GOLD MINE DOWN
THREE-QUARTEGS MILE

MELBOURNE. June 27.-AustraIia
now possesses the deepest gold mine in
the world. Within the last few weeks
the shafts at the New Chum railway at
Bendigo. Victoria, have been sunk to a
depth Of over 4.500 feet. and the quartz
there topped has been sampled and
crushed. with the result that a yield OK
gold equal TO an ounce per ton has been
obtained.
The operations in the mine have been
tested by government officials. in view
of the fact that never before in the
worlds history has gold been obtained
from so low a depth as three-quarters
of n mile.
The Victorian director of geology, E.
J. Dunn, in the course Of an official re-
port upon sample from the 4.300-foot
shaft Of the New Chum. writes:
This remarkable speciment Of auri-
ferrous quartz is evidence of the vast
stores of wealth in gold possessed by
the state. 1t is a guarantee OF the sta
bility and progressive prosperity of Ben.
digo that such rich ore exists at such
great depths. The winning of such orc
from vertical depth OF over three
quarters of mile from the surface IS
an achievement of which Bendigo min
ers may justly feel proud"

Comptroller Refuses
To Pay Ten Cent Bill
Says Officially That Charge "For Securing
Signature of Consignee" Is Case of
Unadulturated Nerve.

Comptroller of the Treasury TraceweIl
has turned down a bill o. 10 cents pre-
sented by the American Express Com
pany. He has also taken occasion TO re-
mark in official language that he con-
siders the charge a case of unadulterated

The express concern carried a box of
goods of some sort weighing fOrty-eight
pounds from Cape Vincent, y. Y, TO

CROSSED THE SEA
TO CLEAR HIS NAME
Quit Job in America to Vim
diCate Honor in
England.

LONDON. June IA voyage Of 1900
miles to clear his name from the sus-
picion OF a crime is the remarkable
feat Of a man named William Fleming.
of Scarborough.
Fleming is an ex-soldier. Some time
ago he went to America to seek his
fortune, and found what. to a man in
his humble position. was a good post. A
few weeks ago he received a letter from
his wife, saying ne was suspected of
breaking into a house and stealing $40.
Fleming soon made up his mind what
to do. He threw up his work. got a
berth on a cattle boat. and worked his
wav to Liverpool. From that pore he
went to Hull. and gave himself up to
the police They would not take the
charge. so he tramped as far as the
police station at Scarborough.
Il am innocent" he said. but want
to be proved innocent. Arrest me-"
Yesterday he was brought before the
magistrate and discharged without a
stain on his character. The mission
for which he crossed the Atlantic was
accomplished
There is an element of pathos IN the
strange story. Fleming's father. who
was in New York. was in delicate
health, and so shocked by the news of
the accusation that he died. Another
point is that his sense of honor has
been his ruin. in a money sense. He
is now penniless and out of work. But
he still looks on life cheerfully, and
hopes to be able to work his way TO
America soon-
says. -and that's what I came back
for"
