GOLD IN AUSTRALIA.

"Western Australia at present pro-
duces over five millions sterling of
gold per annum," said the president
of the chamber Of mines of western
Australia, in the course of his annual
address. eve believe that the aurif.
erous resources of the state have as
yet been nothing like explored, and
that they are capable of very great
expansion. The sooner we open up
more profitable mines in the huge
areas of mineral-bearing country
which this state possesses the better
it will be not only for this state but
for the wider interests of the whole
empire" In support of this opin-
ion it is reported that a rich find of
gold has occurred near the Phoenix
leases, Coolgardie, resulting in a rush
of prospectors. At a depth of rs feet
a lode was struck carrying coarse
gold. There is considerable activity
in the Gibraltar district, and repre-
sentatives of important financial in

to a Quivering halt before the central

"All right answered Barns blankly,
but he was too well acquainted with
POe's methods to ask useless qnes-
lions.
Poe began at once his circnit OF the
shows employing East Indians. He
paid everywhere with a ten or twenty
dollar bill, and always stuffed the
notes he received In change into a
separate pocket, without more than
gIancing at them. At each show he
inquired the name of the manager. and
secured several addresses.
Finally, having found nothing of i'm
mediate interest, and 1t being almost
time to rejoin Burns. he slipped back
to the polIce-station. and, picking out
a vacant corner In the vestibule. turn
ed his back TO the door. rapidly thumb

PRIEST AND HOUSEKEEPER
DIE BY INCENDIARY FIRE
Parish House Of Greek Catholic
Church in Cleveland, Ohio, Is
Practically Destroyed.

CLEVELAND. January 2.-Rev. Ste
phen Makara, pastor of st. Johns
Greek Catholic Church, Scovill avenue
and East ed street, and his house
keeper, Mrs. Fedor, were burned to
death early tday, when fire practically
destroyed the parish house directly at
the rear of the church. Police believe
the fire was of incendiary origin.
Mr.. Makara was found dead in his
bed, when firemen finally fought their
way through the flames which had
gained much hsadway before an alarm
was turned in. The housekeeper was
lying in the hallway near Mr. Makara's
room, where she is believed to have
been overcome while fastening to
arouse the priest
Mr.. Makara came here from Phila-
delphia two years ago. Mrs. Fedor had
been his housekeeper only since Tues
day.
Police today learned that Mr. Makara
was assaulted by two men November
10, and that he was released from a
hospital only few days ago. These
two men, according to the police, beat
the priest with clubs and robbed him
of S147 and his citizenship papers. The
attack took place in front of the parish.
That the men who attacked the priest
robbed him to conceal the real motive
of the attack is the belief of the police
