things would be strict: so he didn't
try to hide anything. The trip be-
fore that he had carried three hats
and undred cigars on tie ship IN
his spring overcoat, which hung over
his arm. Lucky he didn't try 1t this
time.
"Hello, there, C. @. D. Binns!'
called out an innocent looking man
on the dock. "Come over here I got
something for you.''
"The wireless operator with the
brazen shapeless panama walked over
to where the man stood and asked
what was going on.
"'Nice hat you have said the
mysterious stranger. want to sell
it?'
"Tne operator scented mouse and
replied it was not for sale. 1t was
his own personal property.
'Well,' said the man, in that
case I guess it's all right. Only that
hat is worth $35, if it is worth a
cent, and somehow it don't just coin
eide with your $50 a month job. OF
course, you've got a perfect right to
wear it. Only I'll be here when you
come back, and if I were you Ia
keep on wearing it. Don't leave 1t
anywhere. I like your face, young
man, so I'm giving you fatherly ad-
vice.
1.-THE upshot of it was that the op-
orator came back on board and put
away the hat in nice solid drawer
and the man with the fatherly advice
came along with him and covered the
drawer with lead seals.

Life In Minino Towns.

Dr. W. X. Robinson. formerly q
prominent and popular Baltimorean.
but for the past three years q resident
Of Goldfeld, New, told some interesting
facts about his adopted home to Bal.
timore American reporter.
Compared with Baltimore" said he.
"the mining towns Of Nevada are very
shy Of the comforts and pleasures Of
existence, but they have an attraction
Of their own, and really enjoy living
out there. Goldfield Is a place Of at
least $4,000 people. It Is a wide open
town. Gambling goes on day and night
and the saloons are never closed.
This does not mean that It Is given up
to disorder and violence. On the con-
trary, serious crime Is rare, and what
racket is kicked up is the work Of
young eastern chaps. who think they
must cavort and raise Cain to make
the natives regard them with respect.
while the cost Of living Is pretty
high, there has been a great decline
since the earliest days Of the camp.
One can now rent very comfortable
house for $75 to $40 month. No
Chihamen or Japs are allowed In Cold
field, and a strong Irish woman who
can do all the cooking and other family
work can often get 500 a month. We
sigh for the soft-shell crabs Of the
chesapeake and the other glorious sea
food, but our beef and vegetables
brought in from California are just az
good as you can get in Baltimore.
"Goidfeld is today In better shape
than it ever was. Everything Is on q
solid basis. Speculation in wildcat
properties has ce .sed. Labor. like
snelter charges and railroad rates, has
dropped to a figure where the mine
,wners can pay and get their profits.
Some Of the biggest mines are not In
operation, but that is only temporary
condition. The treasury shipments Of
ere ort of Goldfeld are not less than
s75O.a00 a month. Inside Of two years
I believe the camp will show an an
,~al output Of not less than sa6..

INTERESTING COUNTRY.

Panama, outside ofthe canal. is an

Charles NJ. Brown, an employe Of the
United States government at Ancon,
to q Washington Post reporter. Re
Gently I spent several weeks In the
province Of Chirique, populated almost
entirely by Indians. One Of the most
interesting diversions Of foreigners
who visit that province is the digging
up Of Indian graves. which are found
in great numbers in some parts Of the
province. The richest are found In
Bugaba, about twenty miles from Da-
vid. the capital.
I'm these graves can be found pieces
Of clay pottery, some decorated and
;ome plain. Often clay forms repre-
senting animals Indigenous to the
country are found, such as tapirs.
panthers. rabbits. foxes. etc. But the
most valuable are gold images and
figures Of men and women. eagles. tur-
ties, spiders, snakes. plates and tubes
made of pure gold. While in Chiriqui
/ obtained number Of these 'huacitas,'
as they are called. These graves are
usually found by prcdding the ground
with the point Of a machete.
About foot under the surface II
a large slab, under which are many
river stones, and some four feet farther
down another slab. At the head and
foot are two 'pilones,' or upright rec
tangular stones, and In the intervening
space is pottery. The gold pieces are
usually found In the bottom Of the
grave, placed as though they had been
held In the hands or laid on the breast
of a body. Sometimes they are dis
covered in a Jar, and on several oc.
casions found them beneath the low.
er slab.
IAN Englishman In Boquete recently
dug up a grave in which he found
more than $4,000 worth Of pure gold.
The Indians looks with displeasure on
this desecration Of the remains Of
their ancestors, and usually decline to.
assist In the work, but secured the
services Of an old Indian woman and
six of her daughters in the excavation
Of grave.
"Odd inscriptions are to be seen on
'arge rocks all over the province, and
the inscriptions, according to the In
dians, indicate the burying places Of
their 'caciques,' or chiefs. The Indians
claim that there are great deposits Of
gold still to be found on the slopes Of
the Volcan, the only volcano in Pana-
ma, whose crater rises 1o,7oo feet above
the sea. Gold Is also found in the
beds of the rivers that flow down from
this huge crater"

1T Is in improvements which are
bound to benefit Porto Rico In ma
terial sense that great progress has
been made since the island has come
under American sway. Spain In her
possession OF the island, for more
than 400 years, spent something like
$3,000,O00 on roads. she built one
great road across the island. This is
about all that was done in making Of
public highways. The Americans
have brought about greater prog
ress along these lines, as well as a.ong
AL other lines Of public improve
ment.
"over $5.oo0.000 have been spent ,
in the last ten years on roads. Rail-S
roads are being built all over the Is
land, and there Is not town In Porto
Rico that Is not fitted out and sup.

aqueducts to insure supply Of fresh
water. Three million dollars have
been appropriated for irrigation pur-
