To- as ii was called by the miners
of the Latin races. The finer of the
gold dust resembled black iron sand
while the nuggets and slugs were jet
black from a film of tellurium and other
gaseous elements.
For many years drift mining has
been engaged in on the northern and
western hanks of Blue Nose mountain
and it has been determined that there
is two and probably three channels of
ancient dead rivers in the mountain
partly lava capped and partly exposed.
One company of townsville miners has
run a tunnel $500 feet long on one of
the channels and individuals, operating
on the northwest base Of the mountain
have shown the daylight" deposits
there also to be auriferous, slugs of
gold having been recovered, amid the
dust and smaller nuggets ranging in
value of from $50 to s400 They were
mostly of rough crystallized gold. and
showed that they were of quartziferous
origin. Hence the now organized sys-
tematic development of the veins and

That Ell Dorado's storied wealth in
gold still is far from exhausted and

was running free, almost as water, is
predicted by those who have watched
the developments on the Rising Hope

that the expenditure of time and money
would bring forth abundant. results.
Never has a mine shown richer promise
than the Rising Hope. which had been

SPIRIT OF CONFIDENCE.

II must be admitted that these
things are as yet merely germs and
forecasts. Municipal statistics. after
all. is only an infant science. City
plans exist chiefly az fascinating
sketches In the studios of ambitious
architects. with an occasional emer.
gence into public view at civic ex.
positions. Non-p -partisanshlp is still
looked at with suspicion by the old
gaurd of loyal party voters, But they
all have truth in their favor. and IL
there is any virtue In the adage.
they must prevail In the end Time
is on their side; the tide Is already
running with them. Hence a certain
spirit OF confidence is in the air
which the early reform movement did
not have, and with this confidence a
charity which the early reformers
conspicuously lacked. A fuller know.
ledge of the compleXity of the prob
lens and of certain paradoxical at
tributes of human nature itself has
tempered their original acimony and
arrogance. Thus the people have
managed to educate their self-appolnt
ed educators. with mutual profit ana
n general promotion OF the spirit OF
true democracy-Hon. John ]. Fitz-
gerald In Norman p. Macks National

ICE CREAM CONES
CONTAIN B0RAX

WASHINGTON. July 20.-Prosecu-
ton against manufacturers OF ice
cream cones containing borax are TO
be instituted by the government un-
der the pure food law. Large SELF
ures of cones were made recently
In different parts of the country by
Inspectors of the department of agri-
culture. Analysis of the cones seiZ-
ed disclosed the presence of borax,
a property which has beon held to
be deleterous to the human stomach.
The cones. by chemical test were
found TO contain also sachraine aud
benzoate of soda. but 1t was said at
the department today that proposed
prosecutions would be based solely
on the presence Of borax, Inasmuch
as sacharine still was under investi.
cation and benzoate of soda has been
held harmless when used In small
quantities
Inspectors will continue to make
seizures where cones are found con-
taining boraX. Manufacturers using
borax contend this ingredient Is nee
essary to make the cones hold their
shape.
