whether true or not:
Two gray-haired women. both were past
middle life. are about to set out for the
gold fields Of Nevada, where they expect
to find and open UP a prodigiously rich
vein of gold. the situation of which
was instantaneously revealed to them in
a vision.
Both of these women are old residents
Of New Jersey and nave been TRENDS
for many years. Both are practical BUSH
ness women. and the appearance OF this
remarkable dream, waicn came TO tneIn
at the same hour Of the morning wnen
each was sleeping at her home, some

inexplicaDle to themselves as to otners.

Christmas.' Then Immediately there
came into my mind a strong, irresistible
impression OF NY friend, Miss Smilu, and
directly following it the vision of a vast,
desert country broken by low lying hills
and mountains covered VITA sage brusu
and between them little swales or hol-

scene was indescribably dreary and des-

beneath the surface Of the earth, and
there I saw, as clearly as see your face
now. great veins and drifts and pockets

MIL and come down it's southern expo

spot where the gold lay and stood point

hands and snovels over their shoulders.

and Miss Smith.
