the Reed mice, Carrabus county. North Carolina. This state pro- duced over $100,000 in gold from 1904 to 1927.
 In South Carolina deposits were worked in Chesterfield and L.an- caster counties in 1929.
 Gold was discovered in Georgia in 1929 in Habersham county.
 Gold was discovered in Califor- nia in 1S4S Who will not re- member the historic rush of gold seekers to California in lS49, which resulted in the settling and dew elOpment of not only Califorlil alone. but the whole West, and which at that time extended from the Mississippi valley to the Pa ciic coast2
 It is said that all the gold in the world, which is estimated in round numbers at 21 100000 pounds, if melted into ingots, would easily be contained in a room 48 feet square and 32 feet high.
 The worlds gold stock has in- creased one-half in 10 years and has doubled in 25 years.
 California, popularly known as the Golden State, in 50 years pro. duced more gold than was produced in the entire world from the dis cOyery of America to the year TAO a period of nearly 250 years. This same state alone has produced more gold than did the remainder ot the United States from 1792 to 1890, a period of almost 100 years.
 For years and years California held the record for gold production, but finally, in 1900, had to give first place to Colorado, and that state held it continuously until last year, when California again as. sumed the lead.
 In 1910 Colorado produced $20,- 40S,641 in gold and of this amount Teller county, which contains the famous Cripple Creek district, pro- duced over half, or $10,964,467. People who have made iniudici- ous investments in mining, and lost, are prone to complain bitter 1y, and a great many believe that mining is an unproitable business.
 For the benefit of those holding this opinion we would call atten- tion to the following comparison:
 Fifteen leading railroads of the country, including the Pennsylv- ania system. the New York Central lines, the Santa Fe and the Union Pacific, with a total capitalization of $3,274,04S,000, have paid in dividends since 1901 the sura of $506.0l2,968. or about 15 per cent.
 Twenty leading mines, producing gold, silver and copper, with q caI italization agregating but $100,- 365,000, have paid dividends in

G0lD- D--THAT'S kLI.
Soue Interesting Facts About the YeI-
 low Metal.


 eaOugh to either mine 1t ourselves Oc watch others at the interesting work. Some people have been foolish enough to believe that gold was obtainable from sea water, and have paid dearly to learn that such was not the case.
 Others have, at certain times In their lives, purchased "gold bricks. :"
 We all of us want gold.
 We all try to get it
 Some succeed.
 Some don't.
 Some try just as hard to get rid of it as others do to acquire it.
 You may be particular we'll post ed regarding this precious metal. You may have acquired goodly stare of it, and we hope you have; but we venture to say that among tue following items you will find at least one that will interest you aad perhaps you may learn come thing about gold that you never knew before.
 Gold is probably the oldest of tue metals, having been known as far back as history reaches.
 That gold was one of the first metals used by man is probably due to the fact that it occurs in nature in the metallic state; that its color is attractive, and that it Is yeasily worked and fashioned into crude ornaments by hammering.
 The metal has always been high ly prized because of it's rarity and its beautiful yellow color, which remains untarnished in all clim- ates. The lowest orders of man possessed gold ornaments, and these were often the cause of ancient wars.
 Gold was known in Egypt near ly 4,00O years before Christ,
 The expedition of Jasen and his argonauts was piratical, for the purpose of acquiring gold; this oc. cured about 1863 B. C. They rowed along the coast of Aegean, Prompotine and Euxine seas to Colchis.
 Caesars conquest of Gaul was made for the purpose of acquiring gold mines.
 The voyage of Columbus, which resulted in the settlement and the development of the western hemis- phere, vas made to discover a .ahorter route to India, whereby the gold and treasure of the East could Ibe more readily obtained. Colum- ibus did not discover the route to Ipdis, but a good substitute was fdund ia .the treasures of Mexico which was plundered by Cortez, great shiploads of gold were sent to Spain.
 The first mention of gold in the United States was in 1850 by Ponce de Leon, the discoverer ol Florida. This was followed by aocouots of various Spanish writers and explorers, some of them des- cribing methods used by the In dians iA gathering gold.
 The earliest authentic record oI gold in the United States is by Thomas Jefferson in 1782. In thai year piece of ore was found ir Che Rappahannock river in Vir ginia which yielded 17 penny. weight of gold.
 In 1779 nugget was found 1T

DENIES STORY OF DUEL
Friend of Mute Romine Says He Did
Not Assault Frank Miller West
of Cove Last Week.

