kind that la dona by tha "big fellowa."
It should be railed mine hunting. The
men that engage in It are looking for a
mine.
That kind of mine hunting la not done
afoot behind a (tie of burros. It done In
automobile. Tha men that engage In It
keep up an "intelligence department,"
Juat aa do the war offices of European gov

If it looks good he buya it. If not, he

Valley, the earth's Inferno, into the Fan

and pounced there upon a monstrous ledge
of rich quarts, the finding of which had
been dimly heralded on the wings of ru
mor. They got there Just In time, too,
for hardly had they made a preliminary
examination and closed the deal- when a
big black auto, carrying the fortunes of
Charlea M. Schwab, the steel magnate,
whirred Into tha, little camp from tha

were enough, and, seising a box of cigars
and hla big automobile leather coat, ha
stepped Into tha machine. A short atop
wan made at the garage to take on extra
tires and gasoline and then the big ma
chine bussed out Into the open country.
At I o'olewk they jrr RhyollKf. There
thejy met Chafey the young fellow who had
flashed tha first ' news of the strike. He
Informed them' that he had sent on a mule
team with provisions to Stove Pipe Soring,
oit the edge of Death valley. A half hour
stop was made." A new supply of gasoline
was taken aboard and each man waa given
a South African canvas bag full of water.
They rolled on, and the mountalnsVose on
ail aides, veiled, pslnted, mysterious moun

100 feet below ea level.
Across the Valley of Death.
The mula wagon which Chafey had aent
on ahead was there, driven by Mr. McCul
lcugh, a desert prospector of yesra' expe

from tha spring for tha machine, hoarding
tha better water for drinking, and then
they , went on across the valley of death.
A half mile on they reached the sand dunes
and the big machine stuck. Its wheels
whirring mtpotently through the elusive
stuff without catching.
'We can't make It," aald the chauffeur.
"We've got to make It," answered Sul
livan and Campbell. In one breath. Before
them, blue with tha distance, rose tha
Tanaminte with Its mine. The three men
got out. With a shovet they clesred the
sand heaped up before the wheels; they
placed tunny sacks beneath the tlrea; then,
putting their ahouldera against th ton

To Hide
We have nothing to conceal; no secrets
to hide! We publish' the formulas
of all our medicines. You will
find these in Ayer's Almanac for
1906; or write us and we will send
them to you. Then show the formulas
to your doctor, and ask him what
he thinks of them. If ie says they
are good medicines, then use them.
If he has anything better, then use
his. Get -well as soon as you can,
j that's the point!
The machine struck a down grade and
whlsaed along. At the bottom of the grade
a faint, green mustlness waa visible. The
machine approached It with vertiginous
speed. Suddenly, with an exclamation, the
chauffeur leaned forward and put on both
brakes. There waa a thump, a screech of
tortured steel, the machine skidded and
Jumped, then came to a full atop. Tha

With Infinite labor they pulled It back out
of It. They examined tha ground and found
that tha road led through an alkali swamp.
Over tha ooiy depths a crust that seemed
hard, but broke to weight, stretched like a
shimmering white lie. They held a confer
ence and then decided upon taking a wild
chance.
With only the chaffeur In It the auto
was backed far up the grade It had come
down. The rest of the men Spread along
the path through the marsh, ready for any
emergency. Sullivan dropped hla handker
chief for a signal and the machine started
down the hill.
Oa the Jasaa.
Right away the chaffeur put on full speed.
Tha ateel flips In front opened like wings.
Silently at first, like a shadow, It whlsxed
down; then, as It csught tha full Impetus
of power and grada It began to buxx In a
crescendo that rose till It rolled like a bomb
shell. Down It came aroar, like a meteor
from the skies.
An Involuntary cry came from the men

But the men alongside, frnsled, threw their
coats, their hats, their shirts .beneath tha
wheels, and alowly. Inch by Inch, it at
length rose upon the hard ground.
Everything afterward waa easy In com
parison, though enough to daunt wills
forged of bsser metals than those of Sulli
van, Campbell and Chefey. The auto at
midnight rolled Into the little camp at Emi
grant Springs.
Even then It wss not time to rest. Afoot
the party climbed over the hills, and Juat
at sun-up they were standing upon a mon
strous outcropping of goldbearlng quarts,
the mine so desperately won.
Taking aamplea here and there, they re
turned to camp, "panned" them, and there
and then, Sullivan, Chafey and the pros
spectors cloaed the deal. Hardly had thla
been done when tha puff, puff of an auto
drew them outside of the tent. Slowly,
painfully, a crippled automobile waa roll

