The Sand Is Full of the Precious Metal and There Is Little Labor Needed to Get It Out. SKATTLE, Oct. IK Letters from St. Michaels, Alaska, tell of the remarkable gold igglngs about Cape Nome on Norton Sound, Bering Sea. Alaska, situated about 22.1 miles north ami west of the mouth of the Yukon River, or 135 miles from this point.

Gold was first discovered on Snake river last fall and during the earlier portion of the season, rase Nome district hart Required considerable repute as a gold frod'ictr, and not a few miners from the Yukon River country, many of them stranded here, went over to Nome and either staked such claims as they could get or secured work as they could find it. Much complaint was made that claims had been taken by persons holding powers of attorney, their principals not being present in person, and in June the Cape Nome district had become bo unpopular that reports were circulating to the effect that the whole thing was a "fake" foisted' on the public by the transportation companies to improve their business. Whatever of truth may have been In these stories is now of small Import, for In June or early July sutne cne of the stranded miners tenting on the beach, as the onlv unclaimed space, discovered gold In the sand at his feet. He told his story quickly among his stranded fyiends, and soon all the unemployed were at work on beach with any and all kinds of tools that would dig. Their success was such that within a few days men who had "worked on claims along the ereek at $10 a day and board threw up their jobts and took to the beach, expecting to earn, and actually earning, in many instances, as much in an hour as they had earned in a day.

Never had such easy mining been heard of. never had it been found so unexpectedly and so opportunely, and it was riot long before everything else was deserted for the seashore, and even women and boys of 10 or 12 years were to Le found as busy In the sand as the men were. Since the discovery the number of "beach combers." a.s they are called, has steadily Increased, and to-day is presented the strange sight of hundreds of miners of both sexes and all ages and conditions strung out along the beach for a dozen miles or more. Kor miles to the west of Cape Nome the beach runs straightaway in a strip of tide land, varying from 40 to 60 feet in width between high and low water mark, extending up to the "-tundra." or black alluvial soil, which Is from three to five feet higher than the beach proper. All of this tundra and the territory along the creeks and rivers east and went for 30 or 40 miles and back into the mountains for 10 or 12 miles had been staked, but on the long strip of tide lands no man had a better claim than another could have under the tide land other or could have under the tide land laws, and here the grand army of gold seekers camped and in very short order had converted the barren strand into a site of tremendous and enthusiastic industry.

At the same time business of all kinds began to respond the boom from the beach, and the usual collection of gambling hells, saloons and dance halls went into operation. At present it estimated that 1000 to ISO miners are at work on the beach, extending west for 20 miles. All these work with rockers, and they occupy just as much territory to the man or group as can work it. It is not unusual for. one small square bit of beach to pan out $10 to $15 an hour, but of course the space Is soon exhausted and the lucky digger must move to another Spot.

This beach deposit of gold is as yet an unsolved problem. By some It Is claimed thnt the gold in the sand, which is entire-l "dust," has been washed out from the tundra by the waves at high tide and deposited through hundreds of years in the sand. It is found here now from two to five feet the surface in the drift, and so plentiful that the miner who does not find It in paying quantities is the exception. On the other hand, there are some who claim that the gold i washed from the sea. and that the real field or "mother lode," so to speak, is to be reached and developed by dredging.

There may be something in this theory, but the other seems to be the more tenable. The beach to the east of Cape Nome makes no such gold showing as does the beach to the owing to the existence of a long reach of water or "lagoon," which lies a short distance back from the sea and parallel with it.

ANDERSON, Oct. 28. "Wrapped up In this little grain of corn is a germ of life that has retained its vitality over 3000 years, though the life of a corn germ is but from five seven years, ordinarily. This kernel connects us with that unknown past of the Mississippi Valley, and inclosed within its nusk Is convincing proof that king corn has degenerated." Dr. Cullen, a scientist and a prominent man of this city, made this state ment as he picked up an ordinary looking raln of vellow corn from his table.

