A TENDERFOOT'S
 LUCKY SPIKE.
While Seeking Health StumbleS
 Upon Wealth.

The following story Of the luck Of q tendcrfoot, published in the Santa te New Mexican, makes the old-time prospector shudder: \ phenomenal gold strike was made recently near Golden, \. M.. by I7ador Sherman, Of New York. Young Sherman went to Santa Fe county, New Mexico. for his health. He had never seen a mine, but was furnished with a pick and shovel and told to go to work. He started to work on an abOudoued claim On the north slope Of the San Pedro he encountered pocket Of free mill ing gold ore from which S2,COJ was taken The pocket consisted Of IT, inch pay streak Of dccOmpOsed quartz bespanglcd with the yellow metal. However. the ore soon gave out. but sherman felt confident that the mother lode must be somewhere in that immediate vicinity, 90 he started pros specting for the vein. Finally be decided to drive tunnel higher up the mountain. When ten feet below the surface he spied piece of wire gold a. large as a knitting needle pro- truding from the quartz wall in front Of him. It was short and exciting work to get in on this quartz vein and with every stroke Of the pick new and rare riches were exposed. In the up- per left hand corner Of the tunnel four by six feet, the vein is eighteen inches wide where first struck and thirty inches wide in the lower right hand corner. A few feet further in the whole face of fhe tunnel showed the same rich quartz, glittering with wire and nugget gold, some Of the latter being rare specimens of crystalized gold hitherto found only in rare in- stances in the southern santa Fe min ing districts. Samples of the ore gives returns as high as 375.000 per ton, and the discovery is causing great excitement.

Silver No Longer An Issue.

Senator Vest or Missouri expressed his opinion today very decidedly that a man may be good Democrat with out indorsing the declaration in the Kansas City platform for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of l5 10 l. His connection with the party, running through half century, his long and distinguished career in the Senate, where he has been lead ing exponent or D -mocraJic principles. make the expression Of Senator Vest very important and interesting at this time.
 The Senator said: Il have no ob- iection 10 stating hat, while am bi-metalli-t. sincerely and truly. and believe silver is money Of ultimate redemption. I do not think that this is the time 10 make the free and uulimit- cd coinage of silver at l6 to l q para mount issue. I believe that a man can be q good Democrat without indorsing the declaration in the Kansas City platform for the free and unlimited coinage Of silve.
 T will further state that I think Mr. Bryau's declaration, made in his paper and in his speeches at Chilli cothe and other places m Missouri, that no mar should be sent d. a dele gate to any county, state or national convention who does not endorse the Kansas City platform in it's entirety, is very great mistake. If this is 10 be the test of Democracy, men will be read out of the party who, like myself. have voted the ticket for fifty years. but who now believe that circumstan- ces have made the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of lG to l an impoIite declaration.
 "If this should be the test of Dcmoc- racy, mum bero of Democrats who stood by the doctrines and principles of the party when il was worth mans life to do so would he driven from the or ganization. I know d great many old veteran Democrats in Missouri who stood, in the dark days after the civil war, by the side Of Frank r. Blair, pistol in hand, who would be read out of the ranks if the issue should ba made as repeatedly declared by Mr. Bryan.
 ii am bimetallist upon principle, but I do not believe that men should be ostracized or declared traitors to the party because they do not think that free and unlimited coinage of sil- yer at l6 to is to be always test of DemOcracV

The production of iron ore in France
is centered principally in three dis
tricts-that of the northeast, or the
Meurtheet-Moselle, is the most i'm
portant, producing 100000 tons OF
the 5,50O,O0O tons of iron ore mined in
France annually; that of the Pyrenees,
producing 100000 tons, and that OF
Normandy, 10000 tons. The last may
be said to be in it's infancy. From
it's geographical position its ores are
generally sent to foreign countries,
while the ores produced in the other
districts are-consumed by the metal
lurpical industries of France.

Big Price for Old stumps.

Old walnut stumps are on a boom
throughout Tennessee. Stumps that
have remained unnoticed for years
and were regarded as worthless are
now eagerly sought after at prices that
seem almost fabulous. An Indiana
concern has had men travelling over
the country buying every old walnut
stump that could be found. At first
the prices paid were small, but as the
eyes of the stick timber folks began
to open the prices went higher and
higher until now they are out Of sight
and the funny part of it is that the ug-
lier, knottier and more unsightly the
stump the more money it will bring
The stump of walnut tree that was
cut down several years ago brought
more than the whole of the tree 1t is
stated that the stumps are made into
veneering material and used in the
manufacture of high-grade furniture.

SAYS BRITISH ARE UNDERFED.
Sir J. Crichton browne, NJ. d. De"
clares Race Is DeteriOrating
from Too Little Food.

Thirty per cent. of the population
of Great Britain is underfed.
Such is the declaration of Sir j.
Crichton Browne, NJ. D., president OF
the medical section Of the information
al congress for the welfare and pro-
lection of children, lately held in Lon
don.
* ''The conquest of South Africa is
complete, the empire is in state OF
peace, the king has recovered from a
dangerous illness and has been
crowned and may reasonably look
forward to a long reign. Now, what
about the many thousands OF young
Britons right here in Edwards imperial
city who, for lack of food, may never
reach healthy and robust maturity?'
The above are the sentiments of
philanthropic workers in the slums,
and in the factory districts. Sir
Charles Brownies statement has a
broader application.
He finds that even in the rural dis
tricts the food habits of the masses
are calculated to prevent boys from
growing up into useful material where
with to fight and conquer Great Brit
aims enemies in war.
''My observation leads me to believe y
says the distinguished medical au-
thority, "that the masses are improp'
erly fed as we'll as underfed. For ex'
ample, in rural districts in Scotland,
where milk was to be had in plenty, it
is now scarce. 1t Is sent off to the
city to be sold. The children are fed
on bread and tea and cheap jams, and
even oatmeal has passed into the
background as a staple article OF
diet.
s'When we turn to the townsfolk we
see in the anaemic faces, the lack OF
sound teeth and the stunning of bodies
evidence of deterioration due to mis-.
use of food!"
In the factory town Of Dundee boys
between the ages of II and IL years
were found to average ten pounds un.
der weight and nearly four inches un.
der height. Girls were found to fall
below the standard also.
The publication of these figures and
other statistics on the>subject has at
tracted much attention throughout
England. Nothing can cause greater
CONSERVATION in the average Brito1
than the conviction that his race i:
deteriorating. The matter is likely tt
be brought up in parliament.
