the stream One party whose grub had run short spent the summer there and took out many ounces. In coming out on the "Ghost" river all but one were lost.
 Then started a ne wlegend of lost field. The lone survivor went back, but never could find the old workings. He had eighty ounces of coarse gold. Year after year prospectors hunted for the lost fields. Five years ago a party of five went into the district, but could not locate the diggings.
 It is believed the Telegraph creek Indians have stumbled upon it.
 The grounds are 45 miles in a southeriy direction from Telegraph Creek.
 Another placer strike at Glacier Lake, about 25 miles from Stikine river, Is reported from Wrangell and group of Seattle miners aren won on their way into that region.
 Alex Campbell, another former Klondiker, and now a resident of Se- attle, left last evening with afparty to strike into the new region from the old Edmonton trail. He is taking in pack train and expects to spend the summer prospecting in the new dis trict.
 The, reports have started the for mer Alaskans and Klondikers into overhauling their old gear and pre- paring to start north> once. more, and several parties are already being formed in Seattle for a trek into the 1skut region to prospect the "Ghost' river and attempt to break the super stition among the Indians and old timers that the gold is guarded there by the spirits of the dead.

Hilary K. Adair, the noted detee- tive, said to San Francisco reporter:
 "Some people claim that criminals aren't clever. Well, what do you think of this for a clever dodge?
 "A chap who was doing ten years for arson escaped one afternoon, but still had his convict clothes on, and he couldn't wait around and loaf for night because they'd surely catch him if lie did
 Yes, 1t was necessary floor this ar son chap to make tracks through the busy prison town, and how do you think he managed it? We'll, sir, he took off his striped convict suit in an alley, then he rolled his under-d draw CTS up above the knee and his under shirt sleeves up to the schoulder, and then he tore lickety-split through the crowded Main street of that little town and out into the safe country where his friends were waiting.
 Nobody paid any attention to him, of course. They thought he was one of these runners training for mara thon or something"

taxpayers hs himself must provide the money for the town trsssury. The present tax collector has just dug down in his pockets for 3sb,- 900, which represents the total of de- linquent taxes to date.
 The town loses nothing; the tax collector runs the risk of playing angel to the town. If he fails to col- lect the s25,00o he may be a poor man at the end of his term.
 The system. of course. is ridicu- loua It is a relic of the days in New England when it was thought tax collector would be more efacient In collecting taxes If failure to be eth- cient meant that he would lose in pocket. Southtngton was among the towns which had the system and dropped it. Now only Torrington re- mains q lone survivor.
 The result: In Torrington the citizen who fails to pay his taxes doesn't beat the town but gives the financial drubbing to the poor tax collector.
 It is amazing that the town finds anyone willing to run the risk of be- ing tax collector. Only . super-opti- mist possessing an overpowering be- lief in the honesty of his fellow citi- gems would dare to hold the position.

WHO WROTE IT:

The Herald has received letter by reader in connection with the so called campaign to purify the lit- erature and near-literature of the city It is a we'll written and interest ing contribution to the discussion. The writer signed it "A Youth of To- day" and did not in addition give his name and address so that the ed- itor of this newspaper might know with whom he was dealing.
 This is against the rules. The Her aid must know the identity of cor respondents: not with a view of pub fishing their names in connection with their letters-a non-de- plume like "A Youth of Today" will do for this purpose-but as an evidence of good faith.
 Will the writer. when he reads this. kindly send in his name and ad- dress? If this is done promptly the Herald will be glad to publish the letter.

The year 1904 is destined to see considerable public activity in New Britain. Each branch of he city government has in view the making of improvements that will benefit the municipality and it's people of all classes. The street department expects $25.000 from town and city together and expects to macadamlzs South Main and Church streets. The fire department plans to purchase a pair of horses and save the $7O0 an- nual rental paid the H. R. Walker Co. Chairman Joseph k. Andrews of the police board wants four to six new men and plans to put some of the present ones on detective duty. The main thing in the school department is to get into the front part of the Grammar school huili- ing. which is still incomplete

AIR 1RAvuLERS ID FLY IN WING
Fusda6e of Proposed Rint to
 Tlke Nov Form

New York. Feb. 1l M - The transport plane of the future may be . giant flying wing" in which scores of passengers can be housed comfortably in luxurious compart- ments.
 Vincent Burnelli's successful dc. velopment of | new plane In which the fuselage takes the form of | wing section has led aeronautical experts to discuss tho possibilities of flying wing" with the fuse- lage - now the passenger carrying compartment - as 8 parliamentary section.
 Airplane designers realise that the fuselage, as such, must consti- tute q relatively small part of the plane. Even the development of mammoth wings, measuring 100 to l7s feet from tip to tip. will not ai- low the development of relatively larger fuselage with g very much greater carrying capacity. If heav- ier-thaE-air craft arc to carry SO. 70 or 100 passengers comfortably and safely, some new means of lifting such loads must be discovered by aerodynamio experts
 Burnelli's new 20 passenger plane is the latest achievement in the de- velopment of the fuselage to obtain lift ability from that relatively par asitic section.
 German designers are projecting the development of huge passenger carrying planes in which passen- gers will be assigned to luxurious compartments in the wings. The wing sections would be several feet thick and provide ample cetl- ing room. The engines would bs on the leading edge of the wing, appearing much like the two en- zines in the nose of Burnelli's new plane. Eight, 10 or 12 engines would be used.
 Burnelli's plane, one of the lars- est yet developed in the United States, has fusclage Il feet wide. Ten overstuffcd. chairs and two davcnports are in the living com partment, built to suit the tastes of r. W. Chapman, wealthy finan- cier. A kitchen has an electric stove, while a we'll furnished wash room has been built into the rear end of the fuselage on the right side.
 The plane. now undergoing per- formance tests in the hands Of | Lieut.. Leigh Wade, is the first of fleet of 20 to be operated between New York and Chicago.

Roman Gold Discovered
 By Austrian Diggers

Vienna, Feb. 14 R,-Gold believed buried sixteen centuries ago by Ro- man legionnaires has been found ill a field at Hanfnerbach, near Vienna, during boring tests for water.
 At a depth Of 24 feet the diggers found rich deposits of gold dust mixed with clay and earth. several ounces of pure metal being obtained from every few handfuls of earth.
 Mining experts believe Roman legionnaircs originally took tho gold from nearby river and hid it in it's present location for safekeeping during an attack from migratory tribe. Ii is assumed the Romans intended to send their treasure to Rome 10 be minted. but probably suffered defeat and were forced to abandon their wealth.
