 Nugget donations will be received at the office of the treasurer in the Globe building, where any person bringing in donations of gold will re- ceive receipts properly signed to in dicate that he or she is a contributor to the exposition gold fund. ExpOsi. ton officials do not anticipate that it will require very much publicity to receive contributions in gold ,suffi- cient to cover the monument and now it is almost assured that the Alaska. Yukon-Paclfic exposition monument will be of gold, highly appropriate in. asmuch as the exposition IS to exploit Alaska with it's gold fields, forests, fisheries, mines and the general pos. abilities of this vast district.

UNIQUE DISTINCTION.

Paradise, Coles County, Illinois. . village of 25O inhabitants. has many distinctions. chlefest of which is the fact that in proportion to it's popula- tion it furnished more cOlonels to the Federal army than any other place. no less than six being credited to the village. One of these, Colonel True, was later a Brigadler-General. The others were Col. R. H. McFad- den. who commanded the Fifty-third Illinois: Col. Monroe, of the One Hundred and Thlrty.third Illinois, who fell during one of the skirmishes with Gen. Wheeler; Col. S. Chapman, who led the Fitty.fourth Illinois. and Col. Mitchell, who afterward com handed the same regiment, and Col. Buclner. who commanded the Seven ty.eighth Illinois. In addition. Col. Coter. who resided at Paradise when the war broke out, but left there to take command of one of the Ken lucky regiments in the Confederate army. is numbered among the brave soldiers contributed by this little country village. The remarkable fea. lures of this contribution to the com missioned forces Of the armies is the fact that Paradise is. as stated. a village Of but two hundred and fifty souls, and it has not increased In population since the war.
 Paradise is without railroad com rqunicatiop with the outside world, and can point to stage line as its only means of passenger transpOrta- ton. Indeed it is the same village today as it was when the news came that Fort Sumter had been fired upon Grown rlfls older and a

GOLD IN THE PHILIPPINES,

Gold Is easily the first in import ance of the metallic mineral re- sources of the Philippines. It has been sought for and found in most of the provinces of the archipelago, but of them all the provinces of Ben guet. Masbate and AmbOs Camar- ines are rivals for the place in the metal output and in general mining activity.
 Numerous claims have been located in these provinces. and according to the report of the bureau of science at Manila several corporations have lately been organized to develop and operate a number of the most lmpor' taut groups.
 The success Of some of the com ganies which have entered the field is yet in doubt, while that of others. to judge from their continuous opera ton and constant output. might nat. urally be considered assured. There are other corporations which have not yet attempted to break into the producer class, but have exerted their energies toward developing their properties and in blocking out ore.
 The most interesting and probably most important of the recent diseOg' cries Of gold was made in the suyOc region Of Southern Lepanto, where the Igorots have been working and washing gold by the most primitive methods for a hundred years or more. Many years ago they were driven out of their rich diggings by water. as because of the topography Of the country they could not work these places by their usual booming method,
 An American prospector by means of a drainage tunnel has recently re- move the water from one of these flooded workings and found the rich est ore which tradition reported to be present A silvery white mineral since identified as calsverlte, was oO, served in association with the free gold. this being the first authentic report Of the occurrence of telluride of gold in the Philippines. No report as to the extent of the deposit or the average assay value of the ore has yet been made.-New York Sun.

HAMMERED FROM
 PURE G0LD

The Alaska.YukOn.Pacific monu. ment-to be the crowning work of sculpture of next years international exhibition. will be covered with solid gold leaf. Gold donations to the amount of $7,OOO, necessary to com pletely cover the great shaft with the shining metal, will be solicited from Alaskans, Yukouers and the people of Seattle,
 An appropriation to cover the cost of building the monument in staff nas been authorized, the drawings made and the sculptor is engaged in building his clay model, The monu- ment is to stand in the center of the plaza in front of the magnificent group of United States government buildings, and directly at the head of the Cascades.
 The exposition monument is to be more than seventy feet in height, The monument proper will stand on a pedestal twenty feet high. This column will be of Corinthian design on the top of which will be a globe giving the signs of the zodiac. On top of this globe will be a huge Am ericau eagle with outstretched wings as in flight. Grouped about the base of this monument will be three seated female figares symbolIcal of the Northland. the South seas and the Orient. Every loot of this great monument win have the appearance of having been hammered out oi pure gold If the donations are suffi, cient to complete the undertaking.
 While several well known Alaskans who have just returned to Seattle from the northern mining camps have assured exposition officials they ap prove of the idea to cover the lnonu ment with gold and will make liberal donations. the management of the 1909 enterprise is desirous that every person in Seattle donate a small piece of gold and a plan has been suggested that has met with general approval.
 In the early days of the Klondike rush thousands of gold nuggets, large and small, were made into scarf pins chains, bracelets, lockets, etc. The nugget fad spread all over the coun' try, and today nugget iewelry is found in almost every iewelry store in the United States.
 In Seattle and the state of Wash,  ington there is no doubt thousands of dollars worth of discarded nugget jewelry and any person in the city having an article of jewelry contain. ing one or more nuggets will have a

Richer Blues IN Inland Sea
Than In Famed Bay of Naples

A beautiful new automobile course
has Just been prospected by Secy.
Jennings of the Automobile club, and
it is designed to carry the Salt Lake
touring man into the rich districts of
Tooele county.
II tell you" he said last night,
speaking with enthusiasm of the
scenery encountered, that the bay of
Naples itself has no richer and deeper
blues than our own Great Salt Lake,

tinontal tourists would go many miles

The tour to which Mr. Jennings in
Vitcs the attention Of all men who
love an evenings outing, Is to Grants
Vile and return. It runs over "A route

with the Tooele county commissioners
to have them look into this bad strip
OF country, and have IT repaired. If
only this one place were fixed up, the

sired From Lake point the main
road is to be followed towards Tooele
