EMIGRATION TO THE WESTERN
GOLD REGIONS.

Every indication from the gold regions of
the West foreshadows an immense emigra-
ton in that direction during the approaching
summer. From all quarters of the country,
the young, the hardy and :he adventurous
are looking to the tempting prospects held
out there. In staid New England and In
"chivalrous" Kentucky, alike. parties of emf
grants are organizing. Since the discovery
Of gold at Pixies Peak aud Cherry Creek it
is probable that some seven or eight thous-
and people have settled in those localities.-
In the vicinity of Cherry Creek quite vii
lage has already grown up, having popula-
ton of some fifteen hundred. There is
very little doubt, judging from the reports OF
army officers and other reliable persons, thu,
gold really exists there, and perhaps in grea,
abundance. II il be so, the emigration o
the coming season will fairly drvelope the
nurifprous qualities of the soil, for we doub
not that at least seventy.i five thousand nd.
vcnturers, from the East md from the West
will turn their faces towards it in the coming
spring.
II these Western territories should fulfil
the promises they now hold forth, and
should prove as rich in mineral wealth u.
California, Oregon and the Fraser river dis.
tricts, the Eext census will show some extra
ordinary facts with reference to the compara
tive population of different sections of thi,
country. We know that, subsequent to the
California emigration, the census exhibited
n considerable diminu,ion in the per centagt
of increase in some of the Atlantic States
and even Il positive decrease in the popnla
tiun of some of tho counties in the State O.
New York. And the same thing was mani
Tested at the time that the agricultural wealtl
of the now settled Western and Northwes
tern States was entcing emigration from til,
East. Within the ten years which hav,
elapsed since the discovery Of gold in Cali
fornia the population of that State has in
creased from twenty-six thousand to owe
half n million. In that time, from one tt
two millions of people have passed TO ant
from California from the East-some to be
come portion of its regular population
some to carry the spirit of enterprise whicl
sent them forth still further along the shores
of the Pacific, into fresher fields; some t
realize their dreams and return independent
and some to die, with the coveted cup o
prosperity half raised 10 .heir lips.
Looking at the prospects which Kansa
and Nebraska, Arizona and British Colum
bia now present, in connection with tn
growing spirit Of enterprise manifestng it
self in all portions Of the country, it can b

MnAN.-Milan, the capital of Lom-
hardy, and the headquarters Of the
allied army, has population Of about
100, 900 persons, not including the
Austrian garrison and the strangers
temporarily resident there. 1t is sit
uated in wide open plain, between
the Olona and Saveso rivers, tributa-
res of the river Pc. 1t has been the
scene Of many conflict of arms be-
tween rival nations, and has at differ
ent times, been under the dominion of
Spain, Austria and France. 1t was
twice captured by the French, and in
1905 the first Napolean made it the
Capital of the Kingdom of Italy. BY
the treaty Of 1915 it was restored to
Austria, with the adjoining territory.
Milan is very ancient city, being
founded 400 years before the Christian
era. 1t was inhabited and embel-
lished by many Of the Roman Emper-
ors. and has been the birthplace of
many eminent men, including num-
Der of Popcs. 1t was several times
almost destroyed during the wars
which desolated the European Cont
nent. 1t now contains many fine pub
lie buildings, and the Cathedral, be-
gun in 1886, is one of the finest in
the world. 1t also contains the
Church Of Ambrogio, where the En-
perors Of Germany We're crowned.
The city is nearly of circular shape,
enclosed on three sides by wall sur
rounded by ramparts, nearly eight
miles in circumference, and entered by
ten gates. 1t is distant from Vienna
about 400 miles.

the firm impressed npon their memories in
letters of gold. Hundreds who had been
toiling for years in these rugged mountains,
and who had deposited their all with them,
awoke from pleasant dreams of home and
the loved ones one beautiful morning, and
foundthemselves pennifess through their du-
plicity. Some, nothing daunted, with fresh
courage piled the pick and spade, and soon
made up their losses; while not a few, weary
and despondent, gave up all hope and sank
down under the weight, never to rise again
But, on the other hand, what glorious
benefit this same failure has been to those
who are constitutionally opposed to labor.
1t was a regular ''bnmper" from
pit to dome and the free list suspended. 1t
has been their bread and drlnk-they have
supped on it, breakfastcd on it, dined on it.,
and now, having studied their subject so
thoroughly, they ''trarel on it."
Go ask the first seedy customer You meet
on the street the cause of his dilapidated
condition. Like duck, he will turn his
watery eyes heavenward, and answer, "Ad-
ans l. Co." He touches the sympathetic
chord in your .'buzzum," and in the SIM
plicity of your inexperienced heart you try
to encourage him:
'But, my friend, you should not let this
little transaction cast you down-there is
no country where labor meets with a surer
reward than this-go to work, and you can
soon regain your fortune"
"Ah," he will drawl out, sits all very
