GOLD IS MINED BY QUAKEs
Volcanic Eruptlons Often Open Vast
Mineral Deposits In the
Earth,

Nome, Alaska.-"It's a poor earth.
quake that does nobody any good" Is
the new and startling version Of the
old proverb. TITS an i'll wind that
blows nobody any good.
The earthquake disturbances OF
September and October in southwest
ern Alaska have brought to the sur
face scores Of gold mines, which will
add millions of dollars to the wealth
Of the people of the territory.
The manner in which the earth
quake operates to bring a potential
gold mine in sight is, says the Detroit
Free Press, as follows: when the
trembling motion of the earth's crust
becomes exceedingly violent 1t pro-
Iduces deep cracks in the surface. The
earthquake, it is well known, rolls
over the surface Of the earth in a GER
tain direction, just as a wave rolls
over the surface Of the ocean.
The earthquake, however, is not
working in a fluid medium, and its
action upon the more stiff and brittle
crust Of the earth produces many
kinds of fractures and rearrange-
ments of the superficial strata. One
portion Of a layer of rock Is lifted up
and placed upon another. What was
once the surface of the earth Is buried
deep out Of sight, and the rock that
has been buried deep out of sight for
ages Is brought to light.
That side of a crack in the earth
from which the pressure is coming is
very apt to be lifted up and pushed
over the opposite side. In other cases
the gold-bearing lode lies concealed
under the surface soil of a hillside
and the earthquake shakes away the
gold, exposing the quartz.
The g~old-bearing lead in the newly
fractured rock is lifted up and expos
ed a few feet above the ground. Tho
miner has only to stretch forth his
pick and strike the auriferous rock.
Thus, through an Intervention Of the
benevolent earthquake. gold is discov-
cred which might never have been
found, and, in any case, an expendi-
ture of many thousands Of dollars In
mining machinery Is avoided.

After Paying for the Trousseau
and a Divorce the Western
Man Was Tilted.
CALLED HIM A "jAY"
Farmer Even Was Willing to Take
Mother-in-Law Along, but Kan
sas Woman Changed Her
Mind at the Last
Moment.

Columbus, Kan.-After he had paid
all the expenses Of her divorce from
her first husband, purchased tickets
for her and her mother to Holtviile,
CAL, where they were to be married,
and agreed to allow her mother to live
with them, Mrs. Minnie May Dewitt
auarreled with J. A. Ray and refused
to marry him.
Instead, Mrs. Dewitt is said to be
preparing now to marry a young man
whom she met before she began a cor
respondence with Ray, whose acQuaint-
anee she had made through a matri-
monial paper. Ray has returned to his
California home. He said he had no
feeling against Mrs. Dewitt, ever If
she had changed her mind and called
him a "jay."
Mrs. Dewitt is a pretty little WON
an eighteen years old. She was mar:
ried three years ago, and about two
years ago, after the birth Of a daugh'
ter, she brought suit for divorce. Not
having the money to pay the court
costs, she allowed the case to rest on
the docket. Meantime she had become
acquainted, it Is said, with a young
man here, and they desired to marry,
but. neither had the money to pay the
costs Of divorce. One day Mrs. De
Witt saw Rays name in a matrimonial
paper: She began a correspondence
with him and learned that he was for
ty-three years old and the owner OF q
fine irrigated farm near Ell Sentro. He
wrote interesting letters and so die
she. Photographs were exchanged and
finally they arranged to marry. Ray

The Free Sugar Bill is Passed.

Washington.-The Democratic free
sugar BILL passed the House 1913 to 1O3,
It's passage was helped by twenty-four
Republican votes, although this was
offset by the detection of seven Demo
cratic votes against the bill by mem
beers from Louisiana and Colorado,
At the last moment Representative
Martin of Colorado blocked an attempt
to fix plans for consideration Of the
excise tax bin, which through taxation
of income is expected to make up the
revenue lost by the free sugar meas
ure.

Women AS Farmers.
n. o. Item.

Mrs. Dodd, OF Ell Paso, declares
The Buffalo Tunes, hae farm OF
225 acres on which she raises
onions and alfalfa. The first year
she cleared $4,000 profit on 20
acres of onions, and for her first
shipment Of onions this year there
came in return a check for $114O.
All of he money in farming is
not reserved for mon by any means.
Onion raising is not tho most poe
tic vocation in the world. but it
would seem to DO a good means of
making a living for a woman.
Then, there are many other ways
in which a woman with a good
patch of ground and a home in the
country can turn an honest penny.
Among these may he mentioned,
canning and preserving. flower
raising, if near a city, small fruit
raising, aud poultry-farming. ANY
one of these provides means OF
making living that is not beyond
the strength and ability of any
enterprising woman. And Louisi
ana, by the way, is q good place
