Every Detail Impressed Upon Her
Brain Now a Reality.

To dream of gold mine in a distant
part of the country, and from such data
to locate the claim among hundreds of
others, is a piece of luck that the oldest
prospector would hardly dare to hope for.
Yet a woman living twenty miles from
that Ell Dorado known to the outer world

a seven-times-repeated vision, has sue

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 deep faVlne,
