CITY OF MACON SOLD

WILL RUN TO BALTIMORE.
ANOTHER OCEAN STEAMSHIP FOR
NEW YORK-BOSTON ROUTE.

Numbers Seventeen Ships.
The Ocean Steamship Company has
sold the steamship City of Macon to
the Merchants and Miners Trans
portation Company and she will be
placed on the Savannah Baltimore line
at once.
The Macon has been on the
Ocean Steamship Company's New
York Boston line for the last two or
three years. carrying besides the
through passengers and freight bust
ness between Savannah and Boston,
the local business between New York
and Boston. She was taken off Satur-
day and laid up at the Ocean Steam
ship Conpany's yards at Hoboken, N.
]. The understanding is that she is to
delivered at once to her new
owners and will take her place
on the line between here and
Baltimore this week. Her purchase
by the Merchants and Miners Com
pany brings it's fleet up to seventeen
ships.
Price Said to BE S125,O0O.
Col. A. r. Lawton was asked yes
terday in regard to the sale, and the
continuance of the New York Boston
line. He said the ship had been sold
to the Merchants and Miners Com
pany and would be turned over at
once, but he declined to say what the
purchase price was. 1t is said, how
ever, that it was $125,O0O.
1t was the understanding some time
ago that the City of Macon was to go
to the Roachs in part payment for the
sister ship to the City of Memphis
which the company is to build.

Col. Lawton said that the New York
Boston line will be continued without
a break in the service. One of the 9TH

The City of Augusta is laid up in New
York for repairs and it may be that
she will be used or perhaps the
Chattahoochee, which formerly ran on
the Boston line.
Whether ultimately the direct Sa-
vannah- Boston line will be restored
could not be learned, but there has
been a rumor that it will be in a
short time.
The City of Macon was built by John
Roach & Sons at Chester, Pa. in 1877.
She is an iron screw steamer of 1908
tons gross register and 1,447 net. Her

MILLIONS IN GOLD DUST.
The Vast Tundra Plains of the Behr. ing Sen Coast Teeming With
 Gold Dust.

Portland, Ore, April 30.-According to the Nome Nugget, of February II, which has arrived from the north, coming by registered mail via Daw- son, very important discovery has been made there. A New York syn- dicate, at the head of which is George D. Roberts, a well-known mining man of the Pacific coast, had been for Ia months quietly prospecting the tun- dra between Nome and Penny rivers. The result of the work accomplished, the paper describes, as startling. It shows that millions of gold dust are deposited in the vast tundra plains which skirt the Behring coast. The investigations and prospecting were conducted by J. U. Pickard, q thor oughly competent engineer, and practical miner of many years ex- perience, and his statements are said to be in every way reliable.

Well Planned Escape.

Charles Etu. white. sent up from Garland county for twenty-one years, escaped from the penitentiary brick yard at Little Rock through cunning ly devised scheme. Etu. with some others, was loading a car of lumber The lumber was in three lengths, twelve, fourteen and sixteen feet Etu managed to have this car loaded so that the twelve-foot lengths were on the bottom and the fourteen-foot and six teenfoot lengths on top. This left a considerable space between the floor of the car and the roof It is sup posed that Etu, when the car was about half full, crawled down into the nest he had prepared. The car when load ed was switched off on a siding, where he changed his suit of stripes for that of citizens clothes and walked off un. molested. Etu, with J. A. James, was convicted of robbing a visitor at Hot Springs. then tying his hands and feet and attempting to throw his body un. der a moving train.
