Tales of q rich lost mine in a por
tion of the district formerly part of
shoshone county drew two Spokane
residents to Wallace this week in
search of the lost treasure. They came
to inspect the county records here be-
their quest, The story they told was
that they had been informed of a
quartz ledge wonderfully rich in gold
that had been located in the Pierce
City district in the early days of the
camp Soon after it's discovery the
man who located it was called sud
denly to California, where he was
taken sick and died. Being informed
that death was approaching, he told
his relatives of his rich discovery and
to the best of his ability informed
them how they could reach it. Before
he could give them complete drec-
tions as to how to reach the place he
lapsed into unconsciousness, taking
the secret with him. When he went
to California he carried With him
samples of the rock that We're simply
alive with gold. Some of the large
pieces We're nearly pure gold. 1t is
believed the ledge he uncovered was
the source of the placer gold found
around Pierce City. The Spokane men
intend to spend the summer in the
search.

A good sized audience assembled at the library lecture room last evening to listen to a lecture by Prof. Britton, of New Haven. upon the care and pre- servation of the shade trees of the town. It was profusely illustrated wi h lantern slides A few of those present included MT. and Mrs. Huntington, pr. Donaldson. MT. John Mills. Rev. Dr. Child, Rev.

Benjamin provement society. in introducing Prof. Britton spoke of a trip he had made into some of the far western states, and through some of the Southern states. where he saw villages and large towns without a single tree, and how glad he was to get back to the New England paradise of Fairfield with it's beautiful trees. it's we'll kept lawns. its neat sidewalks. etc.
 Prof. Britton agreed with MT. Betts that shade trees add rtuch to the beauty and value of a village and its homes. He said that a census had been taken of the shade trees of Hartford and it was found that city has over 7,Q00 which are estimated to be worth $15 each. He thought this too low an estimate. and asked what would Hart ford be without it's trees. He said there are over 17.O00 trees in New Ha- ven which he considered to be worth one million of dollars. He threw upon the screen a picture of Temple street as it was 40 years ago. when it was lined with magnificent elms which made a perfect gothic arch the whole length of the street, and then gave a picture as the street Is to-day. robbed of it's beauty and almost bare of trees. He said the people of that city are waking up to the necessity of do ,ng something to preserve the anc ent beauty and renown of the town as the Elm City. He then went into the diff ferent causes which destroy trees. showing how they are improperly pruned: how the leakage from gas mains; the cutting and nuti1a ting by telephone and telegraph companies. and the injury to the bark by horses. all help to ruin trees. He stated that 33 per cent. of the trees in New Haven had been injured by horses Enawing the bark. and said there is a law tn It if any one leaves a horse where he can iniure a shade tree. he is subject to a fine of not less than $5; but, he added. the law is not enforced and the policeman never sees an injury done by horse-
