and Miss Leach believed him.
When he went to prison she promised
him that she would wait, and that when
he was free she would become his wife.
Maher had been connected with his ia
ther in the firm Of Cornelius Mahef &
Son. His arrest, trial and conviction
caused one Of Worcester's greatest sen.
sations.
Efforts were made to have MalNr par
doned and finally, on July last, he was
released from prison after serving for
thirty seven months Now comes the an
nouncement that Miss Leach still be.

time for his discharge, 50 the first petit
ton had to be substituted by another

many rich veins of quartz have been dis
covered on an island As miles from
SitlSa, hundreds Of adventurers and
miners are travelling to Alaska in the
hope that the wheel Of fortune may
turn in their favor.
These stories Of fabulous deposits
of gold have been partially confirmed
by Brig. Gen George f. Elliot, COM
mandant of the United States marine
corps, who has Just returned from an
inspection tour in the northwest. He
says that the new finds yield heavy
percentage Of gold, and that active pre-
parations are being made for the de-
yelopment of the mines.
The story of the discovery as told
by Gen. Elliot is that two Indians while
fishing noticed particles Of gold and
told the news to a Presbyterian clergy
man at Sitka. Soon after a company
was organized, the new veins were
opened and 90 tons of ore was trans.
ported to Sitka in canoes This one
shipment yielded, after payment Of the
| freight, more than $4,000
| In Sitka the knowledge Of the great
find soon became known and the island
is now practically oil staked out BY
gold seekers, The size Of claim il
this region is 1900 feet in length ant
