The Road to Wealth,

In my opinion, the secret of money
making depends chiefly upon five
things-push, "squareness," clear head
edness, economy and rigid adherence
to the rule Of not overworking. Too
much work is worse than no work at
all. 1t undermines the constitution
and units a man mentally and phys
ically for the battle Of life Ten hours
day of steady work is as much as any
man-no matter how robust-ought to
attempt. In addition to these things,
avoid being too grasping; better make
a small profit by sure means than at
tempt to make larger one by uncer-
tain and risky Observation-Disclosures

The EnOrmity Melted.

There was especial opposition to the
disturbance of the old Granary burial
ground adjoining the Common In Bos-
ton, through portion Of which the
subway runs. 1t was necessary to re-
move the remains Of $40 persons In
tered there. One elderly man OF
Scotch descent made great fuss over
what he termed 1.-The enormity Of mo-
testing the bones of his ancestors"
After much argument, delay and per-
suasion the venerable Scot was in
duced to agree that If the city would
construct a tomb according to his
ideas he would consent to the removal
without causing further trouble. On
the day the vault was completed the
guardian of his progenitors was taken
over to inspect this new repository.
"Now," said DR.. Green, former
mayor, who had charge Of the work OF
removing the bodies, ''you can set a
day and the remains can be brought
over and deposited here"
"What" exclaimed the old gentle
man. "Have that nice new tomb lit

ner in which their property is being managed, and
policy OF secrecy the minority will ask the courts
to compel the board to disclose TO them everything
1t has done and is doing with the property.

tains the majority OF the stock. He was seen last

time the companys expert engineer would have
reached here from Alaska and would he able to tell
the stockholders just what kind OF property they
own.
This expert is Henry L. Wiley. ex-Surveyor Cen
eral OF the state OF california When the fan1e
Basin Gold Placer Mining Company was formed
about two years ago Mr.. Wiley had reported the
property TO be valuable one. Since that time
rumors have been circulated that other experts

Muhleman says he has sent for Mr.. Wiley to come
East at and explain the true state of affairs TO
the company before any more money is spent In
developing the property.
M Muheman declares that about $4,000 has been
obtained by the sale Of stock, and that about N0.CO

means Of tunnel. which lake prevented the placer
being worked proftably. Mr.. Muhleman said that
