been rewarded by finding a number of
different varieties of rock that seemed
to be valuahle
A box of samples of this rock was

cal chemist In Philadelphia, and an
analysis shows that the ore yields
gold to the alue of $14.43 per ton, gold
being worth $20 60 per ounce The find

Is found upon the suiface of the

Yesterday marked the beginning of
another week of The Tribune's Edu
cational Contest. There are now less
than five weeks left for the contest
ants to finish their work In, as tho
contest closes on Saturday evening,
September 29, at 9 o'clock. There will
unquestionably be some very aggres
lve "hustling" done toward the close
of this competition, but the leaders In
the contest should not make the pos
sibly fatal mistake of leaving their
best work until the closing hours, as
others may do the same thing, and by
bringing in enough returns of new
subscribers succeed In vv Inning by a
very narrow margin. These are the
days to do the work get a sufficient
lead to Insure against nervousness as
to the final result
Harry Reese brought In enough
points yesterday to pass Miss Grace
Slmrell, of Carbondale, and tie with
Miss Fannie n. Williams, of Peckville,
for seventh place. He is now only a
few points behind Arthur Kemmerer,
of Factor ville, and the distance Is the
same between Kemmerer and nugene
Uoland for fifth place. Illchard Rob
erts made a slight gain on John P.
Smith In an effort to get away from
thirteenth place. Otherwise the posi
tions remain unchanged.
There will be plenty of time during
the remaining four weeeks and a frac
tion for new talent to take hold and
see what capabilities they possess for
trying to advance their own Interests.

wards and the conditions of the con

Deafness Cannot be Cured.
by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is onlv on
way to cure deafness, and that Is by cemtltu
tlonal remedies. Deafness is caused by an In
named condition of the mucous lining of the
Fustachian Tube, When this tube get Inflamed
you have a rumbling sound of Imperfect hear
Ing, and when It Is entirely closed deafness
Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to Its nor
mal condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever! nine eases out ol ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an Inflamed condlion of the
mucous surfieu.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any esse
of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot bis
cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure, Send for clreu.

Wall Street Review.
New v. oi k, Aug 27 1 liens was some difposl
tlon to sill utocKs tndav and the market showed
settling ten Icncv throughout Sugar absorbed
cloxe to one fourth of the dj'k total dealing
and its narked vviaknes doutitlesn had aome
sympathetic elfect on the list of the list Senti
ment was arTccted also by the apparent abau
ilorment of anv poolers for a rise Unites the
wiakness of sugar might be called such, there
was no mgeney in the liquidation, but thire
was an absence of buying demand The weaknea
of sugnr found no evplamtlon in any news an
nouncement of the day. The approach of a quar
terly dividend period gives opport unity for
the usual manipulation of the stock and the
board room tridcrs ,ululantly tiail on to anv
movement in the epeculitinn which promles an
appreciable movement of prices The stock got
down to within H of 118 and cloMid only a
fraction above that upon the demand from fie
room shorts. Pressure against feoplo's Oas and
Urooklyn Itapid Transit seemed to be coupled
witn tne movement aicaiusi sugar in me eany
dealings and later Vmerion Tobacco was forced
down, but this stock, except the last, showed
a tendency to lecover Ilrooklvn Itapid Transit
