The mine lies between two high mountains, a quarter of a mile from the ItoaM residence. From the housa the path has been worn ^ooth and deep by-thirteen years of travel Wk and forth by this persistent old man, firm la his faith that some day he would go doim the hill in the morn ing a poor man and come back up at cieht rich beyond his fondest dreams. The gold is scattered through the rock in different places in very mi nute particles, being rarely discern ible. Mr. Mease terms it Sour gold, &«e milting. Several times he has pounded up pieces of the rock very fine, he says, and panned it, getting a recovery in the bottom of the pan of Hour gold mixed with particles of heavy sand, of which the rock is part ly composed. He further states that the gold is of a much higher grade than California gold. The character of the ore leads to the belief that it can be profitably treated with a simple stamp-miU. This is not the first discovery of gold in Marion sad Baxter counties, ia Arkansns, but the as^ys showed such small returns that commercial ly the ore had no value. In some in stances gold has also been found as sociated with iron ore and iron py rites in small quantities, but was not of commercis] value because it could be separated successfully because the per cent, to the ton was toe small to pay. Except a few wild-catters, no one has ever looked for the richer min- ends is the hills, the miners and pros pectors devoting all their time and re search of the prospecting for and mining of lead and zinc. There are legends, however, that have been handed down year after year froni father to son that tell of gold in the hills, of Spaniards raining here in the early days and of mines known to the Indians. These have been regarded for the most part as mythical. It may be possible that the cave in which Mr. Mease started his tunnel was the working of some Spaniard and that by chanco he discovered a location that had been worked for gold before.' a-coauiMioiMd cflem ia tkn FWI- ;t«i stor NewUnds p -Med o«t ttiai iipinM vitt b« bivvght vni hm mad minority laumbers :i be five ittacM w tlMir biftOM Iff ^hU doM not iwiiiira lacisiatioa.

Washinscton, Jan. 22,—Regulations which it is hoped will allay grievances of non-commissioncd officers in the Phi)!ippines who reached that rank in their ov.n regiments, but who if th.?y should re-enlist in another regiment in the United States after their en listment has expired in the Philip pines would cimply be privates, are forthcoming from the War Depart ment. According to the Se-cretary there has been considerable dissatis faction among non-commissioned of ficers in the Philippine service be cause of the fact that when they re cruited in another regiment in the United States they have to do so as privaes. They cease to be non-com missioned officers the instant they en ter another regiment. ‘“We are going to correct this by regulations so as tj continue the non commissioned officers in legin^nts in this country.” secretary Garrison has informed Kepresentative Anthony, of Kansas. “Those who have been SntaUpoi; Sesre Leads te Clerk's Tae- dnatlen. Altoona, Pa., Jan. 22.—Ofieials and clerks in /Ae Pennsylvania Laboratory Building here ware much relieved to day when they found that what had at first been diagnosed at smallpox was only inesslet. A clerk in Master Mechanic J. C. Mengle's oiDca becsame i'll and skin emptions on his body led the attending physic^h to pronounce his ailment smallpox. Doors were Iock«l and the one hun dred or more men detained nntU tfaeir clothing could be fumigated and the suites disinfected. Some clerks -mtm escorted to a doctor’s office and vac cinated. Today it was found that the cause of the scare had only a bad of measles. President Does Xot Consider Draft of Bills Was Final. .. Washington, Jan. 23.—^The anti trust legislative program as outlined in bills made public yesterday is not the last vrord in proposed remedial legislation to regulate big business. That the tentative measures submit ted may be altered or extended was emphasized today in both branches of Congress, and the President let it be known that he did not consider that the forms of the bills drafted were final. Pijrsuant to the purpose of admin istration leaders to exhaui^t the sub ject it was determined by the House Judiciary and Senate Interstate Com merce Committaes not to introduce at this time the measures relating to prohibition of interlocking director ates, defininitons of restratints of trade and si>eciiication of “cut throat" competition. Hearings on questions are to be held before the bills go to Congress. The Interstate Trade Com mission bill introduced yesterday 'mil be taken up by the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, which they may see fit to alter the provisions suggested by the Judici ary Sub-Commi'vtee and Senator Newlands, chairman of the Senate In terstate Commerce Committee. The fifth of the proposed bills, that to authorize federal regulation of raiJ- Washington^ Jan. 22.