Miners who have reached here do not
act like people who have suddenly jumped
from poverty to comparative wealth. They
are very level-headed. They went TO the
best hotels, and they are living on the fat
of the land, but they do not thoW money
away, and not one started in to paint
the town red. They have worked so hard
that they appreciate the value OF money.
What they delight In most are theaters and
other anuseInents. They say no one knows
how to enjoy these if he has not spent
