Jones Prophecy Fulfilled

rect" he said, though am inter
ested in a gold mine near Sitka,
which, while it is not very large
one, is rich in ore. But will tell
you something in regard to this gold
mine of mine that believe to be as
true as that am talking and walk
ing with you this minute. That mine,
sir, is significant of what Is in store
for Alaska No experienced prospec-
tor could be found who weslld say
that a gold mine like this one near
Sitka is merely an isolated cutcrop-
ping of gold. No, sir. 1t indicates
the presence of vast and rich de-
posits of gold somewhere, although
the outcroppings may not BIZ found
within hundred or several hundred
miles of the mine"
up there, in the remote north
west" he said, 1--WE are going 20 find
the mother lode of gold, whence flow
all the currents of gold that ran
southerly through the entire Rocky
mountain basin. l am perfectly con-
vinced of 1t. In my opinion, the
peninsula of Alaska some day, and
most probably in the very near fu-
ture, Is to be revealed as ono of the
richest gold bearing regions In the
entire world. / am now of zoo adj
vanced years personally to visit and
make explorations Of that territory.
There are younger men who will at
tend to that---in fact, are doing this
work now. / shall not be surprised
to hear any day of rich gold discov-
cries made by some Of them. Then
will follow gradual but certain ex-
ploration until, at last, the mother
lode is found. And because / believe
all this-because my miners fraining
tells me implicitly that this Is so and
leads me to make to you this prophe-
cy of gold-I suppose 1t has been
said of me that the little gold mine
in which I am interested has caused
me to change my views on bimetal-
lism."
1t was only a little more than a
year after my conversation with Sen
ator Jones that the world was star
tied with the first reports telling of
wonderful discoveries of gold in the
Yukon district of Alaska Today.
Alaska is one of the worlds princi-
pal sources of the yellow metal. And
the development of the territory is
in its infancy.

Nevada Senator Declared That Alaska
Would Be Found to Be One OF the
Worlds Principal Sources of
the Yellow Metal.

From the time, in August, 1875,
when he became chairman or the
monetary commission provided by
Joint resolution Of congress to ex-
anime and report upon the question
of bimetallism, until the silver issue
passed off the political stage, john Z.
Jones, Nevada member of the United
States senate for 80 years, beginning
In 1873, was one of the foremost
champions of bimetallism in this
country. His desertion Of the RepuD-
lican party in 1896 on the silver ques-
ton is historic.
About a year after the 1895 presi-
Dental campaign had been decided In
favor of William Mckinley and the
gold standard I met Senator Jones,
and in the course of the conversation
said to him: 81 have heard it said,
Senator, that you have changed your
opinion respecting the use OF silver
as a money metal, and / have been
wondering whether that report is
correct"
81 will tell you about that as we
walk along" he said, and took my
arm. 81 have not changed my opin-
ion respecting the expediency OF u.s.
ing silver as money metal-at least,
the opinion / held when ! advocated
bimetallism. But conditions have
changed lately, as they changed fol-
lowing the discovery Of gold in Cali
fornia. Before that discovery, the sill
yer dollar was really the standard,
and the ratio between gold and sill
yer was strongly in favor OF
silver. Two factors have served to
bring about the present change. One
Is the discovery of process by
which very low grade gold ore can
be profitably worked, and the other
is the vast development of gold min
ing in South Africa and the United
States. These factors have served to
give us more of the gold than we had
at the time / was advocating bimet-
allism"
81 have heard it said, Senator" |
interrupted, that your changed opin-
ion might be traced to the fact that
you are interested in gold mine near
Sitka, Alaska.

