who delve beneath the earth's surface
for the shining silver, which brings
competency to and provides labor for
thousands, besides enriching the coun-
try and rearing homes upon the bleak
hills OF this sagebrush land-even build
ing large towns and thrifty villages where
a lizard could scarcely find sustenance.
Other trades are frequently brought to n
stand-still by the freaks of the weather.
A cold snap sometimes interferes with
the work of the plasterer by freezing his
morter; wet spell drives the carpenter
and the bricklayer from his labor. But
he who penetrates the bowels OF the
earth is unaffected by the changes in the
weather. Be it during the severest win

winds are bowling, or in the heat of
summer, when all things melt beneath

same throughout the year; bleak, cold
December and balmy May are the same
to him. Far from the surface, he is
subjected to no Inconvenience such as

surface. 1t seems in the eternal fitness
OF things that the miner should be ex-
empted from some of the evils to which

injury to which men in other business
are strangers. His task is a hard one,
yet he follows it day and night, bringing
to the earth's surface the precious met
ais which throw their colossal wealth
into the lap of commerce. spreading
blessings and contentment through the
land.

thou shalt not do any work, thou northe
