found in the pocket of an old vest
worn by her late husband about the
time he came from California over
thirty years ago. 1t is presumed
the nuggets were brought from the
cold fields by Mr.. Ivey. and forgot
en- about when the old garment was
laid aside. They are precious souv-

rhsy Did Business

From the Mining Microcosm, pub
lished Mt Smithville, Ark, it appear.
that the company OF gentlemen
piloted to that country by WIN. c
Uren lately, did some business there
and that they are likely to vigorous.
~ take part in the developement o!
the resources Of that region. The
Microcesm says: "Mr. VIM. c. Uren
and his party, Messrs. S. f. Shepard
j. ID. Martin, j. l.. Jackson, Robert
Duncan, Geo. Bachelor and Fred
Dunn, after spending several days
in exploring this zinc region. are
pleased with the country and as
toDished by its richness in zine ores,
their availability and the slowness
with which they are being devel-
oped. 1t is to be hoped that these
gentlemen will take hand with us
in opening up our mines, to their
own profit and the advancement Of
the welfare of all. They are from a
section where zinc mining is an old
and well established business and
consequently know by observation
what will follow the opening up Of
mines. in the way of business op-
portunities and increase of realty
values"
On another page of the same paper
it is stated, as. f. Shepard, james
ID. Martin, John jackson and w. c..
Uren have leased so acres of zinc
land belonging to John A. Black, 2
miles north of Smithville-Mr. Uren
is well known buyer of zinc ores,
having been employed in that ca
pacity for many years by the Min
eral Point (Wis.) smelling people.
He is a shrewd Judge of lands, and
has acquired a valuable property.
The advent of these men, conver-
SAINT by experience with the hand
ling of zinc in all branches, is of
great Importance to us. They mine
for profit. Work will begin at an
early day
1t is also learned that Messrs Dunn,
Duncan and Bachelor, other mem
bers of the party. took options on good
farms in the vicinity, all within to
Smiles of railroads. These lands from
representations of disinterested par
ties, and which are contracted at
"a 80 to $500 per acre, are equal in
character of soil and productiveness
to the lands in Iowa county that are
selling at $40 to scope acre.

LOST TREASURE FOUND.
Money Sent to General Bursoyns IN
a777 IL Recovered from Lake
ChampIain,

Ten thousand English sovereigns,
after lying for nearly a century and a
quarter in an old hulk at the bottom
of East bay, Lake Champlain, have
been recovered and are now deposited
in the Allen national bank in Fair
haven, says dispatch to the Chicago
Inter Ocean. For many years there
had been tradition in/ this part of
the state that at the bottom of East
bay, near Carver's falls, was sunken
boat containing a large amount OF
English gold, with which it was intend
ed TO pay off~the troops of Gen. Bur-
goyne in 1777.
The gold was shipped from Quebec
in small sloop, with crew and guard
of ten men, the expedition being un-
der the command of one Capt. john
son. 1t was intended to deliver the
money to Burgoyne, as his men were
almost in a state of mutiny because
they had not been paid. The vessel
was attacked by Americans, scuttled,
and the crew killed.
"A clVll engineer, VINO GREW the plahs
and superintended the construction of
the big dam at Carver's falls for an
electric power station, concluded that
he would investigate. Taking with him
about 30 men, he changed the course
of the stream, and then with pick and
shovel soon had one side of the sloop
free. A charge of dynamite broke up
the hull. The timbers were found in
good condition.
In the cabin was found considerable
glass, and, other ware, is muskets,
much the worse for their long INNER
sion, and other minor articles. An
old iron chest was found in the cap
tain's room. When opened it was found
to contain 10000 sovereigns.

receiving, lent II far greater impress
ivcncss to the occasion. Although
there was no public announcement that
President Roosevelt would be present.
a rumor of his coming had spread
among the crowd. and big squad Of
policemen had some difficulty in re-
straining them at the entrance.
The reception was held in the great

men and those in charge of the cere-
monies. The purpose was to admit
only those wearing badges. Those
alone numbered several thousand. and
great number Of the general unin-
vited public had managed TO gain en-
trance.
Particularly noticeable was the cx-
treme caution not only of the body Off
GERS, but Of those having the affair in
charge for the adequate protection Of
the president.
The most unique and original feature
Of the reception was the fact that there
was absolutely no handshaking. The
suggestion to eliminate this old time
custom originated with President and
Mrs. Hadley and was readily adopted
by the president after consultation with
Secretary COrtelyou. Secretary Cortel-
you was asked whether this decision
was reached because Of the tragedy at
Buffalo. He replied that 1t had not
been considered In that light and need
not be necessarily taken as a precedent
for the future. The nonhandshakln
programme, however. seemed to work
to the satisfaction Of all concerned, and
this, together with the admirable ar
rangements, expedited the proceedings.
Light refreshments were served at
the side hall opposite the official party.
1t 10 estimated that 5000 persons at
tended the recef<ioh. At its conclusion
