GOLD FROM PLACER MINES.
Wealth of Dust Taken From the
Clutches of Montana.

Wealth of Dust Taken From the
Clutches of Montana.
Several years ago Montanans who
had the gold fever were rushing into
the virgin fields Of the Klondike, un-
der the impression that the showing
there was the greatest ever known.
For two years now this same class of
fortune hunters have been making
their way into Nevada. They are in
clined to forget the magnitude of the
discoveries in Montana in the early
days, says the Dillon Examiner and
the immense quantities of gold taken
out of the bars and the gulches, in
comparison with which anything that
has so far come from Alaska or Neva-
da is insignificant
There were more gulches in Monta-
ma that actually yielded millions than
may ever be discovered again. There
are many single claims that yielded
far greater returns than have been
told by the letters of visitors to the
gold fields of the north or around
Goldfeld and Bullfrog.
The first discovery Of gold in Mon
tana was made in 1861. On Gold
Creek, five miles below the little viii
lage of Pioneer, in Deer Lodge coun-
ty, Gold Tim found placer diggings
where there was gold in paying guam
titles and in the most primitive man.

PRAISES CANAL WORK.
Mr.. Boas Returns From Trip to the
Isthmus.

lsthmus.
Among the passengers arriving to-
day by the steamship Eitel Friedrich
Of the Atlas service was Emil Boas,
resident director of the Hamburg
American line here. Mr.. Boas and
his wife have been making an extend
ed tour of the West Indies and the ca
nal zone. They spent a good deal Of
time on an inspection Of the canal
work, and Mr.. Boas is most enthusi-
astic over the progress being made
and conditions in the canal zone.
II must say the numerous descrip-
tions I have read Of the work so far
accomplished and the illustrations I
have seen had in no way prepared me
for the impression which personal in
spection made" said Mr. Boas ut is
simply overpowering, and after see
ing what has been done, and getting
acquainted with the men who are do
ing it, the conclusion is inevitable
that, whatever the difficulties, they
will be overcome and this stupendous
work brought to completion. There
are people who doubt this, but a per-
sonal inspection will convince any
doubter that the wise forethought
manifest everywhere in the prepara-
tory planning, and the energy and
ability, backed by the means Of a
execution, are sure to bring about the
desired result.
IF you read that in the last six
months million cubic yards of earth
have been removed in a certain place,
it conveys very little meaning to the
ordinary mind, but stand on the
height opposite the location Of the
Gatum dam and have Major Hardy,
in charge there, point out the great
cut in the hill which has been made
in the last half-year and you get an
idea what a million cubic yards OF
earth represents.
Another way OF appreciating
these quantities is to watch the exca-
the side of the hill scooping up earth
or rubble or big stones and dumping
them into a waiting dirt train. 1t
dips, fills, lifts and drops necessarily,
but how long 1t takes to fill a cara
train! Everywhere are eXcavators OF
varied patterns, pneumatic drills and
dirt trains. 1t is a wonderful scene of
industry and activity"
Mr.. Boas said that. the mosquito,
great disseminator of disease in the
canal belt, was practically extinct
through the systematic efforts Of the
American health authorities there.
Great praise is due Col. Gorgas,
the chief sanitary officer of the canal
zone for what he has accomplished,
said Mr.. Boas. He has cleansed and
purified a land that was described In
encyclopedias a year or two ago as
unfit for a man to live in"
Mr.. Boas also praised Col. Goethals,
president of the Isthmian canal COM
mission, who resides at Culebra, and
DR.. Claude c.. Pierce, the quarantine
! officer at Colon.-New York Sun.

SHEFFIELD PLATE.
History Of This Now Very Rare and
Valuable Ware.

VALUABLE
Sheffield plate differs from all other
plated ware in that the plating was
done on the sheet metal before the ar
ticle was shaped. Before and since
then plating Of various sorts has been
applied only to the finished piece, as
i'm our electrOplating process. More
over, the plating was done on copper
while modern base metal Is usually
composed of an amalgam of copper
nickel and zinc.
Furthermore. it is possible for
the collector to secure examples of
early Georgian and so called Queen
Anne work in Sheffield plate. while the
rarity and high money value OF silver
ware Of that period make its acquisi-
ton extremely difficult. Sheffield plate
historically and aristically is as worthy
of q place beside old china and old
mahogany as is old silverware.
In 1742 one Thomas Bolsover of
Sheffield England, described In the
histories as an ingenious mechanic"
accidentally fused some silver and cop
per while repairing knife. He began
experimenting, seeking for a method
of plating copper with silver for the
manufacture of small articles. In
l743 together with Joseph Wilson, he
set up a factory for the manufacture
of buckles. snuffboxes and knife han
dies
Joseph Hancock soon got hold of
the secret and. perfecting it, demon
strated that it was possible to initiate
the finest and most richly embossed
silverware. Settling in Sheffield, he
started the manufacture Of all sorts OF
domestic pieces. Beginning modestly
with horsepower, he later added water
power for the rolling process. Other
manufacturers followed his example
and Sheffield plate soon began to re-
place pewter on the tables Of the Eng
lish middle classes. Altogether we
know of twenty-three important man.
ufacturers Of this ware.
The industry fiourished until the
middle of the nineteenth century, and
so few pieces of copper rolled plate
were made after that time that they
need not concern the collector Elec-
troplating was discovered or invented
by a medical student of Rotterdam
near Sheffield, and the new process
was patented on March 25, 1910. BY
1850 the new ware was on the market
everywhere, and the industry had been
tionized-Country Life in
America.

TICKETS MUST
BE PURCHASED
Otherwise Baltimore and ohio Con
ductors Are Empowered To Col
lect % Cents Extra.

Beginning July passegers running
on trains west of Pittsburg through
Ohio must be supplied with tickets or
pay 10 cents more than regular fare,
according TO a new ruling OF the Ohio
State railway commission. II is In.
tended to save conductors carrying
the large amount of loose change they
have needed in collecting cash fares
ever since the maximum passenger
rate was made two cents mile by
law.
The new law provides that ticket
Offices must be opened not less than
80 minutes before the departure OF
trains. II passenger can show that
the ticket office was not open the full
time It will be unlawful for the con-
ductor to collect the 10 cents.
Following this decision of the com
mission II is likely that some of the
roads gin abolish the position of trav-
cling auditors for passenger trains.

Decides Justice.
HIS COMMITMENT LAWFUL
Application Will BE Made To Have

HIS COMMITMENT LAWFUL

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, May 26.-Har
ry K. Thaw the slayer of Stanford
White, will not be released from the
lunatic asylum. This is the decision
reached by Justice Morschauser, OF
the supreme court in an opinion filed
in the matter of Thaw's application
for release on writ Of habeas
corpus
Both points brought up by Thaw's
attorneys are decided against him
The justice declares that Thaw is now
insane and should not be allowed at
large, and he further declares that the
commitment to the lunatic asylum by
Justice Bowling after the last trial OF
the case was entirely legal.
Thaw's lawyers have applied to the
court for permission to place Thaw in
some other institution than the Mat
teawan asylum, and, by stipulation
with the district attorney, the prison
er will be kept in jail here until Jus.
tice Morschauser renders a decision,
which will probably be next week.
