Hammond was going over the leases.
At last he asked:

"You mean the English bunch? Oh,
you'd better just sign the lease over
to me, then I can reconvey it. There
may be lot of red tape about it If
it's handled differently"
A half hour later, Hammond was
alone in his cabin, his bundle of pa
pers against resting in a hiding place
under the bunk. The ground on which
Mckenzie had labored was gone Ken
ming had taken the conveyed lease ov-
er to the recorders tent, for entering
under his name as owner. And Jack
stood there, thinking how queer was
gold; Mckenzie Joe had fought every
idea Bruce Kenning had advanced.
Now the land where he had worked
was of value only because it would
allow Kenning and himself to control
a veritable underground river Of gold
at another part Of the valley.

Kenning wrinkled his brow.

Suppose Big Moose hit some OBJ

result would have been a split of the

Don't call 'em friends. They're

scream and moved forward, Hammond
close behind her. The mans palms
were heaped with yellow gold; the wet
sand of deep gravel still chung to the
hulking nuggets.
"The gravel's choked with them!
Kenning said, in queer voice. Ham
mond stared at the yellow wealth.
"But how did it get here? Away

"a thousand years." answered Ken

Certainly. You can find gravel al
most anywhere. But for gold to be in

"We're not anywhere near bedrock, ~

"Not much danger of that" Ken

She turned again to the window. "Look

The maid of all work came nearer the

"Tea's about ready, Miss Kay" she

Raleigh, May 27.-No applications
for old age pensions, aid to dependent
children or to dependent blind per-
sons will be received by any of the
county wlfare boards until July 1. due
TO the fact that the county boards will.
not have the facilities to handle ap-
plications until that time, Mrs. w.
t. Bost, commissioner of public well
fare, said today. But beginning july
Il, applications will be received in
every county and pension and aid
benefit payments will be started as
soon as the applications are approved.
The application forms are now be-
ing printed, however and will be sent
to the various county welfare hoa~Is
carly in June, Mrs. Bost said. The
county boards have already cen as
ed to review all of the cases now ON
county relief, of which there are low
about 1000, in order to see how
many of these can be transferred July
to the old age pensions fund, or 20
aid for dependent children and The
blind. No estimate has leen made We.
as to how many of Ike 10000 cases
now being supported entirely by the
I'll.
State funds, can be tram ferred to the
public assistance program but Mrs
Bost believes large humber of these
can be shifted ever into one of thu
three divisions.
"All of the moillt rs aid cases,
heretofore supported entirely by the
counties and the State, can be trans
ferred to the dependent children Ill
vision. while good many of the old
er people now getting county aid, also
the blind, can be taken care of under
the new program Mrs Bost said
I'VE are asking the county welfare
boards to mako a careful survey Of
their relief lists and to investigate all
cases now on relief that can come un-
der the new prog am so they can start
getting the new assistance effective
July 1. We feel this work should be
d ne before any now cases or new ap-
plications are received. That is one
reason why we cannot consider any
new applications until July L."
The amounts which those who are
now on county relief will get each
month, if they are transferred to the
public assistance program. will be ma
terially increased, Mrs. Bost pointed
out. For the average monthly check
which the 10000 persons now on couE-
ty relief get is about $3.50, while the.
old age pension payments are expect
ed to run from $40 a month as high
as $50 month, and to average 1920
a month.
"NOw- that we know how much
money will be available for old age
pensions, aid to dependent children
and to the blind, we have been able to
figure out what the average monthly
payment per person will amount to,
Mrs. Bost said. ION the assumption
that approximately $4,000 persons will
be able to qualify for old age pensions,
or assistance, the average monthly
payment per person will amount to
1920. If there are approximately 70.
GOO children who qualify for aid, as
we have estimated, the average month
ly payment per child will be $5.6k

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

May 81, 1679-Charles II of England

Justice, Rober fancy, had denied the
right of President Lincoln to suspend
the writ OF habeas corpus, and had

Lincoln ignored the ruling asd ord

However, the pension payments may
run as high as $50 a month and the
to dependent children may
run as high as $18 per month per
child, under the maximum limits inn
posed by the law. It is expected, how
ever, that most of the old age pen
sion payments will average between
$40 and $40 a month, that the pay
ments for dependent children will run
from SIS to $40 month, depending up
on the needs of the individual cases..
The amount each person will receive
will be fixed by the county board OF
welfare after making a careful inves-
tigation of each case"
Today or tomorrow Mrs. Bost will
send to each board of county commits
sioners table showing the estimated
number of needy aged persons in each
county, the approximate amount OF
money the county will have to contri-
butte from general county funds as it's
share in the assistance program and
the approximate additional tax it Will
have to levy to raise the amount need
ed. if the county cannot pay 1t from
existing funds. The tax rate will be
weighted to make allowance for non
collection in the counties which have
a record for poor collections. The sug-
gcsted tax rate is based on 1887 valua-
tons. The public assistance law re-
uuires the counties to levy an addi-
tional tay to provide the funds needed
if they cannot be provided from pre-
sent county incomes.
