FAILED TO FIND WEALTH.
So Broken Old IVospector Bet urns
From Alaska to Civilization.
After 29 years wandering through
the bleak, snow-covered- wastes of
Alaska In search of gold. with
starvation ' prodding him onward
and death stalking his heels. Michael
Murry has returned to St. I-ouis to
spend his last days. Murry is old,
broken and almost poverty-stricken"IUie
best years of his life hnve been
frpelnt in a fruitless search for hidden
woklth?the end of tht; rainbow,
which was always Just ahead but
never reached.
ft was Michael's romantic, roving
nature which brought him to AmerIcu
from Ireland at tho age of 2 4
year*. After a few months ho sent
for his brother Patrick, and the two
settled In St. Louis. For a time they
were contented, but Michael, finding
that he could not accumulate wealth
at the wages prevalent in those days,
became restive. About that timo
news of the sensational gold strike in
the Klondlko was wafted to the
world. Michael decided to try his
luck.
In .the spring of 1891 he arrived
at Fortymlle. on tho Yukon river.
From that day until two years ago
his brother heard nothing from him.
During the 29 years ho roved about
for his fortune he did not see more
than 100 white men and fewer than
a dozen white women. ,
in me spring, ne sain, wnon maws
the three or four feet of snow that
had fallen during the winter, he
would travel BO miles seeking favorable
quart* formations. He would
build himself a moss-chlnkod log
cabin and prospect for gold. Each
October he laid In a supply of food
for the winter.
During the "fish run," which occurs
when the winter Ice begins to
form, Michael was always able to
trap a year's supply of fish In one
day. \ He would kill throe or four
hears at that season. Tho . fat he
would use for oil.
Having lost the goal of his ambition.
Michael decided to return to
civilization. Two months ago he bocame
homesick and decldod to return
to St. Ix>uls.
VAST MKC OF SODA. .
Strange Natural Deposit in British
Fast Africa.
About half way across British East
Africa, close to the former German
frontier, thero Is Magndi Inke, nothing
less than a vast natural deposit
of soda. This strange lake, the only
deposit of It* kind known. Is plctur
eaquely situated amid weird surrounding*
at the bottom of a valley
3.SS0 feet deep. On one aide are
mountains 6,000 feet above sea leyel
and on another a range having' an
altitude of 6.000 feet. The lake Is
<ten miles wide and two or thrbo
miles In breadth, and, seen from the
surrouridtng mountains, has the appearance
of an Immense ruffled
I white sheet.
The surface in ns hard as marble,
i with herd and there deep cracks.
; , It can, however, bo easily broken up.
In the rainy season tho depression is
frequently covered with one to two
feet of water, but in dry weather the
lajte presents the apperance of an
BR Noetic icefield. It is nothing more
^B than a vast deposit of soda, in the
IB form ?f crystalline blocks, each rep^B
resenting on enormous value. Soda
^^R crystals are used in virtually every
household in the world over for
washing purposes. Carbonate of
|^^R ?oda. otherwise known as soda ash.
tad caustic soda are largely used in
^H mmeroai industries, such, for lnB

simple treatment the raw material
taken from the lake can be converted
Into all the commercial forms of
finest quality soda.
No one knows ttie depth of the
lake.. Boring's have so late been siTnk
to only a depth of nine feet. Curiously
enough, too. when excavations
are made. new deposits begin to
form as the result of springs under
the surface. "It Is computed, however,
that there are 200,000,000 tons
of soda In sight.
A railway 100 miles In length and
refineries have been built to handle
160,000 tons of the soda a year, and
altogether the concession, which has
obtained permission to work the deposit,
has spent nearly $5,000,000 on
the venture.
