slab of marble, and free from mineral matter, but you can not break off piece anywhere on the face of the cliff that will not show from s to S15 per ton in gold. It is free milling prop. osition, and as such would be one of the most gigantic mining en- terprises in the country when developed properly. The beauty of this prospect lies in the fact that there is an abundance of water from the Colorado river, and the working of the property could be accomplished at a mini- mum expense.
 "In that section of Arizona the formation is of the earliest form, but the lines are regular in some portions, the solid granite ex- tending for miles along the can- yon, broken only by occasional seams or veins that cut across the massive walls. Much coarse gold is found in the sands along the river below the mouth of the canyon, concentrated in pockets by the action of the water. These deposits have not been opened up, chiefly because the discover CTS have been unable to develop them alone and have not succeed ed in interesting others. There is no question that fortunes have been taken out by prospectors with the crudest methods.
 GA few months ago I was driv- ing to Kingman and on the way overlook an old man on foot. 1 invited him to ride with me, and on the way he told me of a vein of gold-bearing quartz he had discovered in the Grand Canyon. One day in his search he noticed a vein of decompOsed quartz, honeycombed by the action of the clements, about four inches in width and tolerably easy of access, a little above the level of the river. He did not have with him even his prOspectOr's pick, but decided to examine the rock. To his aStOniShment he found the openings filled with coarse grains of gold, and raked out with a stick all the gold he could carry. For lack of a better pouch he cut the bottom of his overalls leg and used thatfor a bag by tying the ends with string
 'I regarded the story as sim ply a prospector's yarn, but 1 made inquiries at Kingman. To my surprise it was confirmed, and I learned that the old pros pector had brought in S1S,0O0 worth of gold dust. afterward talked with him further about it and suggested thathe had doubt less staked the claim and started to develop it. He replied that he had not and did not intend to; that he knew the location, and any time he needed to do so could go back and take out more of the precious nuggets. It is fifty miles from Kingman to the mouth of the canyon, and no one has any idea how far up the Grand Canyon the spot may be located where the old prospectOr made his find. 1 cannot understand why men die on the burning sands of the Arizona desert in at- tempts to prospect a country which could not be worked even if rich strikes were made. There is a far better outlook along the Colorado river and in the Grand Canyon.

CHINESE SET THE PACE. They Used the Greenback as Cur rency Seven Hundred Years Ago.

ACACy 6CkCA 4404101C0 \ Na4 S &A6Os
 A financial journal that has been delving into the mysteries of past ages and the history of other nations quite recently printed a facsimile of a Chinese treasury note of the year 1867, probably the oldest piece of paper money in existence. This note was found last January along with other valuab bles in a bronze statue of Buddha which stood in temple within the in- closure of the summer palace of the Dowager Empress of China. Italian soldiers engaged in footing broke a hole in the base of the figure and the paper money tumbled out along with gold, silver and brass coins. lentils, rice. rolls of prayers. etc. The note was issued, according to the printing on 1t, "by the Board of Revenue of the Emperor Hung Wu in the year 1867" and it's value Is stated to he "250 taels" (about $167). It professed to be Ire deemable in silver bulion."
 Besides being the oldest known piece of paper money this treasury note makes 1t clear that Gutenberg was not the first user of movable type. The note was clearly printed with nova ble tyne at date over a hundred years before Gutenberg began to ex- petlHcHl He 1efIndn printer was born in 1401, long after the use of movable type in China. It is asserted. in fact. that the Chinese employed movable type as early as the eleventh century. The British museum has a Corean book of 1887. Paper money in China dates back to 140 B. c. or earlier. According to Klaproth the earlier bills were made of white stag skin and were a foot square.

