SIBERIAN GOLD PLUNoERERs.
Illicit Mining In I'll Dorados East of
the Ural Mountains.


The Illicit extraction and robbery of
gold In Siberia has long been one of
the greatest difficulties with which the
Russian officials and mining authori-
ties east Of the Urals have had to con-
tend. News has just reached here of
particularly striking instance Of the
way In which the rich gold deposits
along the river system beyond Lake
Balkal have been plundered by whole
colonies of Adventures and Migrants
of every description. Some time ago
number of these men discovered
fresh El Dorado of unusual richness
on the Korolon, small stream running
into the within, tributary of the Lena,
where private claims" had already
been marked out, but not yet occupied.
A justice of the peace from Chita,
with seven Cossacks, and other attend
ants, repaired to the spot, and found
very large. well-organized and pros
porous free community of gold-seekers,
with row of no less than eighty nine
tents and shanues.
They had all the necessary tools and
appliances for working the precious
metal, and also large stores of pro-
visions, which had been brought
thither partly on RATS and partly by
reindeer across the mountains, and
which were being sold at enormously
high prices. Most of the miners de-
camped at once on the appearance of
the authorities, about 300 of them re-
naming behind. These were induced
to depart only after twenty-five of
their number had been put under ar
rest, but few days later, when the
justice had left they returned In
greater force and defed the Cossack
guards to interfere. Another expedi-
ton, with more Cossacks, had to be
sent, and an attempt was then made
to confiscate all their goods and pro-
visions, but as they pleaded the danger
OF starving to death In the Taiga. and
promised TO disappear II allowed to

ALL KEEP THE SANE TIME.
Why Dunn my Watches Say 1t L. Eight
cen Minutes Past Eight.

Discussion and controversy have
broken out regarding the question why
dummy watches point to S:lSh. You
will notice as you pass along the street
that very many Of the jewelers. have
these dummy clocks or watches In front
of their shops. In nearly every IN
stance 1t will be found that the time
they Indicate is eighteen and a half
minutes past eight.
Why this time, rather than any otherf
This Is the question now being dis
cussed.
One remarkable explanation is that
this Is the time at which Abraham Lin
coin died. In order to mark their ap-
probation of the passing Of the great
President, 1t is said, the jewelers. oil
America made 1t fixed rule to indicate
the exact time on all their dummy
clocks.
A more reasonable explanation than
this, however, has been offered by
leading firm Of watchmakers In this
city, who trace the custom back to 1919,

started Ii. He decided, II Is said. upon
eighteen and half minutes past eight
after finding that II was the only time
when the two hands OF the clock formed
a perfect angle with the perpendicular.
"At s o'clock eighteen and a half min
utes the minute and hour hands on op-
poslte sides of the dial are exactly eigh-
teen and a half minute degrees from
the top of the dial or figure H." says
this firm. 1t must be remembered that
while the hour hand makes the whole
circumferenceo Of the dial once in twelve
hours, the minute hand goes around
twelve times-therefore the movement
of the hour hand one minute degree
necessitates the movement of the min
ute hand twelve minutes. or course
the hands may be reversed, making the
time 3;411h. We may say that any
painter who desires TO find the perfect
angle would readily while at his work
discover the exact position to paint the
hands. Any person can test these facts
in his watch.
