LONG-L0ST WEALTH is FOUND
Persistent Mountalneer Redlscovere
Gold Ledge After Twenty-Three
Years-Others Gave Up.

Spokane, Wash.-A search of %
deposit of gold has at last been
brought to successful conclusion by
persistent prospector, f. A. Schnicke.
He has come out of one of the widest
parts of the wild Cascade mountains
with specimens of gold bearing ore
that promise fortune when the ledge
from which he took them Is developed.
He has chart of the route that will
lead him back when he has formed
the party to help him.
II was in the summer of 1888 that
Amos White, mountaineer and pros
pector. came staggering out of the
Cascades in the vicinity of Mount Ad.
ans and showed ore like that which
his successor is now showing. He got
backing and tried to take party in to
hew a way to his ledge. Deep SHOWS
the following winter stopped him, and
when he tried to go in the summer for
est fires ragged and prevented him
from carrying out his plans. This i'll
luck followed him for two years, and
then exposure brought on illness that
killed him
Just before he died White gave a
crude map OF the location of the gold
ledge to John Snydsr, close friend.
This showed the ledge to be near the
shore of small lake somewhere on
the western slope of the Cascades and
under the shadow of Mount Adams
Snyder found that forest fires had
wiped out some of the signs by which
he was to be guided and he could not
locate the lake. He pursued the quest
for 13 years and then gave the chart
to Marion Locke, friend. Locke
went cut to find Whites ledge and
spent long time in the search. He
was equally baffled, but fortune was
kind to him, for in his wanderings he
discovered the Mccoy Creek mines,
which have since made him wealthy
1t was two years ago when the final
effort was begun. Five men, including
Schnicke, who called themselves The
Lucky Five,' went into the wilderness.
One by one all abandoned the search
except Schnicke. Curiously he made
the discovery at place visited before
by himself and others interested in
the search but not recognized. 1t was
small body of water called Badger
lake. He came upon 1t from new
angle and something about it struck
him as being in accord with the chart
He searched for an old camp that
White had marked and after some
heavy work discovered it. He then
had little difficulty in locating the
ledge and finding the specimens of
ore. He has filed his mining claims
On all the outcroppings he could find
and expects to go back and begin
work before the summer is over.

WHEN THE KIDNEYS FAIL
Perrysburg People Have Found That
III Health Quickly Follows.

Do you ever feel that you simply
can't go any further-that you must
have rest from that lame and aching
back-relief from the constant, dead
tired feeling-freedom from those
stabbing, darting pains? Likely your
kidneys are worn and tired and need
help. The kidneys work night and
day, removing uric acid from the
blood and other waste created by
exercise of strength and energy.
Naturally a life of unusual activity
doubles the duties of the kidneys and
in time the strain tells. Doan's Kid
ney Pills have brought new strength
to thousands of bad backs and quick
relief to weakened kidneys. Let them
do the same for you.
Mrs. Charles King, Elm St., Wau-
seon, Ohio, says: About two years
ago 1 publicly recommended Doan's
Kidney Pills, after they had been used
in my family with great benefit. The
time that has since passed has con-
vinced me that my confidence in this
remedy was not misplaced. The per-
son who used Doan's Kidney Pills has
had no further kidney trouble and

their train being an hour and a hall
late, they were surprised to find Err

MONSTER OF THE DEEP SEA
Some Strange Living Creatures That
lnhabit the Dark Abysses of
the Ocean.

The ocean water at depths of a mile
or more is so dense, and its pressure
is so great. that glass bottles forced
down into 1t are crushed to powder
and tubes of metal are twisted and
flattened out of shape. Yet living
creatures inhabit these dense and
heavy depths. From the underworld
of the sea, where the pressure is two
and half tons to the square inch,
the explorers dredges bring up curl.
Gus fishes, with bodies constructed
with special reference to this environ.
ment of weight.
Their bony and muscular systems
are not fully developed; the bones are
permeated with pores and assures
The calcareous matter Is at q mini
mum, and the bones of the vertebrae
are Joined together so loosely that the
larger fishes often fall apart while
being lifted out of the water. The
muscles are all thin, and the connec.
tive tissue seem almost wanting. Yet
these fishes are able to dart about
and capture their prey.
1t is another interesting fact that
no light penetrates these ocean
abysses-all below 1000 feet being
total darkness-and this necessitates
another adaptation of the deep-sea in.
habitants. They carry lanterns.
Many of these deep-sea fish have spe.
cial organs upon their sides and
heads that are known to possess a
luminous quality.
One of the largest of these deep.
sea torch bearers is a fish six feet
long, with a tail dorsal fin extending
nearly the entire length of the body
Along the sides of the body is
double row of luminous scales. One
of the most ferocious of these deep.
sea forms has mouth full of teeth
that protrude In a most formidable
manner. The fins are all tipped with
fiaming spots, while along the dorsal
surface extends a row of spots that
appear like so many windows through
which light is shining.
The little fishes called Bombay
ducks" are luminous over their entire
surface, and when numbers are col.
lected together they present an as.
tonishing spectacle. Another species
has jaw so arranged that it can
seize fish twice its size and easily
swallow them. Its stomach has the
elastic quality of india rubber. It
stretches to enormous proportions,
and appears like great transparent
balloon hanging under the fish, and
containing its prey.
The last expedition sent out by the
prince of Monaco brought to light
some remarkable forms. The dredge
off Morocco brought up from depth
of one and half miles a fish that
appeared to be all head or mouth. 1t
was of small size, and the length of
the mouth was about four-fifths of the
entire body; SO that If the body had
