Largest Nuggets in the World

rested by yellow rock projecting few inches above the soil. In the excitement of his discovery he ran to fetch his master. The rock was unearthed, and proved to be a mug get of two hundred weight, from which one hundred and sixty pounds of pure gold was extracted.
 A few years later another monster nugget made its appearance at Balla- rat. A party of miners had worked a claim to a depth of sixty yards when one of them struck with his pickaxe hard, irregularly shaped mass. which on being unearthed proved to be a block of almost pure gold, twenty inches long, twelve in ches wide and seven inches deep Its weight was almost a hundred weight and a quarter, and it's value was s46,625.
 It was the periodical discovery at Ballarat of these monster nuggets which first fired the blood of the entire world in the far away 50s and made even prosaic Yorkshire farm CTS dream nightly of gold. But even Ballarat has no other romance to rival that of the discovery of two huge mug gets within a few days in the same claim. The story runs that four miners had worked their claim down to a depth of about sixty feet when one of them brought to light mug get weighing nearly hundredweight, and worth $27,500. In their joy at such a rich treasure trove the men abandoned the diggings ano took their nugget back with them to Eng land. They had scarcely left Balla- rat when their successors in the claim, with almost the first stroke of a pick, turned over another mug get, heavier than the first, and val ued at more than S35,OO0.

MENT ON. BONANZA

A great deal of development work is going on at the Bonanza mine. in the Copper River country, says the Cordova Alaskan New and per manent quarters are being built for the workmen. Buildings for the con. tractor and power plant are also be ing erected The mines will be ready for the machinery before the close of the season, although the machin- cry will not be taken in until next spring A tramway 15.000 feet long is being operated satisfactorily, being used to send down ore as lumber and supplies are being taken up to the mine There is a difference of 4,000 feet in altitude between the loading and discharging terminal of the tram way.
 A number of new stopes are being opened up. There are more than 1900 feet of drifts and cross-cuts with 200 feet of raises and winzes.
 ADOuI 0o men are at present "OIh- ing at the mine, which number will be largely increased next season
 The ore is copper glance and chal- cocite. and the main body runs from 50 to 60 per cent. in copper, and from the great quantities there are of it it is believed that the Bonanza will prove one of the wonder mines of the world.

New Tribe of Pygmies Found

pending for their living entirely on their skill in hunting and fishing. Their chief weapon is the bow, their arrows being generally poisoned eith- CT with the famous "upas" or some other similar vegetable poison, in some cases a species of strychnine. They also make use of the spear and an ingenious form of a spring gun which is common to numerous forest tribes. This is formed by setting flattened bamboo spear at tached to a bent sapling which is fastened to a trigger in such way that it is released by the pass er-by stumbling against an invisible string stretched across a game-track. These spears are really set for game and to the initiated they are obvious enough as their presence is always
 indicated by certain well-known signs, such as a broken off twig placed in a cleft stick. In war these signs are removed, the removal be- ing equivalent to the moving of buoys in mined channel. The wounds inflicted by these hardened bamboo spears are necessarily seri- ous. The mental qualities Of the Negritos are extremely undeveloped, none of them being able to express higher numerical idea than three, but all observers who have met them unite in saying that they are mer- ry little people, with great ideas of hospitality when their confidence has been gained and provided they have not been previously ill-treated They are not cannibals, and are gen erally homogeneous
 No one who has ever seen a Ne grito can fail to recognize his char acteristic, which are extremely mark ed for besides the features already noted, his cranial characters are un- mistakable as compared with the Melanesian, the one being round headed while the other is long
 neaded. Another marked difference is their type of house, which is al ways placed on the ground, and is merely a lean to" or wind screen, very different from the Papuan huts, which are always raised on piles and frequently communal. London | Times.

For myself, I vertically believe that We are upon the eve of a new era of political liberty, when more liter ally and truly than ever before We can realize the ideals of popular government and of individual priv ilege, the dawn of an age in which the pristine vigor of America may be renewed amidst fresh achieve ments for humanity. If the Demo cratic party sees this opportunity and takes advantage of it without selfishness, with patriotic enthusi- asm, with an ardor for the things a new age is to bring forth. it will win not mere party success, but a glory which it will itself be glad to see merged and identified with the glory of the nation itself Harper's Weekly.

Among the thousands who flocked to the Victorian goldfields in the early sos were two Cornish miners. John Deason and Richard Oates. who staked out a claim near the village vigor. confident that within a few months they would be able to re tire to their native Cornwall rich men; but their expectations were doomed to cruel disappointment. Not only months, but many years pass ed and found them still as far re- moved from fortune as at the be- ginning, and by 1869, fifteen years after they began their search for gold. they were reduced to the last straits. Starvation stared them in the face, and the crowning misfortune came when local storekeeper re fused to supply Deason with a little flour until he produced the money for it.
 In despair the miner seized his pick and wandered away to the out skirts of the gold field, and as he wandered downcast and heavy heart ed, he noticed gleam of yellow in a rut made by peddler's cart. Lift ing his pick. with a few frantic blows he brought to light an enormous mug get which, with all his strength, ne could hardly raise an inch from the ground. The nugEct, which was soon hnown the world over as the 'Wel- come Stranger" actually weighed two hundred weight, and it was sold for nearly $50,OOO.
 And these were but few of the many similar blocks of gold discov- cred in Australia under equally dra- matic circumstances. While native shepherd named Kerr was tending sheep one day his attention was ar.

The expedition sent by the com mittee appointed by the British Orni- biologists Union to explore the great snow mountains in Dutch New Gu inca has now reached the field of it's
 inquiries; and the news has just been received that it has already made a discovery that should prove of remarkable interest. At an ele- vation of about 1000 feet they have come across a tribe of pygmy peo- pie. the average height of whom is about feet 3 inches, and though at present no definite details have
 been received, there can be little doubt that they belong to that divis-
 ion of the human race known as the
 Negritos.
 Hitherto these people have only
 been known to inhabit three widely separated areas-viz., the Andaman
 Islands, ill the Bay of Bengal, the northern portion of the Malay Penin- sula, where they are known as Se- mangs, and certain areas in the Phil ippine Islands, in particular the nor thern Island of LuZon. In all these districts the characteristics of this race are astonishingly uniform, prac- tically no adult over , feet in
 height being met with, while the women rarely exceed 4 feet. The main features of this marked type of the human race, apart from their
 small size, is the very dark color of their skin Approaching, as one ob- server has remarked, the color of a newly blackleaded stove), the eX' tremely broad nose, the breadth be- ing about equal to the height, and the frizzly hair, which grows in iso- lated "peppercorn" tufts all over the scalp. They are in no sense dwarfs, | but convey rather the impression of small but otherwise well-deVel-
 oped men. Slight differences exist as regards the proportion of the limbs as compared with Europeans,
 the arms being relatively longer, but this feature is not nearly so marked as in the case of the Central Afrl-
 can pygmies.

John c. Spooner, former United States senator from Wisconsin, and life long Republican, has been crit icizing the Taft administration. He declaled that the Republican party as represented by some of the stand patters is in it's decline.
 Mr. StuCner con;en1..d that q small minority is in control of the Republican, party at Washington, such as AldIich, Payne, Cannon, etc. and that the people would not longer stand for their arbitrory rule He said that the insurgents repre- sented the true Republican princi- ples and that the efforts of the min Ority members to use the machl' to crush them would practically eliminate party lines in the next congress. He said it was certain that the Republican machihe would l"se control, as the peo ie would re turn enonsh IL surgentS and Demo crats to rebuke the machine.
