In the early days of California placer
mining the thefts became so numerous
that Judge Lynch had to take a hand
in the affair, and under his severe ruI-
ings the practice languished- 1t was
deemed an offense similar to horse
stealing and no mercy was shown TO
the man who was convicted of the
crime.
Later on when quartz mining set in
it was thought by the owners that
there would be no temptation for
thieving by the men, so vigilance was
relaxed. A certain clique of miners
took advantage of this by seeking en-
ployment in the 'jewelry'' mines
where nearly all-gold bits of ore were
constantly turning up. It was an easy
matter to stow a few of these away
every day, the bootleg being the gen
eraI place Of concedlment
1t was not long before the owners
put a, check on this by hiring guards
who watched the men at all times.

If Samson's digestion had been out of
order, and his blood impure, there would
probably have been different story to tell
about the lion. Men, nowadays, do not or
dinarily have to wrestle with lions. But
there are business problems to struggle with
and business difficulties to overcome, that
are calculated to test their strength and en-
durance fully as much, if not more, than the
lion did Samson's. A man to be successful
must be in good physical condition. This is
as true of the man who workswith his mind
as of the man who works with his muscles.
The man whose brain is poisoned with i'm
pure blood will suffer from headaches and
be listless and lacking in energy, unfit for