Con tinuing his story, which is fully authenti cated, he said: "Just south of this city, on the Dempsy vVaggy farm. Is being grown the most wonderful corn crop In the country. A few of these grains have been put in touch with nature, after lying 3000 years, and the result, I believe, is the most remarkable demonstration of vitality in the history of the world. The growing corn itself It a marvel. The field looks like a forest, and it will run from 150 to 200 bushels an acre.

"It will be remembered that when the excavations at Pompeii were begun some years ago a baker's shop was unearthed and loaves were found in the oven that were still intact, and 'that a few weeks later wheat was found in some old jars that had been hermetically sealed by tne lava covering them. Thus buried under strata impervious to the elements and kept perfectly dry, the grain had lay since the lava from Vesuvius poured down and blotted out Pompeii and Herculaneum. Experiments made by the Royal Museum of Kngland demonstrated the fact that these grains had retained the germ of life, and when planted thev spouted and grew as if they had been the grain of the previous harvest. "In opening the earth and stone works of the prehistoric peoples of this continent a great many pots of corn have been found. The receptacles in many cases have been hermetically sealed and when opened the grain looked as bright and 'lively' as If it had been put away but a few weeks instead of for ages.

But when experiments were made It was found the germ of life had departed from the grain. "On the Waggy farm, however, corn Is growing that is the descendant of a crop gTOwn in Arkansas not less than laUO and possibly as much as 4O00 years ago. I believe that, with the exception of the Pompeii wheat, this is the most remarkable growth of vegetation In history. "Three years ago I was hunting In Arkansas. I was laid up with my companions several days at a point named Marked Tree.

While I was there some archaeologists, who had been studying the mounds of the valley, arrived and began work at that point. They, made the usual findings and nothing There were many trinkets, and deeper were found bones of humans. "In a hermetically sealed receptacle they found several skeletons and some jars of corn, which was not uncommon. The corn was carefully put away. The jars were made airtight, either by the people who buried them or by the action of the sur rounding substances.

Dike other corn which had been round, it was Drignt. ary. sona ana The explorers confiscated this corn, but gave me a handful, which I wrapped in my handkerchief and later threw into my hunting outfit and brought home, where it lay over one winter. "The archeologists estimated that the remains which they uncovered at Marked Tree had been Interred from 2500 to 3000 years. I do not know what became of the rest of the seed, but the next year the corn was turned over to Waggy and planted in one corner of his field.

It was a surprise when the tiny blades shot through the ground. Tne corn grew marvelously fast, and as it developed it showed new marvels every day. When matured the stalks reached 12 feet in height in some cases, and they are as thick at the ground as a man's wrist. "There are no leaves nearer than three feet from the ground. Three then shoot out.

They are heavy and long. resemDiing a cactus leaf in some respects. About two feet farther up are the ears of corn. Many stalks bear six and none has fewer than four ears. At this rate the yield would run 250 bushels.

"Above the ears the stalk continues three or four feet and is capped by an elaborate 0001 Th? husks surrounding the ears are heavy, and as the corn matures they break and curl bacK. revealing a nrm, car The erains are solid and ex ceptionally good for feeding. The roots of the plant are long and bury themselves deep In the ground. While other corn suf fered on acoount or tne aroutn tne prcnis-torlc corn has been green and healthy, vioninir the cron. one cannot but be con vinced that corn is degenerating, if this was the beginning of what we have to-day." Indiana farmers are breeding their corn tnst thp same as thev breed their stock for cross-breed effects, and the experiments are not onlv interesting, but are proving meet remunerative.

No wise farmer fails to cross the breed or nis live iock at times to infuse new and better life. Still the majoritv of them have gone on year after year, without thinking that the same thing applies to bearjf, peas, corn and other vegetable crops. Hut now Darwinism and Huxleyism are being put to work in the vegetable world, and of all the experiments none Is more interesting than the marriage of two kinds of corn. As a basis. It must be remembered that it has been found that sex rules in the vegetable as well as in the animal kingdom.

