nervousness was becoming more and
more marked.

at hand, however, Mcleod CHANGED on
a shaft, which had apparently been
sunk in recent years and from which
a considerable quantity of gold had
been extracted. Subsequently some
Indians claimed that they had sunk
this shaft, but the matter was deter
mined in McLeods favor.
At the present day the prospectors'
camps in southwest Oregon are
haunted by a little old man; who sell
dom comes in, and who when ap-
preached threatens with his rifle and
then sinks off into the tall timber and
scrub at hand. The camp to which
he attaches himself he watches most
carefully, following one man after an
other as they leave to look for game.
Something like thirty years ago
this ghost-like man was stout,
strong, young German, who came into
Oregon to seek gold. He did find a
very valuable prospect" and had be-
gun to work it when the Indians sur
prised him. His one companion was
killed, but the young man escaped and
made his way to Rogue river, still
hugging some pieces of auriferous
quartz.
1t was years before he came back
with money enough to reopen his
mine, the knowledge of which had
made him rich during all the weary
time of hard work and self-denial
when he was laying up the GRUB
stake which was to keep him from
the necessity of sharing his wealth
with partner.
But he could not find his mine! The
frost and the snow, landslip or two,
and the overlooking of the cascading
stream had obliterated his landmarks.
At last, his money being exhausted,
he told others of his mine and show
ed them the specimens which he had
kept by him all the years. The min
ers Of southwest Oregon are tired now
Of looking for the lost mine, but the
German still moves about the hills in
a state of fear lest any one should
find before he does the Cray Dutch
man mine"
In the early days of the Yukon gold
seekers much search was made for
an aliuvial source from which the In
dams, early in the nineteenth century,
must have obtained the gold dust
which for a time they disposed Of to
trappers, the Hudson Bay company
and others. One morning prospec-
tor, Joe Carver, when camping with
an Indian hunter, was told by him
that, seeing the rising sun CLEAN On
the rocks, at the base Of which ran
stream, brought to his memory that
the place had been called by his fore
fathers the Rocks Of Gold" Search
revealed the great hoard which Ma
ture had been accommodating In the bed
Of the stream there for innumerable
centuries.

asked at last, rather sullenly. Ask

gently down by the side of his chair,
pulled cord that had been laid along
the floor and into the next room. Then
he turned, allowed the scowl to fade
from his face, and sat smiling at the
prisoner.
For a moment there was silence,
and then, from a distance, there be-
gan to drift the tones of a plaintiff
melody. Slowly it began, and softly.
Gradually the tones grew in strength
and seemed to float into the silent
room from hundred scources at
once. l saw Witbers look up, saw
him gaze about him in establishment.
Then his head dropped.
Gradually, ever and ever more in
tense, the music grew. Withers
edged forward a bit in his chair and
folded his arms. I could see that his
head waved a trifie with the action Of
the music. His face grew saddened.

/AN EEKING for treasure" The
words are as magnet in the
- power they have over the
minds of men. Let an ex-
piorer come home to tell OF gold
mines, Of gems, and of pearls to be
found in some region of utter desola-
ton, amid peril, discomfort and soil
tude, and the great and small, gentle
and simple rush in thousands over
seas in pursuit of the golden spoil.
Perhaps nowhere has the romance of
seeking treasure been kept so actively
alive as in the northern gold-produc-
ing regions of North America.
Even stranger than fiction is the
tale told by Charles Mcleod, as Ed
monitor prospector, who, while leading
party of gold-seekers through the
wastes of the northwest section of
British Columbia, stumbled over the
bones of his two brothers and hit upon
location of auriferous quartz now
bringing him in a colossal fortune
One night in 1908, while making
camp" with his fellow-prospector
Mcleod found traces of an old camp
fire in the forest nearby, and in idle
curiosity began to scrape among the
ashes and bids of charred wood, pres
emily to find on the trunk of pine
near at hand an inscription consisting
Of the date, MAY, 1905" and the ini-
tials of his two brothers, who had
been missing for several years. Later
on, the discovery was made of two
skeletons under a tree little distance
Off the trail, and not far from the tree
Mcleod picked up a watch, which he
at once recognized as having belong
ed to his brother Frank.
On the trees in the vicinity being
closely examined q ''blazed" trunk
was found with much carving, but
very few of the words were readable.
Near the foot of the tree Mcleod
managed to make out sufficient to
lead him to believe that complete
deciphering would probably mean his
fortune.
The words that had remained de-
cipherable referred to the locating of
a gold shaft" but the murderers,
who were presumed to have been In
dams, had not only taken the precau-
tions to remove from their victims all
means of Identification, but had also
cut the tree In such manner az to
make the carving unintelligible. Near