EAGER TO WORK.
Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman
Is usually eager to be busy at some
useful task or employment.
But let dyspepsia or indigestion get
hold of one, and all endeavor becomes
a burden.
"a year ago, after recovering from
an operation" writes Michigan lady,
my stomach and nerves began to give
ne much trouble.
'At times my appetite was vora-
cious, but when INDUCED, indigestion
followed. Other times had no appe-
tite whatever. The food l took did not
nourish me and grew weaker than
ever.
IT lost interest in everything and
wanted to be alone had always had
good nerves, but now the merest trif1e
would upset me and bring on violent
headache. Walking across the room
was an effort and prescribed exercise
was out Of the question.

but did not believe what read at the

Grape-Nuts I am eager to be at work

Prof. Gaupp Says the Majority o

Professor Gaupp, who has completed
from official statistics a work on sui
eide and its causes.
The writer holds that by far the
majority of cases are due either to
pronounced insanity, or to psyche
pathic degeneracy, all other causes
being relatively insignificant. The
suicide yrate shows a continued in

ent system of the Vanderbilt railroads.
"He was very shy, and modest almost
to a fault. He was absolutely loyal
to his friends; was very solicitous OF
the opinion Of every one with whom
he was brought in contact, and would
never permit himself to indulge In an
outburst of temper. Yet notwith'
standing these qualities, he was
man of great firmness when once he
was convinced that he was right IN
any matter, though his apparently
gentle method of insisting upon reccgi
milton of his prerogatives often ied
even persons who knew him fairly
we'll to misjudge his character in
this respect. The little story | am
going to relate to you is a case In
point.
when Mr.. Vanderbilt succeeded
his father as directing authority OF
the New York Central system, snti'
mate relations had been maintained
for years between the Vanderbilt Sam1
lily and one of the oldest trust thsti'
tutions of New York This intimacy
dated back to the days of the Commo-
dore himself, and Cornelius Wander
bilt, as the head of the family, en-.
couraged and maintained 1t. Lmag'
inc his surprise, therefore, when the
late Edward King, president OF the
institution, said to Mr.. Vanderb1lt
one day that he was anxious that
gentleman of high financial standing
with whom 1t was generally k1owp
that Mr.. Vanderbilt was not on friend
ly terms, should be elected to I'LL
vacancy in the board Of directors OF
the trust company. No other name
could have been more distasteful to
Mr.. Vanderbilt; still, in his characters
istically gentle manner he ventured
to- protest against the selection OF the
man.
"'It is my view he said, that in
the directorate of an important bank
ing institution such as ours Is there
should be as far as possible complete
cordially and harmony among the
various members. Certainly, there
should not be elected to the director'
ate any one with whom another dil
rector cannot hold personal commu'
nication.
Nov, you would suppose, wouldn't
you" continued Mr.. Clarke, that
plea of that kind would have boon sufa
ficient to cause Mr.. King to change
his r.ind about wanting the man on
the board of directors? But it wasn't;
Mr.. King was 'sot' on having his own
way. TIA man was elected director,
and because Mr.. Vanderbilt made no
further complaint of any sort, Mr..
King speedily became convinced that
Mr.. Vanderbilt had become reconciled
to his friends election, to Mr.. Kings
inward Subtraction.
"But how gravely mistaken Mr..
King was IL his estimate of Mr.. Vana
derbilt's character was made plain
to us who knew Cornelius Vanderbilt
and his ways yell when. following the
reading of hag will after his death
in 1899, it wAs discovered that by a
codicil he had transferred a most i'm
portant trust ghich he had at first
established WITH Mr.. Kings company,
to the strongest rival of that institu-
tion"

to be a very keen politician"
Does he want to be PRESIDENT
Sir Henry asked. But almost before
he had time to receive an answer, he
suddenly leaned forward excitedly and
exclaimed abruptly: "Ah, there is a
man | should like to study" And
thereafter he sat in silent observation
for perhaps quarter of an hour.
81 cannot quite fathom that mans
intellect" he said at last; apparently,
he is lethargic, physically, yet of won
derfully keen intellectual powers. But
what interests me in him is the fact
that his head is perfect copy, In
contour, Of the head OF Shakespeare.
The similarity is marvellous. | have
never seen any other head so closely
approach in it's characteristics the
best bust that we have of Shakes
peare. Is he leader in this body ?
He should be with such a head. And
what is his name?"
"He is one Of the leaders in the
house: he is one of the most brilliant
men in public life today, and dis name
is Thomas Bracket Reed" was the
answer.
Observation-Disclosures is the like
ness between his head and that Of the
bust of Shakespeare" exclaimed Sir
Henry under his breath. And during
the rest of the hour that the great
English actor, who had proved himself
so excellent reader of mems charac-
tiers, stayed in the house. his gaze
was constantly riveted on Thomas B.
Reed.
