stock Lode proflted Little by
Their Great Luck.

The famous Comstock lode, greatest
OF silver deposits, was discovered in
1859 by three prospectors, Pete o.
Riley, Pat Mclaughlin, and "Old Pan
cake" Comstock, while washing gravel
for gold. They were In hard luck.
Needing water for their rockers, they
dug hole four feet deep and came
upon n bed Of sllphide Of silver. Not
knowing what it was they tried 1t for
gold, with highly satisfactory results,
though cursing the internal blue
sand" that cloggcd their primitive ap-
paratuS
The blue sand was an outcrOppins OF
the wonderful lode, one vein OF which,
300 feet wide, came afterward to be
known as the "Big Bonanza" yielding
ore that was nearly half silver. From
this source were derived the multimll-
lions Of Mackny, Flood, O'Brien and
Fair-the last-namcd being a young
mining engineer while the other three
were everyday miners. The discoverers

Devon People Believe Sight Of spanish
Flag on British Ship Angered
Admiral Drake.

Anyone who knows the villages OF
the west OF England will be aware
that they are fertile soil for all man
ner Of superstitious beliefs. And the
process Of creating new legends has
evidently not yet come to an end, IL
we may accept statement made at
recent women's institute meeting at
Exeter, at which various speakers re-
counted the traditions Of their respect
i've localities. A few years ago the
battle ship Montague was wrecked on
Lundy island as she was entering the
Bristol channel in fog. The people
Of the nelglfforhood, we are told, have
no doubt that she was lured TO her
doom by tho spirit Of Sir Francis
Drake. She happened to be flying the
Spanish flag In honor Of the marriage
Of King Alphonso and Princess Ena.
This the proud ghost Of Devon's great
seaman could not brook, and he made
her pay the penalty by running her
upon the rocks.-Manchester Guardian

"New, children" the teacher said,
"suppose we wished to go to Calcutta,
how would we proceed? You tell us,
Tommie?"
"rd get on the train and go to New
York." Tommle responded promptly,
then paused.
"Yes2" the teacher encouraged.
''Then I'd get steamship" Tommie
answered and sat down.
"But you haven't told us the route
you would follow" teacher protested.
Again Tommie rose.
"Oh, I would not butt in on that
he declared. "I'd leave that to the ship
