RIcHEs Of
The Country Is a Treasure Vault Only
Awaiting D-eveIopment.

Awaiting Development.
The enormous but undeveloped min
ing fields of the northern Andes are a
perfect treasure vault for the world to
pry. open with railroads.&c. a mining
engineer who is about setting out for
Ecuador, where he has had eight sub
ordinate parties exploring for him for
the past year. My private reports
have informed me of the discovery Of
a%lluvial gold fe DIS in the unexplorei
orient of Ecuador. We have not yet
located the original lodes from which
these ~alluvial deposits of dust have
been washed by the denudation of the
lodges. These legends told by the Nipa
Indians Of the fabulous mines of the
Incas are undoubtedly founded on fact.
Our prospectors have located rich pla-
Ger mines after a hasty exploration of
a few Of the streams which flow into
the h~eadwaters Of the Amazon, as yet
unsapped. Somewhere in those noun
tains millions are sleeping.
In the southern portion Of Ecuador,
already partially opened by a single
line of road, 10 miles Of which is in
operation, my engineers have uncov-
cred five veins of excellent coal, in
seams of from six to thirty feet in
width. This is significant of what may
be there. South America now imports
coal at great expense. In the northern
district, the eruptive nature of the
country has deposited enormous guam
titles of sulphur. At present most Of
the sulphur of commerce comes from
Sicily, and the demand is large because
of its growing uses in the manufac-
lures, especially since sulphuric acid
has been used for the conversion Of
phosphate rock into fertilizers, as
well as bleaching. dyeing, sugar REIN
ing and high explosives.
Among other discoveries reported to
me has been the location of large cop
per prospects in gold bearing ores
complex ores bearing gold, silver and
lead, zinc mines and alkaline earths
and clays Of high value.
Several of our expeditions have de-
voted their explorations to learn the
economic possibilities of this land Of
mystery. They report that the coast
districts already export 81, OOO, 900 OF
chocolate, no longer a luxury, but a
necessity to the world. This industry
could be increased several fold by
American enterprise. Since the push
ing Of the road from G~uayaquil the
sugar ad coffee industry has had a
sudden impetus, Offering large posi-
bilities for investment. Tobacco of a
high grade is grown there in limited
quantities by the indolent native plant
ers.
While searching for gold in the ORR
ent Of Ecuador our party came upon
immense tracts Of rubber forests, the
sole output at present being what the
Indians bring in on their heads. Here,
too. are large areas of valuable hard
woods. The high plateau which the
railroad Is now crossing is fertile, and
will eventually play an important part
IN the food supply of the other nations.

Woman Has Charge of the CountJes
Home for M~alefactors.
Probably the only woman jailer in
the United States is Mrs. Anna McDon-
aid of Marysville, W.. Va. She occupies
the position Of a deputy sheriff and
has charge of a Jail in which some Of
the most desperate characters are kept.
She is a widow and lives
alone with her two children
in the jail, in which there are
now confined two of the most desperate
~moonshiners ever captured in the state
and n man charged with murder.
She was appointed by Sheriff
Isaac Lewis over several 9TH
er applicants because Of her
great personal bravery and her
skill in handling a rifle and a revolver.
She does not know what fear is; she is
a dead shot with either a rifle or a re-
volver, and has a killed a good deal of
big game especially deer which she is
very found of hunting. She will be 43
years old this month, is descended
from one of the original settlers Of
Grant county and has never been out
of the country. Her husband died last
year, leaving her dependent p o her
own resources. The Jail is at Marys-
vile, but the county seat is at Peters
burg, and ben her prisoners are want
ed in couTt she has to take them ten
miles under her own protection. but
none has yer yet escaped from her.
Sam Self, one of the most notorious
m%oonshiners the state has ever known,
is now in her custody. Oficers have
been trying for many years to arrest
him, but he always managed to elude
them till a few weeks ago, when they
slipped up on him at night at his
home at the Smoke Holes. After his
arrest he said that he had ten guns
on his premises when he was arrested.

AUSTRALIAN RAILROADS.
Their Ownership by the Government
u.,,a - ho a Cood Thfnp.

