extraction of the billions in gold
which are scattered through the
rocks and soil of the Witwatersrand.
1t required new processes, but science
and invention supplied them. Here is
a gold-bearing reef, 40 miles IN
length, 20 miles in width and in which
borings to depth Of $500 feet show
gold in undiminisned quantities! How
much gold is there in the Witwater-
srand? Hundreds, probably thousands
Of billions Of dollars Of it!
The Witwatersrand conglomerate
carries only the insignificant amount
of ten pennyweight of gold to the
ton, but it runs uniform, therefore it
is only a question Of machinery and
labor to determine the yield. Money
supplies the machinery and China
the labor. The annual production Of
the Transvaa] gold factories now ex-
ceeds S1OO,OO0,OOO and the record is
broken every month. If labor can be
had, there is no reason why the out
put should not reach half billion a
wear, and the rock can be worked
for centuries without making a Ser
ious impression on it's vast extent.
Not many years ago it was discov-
cred that all of the soil in the Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin valleys was
filed with gold. We will consider
what is being done in the Sacramen'
to. For hundreds Of miles this river
runs through broad valley OF &

than one hundred miles. When it be-
came known that gold was scattered

GOLD IN VAST SUPPLY.

The time has come when gold is an
csrTTiiele of manufacture, writes +. U"
Adams in Success Magazine. There

produced in enormous quantities with
absolute elimination Of risk. I shall

are We a Courtroom. Peoples

Are we as Americans as courteous
In all our relations of life as well dis
posed visitors occasionally think us?
Are we as courteous as mixed blood,
equitable laws and a prevailing senti-
ment of self respect might be reason
ably expected to make us? Do we not
sometimes confound issues, confuse
disinterestedness with politeness and
believe that because good breeding
comes from the heart all good hearted
people are consequently we'll bred?
Yet there are men and women who
stand ever ready to help their fellow
creatures and who are seldom or ever
polite to them. DR.. Johnson was one
of the kindest of men, but of that
courtesy which respects the feelings as
well as the rights of others he had new
er the faintest perception. Now, what
harm does it do man to contradict
him?" he used to say, and contradic-
ton was the guiding principle of his
talk. 1t is a guiding principle with
people of much less intelligence today,
end it gives to conversation a rough
acerbity, destructive alike of pleasure
and responsiveness. 1t is supposed to
be masculine prerogative, but, like
other masculine prerogatives, has been
usurped by an advance guard of wom-
en.-Delineator.

Craze for Pearl Hunting.

Twenty Years ago pearl craze
started in Wisconsin. Every one dug
CLANS. Mills stopped and the water
was drawn from the mill ponds that
the people might get the mussels more
easily. Previous to 1895, according to
the government report, $500, 900 worth
of pearls were found in Wisconsin,
Sugar river alone yielding SO, coo be-
fore becoming exhausted. AT that
time river pearls were not valued as
highly as oriental, but now they
are eagerly bought by jewelers.. Several
years ago button factories were estab-
lished at various points on the Ms
sissippi river. Men collected CLANS
and sold the shells to these factories
to be made into pearl buttons. Some
pearls were found and another craze
soon started. Men fiocked to the river
from all walks of life. White men.
red men, black men, brown men and
women, all came, though after a
month of sun, wind, and river waite r
coffee. racial characteristics were not
conspicuous. In the summer Of 1902
it was said that 10000 men were
claiming on the Mississippi and its
tributaries. In the spring of the next
year the rush was even greater, br t
this did not last long. Owing to the
everlasting of the previous season the
market was already overstocked and
the price of shells had dropped so low
that by July comparatively few boats
were at work. Many enormous beds
that were thought inexhaustible had
given out, the shell buyers rejected SO
many shells (only about quarter of
those caught were salable even at the
low prices then prevailing that in the
latter part of the season the river was
almost deserted.

In her book Dixie After the War
Mrs. Myrta Lockett Avary tells the
following Lincoln story in connection
with General Pickett, who led the
charge at Gettysburg: Mr.. Lincoln had
taken warm interest In young George
Pickett as cadet at West Point. Dur
ing his hurried sojourn in Richmond
Lincoln's carriage and armed retinue
drew up in front of the old Pickett
mansion. The generals young wife
came out, with her baby in her arms,
aud said, II am General Pickett's

Madam" Lincoln answered, Il am

coln.'

she asked.

The child reached out his hands, and
when Lincoln took him in his arms ne
kissed the president.

was discovered under the fender. Mrs.
Baker was carefully lifted out of the
