Hicks for October.

A reactionary storm period is central
on the 10th, 18th, and 18th. Look at this
time for return of storm conditions.
The Venus influence all through tbit part
of October will be to extreme of tempera-
ture with storms from vicious lightning
and thunder to sudden change into al
most winter storm and temperature.
A regular storm period covers the 10th
to Goth, having new moon at its center on
the 18th. In all probability this will
prove one of the most severe to dangerous
storm periods Of this month, if not the
whole autumn. Frost will work into cen.
trail to southern regions from the 18th to
the 22nd or dates touching. The 18th is
the center of another seismic period, ex-
tending from the 18th to the 20th. This
is most probable time when some more
earthquake 'faults" will conclude to ''let
up"
A reactionary storm period is central
on the 23rd to the 25th, at which time
change to warmer, with clordiness and
more rain may be expected.
A regular storm period covers the last
five days of the month, mbracing the
second full moon in October on the 31st
wide stretches of cloudness, rain and
snow will pass across the whole country
from west to east. The culmin alton of
these storms will probably center on the
31st, on or before which date an early
cold wave, with decided dashes of autumn
nal snow and gales, will be well on their
sweep from the northwest

THE DISCOVERY OF
MINES

Thus, the richest vein of silver in Chill was
discovered by Godoy, hunter in the Andes.
Fatigued by the chase, he seated himself, on
one occasion, under the shelter of great rock,
and was struck by the color and brightness
OF projecting part. He Clipped the stone
with knife, and finding he could cut it Ito
use his own expression) Ike cheese, he took
specimen Of it to Copiapo 1t was found to be
chloride of silver. He agreed to share the
profits Of his discovery with rich man, who
engaged to work the mine. They came at once
to masses of silver; but Godoy sold his inter
est in the matter for $4,000, and started to
find more mines, and, having wandered about
the Andes for some years, died, having met
with no more "luck," and without penny.
Two brothers named Bolados discovered near
Copiapo, in a crevice opened by some earth
quake, an enormous block of silver ore, the
cutting transport and fusion of which was
SO easy that these ignorant men effected it
without any assistance; and in less than two
years realized one hundred and forty thousand
pounds.
They squandered, however, this enormous
sum in gambling and dissipation, and when
had not even the wretehed pittance left on
which they had begun.
The history of the discoveries of the famous
Allison Ranch, in Nevada, CAL, is a more
satisfactory one. Some poor 1rishmen, WORK.
ers in O neighboring mine, were SO fortunate
as to hit upon it. They were so unlettered
as not to be able to write their Names but
they were excellent fellows.
They first built chapel to thank God for
HIS favors, then they erected handsome villas.

owner used to exhibit it as a curious rock
specimen.
Three years afterward, on going to the mar
ket at Lafayette, he took the stone to gold
smith, and asked fifteen shillings for it, which
was very readily paid. 1t was in reality a
nugget worth $4,S75. Thus it took four years
to find out that the yellow stones in the
streams of California were gold.
1t is fair to state, however, that science has
occasionally predicted where the precious
metals have afterward been found Sir Rod
erick Murchison, for instance, after visit to
the auriferous tracts of the Ural Mountains,
was struck by their great similarity to some
rock from East Australia, and in his address
to the Geographical Society, in 1914, prophe-
sled that gold would be found in the latter
region.
Led by his observations, one Smith, engaged
in the iron works at Berrima, searched for
gold and found it. He came to the governor
of the colony with nugget in his hand.
"See what 1 have found" said he "Give
me f500, and I will show you the place.
which the governor declined to do.
Again, Macgregor, Scotch shepherd, used
to sell grains and nuggets of gold to the
goldsmiths of Sydney, but would never reveal
where he got them.
1t is not usual, however, for discoverers OF
the precious metals to be prudent. They CON
slider themselves lucky in this particular line,
and will leave or sell good find in the
hope Of finding a better. This is what the
Spaniards call "the miners frenzy"

and placed their workmen in exceptional posi.
tions; and they went by turns every week to
San Francisco to spend their ingots of gold.
They retain their simplicity, though with an
income as large as that of many princes in Eu-
rope, but refuse to furnish any statement of
their receipts.
The success of Gould and Curry in their
Nevada silver mine is even more astonishing.

Tuscany, is very curious. M Porte. its orie;.

To an Indian hunter is owed the knowledge
of the chief American mines, and to shep-
herd the silver mines of Peru. This latter,
leading his flocks to feed on the slopes Of the
Andes, lighted fire to cook his meal, when
a pebble, heated by the flame, attracted his
attention by shining like silver. He found the
stone massive and weighty, and finally carried
it to the mint at Lima, where it was tested,
and proved to be good ore. AS the Spanish
laws, with view to encourage mine discovery,
make it the property of the finder, this lucky
shepherd became millionaire.
In North Carolina, in ITO, child picked
up yellow stone, of which its father, rude
settler, thought nothing; but, because it weigh
ed fifteen pounds, used it as door fastener
for his cabin-for he was so poor that the door
had no latch. He showed this stone to one OF
his few visitors, and he opined it to be a
metal Of some sort. after which verdict the

used to call 'Saucy jack He didn't know

SO bright and confdent-like with them clear
blue eyes Of his (as if he was quite sure you
wouldn't hurt him) that you felt you couldn't,
afore he ever spoke word.
Fact, he was reglar pet with every man
on board, officers and all; and if he was a
little mlschievous now and again, nobody liked
to be hard on him, for we all knew that there
was good stuff in him, and that after he'd
once got rid of his boyish ways, he'd make
as smart sailor as ever handled sheet. But
at last he got into real bad scrape, and this
was the way it happened:
ou see, Jack was tip-top hand at imi-
tatin' folks, just like play-actor; and you'd
think the ve-y folks themselves was there,
tallSln' and steppin' about, only to look at him
At last one fine day, nothing would sarve him
but ne must try and touch off the captain;
and he had him to the very life, givin' his
orders, with his head thrown back and one
arm stuck out like the handle Of teapot

at once l saw two or three of 'em start and
look awfully scared; and when turned round,
there stood the captain himself, as large as
iife, and looking like nor'east gale just afore
it busts!
Now, our captain was a smart seaman,
and right good fellow. in his way; but he
was rather one, O. your high and mighty sort,
and the bare thought of anybody laughin' at
him was enough to drive him clean crazy. So
you may think how he felt, and how we all
felt, too, when we saw him standin' there.

whelp, and stay there till / calf you down.
says he, through his clinched teeth; and when
you, come down again, I'll have something
ready for you that you won't forget in hur,
ry;
up went poor Jack, disrnally enough, and
the captain went aft again to his cabin. But
when, he, got there, he soon had something
else to think about.
IT should tell you that the captain had a
pet of his own, and that was little gray
monkey, es active and mischievous as Saucy
Jack himself. II and Jack were great friends
and they were always a-playin' and a-skylark-
