Editor CALIFORNIAN;

6QllOi SAALbC.NAAN
Wednesday, Oct. 2, l was presented
at my home, by a boyish looking young
Mormon Elder, his name card, bearing
the following: elder Delbert Welker
Stafford, Arizona. Mission address, 80
West 126th Street, New York City" He
also presented me with small pamphlet
(3ssx5 in.) of 80 pages entitled "a
Friendly Discussion upon Religious
Subjects" by Elder Ben E, Rich.
After his departure l found out that
the pamphlet was in the interest of
Mormonism. l also found out that
there were "a few truths" not specified
in this little book of his, among which l
would like to enumerate the following;
Where can we find Mormon history
of the Mormon massacres in Utah; done
under the guise of Indians, and other
ways?
Where can we find a Mormon version
of the attempted murder or assassina-
ton" of one of my wife's relatives,
Grandson Newell" by manner
There are many other things that
might be mentioned, but this will answer
for now.
Anyone interested in the above
attempted murder" of Mr.. Newell by
the Norman leaders, Joe Smith, Jr.,
included, can obtain the history of the
affair of myself at ST. Johnsbury Center.

A well-AdvertiSed Savings Bank

A large list of depositors, well scattered
over it's legitimate territory, is one OF
the best advertising mediums Savings
Bank can have. Such being the case, the
HYDE Park Savings Bank must be well
advertised in the State of Vermont.
Read what the Lyndonville Union our
nal says:
Ex-Gov. c. S. Page takes about as
much pride in the growth and success of
the Lamoille County Savings Bank as he
does in the growth and success of his
calfskin and hide business Gov. Page is
the president of this bank. 1t was
started with the idea of not loaning a
dollar outside of Vermont and this prin-
ciple has been strictly followed. The
bank is successful financially because the
people have confidence in the business
ability and integrity of the man at the
head it. If this were not so the bank
would not have depositors from practi-
cally every town in the state.
j This Bank pays per cent compounded
semi-annually on deposits Of 500 or
more.

A Victory.

st. J0hnSDury A. 10, Brigham A. 0.
In a closely contested game ST. Johns
bury Academy defeated the strong team
from Brigham Academy on the campus
Saturday afternoon to the tune of 10 to
O. Although the visitors looked danger
Gus at times it was really st. Johns
bury's game all the way. The first half
was rather slow and uninteresting.
made so by the constant fumbling, pena-
lizing and apparent indifference OF both
teams as to the result. The locals, how
ever, kept the ball in Brigham's territory
and had the down-state boys on the
defensive most of the time. Time was
called with the teams lined up nearly
where they started from and no score
Captain Hill made few shifts between
the periods and his team showed differ
ent lineup for the last halt, the wisdom
OF this move being demonstrated before
the final whistle. Things started off
about the same and continued slow until
Brigham had the ball on St. Johnsbury's
10 yard line with about six minutes to
plays, when the locals began to 'sit up
and take notice" St. Johnsbury found
an opening when Dow tumbled and
Walker was on the ball. Hill punted it
out of the danger zone, and Pudvah
nabbed it for Brigham, only to lose it on
downs. Hill, after trying a couple of
plays against the line for small gains
again punted. This time Walker was
there with the goods. and after perfect
catch carried it over the line for the only
touchdown. Hill kicked the goal, and
later added goal from the field to his
already good record by perfect drop
kick from the 80 yard line, and thereby
noise fest that would put
Conanche Indian to shame. If the last
few minutes of play is sample of what
the Academy boys are going to do the
rest of the season, and we think it is,
there is no need of worrying about |
them in the games to come, as they |
showed winning gait and |
some perfect foot ball. The academy
team plays Goddard Seminary at Barre

Long Strike Settled.

The strike of the St. Adams branch of
the International Machinists' Union
which has continued for over six years,
and which has resulted in the boycott of
the St. Adams machine shops of the
Central Vermont Railway Co. by union
labor has been officially declared off. At
9 o'clock in the morning of May Is,
1901, over 200 machinists and metal
workers employed in the locomotive de-
partment of the Central Vermont Rail
way shops there quit work and walked
out in body. The men were all men,
bers of either the Machinists' or the
Metalworkers' International Union and
left the company on account of the re-
fusal to grant nine-hour day.

