ODD TREASURES OF A TOWN.

Gre reads of romantic castles of
silver and palaces ofgold, but they
are the dreams of fiction now they
have discovered something as
strange on the map of Mexico.
The buildings of whole town
have been bought at so much per
ton, based on assays from the
adobe walls which give gold and
silver values. This town is Guam
ajuato's suburb, Tepetapa, at a
value DISCO, oooMexican currency.
The value Of this little town
was revealed when the Mexican
Central decided to build into the
city of Guanajuato and to estab-
fish station there, running into
the heart of the town.
1t was found necessary to tear
down about three hundred build
ings which had been bnilt of the
shines produced by the grinding
of ores from the numerous mines
Of the districts. Straw was mixed
with the slime and in this way the
adobe bricks were made.
When it became known that the
Central would have to tear down
these houses an enterprising ore
buying company asked for permits
sion to assay ore taken from the
buildings. This was granted and
samples were picked from the walls
at various heights and on various
sides of the buildings, the assays
running in value from So to S24
per ton in gold and silver. The
values averaged S. gold per ton.
AS the buildings were built in
various bonanza epochs, it was
found that the values varied to a
large extent. For instance, a wall
on one side of a house would assay
low value, whereas wall on the
other side, built at an earlier or
later time, would assay high
value. A mans kitchen might
assay so cents per ton and his par
lor $50.
That the walls are found to con-
tain more gold than silver values
is due to the fact that the old pa
ito process of treating the ores was
more effective in extracting silver
than gold values and the shines
left were richer in gold than silver.
1t will be harder to build such a
town in the future, as the camp is
now fitted out with modern ap.
planes for treating ores.

Noah's upright character can be
made to shine against the univer-
sal degeneracy of his times. It
proves one can be good in spite of
ones environment. A boy can
keep his lips unsullied, though the
air around him is blue with pro-
family. He need not lie, nor cheat,
nor gamble, though those with
whom he is thrown in school, shop
or store all do. If he keep up
right, he will prove Gods instru-
ment of good to his fellows.

Again his faith eXemplifies itself.
He had saved only few specimens
of clean animals; but he prepares
to offer some of them, with full as
surance that God would supply
their places. and see that the
species did not become extinct.
When the fragrance of that whole
burnt offering came up before the
Lord, He knew that Noah intended
it should signify the complete de-
votion of himself, his descendants,
and the renewed earth to God.
AS a plying Father, God graci-
ously responded to the suppliant
patriarch, allaying his fears with
the assurance that the cata-
clysm just passed should never
be repeated; the benefcent regu-
larity of the seasons should know
no interruption. human life should
have safeguard. God delegates
His judicial power to man to this
end. The first principle of human
government is here irradia ted in
the statute, "Whoso sheddeth
mans blood, by man shall his
blood be shed.
The Noachian covenant was now
ready for its seal. God took the
very substance which had destroy
ed the earth, and transmitted it
into royal signet to attest His
promise never again to whelm the
race. There it stood in all the
dazzling splendor of its prismatic
colors-an arrowless bow, bent to :
ward heaven, the very vastness of
its sweep signifying the Wilderness
of Gods mercy" To all genera
tons the inefable and assuring
words which first fell upon Noah S
ears have resounded, This is the
token of the covenant.

The Joy Liner LarchmOnt in
in Collision With Schooner
Passengers Die Of Exposure.
BODIES BEING WASHED ASHORE.

BLOCK ISLAND, r. L., Feb. 12:--
The steamer Larchmont of the Joy
line, with many passengers on board,
bound from Providence for New York,
sank off the northwest side of Block
Island early today after having been
in collision with the thres-masted
schooner Harry Knowlton, off Quon-
chontaug.
The passengers and crew from the
steamer took to the boats, but many
passengers are believed to have lost
their lives, either by being drowned
or frozen, as the temperature was be-
low zero.
When the first boats came ashore
from the steamer 1t was found that
some of their occupants were dead.
In the first confusion it was not
known whether they had been pulled
from the water after having been
drowned or whether they had beer
frozen to death.
Bodies are being washed ashore
along the coast.

CONCERT AT
HIGH SCHOOL
FOR HOSPITAL
0rpheus Glee Singers and Prof.
Barbour Delight Large Audi
enCe at Hospital Benefit.
IN A WELL-BALAMCED PROGRAM

Before an audience which filled the
high school auditorium to standing
the Orpheus Glee Club double male
quartet and Prof. Livingston E. Bar
bour appeared in program last night
which allowed a wide scope for their
capabilities and earned them undi-
vided appreciation and applause. All
of the artists were at their best
which means much to those who
have ever heard the Orpheus mem
bers sing or Prof. Barbour recite. The
concert was for the benefit of the
city hospital fund and a snug sum
was realized.
A. w. Treat was again heard in
the double quartet, as in past sea-
sons. Mr. Treat and S. j. Mason
sang first tenor; S. r. and M. F.
Audsley, second tenor; c. H. Aldrich
and w. A. Jack, first bass; and c. e.
Ullman and E. S. Hilsdorf, second
bass. Mr.. Hilsdorf, accompanied by
Miss Augusta Harrington at the piano,
scored in "The Chase" and an en-
core was given, a humorous selection.
Mr.. Hilsdorf accompanied Messrs.
Treat and Aldrich In their duet.
Prof. Barbour is so well known as
an elocutionist that comment is futile,
but it can be truthfully said that he
never appeared to better advantage.
AS one encore he gave Eugene Field S
Little Boy Blue" and as another a
very funny English character selec-
tion.

ROOSEVELT
WOULD BAR
The DETAILS.
Thaw Trial Scored by Chief Exc
cutive Testimony Unfit
for the Mails.
EXPERT SAYS THAw CRAZY.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-It has been
learned here that President Roosevelt
has officially asked Postmaster Cen
eral Cortelyou whether It is feasible to
bar from the mails the papers that
publish the full disgusting particulars
Of the Thaw case and requesting that
if it can be done that the mails be
closed to them as soon as possible.
Mr.. Cortelyou is now waiting for a
legal opinion from Assistant Attorney
General Goodwin OF the postofiice de-
partment.
President Roosevelt has received a
number of protests from persons who
think that the newspapers printing the
full details of the Thaw case should be
prohibited transmission through the
mails. One of these was a long tele-
gram from n newspaper, the name OF
which was not given out at the White
House.
The recent discussion Of the question
in CANADA, notably in the Canadian
parliament, and the statement Of the
postmaster general at Ottawa, who
was reported to have said that any
newspaper publishing such evidence
as that given in the Thaw case last
Thursday would he guilty of mis-
demeanor under the Canadian law, al
so was brought to the attention Of the
president.

Guiding Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's
narration of her life history to the de-
/ fendant, DR.. Charles G.. Wagner, su-
perintendent of the State Hospital For
the Insane at Binghamton, \. u, de-
ciared on the witness stand that III his
opinion Harry X. Thaw did not know
that the act was wrong when he shot
and killed Stanford White on the roof
Of Madison Square Garden.
DR.. Wagner stepped aside for later
cross examination by District Attorney
| Jerome, and as court adjourned it was
announced that the defense would next
proceed with the testimony of other
alienists.

ton.

completion for the time being of the

by insisting that before she should &c
