GOLD MINING NEAR HOME.
Mountains Near Washington All Have
Some Precious Ores.

Gold is mined within sight OF Wash
ington monument. The heights around
the capital are a part of the Appa-
lachian 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. Then,
too, because of the presence of subter-
ranean streams, mining could not be
done at any great depth.
Nevertheless, gold mines are in
profitable operation to-day in Mary
land and southwestern Virginia, and
these gold veins, badly broken and
disintegrated, are being worked down
through the Carolinas and into Geor-
gia and Alabama.
There is not a ravine or gulch 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 sufi-
cient quantities to make placer mining
attractive, though many men have
washed out enough gold to have a
ring or charm made.
A few miles west of Washington a
man may see several small mines.
some In operation and some aban-
doned. Great areas of bearing
rock have been uncovered or blocked
out Gold is obtained, but in many
instances it has cost more to extract
1t 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 general that they are making a
good profit from the mine.-Technical

WHY MARK DIDN'T TALK.

is radiant, sunny spirit which knows
how to bear little trials and enjoy lit

CARNEGIE WE'LL AND HAPPY.
Gives Rule For Happiness On His
Seventieth Birthday.

= New York, Nov. 2S.-Hale and
hearty in spite Of his 70 years, An
drew Carnegie. standing beside a table
piled with messages Of congratulatiou
on his birthday. gave a rule for hap
piness. The rule was this:
ITO obey the Judge within and
make others happy.
IF the Judge within gives you q
clean verdict, we have no other Judge
TO fear here or hereafter.
But after satisfying that Judge
above all else, the way to be happy
Is to make others happy"
Can man accomplish as much a,
20 as at 40?" he was asked.
More, bless you, more" replied
MIR. Carnegie. "All things being aqual
mans efficiency is increased at 20.
He is equipped with greater expert

and 1T follows that the men in it grow
better as they grow old.
II have here on my wall. two rules
which young men should bear in

mblazoned in letters Of gilt:
Thine own reprOach alone do fear.
"All Is we'll since all grows better"
Mr.. Carnegie was asked: "When is
mans usefulness ripest?"
when he has attained to the high
est degree Of perfection to which he is
capable" was the reply. "This means
that II he conserves his physical and
mental powers he will be ripest when
he has attained long life. At 10 I am
convinced that mans usefulness in
creases with age. Kindliness between
man and man is showing a broaden
ing tendency. 1t undoubtedly is not
given to man to explain why sickness
and poverty and sin are necessary in
his order OF things. 1t has not been
