No other individual object in the mu-
scum attracts greater interest than what
is known as 'the Jerusaleum stone,
found among the ruins of the Temple OF
Solomon, with it's face downward, which
protected it from destruction.
This stone bears an inscription IN
Greek forbidding gentiles to pass within
the boundary walls of the temple under
the penalty of death. 1t was intended for
the Greeks and Arabian money changers
whom our Lord drove out OF the temple:

Collection of Sarcophagi.
Perhaps the most remarkable of all

There are seven monumental works in

design and execution are beyond COM

CONTENTS OF NEW BUILDING

BY WILLIAM f. CURTIS.
Special Correspondence Of The Star and the
Chicago Record Herald.
CONSTANTINOPLE, August %. 1910.
Constantinople now has one Of the finest
museums in the world.
IT is not so large as many or perhaps
any of those of other Europeans capitals,
but most of its contents are unique.
1t contains, for example, the incom-
parable collection made by DR.. Schlei-
mann during his excavations Of the ruins
Of Troy. 1t contains the results of the
excavations made by American archeolo-
gists at Babylon and other ruins In AS
syria and Mesopotamia.
1t contains a collection of gold orna-
ments and objects of use that were buried
under the earth for six thousand years.
1t has the finest collection of ancient
sarcophagi in existence, and other objects
of equal historical and archaeological
value and interest.
Hamdi Bey, who has been In charge of
the antiquities of Turkey for twenty
eight years. and who built the museum
after a struggle that was remarkable for
its insistence and determination, lived to
see 1t completed and opened to the public
last October. He installed most of the
treasures himself.
Every object which it contains and
every stone in the walls of the building
was as precious to him as if Of his own
creation. 1t seems to me that his death
must have been due as much to joy and
qualification at his triumph as to the dis
ease which the doctors said carried him
off. 1t was a case Of "nunc dimittis.'
He has been succeeded by his brother,
Hallil Bey, for eighteen years his SYM
pathetic and loyal assistant, now recog-
nized as the highest authority in archie
ology in the east.

shares is the least amount sold, and
this will give the purchaser 100
shares in each of the ten mines for
$125. If one of these mines after
development is found to be a gold
producer your shares may be worth
many thousand dollars.
In all investments we cannot be
positive that the result is a certainty
Crops are planted, and the result is
dependent upon rain; we purchase
lands, and they may depreciate or
advance; mercantile business may
prove failure and banks may break,
but as to all enterprises we must take
some chance of failure, The mini
mum risk is gold-mining, as statis-
tics prove.
In this Kimberly gold mine prOpO-
siti0n we have the best prospects of
wonderful success since the Cal
fornia discoveries in 1849 Stock in
a proven and in a developed mine
cannot and will not be offered for
sale at low prices.
The owners of Kimberly and the
Mining Company believe that the
mines owned by them have great
quantities of gold, and that it only
awaits development. The evidences
of gold are everywhere to be seen.
1t is found over the area of eight
square miles or more, in the rocks
and in the soil.
You who desire information could
get it from many sources. But l
will furnish you with the testimony
of one of your own citizens, as 1t
were, who has been recently on the
spot, and inspected the properties;

Mr.. Jno r. Irwin, Dawson, Ca
Dear Sir: Replying to your favor
of the 25th, will state that l have
just returned from visit to Kim
berry, and l am highly pleased with
my trip. AS to the developments
there, | will say that l visited about
twenty-five tunnels and shafts, some
tunnels being driven back about 500
feet In all of them l found gold
ore in paying quantities. The assay
ran from $50 to $4,000 per ton
They control some property that a
sample assayed 100000 dollars per
ton, but you know that is a very
rare thing to find gold in such large
paying quantities.
I would estimate as a conservative
value of their holdings upon upon
which they predicate the bond issue
at ten million dollars.
1t appears from all indications
that the whole mountain will pan out
gold in large quantities. for it will
pan on the surface, and it appears in

KILLING IN BAKER COUNTY.
Fell Out About Weight of Corn at
Ivey's Mill.

The Calhoun County Courier tells
of an ARRAY at Ivey's mill, in Baker
county, in which Alex Hayes, son of
VIM. Hayes, shot and instantly killed
George Martin, a negro.
Young Hayes, according to infor-
nation, went to the mill, with corn
to exchange for meal, and the negro,
who was tending the mill, was said
to be drinking at the time and in an
insulting mood He asked Hayes to
weigh the corn, which he did, but
the negro disputed the weight. The
dispute led to a fuss and the negro
attempted to cut Hayes, when the
latter pulled his gun and shot the
negro in the forehead, killing him
instantly. Hayes was given COM
mitment trial Monday, and the court
decided the killing was in self de-

THE CHANGE OF YOUR LIFE
Thousands of People Made Rich BY Investing in Gold
Mine Stock. Late Discovery at Kimberly New

In the year 1900 Tonapah was dis
covered, and the shares sold for 10
cents on the dollar Since that time
it has paid forty million dollars to
stockholders.
Goldfeld was discovered in 1904;
its output has been forty million
dollars.
In 1905 Bullfrog mines were dis
covered; the output has been ten
million dollars.
Does it pay to own thousand dol
lars in gold mine? One thousand
shares in the Daly-West mines sold
at 20 cents "a share, and is now worth
forty-seven thousand dollars.
One thousand shares in the Calu-
met-Hec1a sold for 10 cents a share,
and is now worth thirty-three thou
sand dollars. Hundreds of other
mining properties could be cited as
examples of wonderful success.
Why Not Kimberly?
These mines were first discovered
IN 1903. They have been developed
partially, and gold is to be found
everywhere over an area of eight
miles square.
Respess and Company of Atlanta
and Chicago have secured a foothold
here; they and their associates have
three mines developed, and in these
developed properties they are offer
ing only the bonds for sale, which
bear interest at per cent, with a
guarantee that as the work of devel-
opment proceeds the profits will in
crease, and the bOndholders will be
paid in addition interest on one-half
of the net income over and above the
six per cent. So your bonds may pro-
duce an income of / 5 to 20 per cent.
SIX per cent is guaranteed. These
bonds are sold in denominations of
500, $500 and $1,000 at par, and
present an opportunity for safe and
profitable investment.
They have adjacent to these de-
yelOped mines ten other prospects
undeveloped claims. These claims
are supposed to be as rich in gold
ore or richer than the mines already
developed. One of the ten PROPOSE