For experimenting with corn It is customary to take two varieties that are as near alike as possible in their life and in maturing. Then plant in alternate rows, red and yellow or yellow and white or red and white, whatever the two kinds are. When the tassel appears ride between the rows on horseback and putl the tassels from one row only. This will destroy the pollen from one and leave the silks to be fertilized from the pollen of the other variety. The row with the tassel untouched wKl self-fertilize, as Is usual in cornfields, and will fertilize the row from which the tassels have been pulled.

The corn grown upon the row with no tassels thus will he crossbred. Removing the tassel will not check the growth. The pollen grains are secreted in the little Hnthers. which, a short time after the appearance of the tassel, hang like so many diminutive Chinese lanterns from its Thev are divided into two apartments and shed the golden dust through the round holes in the bottom The silks are covered with a mucilaginous substance and show a natural affinity for the pollen.

He Lives in a Fortress Which Guards Rare Treasures Even His Stable Is Paved With Rare and Costly MILWAUKEE, Oct. 28. If you believe one of the Romanys of Milwaukee, then thn richest mar.

in North America is not one of the Vanderbilts, Astors or Rockefellers, but a simon-pure gypsy whose name is simple John Smith. He lives In Mexico, Is 80 years old and the owner ot countless acres; of myriads of cattle and sheep; of gold, silver and onyx mines; of railway and bank stock, and of plantations without number in the heart of Mexico's richest States. Smith's wealth has never been figured up. He cannot tell himself. His eole ambition is to become the richest man in the world.

And it Is this hope that keeps him vigorous and drives dull care away. John Smith has no settled home; he has a hundred homes on his different estates and he moves from one to another. In each he sees what is going on and gives his or- 1 ders. Then he moves on again. The Milwaukee gypsy, a solid business man.

who comes home now with the story of John Smith's amazing wealth, saw him at Orizaba. They became great friends. "God alone knows how rich I am." said Smith, simply, "but I think I am the richest man on the continent." Smith was plainly dressed In a suit of English tweed, with noonan snoes. nut nis home was a Outside It was a veritable fortress with stout walls of loonholed for defense. If necessary.

A two-story wall inclosed it In a space as big as two blocks and a great moat surrounded that. There were the regulation drawbridges and portcullises. Two massive Inner doors barred the last entrance. Once open It was a wonderful place, with a courtyard in the center, where played perfumed fountains and where a beautiful garden grew. The entire incloe-ure was paved with brilliantly polished onyx the ransom of a king in cost taken from one of his mines.

Even the stables where Smith's herd of pet Jerseys were housed had the same costly flooring of onyx. Servants lounged about, but one of the old man's eccentricities was to have his own children wait upon him at table. It was an incongruous picture to see him clattering around on the splendid flooring in his coarse suit and hobnails, while a soft light fell on the strange scene shed by great candelabra of solid gold from his mines. Smith is an English gypsy. He went to Mexico before there were any railways there and was the first man to haul machinery from the coast to the gold mines, which now yield him an incalculable income.

He got in on the ground floor on everything that has made Mexico so rich to-day. But his life has been a series of adventures. Twice he has been shot down by Mexican thieves who attacked his gold trains. He was left for dead each time. All the gypsies In Mexico are wonderfully proud of him and call him "Our John." WEDI1NG KEPT SECRET William De Wolf Hopper, Actor, and Miss Nellie Bergen Quietly Married in London.

to the Pout-Dispatch. MILWAUKEE. Oct. 28 Rev. Jacob Van Doren of Fond du Lac was found guilty by the Milwaukee Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church, which reached a decision last evening after consideration of his case at length.

The Presbytery decided to deliver a formal rebuke to the aged minister at a session to be held at the Y. M. C. A. building in this city.

