Lost on the Ice on Lake Erie.

No landmarks can be seen-there
is nothing by which to direct course.
A man may easily be lost and wander
until overcome. Too often this has
happened. and hardly a winter has
passed without some such disaster.
A man SO lost will often trust to the
instinct of the dogs to find way home
through the bewildering storm and
gloom. Sometimes, however, even the
animals have been at fault. In . re-
cent case Z fisherman with three dogs
was overtaken On the h0meward way
by q sudden tempest Of wind and
snow. To see even = few feet must
have been impossible, and even tbe
dogs must have been overcome with
fright or found that they were unable
to guide themselves in the right diree-
ton. Still, though two were loose,
they did not desert the man When
the searching parties found him on
the following day he was dead, frozen
to death. but the dogs with him were
alive. One dog. which had not been
embarrassed. was mad. however, and
had to be killed at once-George Hib-
bard, in Harper's Magazine.

Richmond's Seven Hills,

Editor OF The Times-Dispatch:
sir,-In Sundays paper, April 14th,
YOU say. in reply to a request to pub
lish the names Of the seven Richmond
hills. that they were Church. Libby,
shockoe, Capitol, Navy, CANDLES. and
Oregon. I think you have made an
error by substituting Libby instead OF
the CITY Council Chamber HILL" which
was one of tho original hills upon
which Richmond was situated. The
hill was n very high ono and bounded
on It's four sides by Franklin, Mayo.
Governor and Broad Streets. and was
the hill from which Captain Mitchell
Captain OF tho James River steamcr)
made the first balloon ascension ever
made in Richmond. When thes hill
was cut down tho dirt was used to
fill in tho large ravine between Church
and Union Hills. Libby Hill was named
when 7 was q boy. after Captain
Libby. who bought a lot and built a
residence for himself, in which he
lived for long time. and for that
reason it took the name of Libby Hill.
The seven hills arc. therefore, ac-
cording to my recollection: Church,
City Council Chamber, Sllockoe, Capt.
toll, Navy. CANDLES and oregon.

DEMAND FOR NEVADA
STOCKS IN THE EAST

1T seems odd. while passing along a
busy New York street, to hear emanat-
ing from an excited mob of several hun
dred s~iik-hatted enthusiasts, a frenzied
demand for Goldfeld stocks" said NJ. B.
O'Farrel of Patrick, Elliott & Camp.
who returned Tuesday morning from the

'Included in the itinerary of my trip
were New York. Philadelphia, Washing
ton, Pittsburg, st. Louis, Detroit and
Buffalo.
Everywhere I was besieged with
queries regarding Nevada. Goldfield
seemed to have the call. but other min
ing camps in the state were inquired
concerning. 1t was amusing and inter
esting to note that these fasteners are
nearly as well posted on the state as we
are ourselves.
LAS soon as the expected rise ir
stocks takes place you will see the
money rolling in from every part of the
east in quantities hitherto unbelievable
