THE SOBANTON TBIBTJNE -MOITDAY MORNING, AP)tIL 20. 1897. TtE;,iBLO- v .. v :-rr- Copyright, 1807, by L. T. TAIIT I. If there was a man In tho whole of St. Petersburg who had never excited the smallest suspicion In the minds of tho secret police It wns Alexander Chance, Kngllshman nnd physician. At one time he hnd practiced umongs his fellow-countrymen In the city, but for several years now he hnd resigned all the more usual work of his profession, nnd lived a retired life In a large and stately house on the Lluovka canal. The fact of his bavins cuch a house with a commodious garden attached proved his wealth, otherwise he lived In a very simple and retired manlier. Ho was a man of between fifty and six ty yeais of aire, thin In nppearanre, and somewhat ascetic looking, lie had an aquiline nose, piercing but small dark eyes, and a full, broad expanse of forehead. In stature he was slightly above the middle helcht. Ills manner was courteous, polite, rellned, and ijultc unapproachable. lie was spiiken of as a man of Iron will nnd undoubted abil ity. Society, however the brilliant so ciety of .St. Petersburg saw little or nothing of him he spent almost the whole of his time within his house, or rather In the laboratories whlrh were attached to the house. He had a wife and two claughtei. Ills wife was of partly Uusslan, partly (lerm.m extrac tion. The girls at the time of this story were sixteen nnd fifteen years of orc respectively. It was their father's wish to have them brought up in tho English fashion, and for this purpose he generally ha 3 Ki'gllsh governesses to teach them. By his fellow physi cians Dr. Chance was regarded as a clever man whose whim It was to de ote his time to the practice of the moie obscure branches of fie profes sion. His friend spok? o'. him as a good fellow, rererved, and atnut a crnrlt, for surely no one elss with so much wealth would take suca wnall enjoyment out of life. It was early In the spring of 1S93 that all previous conjectures with regard to Alexander Chance were overthrown. In a city where terrible things are done, and thos who are prudent think It best to be slier t about them, his name attained a brief and startling no toriety For a short time It was In ev eryone'.! mouth. Tho following story told by one of his victims will explain whj: TOLD BY MADELINE HENNICK. "When I decided to accept the offer of a situation as governess In a Russian family, I bought, amongst cither things, a small Bllver mounted revolver and llfty cartridges. I do not really know what prompted me to make this pur chase, but I had a certain sense of pleasure In spending a couple of sov ereigns upon It, and I stowed my re volver carefully away In the very bot tom of one of my largest trunks. Before proceeding to tell this story I had better say one or two words about myself. My name is Madeline Itennlck; I am an orphan and have no near relations. When Dr. Chance of fered me a hundred pounds per annum to educate his two daughters, I de termined to accept the situation with out a moment's hesitation. I bade my friends adieu and reached St. Peters burg without anv sort of adventure. Dr. Chance met me at tho station. Ho was a somewhat handsome, but near sighted man on quite the shady side of fifty. He was coldly polite to me, gave directions about my luggag", and took me straight to his house on the Llgovka canal. Theie I was received by Mrs, Chance, a lady In every respect the antipodes of her husband. She had a roly-poly figure, a round, moon shaped face, small, pale blue eyes, and a curious and yet thoroughly unsym pathetic manner. My pupils were rath er pretty girls, the elder was tall, and had the dark eyes of her father she had a fine, open expression; her name was Olga. The younger was dark and small In stature, with a piquant and pretty face; she was called Maroussa. The girls could talk English tolerably well, and the warmth of their greet ing made uu for their mother's Indif ference. I began my duties on the "YOU KNOW, OF COLRSE, THAT following morning, and for the first month of my Btay thought that my ex istence was likely to be an exceeding ly monotonous one. At the end of the month very heavy snow with high gales of wind set In, and we could not go out. On a certain afternoon Olga, Mar oussa and 1 were seated on one of the large divans in tho comfortable salon. "You must find It dreadfully dull hero," said Maroussa. "I hope you won't regret having left England to come to educate us." "Not at all," I replied; "I lave long had a great desire to see Russia, and