SEARCHING FOR GOLD.

Advices received at Washington, Nov. 7, from the States and Territories which have heretofore been known principally because of the production of silver. Indicate that the repeal of the Sherman sil-ver-purchasing law may not prove to be an unmixed evil. Inquiry made among tho Senators, members and delegates representing all these States and Territories develops the fact that In most of them the miners and prospectors have begun to exert themselves in the direction of a search for gold mines and are prosecuting this work with unwonted vigor. In Colorado, Montana, Idaho,'Utah. Arizona and New Mexico several new gold eamps have been opened which promise well, and work has also been resumed in many abandoned placers and in quartz mines which had been deserted.

A poor man is alleged to have robbed tho South Bend Tribune's dog of a soupbone that bad been purchased by the '‘devil” for tne canine attache. The “devil” pursued tho thief and compelled b*m to return the bone to the "purp.”
