Many Dreams of a
(Philadelphia Rocord.)
The nearest approach, literally, to
a "mountain of gold" is Mount Morgan,
in Australia! And they are mining
today there as they have for thirty
years. The net proceeds have been
about $38,000,000. This so-called
"mountain of gold" has yielded, on an
average, half an ounce or less of gold
to the ton
This hashed many persons to ask
seriously, "What would happen if a
mountain of pure gold were found?"
Kor ages men have dreamed and
writers have written yarns about
"mountains of gold," but Just what
utnitM ^ " " "
n?um uctp|)t-u ii one were round is
still a question with as many sides
as a quartz nugget of the precious
yellow stuff.
That it would lessen the value of
the gold standard goes without saying,
and yet some other rare metal
or substance would undoubtedly be
found ready enough to take its place
in coinage if this should happen. Concerning
this interesting question
mining experts have talked most interestingly.
Those of us they say who|
are familiar with gold mining and [
more especially the big hananzas of j
the world, need not strain our imaginations
to conceive of an ore body
or even a mass of gold big enough to
llnant hltomnflnn.il rnnnotnMtf
arils. Many a prospector frying his
bacon at a camp fire and stimulated
by a reconcentrated cup of coffoe
must have seen visions of a golden
mountain or a streak of pure gold i
that ran across creation as if it would
never stop. Kvery now and then we
hear of fabulous mineral discoveries,
like that of Hitter Creek, in June,
1IU0, and when the irresponsible
scribe of the "Dally Scream" has' exhausted
hist vocabulary he usually
ends by talking about a "mountain
of gold."
When the stampede to the Australian
diggins was at its height in
1852, the ignorant emigrants, having
heard thut gold was found in quartz
and not knowing that pervasic mineral,
supposed It was "quarts" and
here expected to gather the gold in
pints and pails. This fact is vouched
for by F. J. Dunn, the Australian
geologist, who as a boy went to the
diggings at that time.
And why not? We may laugh at
q the simpleton from the farm and we
may sneer (and we do) at the per.
ferved scribbler of the untechntcal
paper, but it is doubtful whether
even that peripatetic philosopher
known as the man in the street could
give adequate reasons for the improbability
of such a golden discovery.
For instance, what is the biggest
mass of native copper ever found? Of
course, it was in the Lake Superior
region. It was 1857, at the Mine

Mountain of Gold
sota (not Minnesota) mine, in the
Ontonagon district. At a shallow
depth there was discovered a mass of
copper 4 6 feet long, with*a maximum
thickness of 8 1-2 feet. The mean
width was 12 1-2 feet, and the mean
thickness four feet. The total weight
actually recovered was 4 20 tons.
No such masses of gold as this, of
course, have ever come to light. Yet
gold in great quantities has been won
in brief periods. California river beds
?v?o E SIIIl SHIt MFWY WYPPP
yielded $81,204,700 in 1851 alone,
and the shallow diggings of Victoria
gave $63,000,000 in 1853. In the
Klondyke more recently one miner
cleaned up $46,000 in eight hours
and took out $750,000 from a claim
80 by 50 feet.
Much of this gold was in course
pellets and nodules, and yet the largest
nugget ever found was picked up
near Dunolly, Victoria, Australia, in
I860, and weighed 100 pounds. Another
weighing 184 pounds and including
some quartz brought in nearly
$42,000. There have been others
nearly as big, yet this is very far from
masses such as the huge copper nugget
above described, and farther still
form a "quarry" or "mountains" of j
kuiu. i u? nearest approacn 10 mis,1
as yet imaginary possibility seems to
be Mount Morgan, in Queensland,
Australia, a bill about 500 feet high,
he crest of which was a "gossan"
containinp several ounces of gold per
ton.
This has been excavated in sureessful
benches, so that it approximates
> the "quarries" of gold mentioned
by certain writers. Hut the workings
are now far below the foot of the hill.
However, they have yielded a quantity
of gold so great as to render Mount
Morgan unique in the history of mining.
Since its discovery in 1880, according
to the latest figures available,
this ore deposit has yielded in excess
of 3.680.000 ounces of gold worth
$73,000,000 besides ,33.000 tons of
copper. The company owning the
imine has distributed more than $37,500,000.
Not infallible.
Huinnn Judgment cannot be Infallible,

