It is supposed, says the N. G. D. News, that the three men in question, all wall.. known journalists, have been arrested and put out of the-way. There gentlemen, well.. known in Shanghai, were all on the staff of the Novi Krai in Part Arthur; went through the siege, and only left when the town was in the hands of the Japanese. They then came. 10 Shanghai, where they remained for some. months, Mr. Veroshkin proceeding to Harbin, to continue the printing and publishing, of the Novi Read in that town.
Colonel Artemieff, himself proprietor of the paper, who stayed at the Hotel des Colonies whilst here, undertook some very interesting negotiations for the Russian Government with regard to one of the Shanghai newspapers, Telegrams passed to and fro, but nothing was definitely concluded.
Colonel Anemie went to St. Petersburg about the end of May 19x. There he had audience of the Czar, and after a time returned to larbin, where the Noul Kral was still Appeating,
:
Mr. Tchernikofsky, at one time on the staff of the Port Arthur paper, and afterwards telegraphic correspondent of the Ruskos Slove of Moscow, also spent some months in Shanghai on leaving Port Arthur; he also after the battle of the Tsushima Straits, return ed to Russia, and thence rejoined his old chief, Colonel Artemieff in Harbin, Now, on ac count of telegrama relating, it is said, to affairs at Vladivostok, these thres men have my- steriously disappeared.

Robin Hood and Captain Kidd are the jolliest old fellows in our calendar. But the romance of Western America does not borrow its charm from the dim recesses of moss-hung oaks or the airy invitation of wind-swept seas. The Land of Little Rain lies open, hare, naked to the sun and the eye of the bebolder. Thost that cross its glittering expanse on the rushing, dust-infested trains name it "The Country God' Forgot," where even the Almighty could not be expected to find anything that was good or beautiful or a credit to his fair creation. The people that live in it find out differently. The Indians and miners and prospectors who burrow-in its canyons and know its "resting springs" and can tell its weils of poisoned water from those giving life and refreshment, learn the 28th March, 19af, commencing at 2.30 P.M., that the bare, ba'd face of the landscape bides many allurements, and the seekera after gold in its grim defiles sometimes find gold, some t mes find death, but all find many secrets of nature in the wilderness.

News of and of the strangest discoveries that has ever come out of the Southwestern country was brought to San Francisco res cely by a modest, plain-spoken miner who, while prospecting for gold in New Mexico, stumbled upon a ledge thousands of feet in length of the strangest formation in his ex. perience. Millions and millions of ironlike crosses, each harder than quartz, almost a hard, in fact, as a topaz, were strewn through the softer substance of the ledge like shells

The ledge | WOOD FURNITURE; itself, which is nothing remarkable, being a mica schist, is harder than the rock imbed ding it. and the letter has worn away, inav ing the ledge exposed in some places to the height pi ten of twelve feet. The ledge, which is set nearly upright between the inclosing rocks and which descends to an unknown depth, is nearly twenty feet in width, and was followed along by the pros- pector ip ope or two places for an unbroken run of 1,000 feet. Imbedded in its substance countless myriads of cross stones, dark? brown, almost black in color, and hard steal, make up more than half the substance of the ledge.