to understand something about it "and its strange history." "You know, of course, that our fath er is English," said Olga, "although he U now a naturalized Russian. He has IMPVAJ Meade nnd Itobert Eustace. lived In the country ever since ho was thirty years of age. He Is a great sci entist, llov your eyes sparkle. Made lino! Are you interested In science?" "1 am veur fond ot science," I an swered; "I have studied chemistry a good deal for a glrl.and I took a science tripos at Olrton," As I spolto I bent over tho Russian novel which I was trying to read. The next moment a coldly polite voice spoke almost In my ear. I looked up and' saw tr my astonishment that Dr. Chance, who seldom or never favored the Indies of His famllv with his presence, had come into the palon. He was ttooplng sllghtlv and was peering at me with his short-sighted eyes. "Did I hear arlsht?" ho ea!d. "Is It possible that you, a young lady, are In terested In science?" 'I like It Immensely," I replied. He gave ine another look as If he meant to read me through and through, then, stepping back a pace, ho spoke. "Your Information please3 me," he said. "The fnct Is thlc, I came up Just now to ask you to grant me a favor." "Of ciiirNi I will," I answered; "what can I do'" "I suffer from nn afteetlon of the eyes At times I have inUl"rablo pain in the right eye To use It on such occasions makes It wors;. Today I pilfer torture. Will you come down stairs and be my secretary for tho nonce?" "Ot course I shall,"I answered. The moment I spoke, Dr. Chance moved to waul the door, beckoning me with a certain Imperious gesture to follow him. I felt myself, as It were, whirled from the room. A moment or two 1 was alone with the doctor In his cabin et. A gentleman's study In Itusslan houses Is nlways called by this name. The doctor's cabinet was a nobly pro portioned room, two-thirds of the walls being lined from celling to lloor with books, a large double window giving abundant light, and a door at the fur ther end lattlns In a peep of a some what mysterious room beyond. "My laboratory," said the doctor, noticing my glance. "Some day I shall have pleasure In showing It to you. Did I hear you say that you had stud led chemistry?" "Yes." "Then you may be of Invaluable use to me; the fact Is, Miss Itennlck, most vital secrets are brought to light In that room matters which may event ually sot the whole world talking. Now there Is not a Russian In ths land I say this advisedly because the chil dren's mothe" happens to belong to that country there Is not a Russian In the land to be trusted. Suppose I trust you; I can make it worth your while." I have plenty of courage I saw at that moment that tho doctor meant to test me. I looked him full in the face. "What do you mean?" I asked. "I can double your salary." "You pay me as much for teaching your daushters as I think I have a right to expect," I answered. The doctor glanced at me from head to foot. . "If I give you additional work to ilo for me, you will be rightly entitled to additional pay but enough of this later on. Now can you take down from dictation?" , "Yes, In shorthand." "Splendid! I shall sit here nnd dic tate. Is that pen to your liking?" "Yes, It will answer admirably." "Now give me your very best atten tion. The paper I am about to dictate to you Is to be posted to England to night. It will apear In the 'Science Gazette.' You doubtless know this name?" "Certainly, I have studied the Jour nal for years." "Ah! how lefreshlng to meet such a sensible woman. Well, Miss Itennlck, the subject of my paper Is, I am qulto certain, new to you. I have discovered a mothol of photographing Thought." I stared up at him In astonishment; ho met my gaze fully. His deep-set glittering eyes looked something like little sparks of fire. Was tho man a maniac, or was he sane? OUR FATHER IS ENGLISH." "You do not believe me," ho said "and you represent to a great extent the public to which I am about to ap peal. I shall doubtless be scoffed at In England; but wait awhile. I can prove my words, but not yet, not yet, Are you ready?" "I am all attention," I answered. His brow cleared, ho sank back on his divan. He began to dictate, and I took down his words assiduously. At the end of an hour he stopped. "That will do," ho said, "Now will you kindly transcribe In your best and fairest writing what I have been say. ing to you?" "Yes," I answered. "And please accept ten rubles for the pleasure and help you havo given me. Not a word of refusal. I am glng out now; when your paper 1 finished pray