REVIVE OLD
GOLD LEGEND

BRIDGEPORT, Calf. Aug. 3.
(U.H-A legend of gold, based on
the tragedies of a Mexican and a
Scotchman, is one of the tales told
In isolated Mono county of the high
Sierra section.
The story had origin in 1870,
when a carefree Mexican, a rider
for Jesse Summers, was herding
cattle near here. Returning to the
ranch, the Mexican tossed piece
of rock to George Pettigrew, a
Scotchman, of the Summers cow
boy band.
There was strong friendship
between the two. Old-timers say
that Pettigrew was overjoyed when
the Mexican told him he was to
be his partner and that they would
go out to stake joint claim on
the spot where he had found the
rock the next Sunday.
The Scotchman IS elation was well
founded, for it was discovered that
the rock assayed half gold.
But fate took a hand. Rancher
Summers ordered the Mexican to
accompany a drive of beef cattle
to the boom town of Bodie. Hard
ly had the cattle been disposed of
when the Mexican went to one of
the gayest establishments. Gamb-
ling was in full sway. Drinks
flowed.
The stage was set for something
to happen. He became embroiled
with another Mexican. Knives
flashed. The young Mexican fell
mortally wounded, to the floor. He
died without disclosing the secret
of his gold lode.
George Pettigrew kept the gold
laden stone for many years. FIRE.
Quently he searched for a clue. to
the Mexican treasure. Pettigrew
died, without success. Modern gold
seekers also have been unsuccess-

OCEAN LINERS
MAY SOON RUN
INTO MEMPHIS

MEMPHIS, Aug. 3. U.P)-Ocean
freighters may steam up the Miss
issippi to Memphis the latter part
of 1888, it is claimed.
Negotiations looking toward the
establishment of such service are
underway. A representative OF a
steamship line has been in COM
munication with A. P. FAINT, in
dustrial director of the chamber
of commerce, relative to putting
the project in operation. Other
interests have signified their in
tention of establishing ocean
freight service to Memphis, via
the Mississippi. if the plan proves
feasible
Such a service would eliminate
costs of transferring cotton and
other commodities shipped by riv-
or barges from the barges to ocean
going vessels at New Orleans.
There is no reason at all why
small ocean freighters with draft
of not more than IL to IA feet
could not clear from Memphis for
foreign ports" declared Major
w. M. Hogue, acting chief of U. s..
Engineers, Memphis district.
Major Hogue said the bridges
over the Mississippi are sufficient
ly high for freighters to go be-
meath them without difficulty.
Recent opening of the Great
Lakes to Gulf Waterways has
stimulated interest in the posi-
bility of ocean freighters for Men,

LONDON, Aug. 8. tU.P)-More
Cockneys were born in July, 1888,
than in the whole seven years
preceding the month. For the FAM
Gus bells of the church of St.
Mary-le-B Bow pealed out again aft
er a seven-year silence on July 7.
The proper definition of Cock
ney" is one who was born within
the sound of Bow Bells.
The largest bell on this ancient
church is the tenor bell called
"The Great Bell of Bow" and was
first cast in 1869, and recast in
1888 and returned this year. 1t
weighs more than az tons.
The bells date back long before
1866, the date of the Great Fire
of London, and following the con-
flagration the church was rebuilt
by Sir Christopher Wren.
The long silence of the bells has
been due to the necessity of re-
repairing the bells themselves, and
repairing the bells themselves, and
the hearts of all true Cockneys
now will rejoice.

Leather Trade
Goes To Canada

MONTREAL, Aug. 3. W.P) - The
Dominion of Canada has replaced
the United States as leading ex-
porter of leather goods to Great
Britain. according to the Montreal
Board of Trade.
Aided by the preferences accord
ed her under the terms of trade
agreements drawn up during the
Imperial Economic conference in
1882, Canada not only has ousted
the United States to a large extent
from British leather markets, but
also has increased her exports to
her neighbor itself, it is revealed.
Figures compiled up to March,
1888, reveal that Canada nearly
tripled her leather exports to the
United States during the past two
years, and during the same time
exported more leather goods to
British markets than the United
States did.

Gold Mining In
Canada Increases

MONTREAL. Aug. 8. W.p) - A
prediction that 1888 will be one of
the greatest years in the history
of Canadian gold production is
made by DR.. Charles Camsell. Dep
uty Minister of Mines in the DOM
inion government.
Great development, he said, is
going on both in Northern Onta-
rio and Quebec and also in two
fields in British Columbia. The
curve of price and production is
rising steadily.
"The distinguishing fact this
year. DR.. Camsell said, "is that
the mine operators are getting an
unusual price for gold, consider
ing its nominal value. This pro-
vides profit for the exploitation of
claims which have not been de-
veloped for lack of capital and
also encourages new prospecting
Last years gold production. of
nearly s70,000,000 promises to be
materially exceeded this year"