Their Ownership by the Government
Found to be a Good Thing.
There is at present a good deal of
railroad building being done in Aus
tralia, says a citizen of that country
now visiting in America. The rail
roads there have been built in a rather
uneven way. Every state has its "
system Of roads and its WI way of
managing them. The railroads vary
In gauge and equipment. The parlia-
ment is about to make a thorough in
vestigation Of the railroad systems,
with the idea of effecting a standard
throughout. The roads, with small
exceptions, are owned by the govern
ments Of the various states. Railroad
ownership by the government has been
found to be a good thing. The eight
hour law prevails upon the railroads,
and We pay about the same wages as
are in force in the United Safes. We
have a civil service, and no man is re-
moved without cause. We have about
1850 miles Of railways on the Aus
tralian continent. All the roads are
paying, although 1t is only recently
that they have been placed upon a pay
ing basis. The most of them net about
three per cent on the capital invested.
The states don't want a big profit
for the idea is to put the rates for
freight and passengers as low az pos
sible. SO far. we have purchased NEST
OF our railway equipment in England,
but recently there has been a disposi-
ton to get It wherever It can be Sc
cured the most quickly and cheaply.
We are using a number Of American
built locomotives and other rolling
stock, and this has proved satisfactory.
The rates average about two cents a
mile, but all railroads made a redue-
tion on passenger tickets sold in con
junction with steamship tickets. Com
mercial travellers have the benefit Of a
90 Der cent reduction.

9rany Women aIntch Their Gowns with
Thelr Hosiery.
This Is the story or the woman and
her stockings. it Is a story that must
be told in VIII spers. for the world in
general Is never supposed to think that
the woman wears anything more per-
sonal than hosiery. But the stockings
Of the womnn this year are something
to dream about The desire for thin
footwear has come In with the demand
for light and airy fabrics in dress
goods, and the stockings are quite the
thinnest Of them all. There are no
particular stockings for any particular
purpose The finest and most beanti-
ful of hosiery Is worn for all purposes.
Naturally, the more elaborate designs
Of lace and embroidery are reserved
for evening and dress wear. but stock
inss Of the finest quality are worn for
IN sorts OF outing purposes. It is
natural that, with short skirts and
low shoes there should be a desire for
pretty stockings. and they come with
fancy clocks, open work, and with en-
b%roidered figures IN little neat pat
terms, as well as In elaborate de-
signs.
The most elaborate silk stockings
have medaliions of lace running up
over the instep, handsome embroidery
appliqued upon net, and vertical lines
Of lace set In with embroidered edges,
and there are alternate lines Of lace
and open wsrk. There are designs in
roses, butterflies. bow knots, cupids,
baskets Of flowers. and the eagle and
violets in the L'Aiglon stocking.
Many women like to match their
gowns in their stockings, and there are
tans and grays and blues. Blues al
ways are in demand, for blue is a
popular color; it m nearly up to
the black stocking, which is the most
satisfactoryLn the long run. Red
stockings are sold to go with red shoes
for house wear and there are beauti-
full white stockings, which are sold to
the bride and to wear with white
shoes.

A description of the proposed ex-
press electric mono-rail line between
Manchester and Liverpool was given
to a committee Of the House of Lords.
The railway is constructed on an A
shaped platform, on which is laid the
line which bears the carriage. Two
sets of rails at the side, against which
two sets of wheels operate, keep the
car steady when running round a curve
at a high speed. 1t is intended to run
these trains at 40 miles an hour, SO
that If a line were constructed be-
tween London and Liverpool the dis
lance would be covered under two
hours. There is no risk of collision,
as by a system of blocking and signal
ing the trains are kept fourteen
miles apart.-London Daily Mail.

BILLIARD CUES.
America Furnishes the Best Product in
Every Way.

America Furnishes the Best Product in
Every Way.
Most billiard cues" says a New
York manufacturer, ARE made in two
pieces, the cue proper and the handle.
The cue is generally made Of maple,
and the butt, which is wedge-shaped, is
inserted into a handle of rosewood,
snakewood, ebony, mahogany, walnut
or some other fancy dark wood, which
is cut to dovetail with the long part.
THE maple wood used in making the
handles is sawed into suitable lengths
and seasoned. The logs are then split
into pieces from which the handles are
made. These pieces are called bolts.
The bolts are sawed approximately to
the shape of the handle to be finally
made, and in this shape they are han
die blocks. The handle block is turned
in the shape of the handle in a lathe,
and, when the butt has been fitted, it
is finished and polished.
The finest and best cues are fitted
to the handle or butt by means of a
double wedge. At the top Of the cue is
a ferrule OF ivory or horn, or bone, in
which the leather tip is fitted. While
the ivory ferrule is the most expensive,
Of course, it is less durable than the
horn or bone ferrules, which are less
liable to crack. The extra workmanship
on cues is put in on the butts, some Of
which are deliberately inlaid and
carved in beautiful patterns.
There are a number Of billiard play
ers who will not permit another per-
o to use their cues, and for the use
Of these particular players cues are
turned out from which the tips may be
%unscrewed, leaving the cut with unhn-
ished points and useless. American
billiard cues are the lightest, strong
est and neatest made anywhere in the
world. They r made in all weights
and lengths and rank in price from
80 cents to $25 and more each. accord