leave It on that desk. Be assured that you have my very best thanks." Ho gave me a long nnd earnest look, and slowly left tho room. It took mo from two to three hours to transcribe what had fallen no glibly from the doctor's lips. Having finished my paper I went upstairs. As I as cended the long, low, marble 3tnlri which led to tho salon on the ilrst lloor, the "thought of what I had Just written kept floating again nnd again through my brain. I knew enough about science to bo Interested even In the very sketchy paper which the doc tor had dictated. Would ho ever bo In 1 1 rr."ii flls 'WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" I ASKED. a position to prove his thcorj'7 What did the whole thing mean? How could he prove It? By what means? (To Be Continued.) "My Friend Prom India," which will be seen at the Academy of Music to night, will attract moie than usual at tention for several reasons. The first Is: It Is an admirable and amusing take-off on theosophy and the society make-shift of booming the social Hon; second It Is the novelty of the thent t Ideal year; third, It Is the most ex cruciatingly funny string of dramatic situations presented for a long time; fourth, It Is Interpreted by the Smyth & Rice comedy company, composed of such competent netors as Frederic Bond and others of his prominence; fifth, because the play Is the latest popular comedy success. Ople Read has been pronounced the American Dickens because of his novel character painting In "The Juckllns." Ihe characters are true to life, very novel, containing the delicious flavor of North Carolina solll, where the scene of the stoiy Is laid. In ndaptlng the story to stage purposes, Daniel L. Hart has retained the nppetlzlng flavor, and to the character of Lemuel Jucklln Stuait Robson has added the laugh creating flesh and blnodlsm of his art. It la tho most pronounced character ho has assumed In years, and the light ant! shade of the character give him unbounded on ortunitles. "The Juck llns will be produced at the Academy of Music to-morrow night. To those who have read the metro politan newspapers the announcement that the Henry Burlesque and Twenti eth Century minstrel company ooens this afternoon at Davis' theatre should be very welcome, as no company of re cent seasons has been more highly lauded. This is the last week of the regular season. The one particular tragedy event of the season will take place at the Froth Ingham when tho eminent tragedian Frederick Warde will bo seen in a round of Shakespearean revivals, pre senting on Wednesday evening for the first time In Scrantop Shakespeare's master tragedy "King Lear," at a spe cial popular priced matinee on Thurs day "The Merchant of Venice," clos ing the engagement on Thursday even ing with a grand scenic production of "Richard III." Tho popularity of Shakespear's grand tragedy, "King Lear," was received In the south is at tested by tho following from the Hous ton Post of Texas: "Mr. Warde's pro duction of "Lear," displays as do all his productions his excellent taste, his fidelity to the historical detail, and suggestions of time and scene, and his thorough artistic and intellgent devo tion to the work In hand.

TIIH ROMANTIC SIDE OP MININQ Daniel II 111 Found Two l'onrtuiicj nnd Squandered Iloth--'i ho !rcnt Martin Nuugot nmt Its Htrnngo l)ls-covery-A Consumptive's Luck. Other Instance's or 1'ortune's Sud den Vlsltntion. Tho Pomona, Cal., correspondent of tho St, Louis Globe-Democrat writes; Tho wonderful rcvlvnl In gold mining throughout the world has caused much discussion as to tho largest gold nug gets that huve been picked up, and the curious circumstances connected with the discovery of nome of tho richest deposits of the precious metal In Cali fornia. The subject Is full of romantic Interest, and the large fortunes thut have been stumbled upon In a day by some gold miners form a perennial source of discussion among all classes of people In the West. The recent meeting of the Miners' association In San Francisco has been the means of recalling a. large number of facts con nected with the finding In California of chunks of gold that have brought their discoverers good-sized fortunes. Colonel Daniel Bailey, of Pomona val ley, who Is probably tho most experi enced prospector and gold miner In Cal ifornia today, has been constantly en gaged In seeking and locating mines Hlnce I80C, and he says thnt the only man ho ever knew of who found two very valuable nuggets was Daniel Hill, who died a poor, miserable pauper In the Los Angeles county almshouse sev eral years, ago. In the summer of 1SCB Hill was woiklng gold In the placer diggings at the Ruby Belle mine, In Plumas county, away up under the rhadow of Mount Shasta, when he came nero.'