grRANaE DREAM oF GoLp.

past middle life, are about to set out for the gold fields of Nevada, where they expect to find and open up pro- digiously rich vein of gold, the situa- tion of which was simultaneously re- Vealed to them in dream.
 Both the women are old residents of New Jersey, and have been friends for many years. Both are practical busi- ness women, and the appearance of this remarkable dream, which came to them at the same hour of the morn- ing when each was sleeping at her home, something more than four miles apart, is as inexplicable to them- selves as to others.
 Tt was a strange circumstances, saidgMrs. Caroline J. Ohls at her home on Willow Brook farm, near Plain field, N. J. T have never experienced anything like it before I have always been too busy and practical a woman to be much Of a dreamer of dreams or a seer of visions, and I don't know now whether this was dream or vision or direct leading from God. But whatever it was I mean to heed it. It was too strong, too definite, too real to disregard it. To me it is a mere matter of business. I have re- ceived call, summons, direct in- formation as to where I shall find the gold that I have needed so sadly in the last fifteen or sixteen years, and shall go to find it just as soon as can get ready. We hope to be able to leave here by January 1. One of the strange things about this call is that l have never been at all interested in gold mining, never thought or read much about it. And although I had heard and read something about the gold fields of Nevada, it had been in such superficial and indifferent man her that I hardly even knew where tEey were situated
 "On Monday morning, November 27, about O clock, it seemed to me that something stood at the head of my bed and walked me out of sound sleep I don't know that heard a voice, but something seemed to say to me, Get up, there is much for you to do. You must go to Goldfeld, Nevada, between now e1llQ 4NOW | CcbI o' I4AGll lllllIlSQlttlOly there came into my mind strong, ire sistible impression of my friend Miss Smith, and directly following it the vis- sion of a vast, desert country broken by low-lying hills and mountains covered with sage brush and between them lit- tie swales or hollows. The whole sur face of the earth seemed parched dry 4O14Avu and thn XUa irdn- scribably sharp and desolate As this picture unrolled before me seemed to look down beneath the surface of the earth and there saw, as clearly as see your face now, great veins and and drifts and pockets of gold and deep, very deep, down in the earth, what seemed to be a molten mass of yellow quartz, which seemed to know was the lode.
 Suddenly I saw two women climb the hill and come down its southern exposure and they stopped just over the spot where the gold lay and stood pointing downward. They had picks in their hands and shovels over their shoulders, and you may imagine my surprise when I tell you that the wom- en were myself and Miss Smith.
 T was not asleep at the time. could see the daylight beginning to come in the sky and noticed various things on my dresser and in my room, but still the vision of that desert place was before my eyes. I would know it anywhere and I will know it when reach it. I can see it no was plainly as I did then.
 At first was dazed and bewildered. Then I thought I had been dreaming. I jumped out of bed all of trem- ble and without waiting for breakfast, jumped on my horse and started off to the house of my friend, expecting to find her in bed and sound asleep. But before I reached the house she rushed out to meet me. She had her hat and coat on and her face was red and ex- cited.
 T was just coming to find you she cried. I have had the strangest dream or vision
 "'About gold mine? I shouted. She nodded vigorously
 :" Tn a desert kind of a place? On  n mountain side-'e
 "She stood still and stared at me in Rmazament.
 "'And you and found vast field of gold? Were you called, Hatty? Did something tell you that we must start for Goldf1eld, Nevada, before Christ mas?'
 "She turned as pale as a ghost while she answered and told me that just as I had been called so had she and re- peated to me an exact description of the very place that had seen There was something queer and awesome about it, but we both felt that there was no question about the summons In the mind of neither has there ever been one thought of hesitation, al-