WORKING ON NEW CAMPANILE
Engineers Report oa the Preseat
Plans Caases Maeh Com
ment la Venice.
VENICE. July 28.-(8peclal Cablegram to
The Bee.) Serious doubts have been raised
concerning the methods followed In re
building the famous Campanile, especially
with regard to the Ave large steps at the
base, now all above ground, while before
two and a half had gradually become en
tirely covered. The College of Venetian
Englncera, presided over by Slgnnr Ro
manln Jacur. ex-minister, appointed a com
mittee to study the question and report
on it. In the report which haa now been
presented the committee says It haa espe
cially Inquired "If the work proceeds, and
promises to proceed, according to the senti
ment and wishes of Venice," which can be
summarized as follows: That the Cam
panile, must stand where It was, and as It
was. in order that the historic tower may
harmonise as it did before with that sub
lime srtlstlo center which is the Piazza of
Bart Marco. Therefore, no line nor any
detail outside or Inside the Campanile
should be changed, an It would he regarded
as a profanation to give It a modern ap
pearance. The yeport, however, fears that
this will not be carried out In the recon
struction, as is proved by the five steps
above mentioned, which have also the fault
of being differently cut from the originals.
The new ones are polished, placed with
geometrical regularity, . and all perfectly
even In height and width, while the ancient
ones were purposely irregular and rough,
producing an artistic effect. The conclu
sion of the report is rather severe, ex
pressing tha apprehension that the new
Campanile "will not respond either to sen
timent, to history or to art."
In view of these criticisms the munici
pality haa appointed a committee com
posed of Signor Basils, an architect; Prof.
Jorlnt and Signor Laurenti, a painter, and
the art critics, Blginrl Rlccl and d'Andrade,
to glva their vlewa on th reconstruction
of the Campanile. Meanwhile the work of
building la going on actively and the bell
tower haa almost reached the height of the
second window.
TAX QUEST0N IN FRANCE
Minister of Flnnnee Hays He Will
Tax Rich Rather Than
Poor.
PARIS. July Jx.-tSpeclal Cablegram to
The Bee.) Interviewed by the Matin on
his program. M. Poincare, minister of
finance, asked Its editor whether he knew
of such (hlngs as good taxes, as he (the
minister) did not. He was aware that Some
people considered that there were excellent
taxes, but those were taxes which they
expected other people to pay. He admitted
that the position was serious, demsndlng a
greAt deal of prudence, but he did not
hold It to be In the least degree alarming.
At any rate, so far as he was concerned,
he would not adopt taxea which aavored of
spoliation, nor would ha consent to any
measure which might be regarded aa an at
tack on Individual property. He was quite
prepared to pay attention to any prac
tical suggestion, as all that he really
Wanted waa to balance hla budget without
cruahlng the smsll taxpayers or compro
mising the wealth of the nation.
"I shall always be ready." M. Poincare
concluded, "to tax the great rather than
the small, but I shall never consent to de
spoil anybody. The tax ceases where In
Iqulty begins."

INCREASING USES FOR MICA
Onee Seen Chlely la the Stono Sow
Employed to Insolate Elec
tric Wlren.
There waa a time when mica, or Isinglsss
as It was fsr more commonly called, was
familiar In one limited use in every house
hold in which there wss a parlor or a sit
ting room stove, thin, transparent sheeta
of this miners! being set In the stove door.
Through the "Isinglass," not destructible
when subjected to hest, as glass would
have been, the glow of the fire within could
he seen.
With long use th mica might become
smoked up and opaque, or It might become
marred and broken. Then the head of the
household would get snd set Into the stove
door fresh isinglsss from he stove dealer's,
while the fragments of the old were very
probably turned over to the children, who
were likely to be surprised to find into how
much thinner sheets stilt the thin old piece
from the stove door could be divided. As a
matter of fact, mica Is divisible Into sheeta
one two-thousandth of an Inch In thick
ness. Now there are many who don't know
mica at all, not even aa It la uaed on stoves,
people born and raised in house thst ara
haated by steam, In which no stove are
used for heating purposes; but while the
number of these is large and all th time
growing, the number of people who yet
use stove Is larger still; and so while mica
may have passed entirely out of the night
and mind of many who once knew It In
thla use, and In this use only, the prepara.
tlon of it for stove use still constitute a
regular branch of the mica trade; and thus
one of the old uses of mica still continues.
The chief use to which mica Is now put
Is one not dreamed of until within a com
paratively few yeara, namely, as an In
sulating material In the construction of
electrical apparatus, for which purpose Its
use Is now general and constantly Increas
ing, and far larger than In any use to
which It had ever before been put.
Mica la now uaed also for making chim
neys for incandescent gaa lamps placed
where they would be exposed to drafts, or
out of doors, subject to the weather. Mica
la uaed to make protectors for ornamental
candle shades, and It Is used for making
fancy boxes, and. In place of glass, for cov
ering the labels On drawers, aa In a desk.
Oround up mica Is now used in the manu
facture of lubricants and of fertilisers, and
of dynamite, and In other forma it 1 used
for boiler coverlnga.
Mica was long used for windows and for
lanterns, and Jt Is still used in lanterns
where such use would be advantageous, it
is used In place of glass In- spectacles worn
by stone and metal workers, and In miner'
lamps," and it haa been in the past or still
Is put to varioua other, including orna
mental, uses; but among Ita various mod
ern uses the chief Is in Its application to
electricsl mschlnery. For thla the mica la
cut Into hundreds of different shapes and
Sixes.
India is the chief source of the world's
supply of mica, with Canada next, the
United States next and Brazil and other
countries following. Mica, from one source
and another, ranges In color from white or
transparent, through varioua shade to
black.
In the formations In which It exists It 1
found In more or less scattering deposits,
or in pockets. Its value dependa, with re
gard to the uses to which It may he put,
on Its color, it freeodm from impurities
and the size of the sheets that can be ob
tained from It.
Now this anciently known mineral, for
many year put to varied though com
paratively limited uses, finds more exten
sive use than ever In applications pecu