—Tha foMin commerce of the United States in the calendar year 1913 approximated one and three-quarter billion ddiara of imports and two and one-haU I411icii of e^rts. The imports of tha eleven monilu ending with Movamhar were 1,609 million, and should the Peeem- imports eqoal those of MoTtmbw, the total for tiie full year would be f1,756,000,000. The exports the eleven months ended witk Noywnber were 2,251 mUlion, and shouM tha 1>&- cember exports aq[aai those Novem- h«f/ th* total would be 12,497,000,000. Tius estimate would make the aieeess of exports oyer imports approxiinate- ly 740 million dollars. The figures of exports ^ at ex cess of expo^ over imports wili ex ceed those of any earlier year. Hie largest export in any precedinff calen dar year was that of 1312, which showed tot^ of ^^99,21.7,983; and as the ^even months with' K»- vember are 102 million in excess ot the corresponding period of pr^ eediog year, the estimate of a^prosi- matdy two and one-half billion for 1913 seems to be justified. The ex cess of exports over imports in the eleven months ended with Novonber was 642 million dollars, and for the single month of November 97 million, thus apparently justifying the esti mate of 740 million excess of asqrarta for the full year. In imports, the total for 191S will be less than that of 1912, but larger than that of any year preceding 1912. This decline in imports in 1913 is due in part in reductions in prices of cer tain articles mported. Whle the quan tity of sugar imported in tfeo ten months ended with October exceeded that of the corresponding period of 1912 by 368 million pounds, the value of this larger quantity imported dui' ing the 1913 period was 22 million dollars Jess than that of the corres- ponding period of 1912. Coifee imports are much below the 1912 figures for the ten months ended with October 1913, being 636 million pounds against 752 million in the same period of last year and the value but 80 million dollars, sgainst 104 mil lion dollars in the corresponding per iod of last year. Taa shows a fall in iniportji of one and one-half atiUion dollars in value. Manufacturers’ ma terials show, as a group, a decline of year, this being due, in part, to a re duction of prices and in some in stances, a reduction in quantity. Im ports of crude rubber, for example, show for the ten months ended with October a reduction of a little over one million pounds in quantity, Vut a reduction of 16 mUlion dollars in value. Copper imports 3how an in crease in quantity over the corres- poiiding period of last year, both in ore and in the group, pigs, bars, old and igots. Raw silk shows a marked increase in the quantity imported in iyi3. road securities, probably wit! not ba drawn for several weeks. As a basis five per cent, when compared for this measure, however, a bill in- corresponding period of last troduced some time ago by Represen tative Adamson, of Georgia, prob ably will be taken, Pians for the hearing now are en gaging attentiori. Representative Clayton has called a meeting of the •Tudiciary Committee tomorrow to fix a cour.se of procedure. When the Democrats of the Senate Interstate Commerse Committee met today to lii.scuss the subject the suggestion wa?. made that hearings should be conducted jointly by the House and Senate Committees in order to expe dite certain of the bills. I.ate today Representatives Clayton. Carlin and Fioyd of the Judiciary sub committee conferred with Senator Newlands and other Democrats of the Interstate Commerce Committee, in cluding Senators Smith of South Carolina; Pomerene, Thomas, Myers Bobinson, Saulsbury and Thompson “We are exchanging views," sair Representative Cariin later; “goinf over the bills studiously with a vie^ to determining where they may b improved and to insure harmonios; action upon any changes that may b suggested.” Members of both committees, afte" discussing the question of nuking th bills party measures through caucu action, expressed the hope that i would not*be necessary to hand! them in this way. In this eonnectio: Gamble fo ra Girl and Loser Skips With the Stakes. Kolette, N. D., Jan. 24.—James and George Belnap, brothers and suitors for the same girl, played poker to de- bermine which should have a “clear way” to the girl’s affections, James won and told the girl. Miss Tessie Peltier, their method of selec- :ion. They arranged to be married, Where James returned home, leorge was absent, but he thought lothing of it until morning when in- estigation was made resulting in the iiscovery that Geoi:ge, the poker ■ame loser, had eloped with the girl nd thst they had gone to Canada. The parties live in the Turtle mona- ain district. i>v .
