While he was there several shots were put in and the rock blown out contained a number of seams that were two-thirds gold. MT. Long wished to buy a sample of the ore. but was informed that President Sharpe had given instructions that no further samples should be sold or given away. However, Mir. Long was told that he might look over the dump and choose a specimen from the rock on it. This dump is composed of the ore on either side of the rich seams and is known to carry good gold val ues, and will eventually be worked. but the present owners are too busy working the fabulously rich high grade ore to bother with it. though they have no intention of throwing free gold over the dump. Mir. Long chose a small piece of ore showing no values. but he broke it open and found it contained a fine bunch of free gold Schist bordering the rich seams carries values from $40 to $50. The dump at the Glory hole contains about 100 tons. estimated by reliable mining men to run from S1O0 to Sl.0OO per ton one boulder weighing 100 pounds is valued at S1.O00

fast that has no precise counterpart in

gun until it Is light enough to distinguish
a black hair from a white. he may feast
to surfeiting. Watchmen will patrol the
streets with drums to warn him that his
moments of grace are numbered and can
non once more announce their end
Nothing Is more characteristic or late
afternoons in Ramazan than the prepara-
tions for the evening meal, which pre-
OCCUPY all Moslems. particularly those
who work with their hands. AS the sun

are spread, bread is broken, water is

CHAIR USED BY JOHN ALDEN.
Held as Treasured Heirloom by Bos-
ton Family, Is Well Preserved.


In his Office. at 6s Essex street, William
p. Church has colonial high chair more
than 200 years old that has held several
generations of round-faced youngsters,
all descendants of John Alden of tho
Mayfiower.
Mr.. Church is a direct descendant OF
Alden. The chair was given to him by
his aunt, Mrs. Elizabeth Church Stod-
dard. daughter of Lydia Alden, who mar
ried Gamaliel Church. II am sure that
it belonged to your great-grandfather,"
Mrs. Stoddard told him. 1T may have
belonged to your great-great-grandfa-
ther.''
Mr.. Church feels assured that this chair
was used In the family of the fifth John
Alden, born in 174O, who lived in Middle
boro. 1t may have been handed down to
him by his father. John Alden, born in
Ills, who also lived in Middleboro
The chair bears evidence of its age.
Well 1t may, for the Alden children grew
up very much as children grow up today.
On the arms Of the chair are countless
childish scratches There are also one Or
two generous jabs with a knife or some
other sharp instrument. The hickory foot
rurg Is impressed with the kickings Of
two and possibly three generations OF
chubby feet.
Fashioned in the days when household
furniture was homemade and made for
keeps" this heirloom is an interesting bit
of workmanship. friend Of Mr.. Church
interested in antiques came into his office
TO glance at II one day and found that he
had spent a half hour before he had fin
ished turning 1t over.
There is not a nail in it. The jointings.
which show only fine seam and which
have lasted for centuries, were made with
pegs. The small pieces of wood at the
back of the chair were made from oak
barrel slaves. A piece of homespun linen
duck substantial and woven On an old
time hand loom by the mother or sister
In the family is stretched across the seat
About an inch from the floor were orig
inally four cross-pieces. Evidently the
temptation Of placing ones toes on one
Of these rungs and rocking backward and
forward, irrespective of who happened
to be In the chair, was too much for the
small Aldens. Three of the pieces have
been rocked away. Despite this the old
chair wabbles only slightly.

1t occurs to some Of the party that there
