SIGNS OF GOLD VEIN FRENCH VILLAGE
The peaceful village life in Coudray-Montceaux, in the Seine et Oise, only half an hour's ride by train from Paris, has been greatly excited by the discovery of metal bearing sand, the color of which indicates a gold vein, less than twenty-five feet below the surface of the ground. Samples of the sand have been sent to State chemists, who refuse to make any comment until the analyses are completed. The discovery was made on the farm of a retired Government clerk while drilling for water.
Speculation in adjoining properties, however, has already begun, owners of the land refusing offers four times the former value of their property, although as yet they have nothing definite to justify the belief that a new Klondike has been discovered. In fact, a reporter succeeded in getting a handful of the sand, which he brought back to Paris. He was assured by a chemist after a moment's examination of it that it was nothing more than ferruginous flakes (fool's gold), similar to the iron pyrites which early explorers in America brought to Europe by shipload.—New York Herald.