fuse to move any more and we suffer from fearful headaches. Nothing Is more fatiguing than constantly walk ing while looking at the ground. It produces giddiness and a tipsy feeling
 There Is no cutthroat competition in our line. We often meet other men in the same business, in which case we leave them one side of the street and take the other without any recrimina- tion or ill-feeling. We have enough misfortunes already without adding to them by making enemies.
 Generally we work with relatives or friends. with whom we are on a part nership footing. We start out early in the morning and follow a fixed route. just like an official procession. Natu- rally we do not go through streets where there is nothing to glean. We always walk along main thoroughfares.
 "A favorite beat of ours covers the boulevards. the avenue De rOpera, the Rue de la Paiax and right on the ave- nue Du Bois de Boulogne. by way of the Boulevard Malesherbes, where we now are.
 The avenue Du Bois de Boulogne is one of our best hunting grounds. We carefully scrutinize the paths reserved for people on horseback. There coppers
 
 the horses shake the coins out of the riders pockets.
 We do no harm to anybody by an- nexing the coins We find. We would not keep 1,000f. notes if we found any. But a brown is missed by nobody.

The own CTS address was also inside So took it back and was given 3f. as a reward Having thus earned my days wages ] bought a bargain ticket for the 1900 exhibition and sent my wife to see the great fair. As for myself I had the treat of sitting down on bench all the afternoon and watching the automo- piles pass, instead of walking and star ing at the pavement. carrying on my 'filonnage.'
 Why is the name 'filonnage' given to your trader"
 "The name was invented by old Gau- tier who. before hunting for small coins on the Paris pavements, had been a gold prospector in America. Over there in the mines there are 'filons, or lodes of gold. As soon as the lode is discovered it only has to be followed, and the miners are always sure to find a number of nuggets. In our hunt for copper coins the same thing happens. WN4n we find one there are generally others near 1t.
 As we hunt for filons. or lodes of coins. we are called 'filonneurs.' or 'loders.' and our trade is called 'filon- mage or 'ioding.
 This dissertation ended, the coin hunter called up his companions. and after yawning. stretching their limbs and rubbing their eyes. they resumed their slow sad march, with back bowed and eyes downcast in the search for coins

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR TOMORROW

worshiped-(verses 20 to 22) spch an occasion would move even the basest nature to the very depths. Looking backward to the time when Gods first word came to him. (Gen- vi, 13): re- calling what had transpired in the in- tervening months; beholding about hin, an uninhabited earth; looking forward to the promises and their fuifillment, (Gen. vi, 1S) Noah and his household resolved to begin their new career oy acts of gratitude and worship to God who had preserved them alive ana shown to them his great mercy ana power. They builded an altar Ere serving Ithe forms which had been handed down from the earliest times and consenting to the faith in wnicn Abel died. they carried over into 'ne future what had been most precious m tbs ola days. those sacrifices which tvnihed the great sacrifice to be made on Calvary. (Rev. xiii, 8 or every clean beast and of every clean fowi burnt offerings were made. Tnat ac- able service moved the heart or God who pledged His mercy to the race that should spread from those elgnt souls.
 RefIections-1. It has been thought that the deulge. the greatest epocn or primitive time, made turning point Tn the physical conditions of humanity. There is supposed to have been change in the atmosphere. Paradisaical harmony of the earth had departed at an early day. There comes in now more constant order. The relations with the animal kingdom were greatly affected, and mans life was shortened. 3. There are stronger indications that the flood wrought great change in the spiritual life of man. The story or this great catastrophe was carried ln various forms by all the migrating peoples to their new homes, becoming a perpetual reminder of God. The worship introduced by Noah was also extended world wide. His faith was the seed corn as we'll as the sign Of future theocracy and the future church, An altar of sacrifice, an altar of thanksgiving. an altar of prayer, erected to Jehovah, is the distinguish ing feature of all times from Noah to this time.

One of the Queerest Industries of
 Paris.

