GOLD NEAR WHITE HOUSE.
Yellow Metal Panned Within Sight Of
Washington Monument.

Gold is mined within sight of Wash
ington monument The heights around
the capital are really part Of the APP
palachian system, and before the out
break of the gold fever in California
all the gold produced in the United
States came out of the Appalachian
mines.
Only the ores that contained free
milling gold could be worked with the
crude processes then known, says the
Technical World. Then. too. because
Of the presence of subterranean
streams, mining could not be done at
any great depth.
Nevertheless gold mines are in prof
table operation today In Maryland and
southwestern Virginia. and these gold
veins, badly broken and disintegrated,
are being worked down through the
Carollnus and into Georgia and Ala
bama.
There is Mt ravino or gwlch in the
environs of Washington city where, il
man dig down TO the gravel and black
sand that lie over bedrock, he cannot
by panning get a color. 1t has not been
found in sufficient quantities TO make
placer mining attractive. though many
men have washed out enough gold to
have ring or charm made.
A few miles west of Washington a
man may see several small mines. some
In operation and some abandoned.
Great areas of gold bearing rock have
been uncovered or blocked out Gold
is obtained, but in many Instances it
has cost more TO extract it than the
gold was worth
At present there is one mine In which
extensive operations are being carried
on. and, though the operators do not
talk for publication, the belief is gen.
eral that they are making good profit
from the mine There are thousands
of tons Of ore in sight, and If you take
a pound of the ore. crush it and wash
ii fair amount Of gold is obtained.
Much OF the ore assays high, but get
ting the yellow stuff out in paying
quantities is the problem.

Selma June 15.--(Special. )--Hon. H. s. D. Mallory, Chairman of the State Democratic Committee. today gave out an interview in which he declared the could only be ma titained by the elee- tion by the Legislature of Hon. John II. Bankhead, as United States Senator, to succeed Senator Morgan.
 The interview was given out in the afternoon after the funeral exercises over the remains of Senator Morgan and It's occasi0 wgs the beilef Of Mr. Nal iory that an attempt mtght De made to reverse the verdict of the primary. en- tered into gooi faith and of which CHp- tain Bankhead won the prize.
 Mir. Mallory said: .%
 ''Th6 State Democratic Executive Committee directed the plan for the nomination of Alternates United States Senators The people fell in with that idea Several distinguished gentlemen offered themselves.

Mir Bankhead led the candi- dates and he Is entitled to his victory.
 If party law means anything 1t means that MT. Bankhead is the nomi- nee to succeed Senator Morgan. What concerned the party then concerns it now. Mir. Bankhead has done nothing to forfeit the confidence of his people
 He went in good faith before the peo. pie. with other distinguished citizens in q contest for that honor. If party law is to be considered. and I am not insisting that 1t be considered to the exclusion of all else, Mr. Bankhead is entitled to the victory he won before the people. I should think that the gentlemen who. with him went into the primary and won their victory as he l.4- X-N. T expressed. It is argued that the Dem ocratic convention formed upon the plan and in effect declared 1t had no binding effect upon the Legislature. As to the right of tho convention to adopt such a resolution I have nothing to say.

By force of merit he rap idly rose to the command of brigade, and as such commander rendering most efficient service to the cause he loved so well
