greatest prominence and attract wide
comment. As an instance of the latter
we give below an editorial from the
South ~Pasadenan inspired by an arti-
Gle from Mr.. CAROLS pen giving
the latest news from the worlds great
est gold mining camp. The editor com-
ments in the following breezy manner
"Have you read the letter from Gold

not, just drop this bit Of drivel and
turn right to it now and read it at

upon every time. And when he tells
you that men who walked into Gold
field because they did not have money
to pay their way, can now draw their
check in four, five, six or seven iig-
ures, you may depend it - Il truthful
statement that can be backed with al
tidavits if necessary.
"There have been many greatest
gold camps ever discovered but un-
til Goldfeld doomed up ON the horizon,
none OF them could deliver the goods.
Goldfield can. The waller stuff Is
there in abundance. All that is neces-

while you are doing it, you are rob-

gagged in the most honorable, uplifting
calling on the face of the earth.
Every dollar the ordinary business
man makes comes from the efforts
of some other business man, and in
making it there has simply been an eX-
change made. Every dollar the miner
makes adds just another dollar to
the wealth of the world, and makes
life easier, happier and better for its
production.
Every old grizzled miner who roans
the desert in search of that fortune
he has been seeking 80 long is a

Does he always scrutinize the
ground closely as he travels? Not at

along in a ~listless manner and APP
