UNCOVER RICHES IN RUSSIA
Development of Mineral Deposits, Re-
tarded by Autocrscy, Now Likely
TO Be Rapid.

As In everything else, the old re-
gime of Russia had its strange hold
on the gold industry. Siberia and the
Ural could be considered the classical
parts of the world where deposits of
precious minerals abound and under
free and progressive government
they could easily lead all the other
parts of the world, says the Russian
American Journal of Commerce. The
Russian press is full Of news items
chronlcIlng new discoveries of gold
and platinum deposits, as well as
other rare metals.
So from Krasnoyarsk, In Siberia,
came the news that in the northern
and southern Enisey mountain dis
tricts the gold seekers have lately
washed gold to the amount Of about
$3.50 pounds. From the Lena, well
known as a gold-bearing river, comes
the word that new rich gold and plati-
mum deposits were discovered on her
tributaries, Willy and also Markha.
With the laying of the tracks of the
Amur railroad there is almost con-
tinuous procession of discoveries of
new deposits of precious metals. espe-
cially on the Rivers Burea and Khara !;
all the deposits are not far from the
new laid tracks and offer all the OPP
portunities for successful develop
ment of the newly discovered deposits.

for road machine work, preparing unim-
proved sections OF road for maintenance, pro-
Fiding the town will furnish like amount,

NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES.

NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES.
An interesting article entitled 1.-THE
School Library and the School," written
by Miss Mary c. Richardson, daughter of
Principal Richardson, appeared in The
Journal of the New York State Teachers
association for January. She calls stten-
ton to the fact that the library is the
mental laboratory OF the school, having
it's own loots with the use of which every
pupil must become acquainted if he is not
to be handicapped III all his school work.
Miss Richardson has been asked to re-
wise that part of the n. Y. State Syllabus
in English which has to do with the lists
of recommended books to read.
A hard-times party for the benefit OF
the Red Cross was held IN the dining
room at Richardson hall, Saturday even
ing, and reflected much credit upon
Misses Bessie Clark and Minnie Harding
who had general charge. The price OF
admission was is cents, and any person
wearing iewelry was charged 2 cents for
each article. Two OF the teachers who
came insultingly bedecked with jewelry
were held up to the scorn of the as
SENT led company as slaves to fashion.
The proceeds from the party were $l1.
''Uncle Tom" and "Topsy," "Alphonso"
and "Gaston," and "Old Black Joe" aud
his wife were present, the two last named
furnishing music for some of the dances.
After the program there were refresh
ments OF popcorn in brown paper, and
water served in tin cups.

rss regular city meeting was held

present. ..,o ,.a
- in behalf OF Mrs. Annie s. Maddocks
- nsr claim for damages for personal in
80 nv a fall on an icy sidewalk on
ycs,,stmas day. He described the circum-
~..nces of the accident and the nature OF
re injuries, and suggested that the board
.onsider the question OF making some re-
r.uperation. No action was taken by the
board.
"A Z. Hamlin, chairman OF the local fuel
administration board, appeared before the
.osrd to discuss the fuel situation for
another winter, especially as to fuel wood.
rhe situation another winter, IL the war
continued another year, would be ex-
,,smeiy serious as regards fuel. There
vas no certainty that any coal, or at least
snaugh to meet requirements, would he
received.
The State wood fuel administrator had
.usgested in letter to MIR. Hsmiin three
means OF meeting the emergency. He
animated that Ellsworth should have a
supply of 5000 cords cut now for next
winters use. One way was to induce
n,ivate individuals to establish a wood
yard, another was for the city government
10 appoint a large committee to induce
ownerslof woodlots to cut wood, and the
fnird, and the one most favored by the
State fuel administration, was for the city
TO establish a municipal woodward. 1t
vas also suggested by Mr. Hamiin that
individuals should be urged, each for
himself, to look out now for his supply
Of wood for next winter.
The matter was discussed by the board
hter ia the evening, and each alderman
was requested to investigate conditions
in his ward. Alderman Brown expressed
the opinion that not Is much cord wood
was being cut this winter as last, one
reason for this being the difficulty OF
obtaining choppers, and the diversion of
40 many choppers, woodiot owners and
teams from cordwood to pu lp~ood, owing
70 the prevailing high prices paid for
puipwood.

OF Chateau-Thierry Still Hammer
ing Retrcating Germans.

Washington, July 27.-Trained COM
batant American troops from France
have begun to arrive in Italy, General
March told the newspaper men to-
day.
Two additional American army
corps have been organized in France,
the fourth and fifth commanded by
Major Generals George w. Reed and
Omar Bundy, Gen. March said.
Summing up the Aisne-Marne sit
uation, Gen. March said that official
advices showed that the allies had
forced the Germans back eleven miles
further from Paris and shortened the
allied line ten miles.
The allied position on the flanks
of the salient near Scissors and
Rheims is relatively unchanged.
The German withdrawal from
Chateau-Thierry continues. The al
lies are within three and a-half miles
from Fere- -Tardenois and that town
is under constant shell fire. The most
striking advance since Wednesday,
Gen. March said, was by the British
just west of Rheims. The German at
| tack at Epieds only delayed the Amer
leans and they are again moving
! forward.

BUY NO FIREWORKS.
Merchants Advised That Sale VIII
Probably be Prohibited.

Columbia, July 26.-This is the sea-
son when merchants who deal in fire.
works usually buy their supplies for
the Christmas trade. This year, how
ever. when the government is making
every effort to eliminate waste, al
though no official order has been is
sued forbidding the use of fireworks.
1T is felt in many quarters that the
sale should be absolutely eliminated.
1t is really left for the merchants of
South Carolina to say whether this
shall be done, or if they decline, as
whole, to lay in stocks of fireworks.
none will be available at Christmas
time, and the money that would be
uselessly spent burning up gun pow
der, will be used for other purposes.
Furthermore, it is believed by many
that government order may later be
issued, in which event, merchants who
have stocked up on fireworks would be
forbidden to sell them.

Premier Lloyd George Gives Warning
to Strikers,

London, July 26.-Premier Lloyd
George tonight announced in behalf Of
the government that all men who are
wilfully absent from work on or after
Monday next will be deemed to have
voluntarily placed themselves outside
the munitions industries. Protection
certificates will cease to have effect
and the men will become liable to the
provisions of the military service act,
the premier added.
The statement pointed out that cer-
tain workers had quit their jobs in
disregard Of their leaders and remain
ed idle aginst the advice Of the un-
ion advisory committee.
They have ceased work." the state
ment said, mot in pursuance of q
trade dispute, but in an endeavor to
force the government to change a nat
ional policy essential to the prosecu-
tion of the war.
while millions of their fellow coun-
trymen hourly are facing danger and
death for their country, the men ON
strike have been granted exemptions
from these perils only because their
services are considered more valu-
able to the state in the workshops than
in the army"