One of the Queerest Industries of
 Paris.
 New York Herald:
 About 200 men in Paris find liveli- hood of some sort by hunting in the streets for stray coins. They are known as 'filonneurs.'
 In various parts of the city strollers may often see a number of wretched looking men. dressed in rags, walking slowly in Indian file, with their eyes fixed on the ground. If they are ob- served for some time one man after another will be seen to stoop down and pick up something.
 M. Arnould Gaiopin relates that he recently followed a group of these men during a quarter of an hour. They had been walking for hours. he afterwards learned. On the Boulevard Malesherbes they sat down on a bench and M. Gal opin entered into the following con versation with one of them:
 What are you looking for?
 The coin hunter, before replying. consulted his companions with a ques- tioning glance, and then said: Mon ey."
 This reply was received with incred- ulity, as the Paris poor often give ban terlng answers to questions from per sons they regard as capitalists. But this man was in earnest. He contin- ued:
 Yes. we are looking for money. On certain days we are fairly successful; on others we are very fortunate. l have sometimes known men to pick up as much as 3f. in a day. Generally. how ever, the work only yields about If. (5O cents) a day"
 This is not our best season. Winter is our harvest time. People wear gloves then. and in paying cabman or buy ins a newspaper they often drop copper coin."
 Yes but you have to find the coin."
 "Oh. that Is nothing. We can always see them. It is a matter of habit. Once the eye is trained a man never misses a coin"
 You must not think that everybody can become a coin hunter at a days notice. An apprenticeship is neces- sary."
 This remark excited a smile.
 But it is true" added the expert coin seeker. Tt took me a month and half to be trained never to miss sec ing a coin on the pavement During the first few days beginners look and look. but see nothing. They find a coin occasionally but that is more or less a matter of luck. When a coin hunt CTS eye is properly trained he will never pass a copper coin on the pave ment without seeing it.
 The mans weary companions were bv this time asleep on the street bench. As he looked at the pinched. haggard faces of his fellow outcasts the speak CT remarked:
 Tt is a very tiring trade. Very often we are utterly exhausted. Our legs re-

A Candid Admission.
Montgomery. Ala, July 1s. 1st

Montgomery. Ala. July 1s. 1901. Editor The Advertiser.
 In a published interview in New York, MT. John W. Tomlinson, an Ala bamian of some prominence. and a leader of the Bryan forces. is made to say in answer to the question:: "Is there any sentiment for MT. Hill in the South?"
 4,Mr. Hill is an able man." was the reply. T do not think he would be as strong as Grover Cleveland as the candidate in 1904. MT. Hill has al- ways won the help of the chivalrous delegates from the South by standing as a man. who was being abused by Tammany Hall. He is an able man, but we need some candidate who stands for the principles which MT. Bryan upholds. I think If the present era of prosperity continues. the Demo- cratic party might as well make no nomination for President in 1904, for the nominee would surely be heaten."
 Was there ever a more candid ad- mission that the Bryan party is a "ca- lamity party" composed of calamity howiers. pure and simple. who base their hopes of success upon adverse conditions in human affairs: they only hope to win by and through the mis- cry, distress and misfortunes of the people, and in the face of an .era of prosperity the calamity flag of course could not be unfuried. It cannot stand prosperity. We have heard of such be- fore
 But MT. Tomlinson makes the com mon error of supposing that Mir. Bryan and his calamity howlers constitute the rock-ribbed Democracy of the South. Bryan. by mere chance Ga catchy speech about a "cross of gold" and Napoleon on the lonely isle of St. He lena). managed to get the Democratic nomination and also control of the party machinery. and has had things his own way for several years. except when 1t came to being elected; but the true blue Democracy of the South will not be found acting with him and his calamity crowd when it comes to epik- ing our guns in the face of an "era of prosperity"
 Why be afraid of an "era of pros- perity?" Why not go in and enjoy some or 1t ourselves? I believe the Demo- cratic party is in need of and can stand as much prosperity as anybody.
 Anyhow, didn't we make the Repub- licans dish out the prosperity? Let's nominate another man and keen them at it.
