track near Elko and also brought in.
It is thought he died as the result OF
injuries received in escaping the fire.

Lumber company, hir wife and thirty

hundreds of squatters- No tidings Of
any of these men have been received
in Cranbrook. The dozens OF lumber
mills scattered through the country
and the millions of feet OF cut timber
stored near them are known to have
been destroyed. The loss OF standing
timber through the fires will be enor-
nous.

The Hoard of Precious Metal That IL
Secreted IN India.

The Hoard of Precious Metal That Is
Secrcted IN India.
It would be an immense benefit to all
mankind if the stores of gold held by
individuals in India could be made
available for general use Ever since
the dawn of history that country has
been gathering gold and hiding it away.
Treasures of almost incalculabl value
are possessed by many Indian princes.
When the maharajah Of Burdwan died
the stock of gold and silver left by him
was so large that no member Of the
family could make an accurate esti-
mate Of 1t. A report made to the Brit
ish government by a secret agent stat
ed that on the estate Of the defunct po-
tentate were number of treasure
houses, one Of them containing three
rooms. The largest Of these three
rooms was forty-eight feet long and
was filled with ornaments Of gold and
silver, plates and cups, washing bowls.
jugs and so forth-all of precious met
ais. The other two rooms were full OF
bags and boxes of gold mohurs and
silver rupees. The door of this and

up for nobody knows how long.
These valuables, according to an an
cient custom, were in the custody OF
the maharajahs wife, the vaults being
attached to her apartments, but none
of them was allowed to be opened save
in the presence of the master. One
vault was filled with ornaments belong
ing to different gods of the family. The
natives Of India commonly bury their
boards, and among the poorer classes
a favorite hiding place is a hole dug
beneath the bed. Disused wells are
sometimes employed for the same pur-
pose. 1t Is undoubtedly a fact that
very many boards thus deposited are
lost forever. Gold Is also valued on re-
ligious grounds. The gods take up
great quantities Of gold, silver and
precious stones. The temples contain
vast amounts of the yellow and white
metals. The habit of boarding seems
to have been induced by ages of mis-
government, during which oppression
and violence were rife. No feeling of
safety existing, it was natural that the
natives should adopt the practice of re-
ducing their wealth to a concentrated
shape and hiding it.-Brooklyn Eagle.

interest when men like Hartman and
J. J. Hill are uniting the railroads for
their own personal gain and the gov
eminent should interfere for the good
of the common lot of people.
The question is how long will ii be
before the trusts will own the whole
country. Facts show that 81 per cent
of 1900 families had 5000 or less
invested in different business and fail
ed. This shows that the richer are
swallowing up the middle class. The
cause of the suffering of society is be-
caues men will not work and save
their money. IL they did it would
take 100000 a day out Of ciroula-
ton and there would be one of
the greatest panics that this land has
ever witnessed. We want socialism,
says the socialist, land then all these
evils would be stopped"
Richmond Jared much better in the
recent financial panic than did most
other cities. The socialist says, there
will be a panic when there is an over
production and the capitalist an
swers the question by saying there is
an underconsumption. Where is the
money? Morgan and the others have
it. Where did they get It? "Oh, just
picked it up" is the way these ques-
lions are answered by many.
According to the statement made by
Senator DePew, there are ten men in
New York who can close every rail-
road. iron and steel factory and al
most every other concern, and vput ev-

The government is learning how to
do things and that there are larger
advances needed and things done for
the future good of the people. The
most fruitful thing is to give this great
question thought and think how is the
best way out of the wilderness and
follow honestly what you think best