Hatfield, June i2.-It is all a mis-
take about Mute Romine and Frank
Miller exchanging shots near Wat
son, Ok. This is the second attempt
Miller has made at Romine, trying
to make it appear that Romine is
trying to kill him.
When the story of the duel came
out in The Star on the 7th, Nute's
mother and sister were very much
troubled, and came to me and asked
me to 90 and find out about Mute.
| started out and went to Watson
the first place. | made inquiries at
Mr.. Blake's store. He told me there
was nothing to it. He told me about
Miller passing Monday morning and
that after Miller passed, going
towards Cove, he heard three shots
fired that sounded like pistol shots.
These shots were fred near Mr..
Webbs house. Mr.. Webb heard the
shooting and he said there were
only three shots fired and they were
pistol shots. Mr.. Webb says Miller
come to his house soon after the
shooting and told him some one
shot at him, but did not say any
thing about shooting at his assall-
ant to Mr.. Webb. SO he went down
to Cove and told the story that
came out in The Star. Going back
to Watson Miller was arrested. The
officer took a pistol off of him and
broke three gallons of whlskey. he
was Transporting. He tried to buy
some 50 pistol cartridges at Mr..
Blakes store. During all this time
Mute was gathering cattle for B.
Gipson. | went to Mr.. ,Glpsons TO
find out if Mute had been away
from the ranch and was told that
he had not. So that is what | found
out about it. | hope you will pub
lish this in The Star so the people
will know the straight about it.

Carry on the Fiaht.n

Kansas City, June fi.--Mrs. Carry
A. Nation, the Kansas saloon smash
er, died in the Evergreen hospital in
Leayenworth at five minutes after
7 O'Clock last night. She had been
i'll in the institution several months,
having been taken TO the hospital
January % from Eureka Springs,
Ark, suffering from nervous break
down. She had been unconscious
since Thursday afternoon. Mrs.
Nation was 66 years old.
Worry over law suits brought by
her against lecture bureau for al
legged failure to pay her for serv-
ices on the platform is said to have
caused her to break down.
The last five months Of her life in
the sanitarium were in contrast
with her former aggressive activity.
She submitted passiyely to the ply
sician's directions. Once she saw a
physician on the grounds smoking q
cigarette. She made no remon-
STRANGE, merely smiling and saying
that she had done all she could to
eradicate the evil" She was con-
tent, she told him, to let others car
ry on the fight.
Mrs. Nation will be buried in Rich
mond, Mo-, where her parents are
buried. This was her desire.

SAVE WOMAN FROM GALLOWs?
Washington Hanging Would BE Blot

Washington, June IA frail,
sickly little woman. covering with
the native fear of death and haunt

been made the object of the coun-
trywide appeal against the execu,
tion Of a woman ON the seahold

Wives of congressman and many
other women of prominence have
interested themselves in behalf OF
Matte Lomax, condemned to die on
July 81, unless President Taft inter
venes. The President has promised
to consider the case if it is brought
to him as a formal petition.
Matte is the first woman con-
demned to die in the District OF Co
lumbia since Mrs. Surratt paid the
extreme penalty for completely IN
the assassination of President Lin
coin. Matte admitted killing her
husband, but those who oppose the
execution assert that to hang her
would be a blot on the Nation.

THOUGHT HER BOY LOST
Mrs. w. II. Cole Found Son I'm Bed
While Man Looked for Him

1t was thought Tuesday evening
for awhile that the home of w. r..
Cole had lost one Of the members
of its household in most tragic
way when a hat belonging to Ho-
mer, the 7-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Cole was found beside the well
and bucket in which the boy had
been carrying water could not be
found. xlIM
Mr.. Cole rushed to the home of
William Kessinger, a well digger
who liver near, got Mr.. Kessinger
and a rope and soon Mr.. Kessinger
was down in the well. Just about
the time he was getting in the wa
ter, the welcome news that the boy
had been found was shouted from
the house. Mrs. Cole, who had been
standing up bravely under the
strain had finally about given up
and went to her bedroom. There,
to her great surprise and delight,
the little boy was stretched out on
the bed, totally unconscious of the
excitement and worry which he
was innocently causing.