so deceptive that even the most experienced

reach as good an estimate of a man as
the humble Ignorant scrub woman,

PRESIDENT MISLEADING
PEOPLE NEW CLAIMS
Senator From Indiana Calls the
la-ague of Nations "OneHided
Arrangement."
???
Washington, Sept. 29.?In asserting
that the Hritish empire could not
out-vote the United States in the league
of nations under the covenant as
now drawn. President Wilson, either
through "misunderstanding or misrepresentation"
is "misleading" the j
American people, Senator New,. He- ,
publican, of Indiana, declared in an
address in the senate.
Launching a general attack on the
league as a "one-sided" arrangement
under which this country would be
required to protect the territory of:
other nations without needing reciprocal
service from them, SenatorNew
at the same time criticised many
details of the covenant and dwelt at.
length on the question of the relative
vote of Great Ilritain and this country
in the league assembly.
Details are the essence of such an
important matter as this, the senator
said, yet the President has called
upon the senate to "forget the details."
The President, he said, would
substitute this phrase for the slogan
of "safety first." What would happen
on a railroad, the senator asked,
if it replaced its "safety tlrst" signs!
with an injunction to its employes to
"forget the details?"
Warning against interference in
European affairs, the Indiana senator
declared entrance of the United Stat-'
os into th?* league of nations would
mean pursuance of the course which!
has brought the country to the point
today where it has not a "single!
irieiid among ine nations. And th'.s
coursp, he said, has been followed |
in "niter disregard of the caution and
advice of the fathers of the nation."!
"One of the simplest elements >f
common sense," said the senator in
conclusion, "is the minding of one's
own business and the keeping out of
other people's business. This treaty
with its league attachment provides
for the systematic interference of the
i'nited States in the affairs (if every
l
other nation."

(By Mt. Clemens News Bureau.) 1
St. Louis?Displaying a high con- I
fidence that his fellow citizens in the |
great majority agree with him in his j
desire to end war forever, ami that ,
the peace treaty with its League of I
Nations inclusion is ratified by the |
senate. President Wilson is making a j
successful way across the country on ?
the long Journey lie has undertaken J
for the purpose of laying before tbu j
pluin people a report of his work in j
Paris und explaining to them just ,
what the League means. 1
Thus far in his travels he has every- 1 I
where met with warm greetings, botn , .
In the great halls where he has I
spoken formally and in the little cross J
road hamlets where hi* train has l
halted at times and he has exchanged . ,
words with the villagers who pressed
forward to greet him. He feels, and j
does not hesitate to say so when
chatting with his traveling companions,
that the American people want
no more of war and want to become
part of the League so that there may
be no more war. lie struck his keynote
when he said in his first address,
in Columbus, Ohio:
"This treaty was not Intended mere
ly to end this single war. It is meant
as a notice to every government who
In the future will attempt this thing
(what Germany attempted) that man-I
kind will unite to inflict the same punishment.
There is no national
triumph to be recorded in this treaty
There is no glory sought for any par- |
ticular nation. The thought of the
statesmen collectd around that table
was of their people, of the sufferings
they had gone through, of the losses
they had incurred, of that great throbbing
heart which was so depressed, j
so forlorn, so sad in every memory if |
had of the live tragical years that j
have gone by. Let us never forget
those years, my fellow countrymen; j
let us never forget the purpose, high
and disinterested, with which America
lent its strength, not for its own glory
but for the defense of mankind.
"As I said, this treaty was not
meant merely to end this war. It Is
intended to prevent any similar war. |
I wonder if some of the opponents of
the League of Nations have forgotten
the promises we made our people be- 1
fore we went to that peace table? We
had taken by process of law the
flower of our youth from every coun- j
tryside, from every household, and we
told those mothers and fathers and ;
sisters and wives and sweethearts
that we were taking those men to
fight a war which would end business
of that sort, and if we do i.ot end it,
if we do not do the best that human

most unfaithful to those households
bowed In grief and yet lifted with the
feeling that the lad laid down his life
for a great thing, and, among other
things. In order that other lads might
never have to do the same thing.
"That is what the League of Nations
is for to end this war Justly
and then not merely to servo notice
on governments which could contemplate
that they will do so at their peril,
hut also concerning the combination
of power which will prove to them
that they will do it at their peril. It is
idle to say the worlds will combine
against you; but it is persuasive to
say the_world Js combined against
you, The League of Nations
is the only thing that can prevent the
recurrence of this dreadful catastrophe
and redeem our promises."
A League of Nations would have
preveuted the late conflict, the presl- j
dent asserted, explaining.
"I did not meet a single public man
who did not admit these things; that !
Germany would not have gone Into |
this war if she thought Great Britain '
was going into it, and she most cer- I
tainly would never have gone into it
had she dreamed America was going !
into it. And they all admit that a i
notice beforehand that the greatest
powers of the world would combine to
prevent this sort of thing would pre
veni 11 iiosoiuiei/.
Applause and cheers greeted 1
each declaration of the president
that wars might be avoid
ed in the future by operations
of the League. Me pointed out other '
Important features of the Peace j
Treaty, how It was the redemption ot
weak nations, giving them freedom j
which otherwise they never could
havo won; how it says ' These people
have a right to live their own lives
under governments which they them J
selves choose", and how "that la the j
American Principle and I was glad to
fight for it", and that was the very ,
heart of the Treaty, he said.
He drew attention to the section of
he Treaty which is a "Magna C'harta