Nov. 14. The aged preacher was found guilty of of the four charges preferred against him as follows: Deep disrespect to the judiciary with which he is united; use of language unbecoming a minister of the gospel and a Christian, and contrary to the spirit en-Jilned by the apostles; openly charging the chairman of the ministerial relief committee with being dishonest in his promises. The fourth charge, alleging false statements, was not sustained. The Rev.

Van Doren. at the conclusion of the session, announced his determination to appeal to the Wisconsin Synod, on account of the alleged prejudice of his judges. He claims that he was not given a fair trial, because some of his Judges were witnesses against him, and he sought a change of venue to the Winnebago Presbytery, but this application was put aside and the hearing was had. It is thought that the Rev. Mr.

Van Doren will make It interesting for the men who have convicted him. He has been a free lance for many years and has not hesitated to make charges against his brethren of the cloth. To 3e Continued. From the Philadelphia Bulletin. "This article a hunt grain lan't all here.

GOLD FINDS III CEBU PHILIPPINE ISLAND MAY BE AN EL DORADO.

ONE OFFICERS OBSERVATION. Thinks With. Peace Will Come a Bush Greater Than That to Frozen Klondike. MADISON, Oct. 28.

Lieut. L. A. Curtis of the Twenty-second Infantry writes as follows from Manila, Sept. 5: "If the stories now coming into Manila are true the Philippines will experience a rush of gold miners such as not even the Klondike has witnessed.

Even granting that the Philippine gold deposits are not so rich as those of Alaska, there are many other factors that tend to make the rush greater. To begin with, It Is easier to reach the Philippine gold fields, notwithstanding their greater distance from the 'States. In the next place there Is no danger of starvation, the price of provisions is low and the miners can. if necessary, live off the country. The tedious process of melting the' earth, the long hours of labor to get fuel for the winter, all this will be eliminated in the Philippines.

"This week there has returned from the island of Cebu. the long, narrow Island lying to the east of Negros, some 400 miles south of aMnila, a prospector who has found indications that Cebu is a coming El Dorado. The island has not been pacified and the two explorers took their lives in their hands when they penetrated the island. Under the circumstances they could not conduct any very thorough investigations. But they found all the surface indications of rich gold fields.

They panned loose earth and obtained excellent results, showing that the bedrock beneath was rich indeed. Colors can be found anywhere and all of the streams contain the black gold-bearing sand. Placer mining can be conducted profitably, but It Is in the lodes that the miner will make his greatest fortune. So far $30 and $40 have been panned from the soil In a single day, but the bedrock is supposed to be much richer than the soil. "It has long been known that gold existed In the streams of Mindanao, the large island at the southern end of the archipelago, the second largest in the group.

Some Jesuit fathers followed up these streams a great many years ago. but the hostile tribes prevented them from making any discoveries. Mindanao was never conquered by the Spanish and was hardly under even nominal control until within the last 30 years. Beyond a few fortified towns on the eost the Spanish had no hold there, and consequently the mineral Sympathy may help a wounded heart but it won't heal a wounded limb. That fact is so obvious that you wonder why any one can offer sympathy as the chief feature of treatment for the delicate diseases of women.

Yet women are invited to write to a woman who can sympathize with woman," and the theme of their correspondence is to be the delicate, difficult and dangerous diseases which undermine a woman's health and strength. It is true that such offers are combined with an offer of "medical advice." But medical advice can only be given by a competent physician, and no mention is made in such offers of a physician's or doctor's advice. It is not offered because it cannot be given. The offer is not being made by a qualified physician. The offer of free consultation by letter, made to ailing women by Doctor R.

V. Pierce, has behind it a physician's ability. Dr. Pierce is consulting physician of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y.

Associated with Dr. Pierce is a staff of nearly a score of physicians, each man a specialist. In a practice of over thirty years Dr. Pierce and his staff have treated successfully more than half a million women, who have been cured of debilitating drains, inflammations, ulcerations and female troubles. The age, experience and skill of Dr.

