Land Office, Washington. ID. G by geolo
gist AMI mining expert OF worldwide reputa
tiou, Professor Benjamin Slliman, who
spent several months there, then being con
nec.ed with the United States Surveying
Corps, and In his official report says:
"Here are countless millions Of tons of
rich golf quartz reduced by The great forces
Of nature to a condition ready for the appli-
cation Of the hydraulic process, while the
entire bed OF the Rio Grand. for over 40
miles Is q eluice, on the bars OF which the
gold derived from the wearing away OF the
gravel banks has been accommodating for
countless ages and now lies ready for ex-
traction by the most approved methods Of
river mining. The thickness OF the Rio
Grande gold gravel exceed IN many places
600 feet, or nearly three times that Of the
like beds In California, while the average
value per cubic yard Is believed to be gre tier
| In the New Mexico beds than In any other
such accamulations yet discovered.
IL have made reconnaissance OF the whole
OF this iavel along the Rio Grande, and
have examined with all the care possible in
the time at my command the character OF
the gravel and its contents OF gold. Noti-
ing am persuaded, since the discovery OF
California and Australia, Is comparable for
its measurable resources OF gold available

SUICIDE IN PRISON
OF the Man who Assassinated King
Humbert

Rome, May 23.-Bresir. the assassin
the late King Humbert, has COM
mitted suicide at the penitentiary of
Santo Stefano. He recently had been
suffering from extreme excitement. de-
clared to be from remorse. Tuesday
night he made a rope from his blankets
and strangled himself. On the wall of
Bresir's cell the word vengeance was
scratched with his bloody thumb nail.
Bresir's violence last week culmin-
ated In his attacking the jaiIer, in con-
sequence of which he was placed in a
traight jacket. Later the prisoner
deigned docility in order to secure an
opportunity to commit suicide, which
ne accomplished. In the earlier days
or his Imprisonment. Bresir resented
orders to keep silent and threatened to
kill himself.
At a cabinet council held at the
Qu1rinal today, Signor GioIitti minister
of the interior, informed the king of
the suicide of Bresir. Mis- majesty re-
NAMED pensive for a few minutes and
then said: 1T is, perhaps, the best
thing h a could happen to the unhap-|
py man."

In the Millionaire's Pew

The sexton looked grimly after the
party of visitors.
WELL" said he, they've got it the
worst of anybody that's been here for
a long while. I'll bet they're from
Vermont. Somehow, the folks from
Vermont are always the most set. It's
a funny thing, anyway, to watch the
visitors that come to this church. The
first thing they all do is to look over
the names of the pew owners. and then
they go shopping up and down The
aisles for the names of the fashionable
people,.
A soon as they find the little tab
let telling them that such a seat be-
longs to Mr.. Blank you ought to hear
them talk.
"'Oh, here's h Mr.. Blank SITS
they say.
And then they plump themselves
down on Mr.. Blanks cushions and
wipe their shoes on Mr.. Blanks foot
stool and 1utter the leaves Of Mr..
Blanks prayer book. They seem to
think that ceremony takes them a
passport into heaven it is at least a
sort of Introduction into high society.
"Once they a a discussion in this
church as to the a~dvisability of remov-
ing the silver plates from the Jews. /
fought the proposition tooth and nail.
eff you do that said 1, you'll have
to look out for a new sexton, that's all.
The visitors who like to cultivate the
acquaintance of our millionaire parish
oners by sitting in their church pews
bother me enough as it is with their
endless chain Of questions, and if all
landmarks whereby they may guide
themselves around were removed they'd
poster the life clear out of me-
80 they let the door plates stay.
It's the out-of-town people who make
the biggest ado over the m~illionaries
pews. Real New Workers never pay
any attention to them, but I'll venture
to say hat half the country people
that come to town on a visit make a
pilgrimage to this church so they can
boast, when they get home, about how
they sat in Mr.. Blanks pew."-New

4 Misleading Query

Says the Salem Times.
And now we are to be treated to a
visit from a comet with three tails.
That's all right. In these days we want
novelty, and the novelty Of the one-tail
comet has played out. Will some OF
those fellows who have been trying to
solve the mystery of why a rabbit wob-
bles his nose tell us why a comet trav-
els with it's tails in the lead?
There was once a king of England
somewhat given to practical jokes who
called the wise men of his to-
gether and put this question: Why is
it that when a live fish is placed in a
vessel of water the weight of h YES
sci is not increased? Various and
learned were the reasons given for the
assumed fact, till finally one man, not
so wise as the others, asked:
rs your majesty sure that the weight
of the vessel will not be increased?'
"Of course I am not sure replied
the king, for the fish does increase
the weight Of the vessel"
If our contemporary will read up on
comets it will learn that uall the
tail follows the comet while that BODY
is approaching the sun and precedes 1t
when leaving the sur. An authority
on the subject tells us that in those
comets which revolve around the sun
the tail lis nearly always away from
the sun, frequently assuming a curved
FORM" and we might add that some OF
the comets have no well-dehned tail.
So, as a general proposition, a comet
does not travel with it's tail in the
lead" and-we don't know why a rab-
bit wabbles its nose-Montgomery, Ala,
times.