About eight years ago Isaac Newton
Fowler, a Brooklyn man, while hunt
ing in Chihuahua, Mexico, found an
old tunnel, the mouth of which had
been walled up at i.ome remote time.
There was the usual local tradition OF
a lost mine in the neighborhoOd,
worked by the Spaniards of old and
abandoned by them in consequence OF
the hostility of the Apaches. The dis.
coverers of the walled-up tunnel de.
cided this was it. and have found ii
to be an exceedingly paying one.
A still richer find was that of
prospector on the Mexican side of the
Rio Grande, near Fort Hancock, Tex
An old dump of worked rock had
been there so long that nobody knew
who had taken the rock out. Not
even a tradition was associated with
it. A prospector interested capital
lists, and the old workings were re-
opened.
On the face Of the hill being clear
ed for the tunnel, the miners were
surprised to find solid wall OF
masonry, laid in cement, and so hard
that they had to blow it down by
means of dynamite. Once through
this wall they discovered a tunnel
that a few feet further on was closed
by a massive door of hardwood logs
fastened by a huge lock Of antique
Spanish workmanship. They broke in
and found that the tunnel RAJ about
400 feet to breast o. ore many times
richer than any found for many years.
A revolution or Indian rising had
probably caused the mine to be aban-
doned, and the workers with the char
acteristic subtlety Of their time had
hidden the bonanza, leaving exposed
only the waste product on the surface.

Almost with rush, Withers went
to the door that led into the next
room. Hurriedly he threw 1t open and
started to rush within. Then he re-
coiled. He staggered. His hands
went before his eyes and he reeled

At the wake of his dearest enemy he

With an ostentatious wave of the

moment a brick sailed down from an
upper floor and bounced from his
barred skull. Upon coming to he in.
quired anxiously for the hat. A by.

President Charles A. Lory made his
annual report covering the work of the
Agricultural college for the past year.
He showed the extent of experimental
work being done. The extension de-

year by means of farmers Institutes,
special trains, movable schools, short
courses, the farmers congress, normal
institutes, fairs, correspondence and
special work. More than 10000 let

Serious Diseases

We cannot all start life with the ad-
vantages of money, but every child
born is entitled to the heritage Of
good health. Through unfortunate ig-
norance or carelessness in the feeding
of baby it's tiny stomach may be-
come deranged. The disorder spreads
to the bowels and before the mother
realizes it the two chief organs on
which the infants comfort and health
depend are causing it great suffering.
If the condition is allowed to continue
grave ailments often result.
There is, however. no occasion for
alarm, and the sensible thing to do
but it should be done instantly-is to
give the baby small dose of a mild
laxative tonic. In the opinion of a
great many people, among them such
well-known persons as the parents of
Dixie Dudley, Magnolia, Ark. the
proper remedy is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. Mrs. Earl Dudley writes: "Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the best
medicine I ever used. It cured my
baby of fiatulency collie when the doc
tors failed; it cured my husband of
constipation. My home shall never
be without Syrup Pepsin." 1t is a
pleasant-tasting laxative, which every
person likes. It is mild. non-griping.
and contains that most excellent of all
digestants, pepsin.
This remedy is especially intended
for infants. children, women, old peo-
pie and all others to whom harsh

distressing. In fact. in the common

The San Juan region of Dolores, La
Plata, Ouray, San Juan and San Miguel
counties, showed decrease of $1,000
900 in output of gold, but an increase
of 100000 ounces of silver, 3.500,0OO
pounds of lead, and 100000 pounds of
copper. The yield of zinc was 100000
pounds less than in 1911. The decrease
in the yield of gold was caused chiefly
by the decline in operations of the
Camp Bird mine, which was to be
closed July, 1912, but which, owing to
the discovery of some new ore bodies,
