 morials to Be Investigated.
The shakespeare's Birthplace TruN Formed at Stratford-on-Avont to
 Search Ont Truth in Connec- tiAa with Each Relic.

What is and what is not worth pre- serving as a memorial of Shakespeara must always be an interesting question not only to Englishmen, but to Amer jeans. The Shakespeare's Birthplace trust has been formed to search out the truth in connection with. each relic, and see that as far as possible only the plain truth is told about the articles preserved in Stratford-on-Avon.
 Even Shakespeare's house is in large part restoration, fact duly stated or the souvenir ticket given to each visitor who pays for admission. Fortunately the birthplace needed less restoration than the adjoining and communicating house, which was John Shakespeare business place, andis now the museum yet even the birthplace has had such pos abilities of gE dual alteration that th

No de. fined lodes have yet been met with There are large outcrops of quartz, but these have no true walls separating them from the country rock; the quartz occur ring in large irregular shaped masses and blocks, enclosed in and intermixed with the quartzite. The gold occurs mostly in cellular quartz and gossan, the greater proportion of it being in very fine dust. Wherever seams of cellular quartz are found traversing the quartz and quartz tte, they appear to be an indication ot the presence of gold. The stone obtained from the workings is broken and sifted; the solid white quartz is rejected, and the cellular quartz, gossan, and siftings are saved for treatment at the govern ment battery. H

More and more gold is being taken out of the Yukon region each year, miners continue to go there and stake out claims, but the first fever of the gold strikes in the frozen north has subsided. And now comes news of discoveries in South Australia which may send the gold hunters from fhe far north to the far south.
 It is said that it is only necessary to expend capital and labor on the, gold fields recently discovered there to in- crease the gold returns of the colony a hundredfold The government geologist lately made report on the White Range mines, in the northern territory of the state, giving the history of mining 1n that district. The White Range is situ' ated at Arltunga, in the MacDonnel. ranges, some TO miles northward of Alice Spring telegraph station, which latter place is 330 miles northward of OodRa' datta, the present terminus of the Trans, continental railway.

In a handbook to the mines, recently issued the writer, while impressed with the good results that will follow the expendi- ture of capital on these gold fields, warns men who think of going to them that, un- less they have some G75 to G100 in their pockets, they will have tremendous hardships to encounter. Much capital must be expended on the fields before man of small means should even think of going to them.