.s, burled In the gravel, a chunk of gold and rod-stalnod, wnter maiked quarts as large as a horse's hoof. He Htartcd oft" tho very next dny for Sacramento, whete he sold the find nt the D. O. Mills bank for $14,000. In less than a ar Hill had spent every dollar of this sum. He squandered over $5,000 in one week In San Francisco. When his money was gone he went back to work again, and by hard work made an averngf3 of a few dollars a day for tho next four or five years. But one dny In tho fall of 1S71, while ho and companions were camping In a lonely canyon In the region of Dutch Flats, Nevada county, he stumbled up on another very large nugget. Hill was looking over a small discarded placer mlne.and was running the coarse gravel through his hands, while his practiced eye searched for evidence of yellow metal. Ho stooped down to wash his hands In th brook, when ly ing there in the running water was a nugget of gold and white quartz similar In size and shape to a baby's head. How the chunk ever got there, and es pecially how hundreds of hungry gold, seekers had tramped over that locality for ten years previous and had never got the nugget, is one of the favorite topics of speculation auong old-time miners in Ihe golden state. Hill sold his find for $12,300, and again abandoned himself to a long career of debauchery and recklessness, His second fortunate find was spent as soon as was his first, and he became a drunkard. He never fovnd another nugget, either large or small, although he searched for years. GREAT MARTIN NUGGET. The largest nugget ever found In this state was that known as the Oliver Martin chunk. It weighed 151 pounds, 6 ounces. The precious ore was mixed with white quartz, and it was sold after having been converted Into bullion for $22,270. Hundreds of pictures have been made of the golden mass, and nil the schoolboys In California are ex pected to know the weight, size and valuo of the famous nuggut. There are bronzo fac-slmlles of the chunk In many mineral collections In museums in Europe and America, The nugget was found near Camp Corona, In Tuo lumne county, In central California. The date of the finding was Nov. 18, 1831. Martin, a poor miner, who had not even the proverbial dollar to his name, and a companion named John Flower, were tramping on their way up country to new diggings. They camped one night In a mountain can yon, when a sudden and terrific rain storm came up In the darkness. The water In the canyon stream suddenly rose. The minors attempted to climb the hill, but the flood overtook them and both were carried down stream. Flower was drowned, but Martin, though severely injured, escaped. While trying to bury his companion's body by tho roots of an upturned tree, Martin discovered the rich nugget that bears his name. He was too weak to move It. He attempted to reach some neighboring miners, but fainted from exhaustion, and wns found on the trail by them. When able to walk some weeks later, Martin took them to the spot, and the nugget was removed. Martin made tho nugget the basis of a large fortune which he accumulated In the next two decades. In August, 1SC9, W. A. Farlsh, A. Wood, J. Wlnstead, F. N. L. Cleverlng and Harry Warner were partners In the Monumental claim, near Sierra Buttes, In Sierra country. In tho last week of that month they discovered a gold nugget which weighed 1,593 ounces troy. It was sold to R. B. oodward, of San Francisco, who paid for It $18, 343 for exhibition purposus. It was afterward melted and about $10,500 realized from It. LUCKY FRENCHMEN. The biggest nugget of gold ever found In Shasta county wns discovered In the spring of 1S70. One day three Frenchmen, two of whom wero named Oliver Longchamp and Fred Rochon, drove into the old town of Shasta In search of a spot to mine. They hap pened to have some business with A. Coleman, a dealer In hardware and notions. The three asked him where was a good place to mine. He care lessly pointed In a northerly direction, and paid, "Go over to Spring creek." They took his advice, located a claim on the creek, some eight miles north of Redding, and a few days later one of tho Frenchmen picked up a nugget of gold valued at $6,200. Ten years later a miner named Dent Young found a $250 nugget on Flat creek, near where the Frenchmen found their fa mous chunk. Plumas, though one of the