the above mentioned article as a
sample of how honest the management

worthy cause-in consideration Of

But the rawest fake now on the
boards IL one Of these guaranteed
against loss games, that Is being
operated from San Francisco. A
supposedly reputable journal Is
publishing its flaming advertisement,
which contains a halftone cut Of the
tunnel site,' which Is merely a
section Of boulder strewn hillside.
Well, that Is the most marvellous
piece Of Photographic and halftone
work ever saw or heard Of.
N the fact that the
cut Is printed In black ink, you can
plainly zee the gold in the tunnel
In the boulders, the country
rock, everywhere; even In u near by

cameras range. OF course, that Is
4 bait for suckers, and am willing
To gamble that it catches that variety

"You gentlemen have doubtless
noticed that to obtain the same
results IL costs about five times as
much for advertising during the past
,hree months AZ II did year ago.
The reason therefor is this illegiti-
nate competition Of wildcatters, and
I is growing worse every day. You
would be afraid to make such
tatements and promises as they do;

ssatern sharks, for 90 per cent Of

ocal papers. You couldn't induce

THE PACIFIC OCEANS FLOOR
What Would Be Revealed II Water
Were Drained Of.


Leslie's Weekly says: II the waters
OF the Pacific could be drained there
would be revealed q vast stretch of
territory, comprising enormous pla-
teaus, great valleys for which no par
allels exist on the land surface, lofty
mountains beside which the Himalaya
and the Andes would look like hillocks
and tremendous hollows or basins only
to be compared with those on the face
Of the moon.
While there are great mountains and
huge basins or deeps, the plateau areas
are by far the most extensive. Rela-
lively speaking. the floor of the Pa
ciflc is now at last revealed on the
plateau areas in level. There are un-
dulatjons and depresslons, but the gen.
eral area is about the same depth be-
low the surface.
Soundings develop a mean depth Of
from $500 to 200 fathoms. In shoaler
spots there is a mean depth OF from
1900 to 2,400 fathoms Deeper spots
show from $500 to 1900 fathoms.

DRAGGED DOWN BY A wARsHIP.
How It Feels to Be Sucked Under
Water by Foundered Steamer.

In the Edinburgh Medical Journal
James A. Lawson gises an interesting
description of his thrilling experience
when he was dragged under water by
a sinking ship. When he was far
down in the swirling waters he
struck out for the surface, but only
went further down. This exertion
was a serious waste of breath, and
after what appeared to be ten or flf-
teen seconds the effort of inspiration
could no longer be restrained, and
pressure of the chest began to develop.
The most striking thing he remem-
bered was the great pain in tho chest,
which increased at every effort to ex-
piration and inspiration. 1t seemed
as If he were in a wise, which was
gardually being screwed up, until 1t
felt the sternum and spinal column
must break. The "gulping" process
became more frequent for about ten
efforts and hope was then extin-
guished.
The pressure after these gulps
seemed unbearable, but gradually the
pain seemed to ease up. as the car
bonic acid was accommodating In the
blood. At the same time the efforts
at inspiration, with their accompany
ing gulps OF water. occurred at longer
and longer intervals. The writer's
mental condition was then such that
he appeared to be in pleasant dream,
but still had enough will power to |
think of friends at home, etc. Be- |
fore finally losing consciousness the
chest pain had completely disap-
peared. and sensation was actually
pleasant. When consciousness re-
turned he found himself ON the sur
face of the water (probably from the
action of the life belt. and finally
