could take care of anyway, so he
would give some friend an interest
to help him get legal possession of
the ground. He filled in the holes he
dug and covered his find up as well
as possible and struck out for the
coast. Arriving at Juneau, he con-
cluded to go on to Portland, Ore,
where Dr Plnton, an old friend of
his childhood resides, and get his as
sistance.
The F-enchman arrived i'm Portland
in due time and had no trouble in
locating Dr. Panton. To the doctor
he displayed his nuggets and dust
and informed him about his fortunate
strike. 1t was an alluring tale and
Dr. Panton promised to help him.
Three days after the prospector's
arrival i'm the oregon metropolis he
became sick and sent for DIR. Pan
ton.
Another physician had been called
while the man was unconscious, but
as soon as he recovered so that he
could talk, he demanded that DR..
Panton be sent for. Together the
two physicians worked over the man
from Canada, but it soon became ap-
parent that the end was near, and he
was so Informed. He then called for
pencil and paper and excluded all
from the room except DIR. Panton.
To the physician he gave minute
directions as to where he found the
gold. He drew rough sketches of
the country, and with the last stroke
of the pencil he breathed his last.
DIR. Panton gave the body of his
old friend decent Christian burial
and then wrote a detailed account of
the whole affair to his brother S. p:
Panton, of this city. Mr.. Panton was
at first inclined to think that the
Frenchman was, like many other
prospectors, mistaken and perhaps
slightly demented He was of the
belief that 1t was all dream and
expressed the opinion that such things
only occurred in the story books. His
brother had urged him to come on
to Portland and proposed that they
go to Alaska together and there make
personal investigation of the ground.
1t was an alluring tale, and the
more Mr.. Panton read 1t the more in
terested he became. Another letter
came from his brother urging him
to come, and he finally paid his board
bill at the Montana and left for Port
land The two brothers left that city
at once, and they are now in Alaska
searching for more of the golden
nuggets found by their unfortunate
French friend.

DYING MINER
TOLD OF GOLD.
HIS STORY SENT
FRIENDS TC ALASKA
DR.. Panton, the Well Known Pros
pectOr, Now i'm the Wilds of the
North Following the Romantic
Story of Fabulous Riches Told Him
by an Old Canadian on His Death
Bed.

Everybody knows S. p. Panton, the
insurance man of Anaconda, and
everybody knows that he is a cool,
calculating business man, one who is
not likely to be carried away by a
fairy tale or pay a large amount of
cash for a gold brick. Yet Mr.. Pan
ton, says the Anaconda Standard, has
gone to Alaska to prove the truthful
ness or untruthfulness of a story
told by i French-Canadian prospector
who on his deathbed in Portland,
Ore, a few weeks ago, gave the de-
tails of rich gold discovery he had
made near Juneau.
The story goes that this French
Canadian, while on prospecting tour
in the golden-hued northern empire,
wounded a deer and followed the
bloody trail to a cliff of rocks, where
he ended its sufferings After get
ting some of the meat he built fire
and cooked some of 1t for his dinner,
and in doing this he naturally enough
disturbed some of the loose rock. Be
ing a prospector, he made an examin-
alton and found that much of 1t con-
tanned gold. The prospector then re-
turned to his permanent camp, and
the next day returned and in a short
space of time found and secured more
than $500 worth of gold. Below the
cliff he put down hole to bedrock,
which was not deep, and found
number of nuggets and coarse gold.
Now, this French-Canadian pros
pector was not posted as to the cor
rect legal way of making locations,
and after thinking the matter over
carefully, he concluded to hunt up
someone In whom he had confidence
to guide him in making the locations.
His observation led him to believe
there was more good ground than he

Portland, Or, June 29.-Several
hundred women filled the cozy audi
torium Of the First Congregational
church this morning and the S7th
annual convention of the National
American Woman Suffrage associa-
tion got under way under enthusias-
tic auspices. The church was taste
fully decorated, the most noticeable
emblem being what is called the wo-
mans flag, which contains the usual
number of stripes, but only five stars,
one for each of the states which, by
their constitutions, have granted the
right of suffrage TO women. None
the less. all the states of the Union
were represented. The delegations
we're assigned to particular pews
marked off by little banners and blaz-
oned with the name of the COM
monwealth.
About the rostrum, occupying seats
of honor, were the national officers
and pioneer workers of the equal
suffrage movement. Some few famil-
lar faces were missing, but others
there were who have been active in
the suffrage movement since its in
ception half a century ago, and who
have devoted their lives to its pro-
motion and extension.
The convention was called to order
by the national president, the Rev.
Anna Howard Shaw, of Philadelphia,
who made a vigorous address in
which she gave a brief epitome Of
the events of the last year, in so far
as they related to the suffrage move
ment. She could not report much,
she said, in the line of actual pro-
gress at the last session of congress,
but according to custom. a bill had
been framed and introduced to give
women the right of suffrage. She

Do you like fortune telling? Here

cards and say to one of your audi
ence, IF you will sit on the floor and
place these cards in a circle around
you I will tel you your true for
tune"
When your subject is seated on
the floor make him be very careful
to form complete circle. This will
take some time: When he has final
ly finished you assume a thoughtful
attitude and say: GO our past is that
you put the cards around you. Your
present is that you are sitting in the
center of the circle, and your fu-
ture is to pick up the cards. So get
