the director of the mint. 1T requires cap

business grows more and more legitimate
every year, and no man should think of put
that there is some probability of getting it
out. II young man has but little capital
ne should not invest before he has learned
something OF mining. He should study the
business and seek the advice of experts and
be sure that the experts are honest. None
of the large companies ever put money into
mines without sending out their experts
Take the London Exploration company, for
instance. They paid not long ago 81 500, 900
for the 'Tom-boy. They had it tested for
four months before they consented to the
purchase. Such companies have number Of

Preston. "All of the gold states of the
West have good properties and good pros
poets. Arizona and California are as good

the man who does not understand the bust
ness, or who is not prepared to stay in the
gold regions long enough TO learn it, had
better keep his money and remain at home"

Der of the best of the gold mines were
abandoned years ago on account of
losing the vein at certain depth.
1t was then thought that gold did not
extend very deep into the earth, and
when the miners had gone down 800
or 900 feet and lost the vein, it was be-
lieVed that the end of the gold had
come and that the vein had petered
out. 1t is found, however, that by 60
ing down little further the vein may
may be often rediscovered and some
times that it will be richer than ever
This was the case with the famous
Gwinn mine. This mine was very
rich. 1t had yielded fortunes, but the
vein was thought to have played out.
A new company took hold of it not
long ago. They sunk the shaft a few
feet further and another big fortune
was opened to view. This is also the
case with the Kennedy mine and
others.
Another theory that has been ex-
ploded," continued Mr.. Preston, els
that gold can only be found in one or
two kinds of rocks. They now find
gold in everything. 1t occurs in sand
stone, shale, slate and clay. 1t is
often found in gravel, and you have
seen the statements recently pub
lished about the vast amount of the
yellow metal which is in solution in the
waters of the sea. There is a man in
Australia who has been experimenting
upon this for the last five years. 1
believe he estimates that there is aboue
a grain of gold in a ton of water or
between 100 and 200 tons of gold in a
cubic mile. One of his estimates is
that if the gold could be gotten out CT
the ocean we would have more than
100, 000, 100000 tons of gold This is little
good to the world, as no means has yet
been discovered of getting the gold out.
The new processes, however, are stead
lily increasing the possible supply from
the regular sources, There is a vast

1t is almost a pity that Mr.. Howells'
reputation is of such a character that
he has nothing to gain by THE Land
lord at Lions Head" 1t is the kind
of novel that would make a lesser
mans place in letters; it is the kind
of novel that takes one back to Mr..
Howells' own earlier period when his
sociological preaching was none the
less forceful because it was less evil
dent than that of later years, which
has found small favor with his ad-
mirers; so perhaps after all its i'm
pOrtance in even his literary career is
not to be discounted because of his at
tanned success.

nit as imperative and importunate as

before it, was boldly sculptured against

relations with the big smelling estab-

statements as to the amounts of gold

from the officers of the minis in diff

his mail brings him reports monthly
from the gold regions of Africa, Aus

There is neither moral growth nor de-