richest mining counties in California, has yielded few valuable nuggets. The largest was found by a Chinaman near tho mouth of Nelson creek, and was worth $2,800. A miner nt Elizabeth town, named Archie Little, discovered a $2,600 nugget and Messrs. Hays and Steadman found one above- Mohawk valley, near the county line, that weighed 420 ounces and, was worth $0,700. Sierra is Justly famed for its valu able masses of gold, found both pure nnd mixed with quartz. Gcorg-e II. Norman and Frank Aman found, near Glbsonvlllo, In 1867, a nugget that weighed over 100 ounces nnd was worth $1,700. In 1861, at French ravine, a lump of quartz and feold together was discovered from which $8,000 In (cold was taken. In 1865, In the same ravine, a still more valuable nugget of sold was found, and from It $10,000 was ob tained. At Minnesota, in the Fame county, a nugget that weighed 266 ounces was found. This was valued at $3,000. At French ravine In ISM a mass of gold and quarts was picked up that weighed 263 ounces and was worth $4,893. In 1870 a splendid nugget of gold was discovered In tho Rainbow mlno at Allegheny, which was Imme diately shipped to London, and was there sold for $23,000. In 1860 a chunk of gold that weighed 03 pounds and 6 ounces was discovered In tho same county. In Placer county. In 1869, Edward Gilbert, In his drift mine near Butcher ranch, twelve miles from Auuurn, found a nugget of gold and quartz that weighed twenty pounds. Eight pounds of this ho sold at $10 nn ounce, or $1,536, while the remaining twelve pounds were 3old for $12 nn ounce, or $1,72S, making $3,21G for the nugget. The same man, many years later, discov ered In the same mine another very valuable nugget. It was ten lnchos long, from three to seventeen Inches wide and over an inch thick. Tho gold was embedded In a mass of crystallized quartz, with clear-cut corners, the sides of which shone with great brilliancy Wh'en thoroughly cleaned it weighed 147 ounces, and was sent to the San Francisco mint, where It brought $2,852, In 1SC4, near Michigan Bluff, a nugget of pure gold weighing 226 ounces and valued at $1,204 was found. In July, 1870, J. B. Colgrovc, of Dutch Flat, found a white qunrtz bowlder In the Polar Star mine which contained $5,700 worth of gold. ROMANCE OF PURE GOLD. Among the exhibits in the mining de partment ut the Woild's fair thtee years aso was a nugget of pure gold that was found In Alpine county by a young woman. The history of the dis covery of this chunk Is unique In min ing, and is cherished by every woman In the guld-mlnlng regions In Califor nia. Hairy E. Ellis and his wife came to this stnte In 3871 from Philadelphia because of tli. former's nerlous lung trouble. They went to live up In the mountains ot Alpine county, remote from civilization and Several mlle3 from any neighbor. The couple got their livelihood by hunting and culti vating a few acres ot land about their lonely cabin. Grizzled old gold miners with their Jackasses ladon with grimy camp outfit and blankets came by the Ellis camp frequently. One of the men lay ill there for several weeks, while he was nursed to health nnd vigor by Mr. and Mrs. Ellis. The miner reward ed them for their kindness by stating how they might find recreation and piollt In hunting through the canyons and foothills In that region for "pay dirt." He showed them where he be lieved tl'.ere were Indications of gold bearing gravel, that he himself would work but that he hnd better prospects a hundred miles farther up the coast. For days at a time the young husband and wife tramped up and down tne gulches In Alpine county looking for specks In gold, but all without avail They aban doned seeking riches In the placers, and confined their attention to their little ranch. One afternoon as Mr. Ellis was driv ing homo the family cow she vent seek ing stones to throw for the amusement of the dog. 3h3 saw In the coarse gravel a dark, dull, yellow 3tone and picked It up. "I knew from that mo ment I picked It up," says she, "that I had found gold, because It was ro heavy, but Mil I hod never seen a real nugget, I was afraid my husband would laugh at me." The nugget has never been utilized In gold working, and Is still kept for exhibition purposes. It Is phenomenally clear. The chunk was the size of a croquet ball.but very rough and battered by rolling and tumbling In water for ages. Mrs, Ellis got $2,250 for that find. She and her husband lost no time In looking for more mineral treasure In Alpine county, but such luck comes but once to 99 people out of WO.
