons
of Mammon, who had great store of silver
which they had dug out of the earth; and
they had more, great deal, which they de-
sired to dig, that they might make them
selves exceeding rich.
2. And when these men heard the decree
which the rulers had made, and knew that
they could no longer profit by having all
their silver made to be of greater worth in
money than it was on the market-place, they
were grieved exceedingly.
3. And they came together and mourned
to one another of the evil and bitter thing
that had come to pass.
4. Moreover, they shaved their heads, and
rent their garments, and cast ashes upon
their heads, and sat down upon the ground
seven days.
5. Now, there was in that region certain
lawyer, who, when he heard of all this evil
that had come upon the sons of Mammon,
drew near that he might mourn with them
and comfort them.
6. And when he looked on them from afar
and knew them not, for that sorrow had
changed their countenances, the lawyer
lifted up his voice and wept;
Z. Yea, he rent his garments and cast
ashes on his head, and sat down with them
upon the ground seven days and seven
nights, but he spake no word unto them;
8. For he saw that their grief was very
great.
9. But when the eighth day was come the
lawyer said unto them, Wherefore do ye af-
iict your souls above measure This evil is
not, as We think, without remedy.
10. Then the sons of Mammon revived in
spirit little, and one of them said unto the
lawyer, If thou knoweth what the remedy is,
pray thee speak on, for we are at our wits
end.
II. And the lawyer said unto them, Be
hold, the remedy is in me. | will make a
covenant with you that all the silver, not
y alone that which is and shall yet be made
into money, but also the residue which men
buy in the market-place for ornaments, for
vessels, for OVERLAPPING brass and copper and
iron, and for any other use whatsoever, shall
be unto gold in value as sixteen is to one;
that is to say, for sixteen shekels of silver a
man shall receive in exchange one shekel of
gold and no less, and for one shekel of gold
a man shall buy sixteen shekels of silver and
no more.
IL. And the lawyer went on to say, will
covenant with you, further, that when men
buy silver in the market-place for any use
whatsoever, they shall be constrained to pay
therefor shekel of gold, or the exact value
thereof in silver money, for sixteen shekels
weight Of silver; for it shall be ordained in
this Land of Uncle Sam that the rulers shall

Bayard Coal Land,

The Bayard Coal and Coke Com
pany, OF Bayard, Grant county, w.
Va, owners of 1900 acres of valuable
coal land, have decided to sell their
land instead of developing it. About
1000 acres of the land is in Maryland,
and the balance in West Virginia.
The Potomac River and the West Vir-
ginia Central Railway run through
the land. Another much larger tract
of land is about TO change hands near

CHAPTER |.

l. The people that dwelt in the Land of
Uncle sam had stores of money, and it was
of two sorts, in that some of it was made of
silver and other some of gold.
2. And it began to be noised abroad that
the gold money was better and more to be
desired than that which was made of silver.
3. Some said. The pieces of silver, when
there be many of them, are a burden that
men grow weary TO bear.
t. And they that We're skillful in business
said, Behold, in the market place where sil-
yer that is not money is sold, we can buy
more silver with a piece Of silver money
than is in the price wherewith it is bought;
whereas, we can buy of gold only so much
as is in the piece of gold money given for it.
5. Then the people, all of them save those
who dug silver cut of the earth, began to
ask, Wherefore should it be decreed by our
rulers that piece of silver money shall be
of greater worth than so much silver that Is
not money, and that, contrariwise, piece
of gold money shall be weighed in the bal
ance against so much gold that is not money?
8. And they said one to another, Go to;
this thing Is not equal, in that it enricheth
those that dig silver out of the earth at the
cost of all the people.
Z. Moreover, the merchants of other coun-
tries, when the people of the Land of Uncle
Sam bought of them, said, Ye must pay us
in gold, for it is good; or else, if it be i'll sill
yer that ye pay, the price will be twice as
much as if ye pay in gold.
8. And it came to pass, when the mer-
chants of other countries had gathered to-
gether of the same silver money a great deal,
that they came into the Land Of Uncle Sam
and bought Herewith wheat and corn and
beasts of burden and beasts for the slaugh-
ter.
8. And it was so that the people of the
Land of Uncle Sam could not compel the
merchants from afar to pay for their wheat
and their corn and their beasts in gold
money; neither could they say unto them.
The price shall be twice as much if ye pay us
in silver.
TO- For it had been decreed that whomso-
ever should demand more for his merchan-
disc when the silver money of the Land Of
Uncle Sam was offered therefor than when
gold was offered should be hailed before the
magistrate and be punished.
H. Then the people cried out as with one
voice, Behold. this thing is against us. five
pay once and again for the merchandise we
buy from afar, and are paid but once only
for that which we sell, how shall we then
live? Presently both we and our wives and
our little ones shall have neither food to eat
nor raiment to put on.
12 And the people rose up straightway,
and demanded of their rulers new decree
that would provide for them silver money
as good in the esteem of the strangers Of
whom they bought merchandise in far coun-
tries as it was decreed to be in their own

a torce Of nearly 90 men is emplo, ed at

used aivantageously. A shaft has been
sunk TO depth Of 100 feet. The men
have started a crosStut to the north and

the bottom Of the shaft the crosscuts are
now about IS feet from breast to breast,
and all the rock from the surface down

The site Of the mine presents quite a
lively appearance already. A large board.
