nous. How did he get his startl With
pick and shovel, climbing the rugged
peaks, often hungry and cold. Year
in and year out he may have searched in
vain, but at last the precious treasures of
the mountains are his. But some never find
it,
It's an old story in the mining camp to
hear some fellow say that If he should
strike it rich that season he would visit his
people in the east, which perchance he has
not done for ten, fifteen. or even twenty
years. But he does not strike it, and year
after year he drifts further away from the
thoughts and associations of his childhood.
There are fortunes for some and poverty
Tor others. The question often comes by
letters from the east. 'Can make money

honest answer. Nobody knows; you must
try for yourself. WILL G. FERRIL.
