It Is still being washed from the sands near La Paz, and it is found in greater or less quantities along almost all the tribu- taries of the Amazon. prospector tells me that the whole mountain range, run hing from Mount Sorati to Mount Hi mana, a distance of 15O miles, shows color, and that some places have un- doubtedly veins of gold.
 large part of the Bolivian plateau consists of sedimeptary deposits of gravel and clay, and in many places upon it coarse gold has been found The most of this is in small nuggets and very little in dust
 There are extensive quartz mines on the Amazonian side of the Andes. One of these belongs to the Inca Mining com pany, a Pennsylvania combination. which altogether has taken out about $7. 0G0. 900, and another is the Santo Domingo mine, that has produced half as much. Dur ing my stay in Arequipa I met MT B H. Collins the manager of the Inca com pany, and had a chat with him about his mines and the difficulties with which the company had to contend before they could make them profitable. The mines

are situated on the Madre de D;os river, not very far from the heaawate.s of the Amazon. They are on the Atlantic s.ope of the Andes about 650 miles east of the Pacific ocean. To reach them one has to go by the railroad across the coast range, through pass higher than the top of Pikes Peak, and then up the branch lines which leads from Juliiaca to Cuzeo At Tirapata the miners leave the railroad and go ncross tho country by Il wagon road and mule trail for dls- tance Of about l42 miles. The company Tad to build tine road themselves, and that across a pass oyer 16,000 feet hiso. The road has 16 bridges and it goes through gorses 500 feet tall A mule tra-l that forms the end of the route winds it's way for 3S miles up and down and along the sides of the cliffs. It cost s4Go000, and the total expense of the whole route was enormous. The mining company got a concession of something like million acres of land for building the road, and has been exploiting this for rubber.
 The Inca Mining company has inn ported from the United States and car ried over this route stamps and mills and also a reduction plant sufficient to take care of 100 tons of daily. Among its other machinery is steamer, made in Chicago. that was brought down to the coast of the Pacific and carried over the mountains in pieces 700 miles being required for the transport.
 Entirely separate and apart from this Inca company is the Incaoro Mining com pany The former mine is in Peru; the

The Man Who Sought Justice
BY FLORENCE CROSS KITCHELT

the man with mission was lame. The brick wrapped in newspaper that he car ried grew heavy, but he would not let the friend touch it. Through the center of the city across the canal bridge. up an ugly street they trudged until they came to certain red brick building.
 The heeler with his sleek face and im- movable smile. came down the hallway, and bowed right and left to his superiors. Teodoro raised the brick and threw it. He had not planned where the brick should strike: he had only planned to throw it. It struck no one, only the wall. But it aroused thoughts in the mind of the sub agent. Teodoro gained his point--he was arrested. Like one in peace after great trouble he linped away to jail, and the friend went home.
 In his cell Teodoro kept repeating te himself in ecstacy. judge good judge have justice upon me! No misdemeanani I, but honest man. The fall in the model factory knocked the power out of my body. and the big insurance company held my hand half an hour to make me sigr away my maintenance. The babies died and Maria, my wife God knows how and the children are closed in the orphan age Good judge. have justice upon me-
 So Teodoro waited to see the good judge Suddenly one morning, four or five week later, they, called him. An intensity o hope and longing possessed him. He wa oblivious to the officers, the black wagon the ride. And the officials were obliviou to his rights. No one advised him tha he might and should have counsel. Trem bling with the emotion of his great pur pose, he, was passed into the room O justice.
 The judge began, What is your name?' and the young fellow translated.
 Agnello, Teodoro, and, oh, your honor come to you as one good and powerful who can make right great wrongs-
 Tell him to stop talking thunderet the judge. Has he got a lawyer?'
 "No.'
 'On the first day of August, about in the morning, in police headquarters did you throw brick at this gentleman here?"
 Teodoro nodded yes" and the immov able smile of the heeler, the city official the sub-agent of the Royal Insurance company. slightly broadened.

that he had small stocks on hand and no way of replenishing them. Jules Webber of Pate de foi gras assumed a similar attitude of silence. but the facts have leaked out and Broadway is threading the day when it will have nothing better than, domestic wines from which to get its inspiration and energy for indulgence in the tango and it's kindred Terpsichorean mazes.
 Don't get the idea that those songs generally referred to as popular rep resent the taste of the public here.

New York, August 22.-tSpecial.) Every indication in New York at this time points to an early beginning of the fall season. The thrush of the tourist refugees has done it's share tow ard hastening it, for among them are many of that class which must have it's diversion and amusement though the sword of Mars be crim- soned with the blood of all Europe.
 As result Broadway is changing perceptibly. Here and there one reads of the coming premiere of a new play; glapces in the hotels and restaurants show that these places are redecorat- ing, refitting and generally rejuvenat- ing, while all along the white light section of the great thoroughfare elec- tricians and their corps of assistants are busy with the installation of new electric signs that are to add their gilt ter and their lure to Alba Vias fas- cination.
 Around Times square the raucous tones of the omnipresent actor are heard announcing to his sidewalk au- dience that Klaw & Erlanger are still moving heaven and earth to procure his signature to a seasons contract, While even the unSp6dkaple dpPdroi oA the Broadway belles and Fifth avenue femininity indicates the end of the reign of summer, which really never comes into It's own upon this up-east island so frequently famed by the cool ing breezes fresh from the Atlantic's waves.
 In fact. the fall season is already virtually at hand and any man appear ing upon Broadway in one of those light weight suits of the linen or palm beach varieties is sure to be ao- costed by the spieler for the sight seeing cars, who will want to show him all Manhattan for the insignificant sum of s1.
 And so. while the nations of Flu ropo are tearing at each other's s throats and even America hears an ominous rumble in the far east. New York goes right ahead with it's annual preparations for the entertain ment of its millions. And as mat ter of fact seated in one of the high class cabaret restaurants, or hotels, with wine. woman and enough to pay the bill and tip, war and it's horrors seem very, very far away-somehow THE BLOODY AGES AND TODAY.