Pierce give him a supreme advantage in his chosen field of diseases of women. You can write to Dr. Pierce without fear and without fee. Every letter is read privately and answered confidentially, the answer being sent in a plain envelope, without any printing upon it. Dr.

Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. andt Gout are caused by an, excess of uric acirl in the system. jUric acid is caused by a fermentation which takes place in the stomach instead of the usual process of digestion. This acid is absorbed into the blood until the system becomes saturated with it.

Rheumatism or gout follows. All medical, men now agree that where the digestion is normal neither rheumatism or gout can exist. It is clear then that to cure either of these painful disorders two things are necessary. The system must be relieved of the uric acid. This can be done by starving one's self (say for one to two weeks), so as to allow the uric acid to work itself oflf.or tlst by taking an antacid into the system as a corrective.

Second, a further supply of the uric acid must be issss possibilities of the island are only to be guessed at. But the rivers are far richer in gold than the Cebu streams. This would indicate that the gold deposits In the interior are far richer. Mindanao bids fair to be the first Island that will become the home of Americans across sea. New countries begin with a population of gold hunters.

Then farmers and traders to supply the gold hunters follow them and finally the country fills up with a population following varied pursuits. This has been the history of our own mountain States and will be the history of Mindanao. Although the population in Mindanao is warlike, it is scanty. There is a virgin soil awaiting the American settler. In other islands the native population is so great that the inducements for American agriculturists are not such as to attract any one with ambition.

The climate of Mindanao, although it is in the southern part of the archinelago. is cooler than in Luzon, and its rainfall is not so great. At present the population is friendly to Americans and the first settlers will have no trouble. As the country fills up with bold and resolute gold hunters, that in itself will be an army of occupation sufficient to hold in awe the most dar ing of the natives. "It was the attraction of gold mines that builf up our Pacific States.

If the gold mines of Cebu and Mindanao prove to be what is predicted, the Philippines will have a large American population within a generation. Gold will carry them Into the southern Islands. An Industrial population will follow the argonauts. Merchants, planters, exploiters, drawn by the security that an American population in part of the group will create, will flock into the Islands of the north, the Islands where an American industrial population will probably never live, owing to native, competition. NASHVILLE PENSIOtTfBJWDS Eleven Convictions Obtained by the Government in One We3k, With More to Follow.

To the Editor of the Poat-IMsoatoh. NASHVILLE. Oct. 28 There have been 11 convictions in pension fraud cases In the Federal Court here this week, and there w.ll probably be several others. Two more Indictments have been returned.

The Government has not lost a case so far. George A. Davis, who was sentenced to 13 months and fined 5oi, forged four arlhla-vlts In support of bjs mother's pension claim. They purported to show the death of the former husband of the applicant, whose existence made her attempted marriage to a sofflier void. Alice Black, now Smith, sentenced to one year and five days and fined was con victed of a charge of forging certa.n papers in her own pension claim as the widow of Peyton Black.

She was a genuine widow until she married Smith a year ago, and as such was entitled to a pension for the period of her widowhood, which the prosecution freely stated, but she. with Becky Stark, sentenced yesterday, forged affidavits of residents of this city. The crime wss wholly unnecessary, as she could have obtained the pension by proper means. The trial of John W. Hayes is In progress.

Hayes Is the negro who represented himself as a Government official, claiming to te a pension examiner. A venerable negro evangelist was on the witness stand yesterday and In response to the question as to whether he had ever been Indicted said: "I were indicted, hot It was while I was In my local capacity." Mathey Swope was sentenced to one year and one day for presenting a false claim and forgery. Rebecca stark was sentenced to IS month and fined for forgery and conspiracy. Rose Jackson was sentenced to one year and five days for securing a pension and fraudulent claim. She had been paid STpOHu.

John Karris was given 3) months for urging a false claim. BARONESS WILL GO FREE. Seven Years Ago She Killed Her Tan- ant in Indiana. KOKOMO. Oct.