WHEELS MADE OF PAPER MONEY
Cancelled Notes Representing 81 800,
% Devoted to that Use Every Day

National Bank and United States
government notes to the face value Of
about 1,5OO, 900 are destroyed in Wash
ington every day. They are reduced to
pulp and a few months hence will be
spinning over steel rails in the form of
railroad al wheels. From a banknoteI

formation. but it is happening every
day. Whenever you get hold of a solid

note just bear in mind that some day

under some lightning express.
The treasury department in Wash
1ngton destroys between $3.50, 900, 900 and
$500, 900, 900 worth of paper money a
year. Just think OF it! Nearly half a
billion dollars annually. Solid CURRENCY
to the amount of a million and a half
a day reaches the treasury for redemp-
ton. Two big pulp mills-macerators|
they are termed officially-grind them
into a mass which looks like putty.
The pulp is then treated with an alkali.
which extracts the ink that constituted
all the printing and inscriptions on the
bill. Next it is converted into bales
and shipped to a a wheel manufac-
Iurer- This pulp makes the best kind
of wheels. The government sells it for
$40 a ton, after it is baled and dry.
The maceration of currency is in
charge of a committee OF three treas
ury employees, who represent respec-
lively the secretary of the traSury, the
treasurer of the United States and the
controller of the currency, and are
designated as the destruction commit
tee. Every day this committee is at
work and it sees every bundle of can
celled notes dumped into the macera-
tors, which are constructed lust like
paper mills, and are operated bv ma
cnInery. For every note hat is de-
stroyed, unless it should come from a
new one is made at the bureau of En-
10000 of paper money is converted
to the same value is made every day.
All this work costs the United States
government nothing. The national
banks stand all the expense. although
the treasury department has absolute
control of the redemption division.
Twenty or thirty-five years ago the
government used to burn cancelled cur-
rency, but that method of destroying
it was abandoned when ii was discov-
cred that on windy days the draft in
the chimney would draw notes only
partially burned from the furnaces and
spread them over the White house lot
and neighboring streets. Such bills
have been redeemed in the past, and
Uncle Sam had to stand the loss. But
with the macerators no greenbacks es-

q Solid Chunk Of Wisdom.

A veteran m of congress was
listening the other day to a recital Of
the adventures of several amateurs in
stock speculation who had sold North
ern Pacific short and been wiped out by
Thursdays whirlwind, says the Wash
ingtOn correspondent of the New York
Evening Post.
Il sat in the house with John Morris
sey Of New York, h ex-prize fighter"
said he, presently, addressing himself
to the youngest man in the party.
John in spite Of his profession, was a
clever fellow, and we all felt sorry
when we learned one day that he a

h bulls in the stock market. They
evidently had rugged a orner in a Van

ing very freely-and he was forced to
pay fancy prices for several purchases.
He mad up his mind to go straight to
Vanderbilt himself and ask for help
money the loan of enough stock for a
definite time to tide him over his
trouble. OF any other aid the old man
was willing to give him. He Knew the
Commodore's weakness for q good
horse. He had a beautiful roadster in
his stable. and with his he went to
Vanderbilt and asked him to take a
drive. Morrissey handled the ribbons
himself. and watched the old man out

road. Then he introduced the subject

OF it. and asked vanderbilt what he
would take to pull him out Of the bog.

"Morrissey took a fresh grip on the
reins and away they sped once more.
Vanderbilt almost held his breath, as

men on the road fell to the When
they finally drew up in front Of his
house for him to alight, he turned TO
Morrissey and said:

Choosing Office Boys.

George Sexton who has charge of 200
boys in a big department store, loves
to talk bout boys. Boys are not a
necessary evil at this establishment"
he said. They are the material out of
which men are to be made"
How do you choose your cash boys,
Sir. Sexton?" 1 asked.
My first question is. Where is the
bOy?' You see. it all depends upon the
boy himself. You can judge the boy
better from his appearance. his manner,
his dress and the way he comes into an
office than from any description of him.
Character shows forth in little things
you can't hide it. 1 take boys by what
you might almost term first impress
sions. I have sized a boy up before he
asks me for a place. The removal or
nonremoVal of the hat on entering the
office. the respectful and self respecting
way in which 4 boy addresses me. the
way in which he meets my look and
questions. all give me an idea of his
bringing up and the stuff hat is in
him. AS to appearance. l look at once
for these things: polished shoes, clean
clothes and clean face, hands and finger
nails Good clothes are not requisites.
