Twcnty Lost cold Minc..

There are at least 20 lost gold mines
In various parts of the world. Many
of them have yielded rich ores and
then have been deserted and entirely
lost.
There is one in the north of the
Transvaal, for Instance. that was dis
covered 10y accident in the eighties by
two Englishmen. The finders had en-
camped one night and had. as they
thought. securely tethered their horses
when they suddenly heard loud neigh
from one of the animals and n moment
later saw them both racing away ap-
parently in the greatest terror.
Soon after dawn they were up and
after an hours tramp found one of the
poor beasts lying on the ground with a
broken leg. In its struggles it had
kicked up the ground and had exposed
rich gold quartz only n few inches he
low the surface.
The two men marked the spot and
returned to the district a month later
to start work on the mine. But in
spite of all their efforts they could not
find the place, and to this day the mine
has not been rediscovered.
In the late seventies there was ire
mendous excitement in California
when prospector described a gold
mine he had found. \ party soon pre-
pared TO set out. with the discOverer OF
the mine rs guide. but the mine has
never been discovered, though thou
sands of dollars have been spent in
prospecting for it.-Stray Stories.

misled in his time. and in nearly every
case these books had a highly respect

Because We Have Put Duty on His.
None of Which Comes IIcre-We
Say He Struck First.

Washington, June ia new de-
velompent of the Russo United States
tariff war, which isn't a tariff war
because il is so friendly, is the imposi-
ton by the Russian government. as of
ficially notified to this government, of
the highest Russian duty on United
States white resin or calafin, galapot,
white resin under article 50 of the Rus
sian tariff law, and increasing the rate
on American bicycles under article 1T3
of the Russian laws. This has moth
ing to do with the sugar business. ex-
cept that both are in accordance with
the Russian policy, which is Ia hit the
man who hits You and on March q last
we put tariff restrictions ON Russian
petroleum. The Russian order goes
into effect Friday. June ~.
Why Our Duty Was Imposed.
At the treasury department it is
stated that the imposition of duty on
petroleum was not matter within the
discretion of the secretary of the treas
ury, but was made mandatory 10y the
Dingley tariff act, which directs the
secretary, in case any foreign country
imposes a duty on petroleum imported
from the United States. To levy Il like
duty on petroleum imported from that
country. As Russia collects duty on
petroleum imported from the United
States. this government. i'm cOmpli-
ance with law, imposes Il duty on Rus
sian petroleum. In no sense. il is
stated. can this duty he regarded as
an unjust discrimination against Rus
sian petroleum, as that country took
the initiative against the American ar
ticle. Had Russia not taken this step
her petroleum would have been admit
ted TO this country free Of duty, under
the terms OF the tariff act.
Our State Secretary Protests
In his reply To Count CaSSini'S note.
which was transmitted to the treas
ury department. Secretary Gage pro-
tests against the implied contention
that this governments action was a
discrimination against Russia, and
adds: Il beg leave to submit for your
consideration the question whether the
measure now adopted by the imperial
government is NOT incompatible with
the rights of the United States under
the existing treaty Of commerce and |
with Russia" According
70 the Russian view the duty laid
against Russian petroleum * ineXplic- |
able from the fact that no Russian pc |
troleum comes TO this country.

II is said that the United States |
trade in bicycles and the resins Speci- |
fed are quite large i'm Russia. 80 that |
the increased duties will bear heavily |
upon these branches of United States |
trade. As a result representations are |
