PLACER CLAIMS
Will BE WORKED

f. G. Everett is having his business
on the river put in shape for the ap-
preaching seasons work. All the
rifles and bars are being thoroughly
overhauled, and the pipes and rams
are being given trial so as to insure
their being in perfect condition when
needed. When Mr.. Everett returns
from his southern trip he will inaugu-
rate plans that are expected to put at
rest all the talk about the placer mines
not paying at least the expenses of
their operation. We say expenses
because it is a well known fact that an
undertaking of the kind contemplated
cannot be expected to yield enough to
pay the dividends the first year or for
that matter the first two or three
years, or until all the little vexations
that are necessarily part of mining
venture are overcome. The writer
short time after operations at the
placer mines were suspended, made a
preliminary prospect of the dig
gings'' and to his great surprise sever.
al pieces of gold as large as kernel
of wheat was panned out, besides in
other pans numerous pieces of hard
amalgam were panned out, which
shows conclusively that what ever
was done at the mines heretofore was
not done successfully. 1t is hard to
tell what was run overheard but it is
safe to say that more than ever was
suspected was lost to the operators.
To sum it all up in nut shell, the
failure at the placer mines on the Car.
son river was the result of bungling
management on the part of men who
were not thoroughly acquainted with
the nature of the gold and methods
necessary to save it.

IS ALL
THAT IS NEEDED

Old Pine Nut will yet ring with the
hum of industry. Give us the capital
that is now going into the southern
country and we will be able to show
up mines of as great richness as those
that have been advertised to the
world as the Greatest gold mines in
the world" Nowhere in the whole
surrounding country is there better
indications for rich mineral deposits
than in the Pinenut and Red Canyon
districts, and nowhere has there been
as little real development work done
than in the same districts.
But now that the mining interests
of the county have been thoroughly
financed there is no doubt about the
districts showing up in their true
greatness. Capital, the great devel-
oper of mining industries, has in the
past fought shy of this country prin-
cipally because of the little develop
ment work that has been done. To
be sure some very rich deposits have
at times been discovered but in every
instance they have proven to have
been only surface deposits, and the
owners were generally not in posi-
tiou to do anything further than take
out the rich ore on top, and when
finally no capital hove in sight to
abandon their mines to future pros
pectors who in turn would do the
same thing

BETTER PRICES
FOR BEEF

In an interview with a cattleman
last week the opinion was ventured
that the coming year will see the old
prices for beef rule again. The ship
ments of beef from various points IN
the state has opened a practically new
markent for beef cattle and mutton,
which will in great measure reduce
the output of beef for the City
markets and consequently the buy
ers for the coast firms will have to
make more liberal offers to the cat.
tlemen in order to induce them to
sell.
1t was also asserted that the cattle
market of the Pacific coast was con-
trolled by the firm of Miller & Lux,
who if they choose, could bring down
the price of beef cattle to almost any
price that they might see fit. But as
above stated the creating market in
the east for our cattle will force them
to show their hand as they can not
supply the market alone.

Duties of Parents to Children.
Baltimore, Md.

Dear Aunt Jennie Happiness
letter brought me an idea. She
pleads for the children to love, and
praise, and make their mothers hap
py. But let me plead the children's
cause.
The mother has already had
care-free childhood, happy girl
hood, and we will say fairly peace
full life. Now, / think it should be
her first care to see that her chill
dren are care free, and heart free,
for as long as possible. Oil give
them all the JOY you can crowd into
youths feeting years, for how soon
come the cares of life and the de-
ceitfulness of riches Cor the curse
of abject poverty, it may be) to
crush out the hope and joy of our
earlier years. Soon enough your
daughters merry laughter will be
changed into mourning, and her
smiles into tears, so chide her not
for hearty, though boisterous laugh
ter. had rather hear genuine hear
ty laugh than all the simpering,
snickering, giggling we hear from
our up-to-date girl of to-day.
And our boys soon will be men,
with life's duties devolving upon
them. So let them whistle, and
romp, and make a noise. Mother,
don't be impatient when your son is
thoughtless. He will be thoughtful
soon enough, and you will be wish
ing you had him back, your own
gay, happy, boy of old.
Oh! life! life! how soon thy
changes ring! Only fifteen years
ago I was the only and beloved child
of my parents; and now, ah now! I
am orphaned indeed, for both are
laid to rest. How happy they made
my childhood! And if they had not,
/ should have missed all the JOY of

From Our Maryland Correspondent.

Dear Aunt Jennie Il am delight
ed to see so many nice letters from
new members. All the letters are
very interesting. And you can never
know how much l enjoyed them the
three weeks of my illness. Last
weeks letters were especially good;
and how I enjoyed "Aunty's."
Rebecca's letter cheered me won
derfully. l quite agree with her and
Nellie about kindness. Only a kind
word-yet it cheered an aching
heart, and brought a smile to a sad
dened face. l certainly found who
my friends were when I was i'll.
Many whom l thought were friends
disappointed me and were too busy
to visit me and help to cheer and
brighten the long hours. Friends
IN sunshine but gone when trouble
comes, are not worth having. Still,
had many true friends who did
come, and how 1 did appreciate the
beautiful flowers they brought to
Gheer and brighten my room. Like
6ebecca l would much prefer the
flowers now while I can enjoy and
appreciate them, than to have my

life, for the sorrows of later years
would have been overwhelming if it
had not been that / came into the
conflict strengthened by the remem-
brance and prayers of my mother
and my father. They gave all and
expected nothing in return.
Such Spartan mothers and such
fathers as these are what we need
to-day. There is too much trying to
put that old head on young should
ers, and life's burdens on young
hearts. Look and weep to see the
weary lives of thousands of chill
dren in our United States working
in mills and on farms, for a pittance,
or mere board and scant clothing,
to keep their parents, when their
parents should help themselves. For
in many instances the fathers shirk
and depend on the children's earn
ings to buy food, and alas drink
also in some cases. Many farmer
sits around the country store, while
his little children are laboring on
his old rocky, red-gullied farm! It
is a shame on American manhood! |!
Give the children a chance at school
and at home to develop Drawn and
brain, and to take their places even
tually in the lead of our nation, and
in the upbuilding of our race, and
the founding of our homes. This is
why we have so many children wear
ing glasses. so many being treated
for infrmities which naturally be-
long to age, and suffering the de-
crease of brain power that should
not come until late in life. Forcing
the brain, and overtaxing. the body,
have both the same fatal result!
Children should have rest, plenty
of sleep and of good food, fresh air,
kindness, love and patience, to be
what we desire them to be as men
and women.
With love to Aunt Jennie and the
Chatterers, and success to our pa
per, I am,

But through life let Hopes bright
