CHICAGO. July **.—While her. to-
day William J. Bryan, who I. going
home after a long tour of th. Bast and

“Imperialism Is situ the’ great l.rue :

more serious malady than stomach
ache."
had card In pocket with name C. L.
Klnard; Sylvester., Do you know him?
Please answer quick."
A short while taler the following re
ply was received:
"C. L. Klnard Is eon,of J. F. Klnard,
prominent farmer near here. Unmar
ried." .
Almost Immediately afterwards
message came from the Sylvester Sup
ply Co.,',of which the elder Klnard la
the head, which read aa follows:
Have wired Inman, Smith & Co. to
look after remains of C. L. Klnard."
Mr. John A. Smith of-Inman, Smith
Co. received a telegram from the
same source asking him to sec that the
remains were prepared for burial and
sent.to Sylvester. Mr. Smith had never
seen Klnard, but hi* hour* has had
business with the Sylvester Supply Co.
He vlnited the undertaken) and had
the body sent to Sylvester at 1:36.p. m.
yeaterday.
Last night the body wns sent back
to Atlanta, and Is now at the estab
lishment of Hllburn A Poole.
Before the arrival of the remains at
Sylvester preparations were made for
rocctvlng them by the relatives pf Kl
nard. The sorrowing relatives met the
train on which the body had been sent
and with tear-etalned cheeks awaited
tho opening of the casket. Surprise
took the place of grief in an Instant,
for o glance at the mangled form told
plainly that the dead man was not Kl
nard.
A telegram was later received at Syl-.
vester from C. L. Klnard, from Albany,
where he went yesterday morning, sta
ting that he was alive and tvqffi and
that Jt was a esse of mistaken Iden
tity.
Klnard says he was at Lakewood
with the man who was killed, Just a
short while before the engine struck
him. They met on a cor. talked with
each other end Klnard gavo him one of
his business edrds.
Klnard says tho man told him bis
name, but that he has forgotten If! He
says that the stranger stateef that ho
was traveling for a cotton maehtno
company of Massachusetts.
When they returned from Lakewood
Klnard and tho stranger separated'and
he wns last seen by his former com
panion going down Decatur street. Kl
nard says that the man wns not In
toxicated and the only way he can ec
count for the accident is that ho lost
his wur.
Now that Klnard Is known to be
alive, the mystery surrounding the
dead man han Increased. The only due
that may lead to hla Identity are mark,
on his shirt collar. These marks were
made at a laundry and are: "O. 2“
nnd “2*31." The collar Is Vo. |SH,
Inquiry at all the laundries today
showed that none of them used any
marks corresponding with the two
found on the collar.