LATEST OF STRANGE SECTS
Weatera New York Acknowledge
Parentage of Holy Roller and
Knee Benders.
The latest curious sects to take root
In Western New York are the Holy
Rollers and the Knee Benders. The Holy
Rollers were organized about alx years ago
on the ahorea of Canandaigua lake, and th
tory of the rise of thla strange religious
atct is absurdly out of place in the twen
tieth century. Hell Is the chief tenet of
the Holy Rollers' belief a hell of sputter
ing brimstone and flame that eternally
torture, but never consume the bodies of
the damnod. .To this hell la destined every
one who does not accept the faith. The
creed embodies doctrines which were re
garded as essential to happiness 1(0 year
ago. It la a creed that converta by fear,
and the writer haa seen a number of
young women In various stagea of hysteria
at the conclusion of a Holy Roller revival
meeting. The leaders of the faith are Mr.
Mary Mclntyre, Miss Kmnia Chase, Prof.
N. V. Eastman and Elder James Woods-
worth of Syracuse, N. Y. Regeneration Is
effected In several ways, the course of
treatment Including prayer, bathing, robing
and baptism by Immersion. When these
remedies prove futile In cleansing th soul
of the sinner the penitent I obliged to
perform what the believer call the "holy
roll." The unregenerate ilea on the floor
at on end of the building and roll over
and over like a log until everv one preeent
is satisfied that the devil ha been rolled
out. Sometimes th ceremony last a
quarter of an hour, but If the convert has
been an unuaually tough customer, he may
be compelled to roll for tour or ftv hour
a most herolp method of securing salva
tion. A the aubject rolls by th kneeling
audience every person haa the privilege to
ask such questions aa each sees fit, and the
convert must make satisfactory answer
before he 1 allowed to rise. The sin of
a lifetime must b confessed in detail and
the innermost secret of the soul mad
public.
The Holy Roller have operated exten
sively In Central and Western New York,
and certain small communities are In a
condition of religious excitement not Un
like that which marked the beginning of
Mormonlsin. Perhaps the atrongest feature
of this frenxy Is the establishment of the
strangest of all sects, the adherents of
which call themselves Knee Benders. The
Knee Bender are a small community and
live along the eaatern shore of Seneca
lake. The sect originated about ftv year
ago. At that time a Swedish farmer
named Buraon, a man of some education,
began to act in a strange manner. Ho
claimed that he had visions and refused
to assist in work on the farm and spent
most of his time " on a knoll near the
lake. He remained on his knees and in
answer to all inquiries ssid that the great
The aches and pains of Rheumatism are only symptoms which may
be scattered or relieved with liniments, plasters, blisters, etc., or quieted
with opiates. As soon as the treatment is left off, however, or there is any
exposure to dampness, or an attack of indigestion, the nagging pains, tore
muscles Snd tender places on the flesh return, and the sufferer finds that he
has merely checked the symptoms, while the real cause remains id the system.
The cause of Rheumatism is a too acid condition of the Hood, brought on bj
indigestion, chronic constipation, weak Kidneys, and a general sluggish
condition of the system. Waste matter collects in the system each dajr
which nature intends shall be carried off, bat when it is left because of av
sluggish condition of the system it sours and forms uric and other acids.
These are taken up by the blood and carried to all parte of the body to produce
the pains and ache of Rheumatism. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism by going
down into the blood and driving out the cause and making this life stream
rich, pure and healthy. When the blood has been purified and built up ty
