The new impulse lately given to gold
mining has brought new life to many
deserted towns and abandoned camps
in the west. One Of the most notable Of
these resurrections-rev does not
accurately describe the situation-is in
the case of the camp of Florence, Idaho.
In 1851 this camp had population Of
thirty thousand people, with banks,
saloons. hotels and everything that
goes TO the making of a city. 1t was a
placer camp, and gold was plentiful as
gravel while It lasted. But 1t didn't
last long, and in those bonanza DAYS
miners would not stay to work quartz.
So the population deserted Florence as
quickly as 1T came, and for many years
the town was absolutely. deserted. and
as much ruin as ancient Carthage
Recently several good quartz lodges
have been discovered at the old camp,
and Florence is building up again.

If a Michigan chemist realizes his
expectations the sawmills in the pine
forests will become active competitors
ofthe Louisiana sugar plantations. The
audacions scientist declares that he can
make granulated sugar out of sawdust.
and in support of his claim he exhibits
a substance which looks, smells and
tastes like glucose. He says that he
first converts the sawdust into starch
and turns the starch into sugar, which
he declares crystallizes into as pretty
granul ated sugar as was ever turned
out of sugar refinery. But his most
astonishing claim is that when he has
perfected his process he will have no
use for n tariff or bounty, for he will
make sugar cheaper than Cuba, China,
Germany or any other count bean pos
stbly produce it.
