REVEALED IN A DREAM.
A Vision OF Gold Mine That In Reality
Came to Pass.

A Vision OF Gold Mine That In Reality
Came to Pass.
To dream of a gold mine IN distant
part of the country and from such data
to locate the claim among hundreds OF
others is piece Of luck that the Oldest
prospector would hardly dare to hope
for.
Yet woman living 200 miles from
that Ell Dorado known to the outer world
as Cripple Creek, following the dictates
of seven times repeated vision. has
succeeded in doing this very thing, and
is today operating one of the most sue
cessful mines in the whole district.
Seven consecutive times did Mrs.
Law dream of the same place. In each
vision appeared a tall pine, towering
above the surrounding forest, and a deep
ravine, with stream of silyery- water
winding through it, deep sunk between
two mountains. These mountains SEEM
ed characteristic Of the country. They
were abrupt peaks rising high above the
surrounding foothills, outlined gray and
cold against a bright blue sky. But
what mountains they were, or what dl-
rection to take to find them, Mrs. Law
had no idea.
A pleasure journey took her through
Colorado. The way was long, and the
trip across the seemingly eternal fiat
lands had become almost intolerable,
when suddenly, as the train was entering
the foothills, as the glanced through
the car window, there arose before her
astonished gaze, clear and distinct
against the blue Colorado sky, the IA
miliar twin mountains Of her vision. AS
the train pursued its sinuous way there
appeared before her waking eyes the
valley which she had seen so often IN
sleep, and through The center flowed the
silvery belt of water which had become
SO familiar.
.s'Tis the land Of my dreams, my El
Dcrado!'' exclaimed Mrs. Law. "Gold
is there, a1ad l know it. - Her exclama-
tions excited some comment among the
passengers, but 10 one thought seriously
about it. But some weeks later Mrs.
Law, accompanied by two friends and
her husband-who had ceased to be
