GOLD Is FOUND ON
MUSCATINE ISLAND
Silver and Platinum Also As
sayed from Samples For
warded to Washington.

Muscatine, Iowa, July 17.-Gold, as
saying from rs cents to 81 to the ton,
has been discovered in the gravel pits
of the Boynton Construction company
on Muscatine island.
The startling find was made a week
ago when Grant Hurst. an employe of
the company, saw some cleaning yell
low particles among the gravel Pick
ing them out of the sand, in idle curl
osity, he found that they were heavier
than the ordinary gravel particles.
Samples were sent off to Wishing
ton, d. c., and this morning a letter
arrived from the government assay
station there to the effect that the ore
would run near 81 per ton and that
there was also a considerable per cent
of silver and platinum in the samples.
We're the assay somewhat higher,
from $3.50 to 81 per ton, the beds
could be worked but unless heavier
deposits are discovered it is not prob.
able that the gravel pit will be turned
into gold mine.
The ore deposits are strictly allu,
vial, being strewn through the gravel
deposits in small particles. If the beds
are worked it will be carried on in the
same manner as placer mining is
done.
Muscatine island is IL miles long
and IA miles wide and is entirely un.
derlaid by alluVial deposits similar to
that now being worked by the Boyn.
ton Construction company, whose pit
already excavated is one mile long by
a half mile wide.
Hundreds of thousands of tons OF
gravel have been taken from the is
land pits, Muscatine streets being un
derlaid with the material which prob.
ably contains several hundred dollars
worth of gold. The road bed of the
c., R. l. & P. in the vicinity of Mus.
catine is also ballasted with the same
material, which has suddenly turned
out to be scattered through with gold.
Gravel has been dug on the island
for the past Is years.

Sheboygan Tears Hole
in Vessel Nearing Chi
cago Harbor.
PASSENGERS RESCUED
Panic Is Avoided by ReaSSur-
anCes of CreW-Fog
Causes Disaster

Chicago, July 1.-THE steamship
Sheboygan of the Goodrich tn x
company rammed into the steal 49,
Iowa of the same line near the mo-,
Of the Chicago river today.
A 3O-foot hole was torn in the starr
board side of the Iowa. Several score
of passengers on each vessel were
panic-stricken, but no one was drown
ed or injured Both boats were heav-
lily loaded with freight.
The Iowa arrived from Milwaukee
this morning and had just finished
docking at the North Water street
Goodrich company landing when the
accident occurred. The steamer, after
unloading most of the passengers at
North Water street, had gone out be-
yond the mouth of the river to swing
around and come into the freight
docks at the Rush street bridge. AS
she was turning the Sheboygan crash
ed into her 20 feet forward of the pilot
| house.
The Sheboygan was inbound from
Sturgeon bay and the collision was
due to fog. The Iowa was towed to
the docks before she could sink. The
Sheboygan was only slight damaged.
TUGS TO RESCUE.
When the vessels collided the
alarmed passengers on the Sheboygan
rushed from their state rooms and
crowded to the rail. The fog in
creased their. fear until it bordered on
a panic I The captain and crew went
among the passengers and attempted
to quiet them. A number made rushes
for lifeboats but were restrained. An
emergency call brought five tugs to
the Iowa's aid They threw lines over
her and under full steam started for
the dock at North Water street The
crew strained at the pumps.
The Sheboygan was in better shape,
and prepared to stand by to rescue
passengers and crew if the Iowa sank.
A life saving crew from the mouth of
the river came alongside in motor
boats. The Iowa kept settling and it
was feared that at any moment she
would dive to the bottom.
BREAKS MOORINGs.
She was swaying when the tugs
warped her into the dock There an
emergency crew of Goodrich freight
handlers rushed aboard to remove as
much of the cargo as they could.
Finally the lookout cried an alarm
and the freight handlers and crew
leaped to the wharf. Within a min
ute the Iowa broke her moorings and
sank. Some of the cargo was taken
off, but most of it went to the bottom.
Only the upper work of the Iowa is
above water.
IOWA BUILT IN 1890.
The Iowa, built in 1896, is 202 feet
long, with gross tonnage of 1.157.
The Sheboygan is 2O6 feet in length,
but of lighter tonnage
Passengers of the Iowa were landed
before the accident, which occurred
when she was on her way to another
dock to discharge freight.

LOWER LIVING COSTS
PLAN OF 63rd C0NCREtt S
(By Clyde H. Tavenner)


Washington, Jan. 3o.-Remove
the tariff tax from meat and sugar,
to lessen the burden of taxation
now being borne by the poor, and
place tax on the incomes of the
'ich, who are not now bearing
their due proportion of the govern
ment expense!
This promises to be a feature of
the legislative program of the
Democratic 63rd Congress. Ques-
tons asked by witnesses before the
Ways and Means committee indi-
Gated that meats and sugar may 60
on the free list. An income tax to
make up for the loss of revenue
from the tariff on meats and sugar
will soon come into existence as
result of the ratification of the in
come tax amendment to the con-
stitution by the necessary three
fourths of the states.
This program should spell some
reduction in the cost of living. The
wholesale price of sugar in London
where there is no tax on sugar,
averages two cents a pound less
than in New York. The same
thing is true of beef. The cables
frequently report that American
beef, on which the transportation
has been paid across the Atlantic,
is being sold on the block in Lon
don two cents a pound less than in
the United States. This shows
how these trusts have been taking
advautae ot home consumers
whom ,h,, n,isg at their mercy
because of lhs PAYNE Aldaich tariff
law.
Naturally the sugar trust and
the beef trust will not approve a
policy of free sugar aud free meat.
but the sugar trust and the beef
trust will not be III the saddle in
Washington after March a.
