GOLD BEARING TREES.
Chasrsd Wood That Carries Free Gold In
Thunder Mountain.

Arizona has hcr petritied forests,
but II was left for the Thunder
Mountain region of Idaho To come
To the front with IL phenomenon that
IL something for scientists To ponder
over. The great coal fields of the
world are supposed tn have vegetable
matter for their basis, but. In the
Thunder Mountain region, forests
which, for ages have been covered
by many feet of rock aud soil ARE
found tn exist as charcoal when
uncovered In mining operations.
This is peculiar condition, but not
half 81 much ~ as Is the fnct that
this charcoal contains gold in its
native state. The cNistcncce OF
charcoal In the mines of Thunder
Mountain has been known ever since
region, but il has been only recently
that huge trees, ''charcoalizcd" in
stead Of pctriiicd, have been found
many feet under the ground as mine
development progresses. In com
mentinn upon this discovery, the
Statesman. Of Boise, says:
"Among the many remarkable
things found in Thunder Mountain,
none have caused more comment or
provoked more discusson than the
discovery Of large quantities of
charred wood at great depth which
carried quantities Of free gold all
through II.
"Many such finds have been made
In the Dewey and adjoining proper
tics. An entire tree WAS recently
found, which Is described in u letter
from Roosevelt to the Spokesman
Review.
There have been various comments
on the gold. bearing tree found at II
depth OF 100 feet in the Dewey.

that it would or could knock out the

it for such purpose, but it did, and
it seemed with the second attack of

TO 1NDIcT STATE SENATORS.
Missouri-Lieut. Gov. Lee

Jefferson City, Mo-, April 2o.-1t is
only matter of conjecture as to
whom were indicted here by the
grand jury Friday night in connec-
ton with legislative bribery charges.
Sheriff Smith is out of the city and
his return is watched with interest,
for he will serve the warrants.
The grand jury will report, it is
said on authority, four more indict-
ments for bribery, and these will
probably be against state senator's,
two of whom live in st. Louis. These
indictments will be in connection
with the alum legislation.
st. Louis, April 2o.-Lieut. Gov.
Lee is absent from St. Louis now
because he is physically unable to
undergo the strain of testifying be-
fore the grand jury. "He has un-
dergone terrible nervous strain in
the last few months and must have
rest" said Robert F. Lee, brother
of the lieutenant governor. II don't
know his address in Chicago, but I
have reasons to believe he is there
and will probably hear from him
soon. He is simply getting into con-
dition to testify"

Shamrock III, challenger for the
Americas cup, which was dismantled
in a squall Friday. is being rapidly
overhauled. The destruction of her
standing gear was almost complete.
Everything above deck must be re-

sails are ruined.
Lloyd's agent inspected the dam

of the loss is available, but it is

thing. This. however, is largely
speculation. Nothing definite will be
known on the subject until Designer
Fife arrives here.
Sir Thomas Upton is stiff and

he is recovering from the shock
