Special to the Record.

Frank Higgins, the most youth.
full murderer to receive the death
sentence in Canada, expiated his
crime on the gallows today.
Higgins, who was not quite

named Doherty, fourteen years

a petty matter, and Higgins,
who had a rifle in his hand, shot
Doherty dead and afterwards

station Of the West London Extension
railway. The girder bridge which span
ned 3attersea Park road was construct

needed. The old bridge weighed fifty
tons. and the new one. which is just
over 100 tons. had been erected on a
tramway some time ago. ready TO be
brought into service. Soon after mid
night on n recent Saturday prepara-

everything was ready. and ;he men In

They knew nothing OF gold signs and
by mere accident ran across some pros
pectors, who, put them on the trail that
led to fortune. They panned up a GER
tain creek near their ranch, following
IL to its source and finding gold I'm in
creasing quantities the higher they
went. In their explorations they reach
ed a gloomy canyon, where the rum
bling of the waters and the roaring OF
the wind were so continuous as TO re-
semble the rolling of thunder. The
canyon led them into an extinct crater,
at an altitude of 1900 feet above the
sea, and here their ears were stunned
by terrific thunder penls and their eyes
dazzled by the play of incessant light
ming flashes. The persistent peals OF
thunder caused them to give the place
tie distinctive name and that was
only last year-of, Thunder mountain
by which IL as well as the district OF
which II is the central feature is now
known.
In the old crater the Caswells found
vast amounts of free gold held in por-
phyry rock or .decompose6 quartz. They
had $4,000 worth OF this remarkably
pure gold assayed at Boise City and
sold for 100000 claims which are now
held for "a million.
This i'm briefest outline. is the story
of Thunder mountain and it's wonderful
region of gold, toward which at present
thousands are hurrying with the ex-
pectation of returning laden with treas.

TO TEST DIAMONDS.

The following simple tests for dia-
monds may be found useful The dia-
mond expert. after long years of expe-
rience with gems. can detect an imita-
tion, as a rule. at a glance. The lay
man I'm such matters, with a few sim
pie tests, takes more time 10 solve such
problems. but his Judgment in the end
need not be less accurate.
An imitation diamond is never so bril-
liant as genuine stone II your eye is
not experienced enough TO detect the
difference. a very simple test is To place
the stone under water. The imitation
stone Is practically extinguished. while
a genuine diamond sparkles even under
water and is distinctly visible. When
possible, place a genuine stone beside
the possible imitation under water. and
the contrast Will be apparent to the
least experienced eye.
The glass cutting test is. OF course
more or less familiar. It Is probably
the most common. False diamonds are
usually cut more regularly than the
genuine stones In cutting diamond
the material Is saved as far as possible.
In any imitation the material is itself
worthless. and no attempt IL made to
suit the size or angle OF the facets TO
the form Of the stone. IL can be put
down as a safe rule that when a ston,
Is cut with great evenncss and rcgu
larity IL is. to say the least, very sus
picious sign.

remains that after the first flush has

to the world at large. Such was the
