dream OF the same place In each vision
appeared IA tall pine, towering above the
surrounding forest, aud a deep ravme, with
a stream OF silvery water winding through
| it, deep sunk between two mountains
These mountains seemed Characteristic
or the country. They were abrupt peaks
r1slng high above the surrounding foot
hills, outlined gray and cold against a
bright blue sky. But what mountains they
were, or what direction to take to find
them, Mrs. Law had no idea.
The firsttinle this fsion-for it was more
| than dream-came to her she was sleep
| ing upon couch in her home in Kansas
| City, No, one hot afternoon last summer.
she paid no attention 10 it then, nor did
repetition which came to her a few
| weeks after, cause her any particular
thought. But when month later this
| same scene presented Itself III her sleep,
| she remarked upon the coincidence to her
| huSband-who, with that contempt which
| all men feel for women's dreams, merely
| ridiculed the matter. The following night,
| however, Mrs. Law again dreamed OF the
| lone pine tree, the winding stream, the
| twin mountains, and the blue sky, and she
| now urged her husband to seek this vision
| airy land of wealth, but he laughed at her
| for taking the matter seriously. But the
| dream, whatever its origin, was singularly
| persistent; and not long after this unknown
| country once more appeared in the slup-
| bers OF Mrs. Law Then, after some days
| OF consideration, she told woman friend
| OF her strange experience.
Miss Frances |. Carr was more interested
| and Impressed than Mrs Laws husband
| had been, and she, with Mrs. Law, attempt
| ed the organization Of a stock company.
| Never, probably, was company started
| under more unauspicious circumstances. a
| few enthusiastic persons had faith in the
| vision, but none OF them had the slightest
| idea where this land of wealth was located,
! and it was entirely through accident that
| Mrs. Law eventually discovered it,
A pleasure journey took lier through Colo
| RADIO. The way was long, and the trip
| across the seemingly eternal flatlands had
| become almost intolerable, when, suddenly,
| as the train was entering the foothills, as
| she glanced through the car window, there
| arose before her astonished gaze, clear and
| distinct against the blue Colorado sky, the
| familiar twin mountains OF her vision AS
| tile train pursued its sinuous way, there
| appeared before her waking eyes the val
| ley which she had seen so often in sleep,
| and through the center flowed the silvery
belt of water which had become so familiar.
'''Tis the land OF my dreams-my Ell
| Dorado exclaimed Mrs Law. Gold is
| there and | know it!'' Her eXclamations
| excited some comment among the passen-
| gers, but no one thought seriously about it.
| But some weeks later Mrs Law, accom-
| panied by two friends and her husband
| who had ceased to -be ceptiCal-appeared
| on blackboard in the vicinity of what is
| now the outskirts of Cripple Greek, and
| with determination not to be daUn ted by
| difficulties, staked out a claim in the
| valley.
| Mrs Law was now able to organize a
| company incorporated under the name of
| The Dream Lode Mining Company twas
| formed entirely of women, and a woman
| lawyer was employed to see that it was
| duly credited in Kansas City with goo 900
| shares, at S. each
I The Dream, as it is called, assays So
| per ton, and under improvement gives
| promise of trebling that amount.
| 1t is distinguished, not alone as the only
| paving mine, SO far as records show, which
| has been discovered through the agency OF
] dream, but is also remarkable as being
/ the only mine in Colorado owned and op-
| Grated by women. The most insignificant
| details OF the country in which the claim
! is located were known to Mrs. Law long
| before she ever saw Colorado. Such minute
as the stump of a tree blasted by lightning,
! huge boulders of peculiar form, and even
] the outline of the mountain slopes had
| been made familiar to her by her repeated
| visions.
| Mrs. Law does not attempt toexplain the
| marvellous way in which the hidden wealth
| was Indicated to her. She says she was
/ never given to day dreams, and always
prided herself as being practical wo-
| man.
Il simply dreamed it several times in
| succession, and that which began in a
! dream has ended in a reality is all she
| attempts to say of a fact which seems
| stranger than fiction. Both she and her
| husband are well known in social circles in
| Kansas City.
