IN EEKING for treasure" The
words are as magnet in the
Al power they have over the
minds of men. Let an ex-
plorer 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
a 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
a location of auriferous quartz now
bringing him in a colossal fortune.
One night in 1908, while making
camp" with his fellow-prospectors,
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 a pine
near at hand an inscription consisting
of the date, May, 1906" and the mi
tials of his two brothers, who had
been missing for several years. Later
on, the discovery was made Of two
skeletons under tree q little distance
of the trail, and not far from the tree
Mcleod picked up q watch, which he
at once recognized as having belong
ed to his brother Frank. =
On the trees in the vicinity being
closely examined "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 suficient to
lead him to believe that q complete
deciphering would probably mean his
fortune.
The words that had remained de-
cipherable referred to the locating of
q gold SHAFT" but the murderers,
who were presumed to have been In
dians, had not only taken the precau-
tons to remove from their victims all
means of Identification, but had also
cut the tree in such manner as to
make the carving unintelligible. Near

Astonishment in Baltimore.

1t is hard to say whether the
marketmen or the clubwomen of Balti-
more were the more surprised when
an investigating committee of the wo-
men found that in several of the
markets the scales were giving more
than sixteen ounces of meat to the
pound.-Boston Herald

at nand however, Mcleod CHANGED on
q 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 McLeod's 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 a stout,
strong, young German, who came into
Oregon to seek gold. He did find
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 sto Rogue river, still
hugging some pieces of auriferous
quartz.
It 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 a 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

About eight years ago Isaac Newton
Fowler, Brooklyn man, while hunt
ing in Chihuahua, Mexico, found an
old tunnel, the mouth of which had
been walled up at ONE 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 it
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
1t. 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 tunnel
that 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 ran about
400 feet to breast G. 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.

Mendelssohn, the Fortunate, was
the subject of the evening and the
biographical sketch of his lie by
Miss BIanch Bush was "a very in-
structve lesson.
In speaking of this famous COM
poser Miss Bush said he was one of
the most fortunate personalities
among modern composers.
"Felix Mendelssohn was born
under lucky star. The pathways
of most musical geniuses are cover
ed with thorns, bis was strewn with
roses.
The father of Felix was a banker,
and his mother was a woman of rare
culture, spoke several languages
well, could play the piano, sing and
draw. Hence 1t was she, and not
the father, as with the Mozarts, who
undertook to develop the children's
talent. Felix had lessons five
minutes at a time, when three ye
old. These were continued until ne
was seven. If Mendelssohn did not
begin TO compose at an age as early
as Mozart did, be carried 1T on in
dustrlously after his tenth year. His
first works was cantata. AT the
age of twelve his original works
were sixty in number. His thirl eenth
and fourteenth years were busy ones

frank, full of life, simple, wo.der-

long curls, is certainly chnrm'rg !:
add TO this the boundlcss low he
had for his sister Fannie and for the
family group in general, and the
fact that the culture Cf the mother
and the wealth of the father assured
hem all that could possibly contri
butte TO intellectual happiness and
advantage and the picture Is a rare
! one. These unusual conditions were
widely appreciated and the Mendels-
sObn home bee me the center where
many congenial spirits gathered.