ATLANTA, July 26.—News has
reached th<* city of the richest soli
discovery yet recorded In Georgia, or
perhaps on this continent. -This Klon
dike If located in Wilkes county.
According to the statement of I. H.
Oppenhelm, one of the owners of the
property, this vein Is the richest ever
discovered, not only In America, but in
the known world.
The property is now owned by the
Columbia Mining Company and Walker
D. Storey. The member® of the Co
lumbia Mining Company are I. II. Op
penhelm, A. Bluthenthal, M. L. Blckart
and W. H. Fluker.
The story of the discovery reads like
a fairy tale.
The property has been owned since
the year 1869 by Hon; L. W. Latimer,
at one time a member of the house of
representatives. Mr. Latimer has al
ways known there was gold bn the
property, but never made any investi
gations, and never even sunk a single
shaft.
An old deaf mute, who bas lived on
the place for years, has for a long time
sustained himself by panning the earth
from different places. The old .man
was supposed to be slightly half-witted,
and would go from the farm houee to
the stable, from the garden to the edge
of the creek, schooplng his pan full of
dirt and washing out the gold In
primitive fashion. He has several
times found nuggets of small value.
The Columbia Mining Company, who
were operating gold mines about twelva
miles from Thomson, Oa.. heard of the
luppofed richness of the property, and
pent Walker D. Storey, a prospector,
to Investigate, on the understanding
that If a strike was made he was to
receive a half Interest.
Storey went on the place and began
his Investigations, first securing an op
tion on 600 acres of land. The object
of hla search was to find the rich vein
that had thrown off the Immense quan
tities of surface ore.
Selecting what he thought a suitable
spot, ho commenced to sink a shaft.
Within twelve feet of tho surface a
vein of gold was struck, running ob
liquely across the side of the shsft.
After following the vein for a dis
tance of some seven feet, Storey noti
fied the company of his find and im
mediately prepared for an assay of
the ore.
This part of the story Is best told by
a series of affidavits now In the pos
session of Mr. Oppenhelm. These re
late. briefly, as follows:
Mr. Latimer, the owner of the prop
erty, weighed fifteen sacks of the ore
taken from the mine by Storey, the
gross weight being 1.407 pounds. Tn
his wagon this ore was hauled to the
mill of the Columbia company across
the country for thirty miles nnd then
milled. To the Intense dePght and as
tonishment of the spectators, the sacks
of ore yielded no less than 1,785 pen
nyweights of puro gold, valed at about
81,700.
W. H. Fluker. the superintendent of
the Columbia Mining Company, then
made nn assay of the ore, nnd makes
affidavit that the sample showed a
valtie of 822,640 to the ton.
These facts were at once communi
cated to Mr. Oppenhelm in Atlanta, and
he and Mr. Blckart hurried Imme-
dlntely tn the mines. Th* bargain wns
closed, and the entire 600 acres purchas
ed for 18.000.
The little town of Thomson has gone
wild over the discovery. Mr. T. A.
Scott, the president of the local bank.
Is being overwhelmed with letters of
Inquiry from all directions.
Mr. Oppenhelm said ibis morning
that a new f company would be imme
diately formed, consisting of the mem
bers of the Columbia Company and Mr.
Storey. The new company will be
known as the Latimer Mining Com
pany.
On Mr. Oppenhelm’s desk In his of
fice on Alabama street, lay n magnifi
cent mass of gold. It was shaped not
unlike a big squash, and little pin
points of brightness glittered all over
It. It wss the amalgam from tho fif
teen sacks of ore.
’•You can fairly see the gold In every
direction In th* shaft.” eatd Mr. Op
penhelm. “The hanging* wall and the
foot wall arc filled with It, In addition
to the vein Itself. YVe have every rea
son to believe that other and equally
rich veins are in the neighborhood, and
will at once begin to prospect (or
them. Our superintendent. Mr. Fluker.
Is authority for the statement that th*
vein of gold is the richest ever dis
covered.”
The vsln Is described as about five
Inches In breadth, some seven «r eight
feet of It being now exposed. How
much more there Is Is entirely s mat
ter of conjecture, but the richness of
neighboring soil has convinced Mr.
Oppenhelm that his company has struck
an Immensely valuable property.

PITTSBURG. July 26.—The National
Tube Works Company at McKeesport,
has made an unexpected move intended
to checkmate the Amalgamated Asso
ciation. Their skilled workmen have
been asked to sign individual contracts
to practically repudiate any union la
bor, and they have been given but a
short time to think the matter over.
It Is understood that should they’not
sign the contracts they will find their
positions vacant and the axe is ex
pected to fall tomorrow.
It transpired today that late on
Thursday evening the €00 welders of
the mills were paid off and then taken
Into the office of the general superin
tendent, where they were presented
with individual contracts to be signed
for at least a year. Some demurred,
while others signed the contracts.
This movement, fighting fire with five,
carried consternation .Into the ran?.s?
of the strikers. The welders are high
ly skilled workmen, and with their co
operation the big plant might be closed
down. With them In line* the plant will
probably keep on running as though
nothing had happened.
It was intimated tonight by friends
of the welders that they would all fifeo
the contracts.
A telegram from McKeesport late to
night says:
"It was reported on good authority
In McKeesport tonight that the em
ployes of the Boston Iron and Steel
Works and the National Rolling Mill
at McKeesport, both plants of the Na
tional Tube Company, will come out on

comes from Mingo Junction, O., to
night:
Dr. W. J. O’Connell, mayor of this
town, said today: ”I nm with the
Amalgamated men in this fight to the 4 wit;
end, with my head, my heart, my
murcle and my money. If It ever comes
to the point In this town, tho municipal
officers will not stop the Amalgamated
men from doing picket or any other
legal acts to keep men from coming In

SENATOR HANNA’S VIEWS.
CLEVELAND, O.. July 28.—Refer
ring to the statement that he would
be ssked to act as mediator between
the Amalgamated Association and tk*
United States Steel Corporation, with
% view to reaching a settlement of tho
strike, Seneator Hanna said today:
"I know nothing about the matter,
aside from whnt has been published
In th* newspapers. Whether I would
be willing to act as a mediator, I do
not care to say. The strike has been
most unfortunate, not only for thosv
Indirectly Interested, but for the coun-*
try at large. I hope the trouble will
soon be amicably adjusted.”
