Bushels OF Gold Taken By Robbers.

VALLEJO, CAL, Aug. 6.-Gold
bricks valued at s34O,0OO were stolen
during last night from the Selby
Smelling works. The robbers evil
IDENTIFY had been working on the job
for two Or three months. They had
dug tunnel from outside the house,
beginning with a shaft about three
feet deep. Thence they worked under
meath the vs.!!s :aa striking upwards,
bored hole in the strong room floor.
The hole was shaped like the man
hole OF a boiler. Part of the holes
were bored two months ago, it is
thought. and the last cue was com-
pleted during the night. Through
that hole they took the gold bricks
and carried them to bank near the
mouth of the tunnel east of the works,
where they were evidently placed in a
boat. In their hurry the robbers left
!wo OF the bricks on the bank.
During the night one Of the work
men reported to one of his fellows
that he heard noise in the strong
room and declared it was a ghost.
The others ridiculcd him for his super
stition, bnt no investigation was made
to see what caused the noise.
The entrance to the tunnel was
covered with frame, over which
the employees and smelters passed
evrey day, but no one seemed to notice
anything out Of the way.
Sheriff Veale of Contra Costa coun-
ty, his deputies and Chief of Police
Sanford Of Vallejo have been notified
and are now at the works.
The police of San Francisco and
all the bay cities are all at work on
the case, but so far there is not the
slightest clue to the robbers. The
work was that of skilled men and their
elaborate plans were carried out with
out hitch. They got all the bull
lion in the vault, leaving behind only
the two bricks which were dropped on
the shore. Only one days accumula-
ton of refined gold was kept at the
works. Yesterdays run was unusual
ly heavy and the gold was to have
been shipped back to San Francisco o
to-day.
The tunnel that the robbers exca-
vated was about three feet in diameter
and gave them plenty of room in
which to work. 1t is supposed the
dirt from the tunnel was taken out at
night and dropped in the bay. First
reports stated that the tunnel was two
or three hundred feet long, but ao.
cording to late advices it is only about
ten feet in length. The shaft was
started close to the wall and was sunk
below the foundation. Thence it was
only short distance under the floor
of the vault. It is thought the men
who committed the robbery took thei,
plunder away in q launch and made
of directly for San Francisco. There
are plenty of places, however, to
which they may have gone-either UP
the Sacramento river or to the shore
Of any of the numerous bays.

talking about the Duff house. and neo-

around so Obstinately that it took tvo-

That was the send off for the haunt

overwhelmed with letters and inter

wrote him as to how to lay the ghosts.
In the same time he had offers from nc
many more people to pass a night in
the house and solve the mystery. He
was sharp enough to turn all this to
account. When he found that sight

Leaf by leaf the roses fall,
Drop by drop the springs run dry;
nne BY one beyond recall
summer roses droop and die.
Put the roses bloom again,
And the springs will gush anew
In the pleasant April rain
And the summer rain and dew.
Co in hours Of deepest gloom,
When the springs of gladness fail
And the roses IN their bloom
Droop like maidens wan and pale,
Ne shall find some hope that lies,
Like a silent gem apart,
Hidden far from careless eyes
In the garden Of the heart
Some sw.et hope to gladness wed
That will spring afresh and new
When gr!ef's winter shall have fed,
Giving place to rain and dew
Some sweet hope that breathes of spring
Through the weary, weary time,
Budding for its blossoming
In the spirits glorious cline.

and wanted to repeat the same words
or figures on the next line all he had to
do, instead of writing the words in
full, was to put the ditto marks, and
everybody would know it was "a cat"
or "five boys" or "$1O," as the case
might be, that was meant. Some time
after this Tommy, while away on

For the noble boy who shall serve the king.

With tile for toy, let her lie on the ground.
In her bread and her beer be her praise or her

RACE FOR A MINING CLAIM.


Midw,nter Dash 90 secure Posaession
OF Rich DixRinE in Washington.
Anexciting race for mine took place
In February, 1895 For many years Il
had been known that the Colville In
dian reservation was rich in minerals
and prOspectors had slipped In. eluding
the vigilance OF the Indian police, to
explore the mountains In northern
Washington. But long before white
men had entered the Indians knew that
the top Of low mountain near the na-
tons border line was covered with
bright blue stones, 80 gaudy that many
were carried on aud placed In the wig
vans. The prospectors knew that these
gay stones betOkened the existence OF
copper veins aud many a hungry eye
was cast at that rock-strewn patch OF
ground before the government lifted
the ban that kept out pale-face iutru-
ders. But Congress passed law open
Ing part OF the reservation TO mineral
location.
Waiting for the President TO sign the
formal proclamation. two parties quiet
ly entered the forbidden territory and
camped alongside the promising vein.
AT Marcus, the nearest telegraph sta
tion. two young men waited with tense
nerves for the first tick that would tell
that the President had signed the proc,
lamation, II was cold, gray winter
day aud the snow was piled high. Late
in the afternoon the word came and
there was a Simultaneous dash for the
horses that were waiting outside. Then
the race began. Plunging through
drifts, tumbling down declines, to,ftng
desperately up steep hills and bound
Ing at full speed over the level stretch
eS, these two horses bore their riders,
Sometimes one was ahead and some
times the other. The sun disappeared
and the hurrying pair blundered along
through the deepening twilight, and
then In the light Of the stars reflected
by the glistening snow. Spurs were
plunged so deep that iecks OF blood
stained the snow. Almost side by side
they scrambled up the mountain. The
yells Of the riders were heard In the
distance by the rival watchers, who did
not wait further hint. but drove the
stakes that were to locate the La Fleur
mine.
Then followed wordy disputes. nst
fights and the flourishing OF Winches-
tiers. but before the mine was chris
tened with blood one party concluded
to withdraw and fight its battle in the
courts.-Alnslee's Magazine.

How Trees Are Dwarfed.

Interest in the dwarfed forest trees
produced by Chinese and japanese gar
deners is growing In this country. In
making the dwarf the gardener breaks
a branch from a tree. Just below an
''eye" on the branch he cuts and re-
moves a ring of bark. Then he sticks
the branch In ball of specially pre-
pared earth. This he Grams into a
flower pot and keeps it moist enough
to start the roots. After the roots are
well grown the water supply Is lessen
ed. As the branch puts out limbs these
are clamped with wire bands to pro-
duce a rugged and ancient look. The
roots are kept down by cutting. Honey
is smeared on the trunks to attract in
sects which give 1t worm-eaten ap-
pearance. 1t often requires twenty
years to perfect the dwarfng.

French Elections.

Connected with French parliament
airy elections are some curious features.
For instance, no wall literature issued
by a candidate or his friends may be
printed on white paper, white being
the color reserved for official announce
ments. In the days of the empire,
when official candidates were known
in the land, the addresses of the gov
ernment's nominees were printed on
white paper, and this no doubt had due
weight with the more ignorant voters.
Again, any elector whose name Is men
toned in a newspaper can. II he feel
himself aggrieved, call upon the editor
to publish reply. This, however, is
not confined to elections. but is a right
enjoyed by French citizens under the
law of the country.