Mr.. II. G.. Behneman, president of the
Pomperoy Securities company, returned
a few days ago from Dutchman Creek,
Walker Mining district. and reports
great strikes have been made there of
late. The records of the county re-
corder's office at Hawthorne show that
up to January 2Sth, or in just three
months time, that there were 3,24S no.
tees of location filed there from this
district alone. In a conversation with
Mr.. Behneman he said: 81 believe more
talked of camps in Southern Nevada
will turn out to be mere pickings in the
desert when enough time is given the
new district to develop the mines.
There are hundreds of outcroppings and
there is not a one that you cannot obtain
values from; but the main fact is that
the values are there and all that is
needed is to sink down to the pay dirt.
Their are now eight leases at work
on the Dutchman,' and all getting higher
values as they go down. On the Dutch

'GOLDFIELD IS COVERED
WITH GALLONS FRAMES

when a gallows frame Is erected and
hoist installed in any mining camp in
the world, excepting in Goldheld. the
news is heralded abroad. as IL should
be. for IL means that a considerable sum
Of money is being invested and many
miners given employment, while the
venture may be the means Of adding to
the wealth of the world.
In Goldheld such an occurrence is
never mentioned. except in brief para
graphs. h is because they are being
erected and installed so rapidly that IL
is difficult to keep track OF them and
the constant reiteration of details would
prove monotonous reading.
A News representative one day this
week climbed a little eminence on Flor
ence territory known as Red King hill.
| Although quite a sweep OF eountry was
to be viewed. not half of the Goldfeld
district could be seen. Yet within the
circle to the westward were counted Ga
gallows frames. while to the eastward
there were AZ. These loo hosting works
had nearly as many duplicates out of
view and II was impossible to count the
little mounds of rock where many prop
critics are being worked by windlass.
Last week The News ventured the
guess that there are 225 leases alone, to
say nothing of owning companies, en-
gagged in active work. These figures are
somewhat beneath the correct number
at present as new leases are being let
and work begun every day.
One striking fact is noted, the speed
with which work is undertaken and the
t-horoughness with which it is carried
out. Towering gallows frames. con-
~structed of heavy timbers, seem to arise
in a night and within another day cleo
tricity is purring or gasoline snorting
and a two or three compartment shaft
has begun it's journey downward.
Some leases, given in the early days
of the camp, rave expired and some of
them failed to encounter prospects suf-
iciently promising to cause the prop
erty to be worked on company account.

From these workings the machinery and
timbers have been removed to new
blocks Of ground and a gaping hole is
left. In not a single instance did The
News man in his trip through the hills
note that a barrier had been placed
round the collar of a shaft. This lack
of protection will mean the loss of more
than one life in Goldheid.
1t is generally believed that the en-
tire Goldfeld district is covered either
with alluviai wash or lava flow to a
depth ranging from 100 to 500 feet. This
is true of a small section of the district.
but usually the lodges boldly outcrop.
Especially is this true in the Atlanta.
Gold Bar and c. O. D.. section of the
camp. From a distance these lodges
have the appearance of lava dykes. but
closer inspection reveals their silicious
nature. Lodges one hundred feet in
width are not unusual. Some are true
quartz and others more of a quartzite.
Iron cappings accompany them and the
walls are %porphyry of every color.
The News man was informed by leas-
ers and claim owners that these lodges
rarely assay at any point less than 81
to the ton. making of them one of the
hugest low grade milling propositions
in the world.
Scores of shafts have been started OF
these immense lodges and some of them
are already in shipping ore, for with
depth the burnt appearance leaves the
quartz and il grows softer. In these
soft shoots the values are concentrated
occasionally running very high. To
sink directly through the quartz is al
most an impossibility and few of the
leasers or companies are attempting it.
but are dropping their bores through
the softer hanging wall and catching the
ledge at depth on its dip in the shaft or
prosecuting to it. This method of min
ing is believed to forecast a number of
strikes almost simultaneously as from
the appearance of the dumps the shafts
are nearly all at the same depth at pres
emf.

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scien-
lists are unanimous in the conclu-
sion that the generally accepted lin
itation of the human life is many
years below that attainment possible
with the advanced knowledge of
which the race is now possessed. The
critical period, that determines its
duration, seems to be between so
and 60; the proper care of the body
during this decade cannot be too
strongly urged; carelessness then be-
ing fatal to longevity. Natures best
helper after so is Electric Ditters,

talizes every organ of the body. Guar

"Ostriches are terrible creatures to
have aboard ship in a storm" said a
sailor knocked about by the waves,
they fall and break their legs. We once
carried eight superb ostriches. They
were good sailors. Their sea appetites
were fine. But two days from port
nasty gale overlook us. And then 1t
was pitiful to see those ostrlches. The
ships lurches and ducks knocked them
off their pins, sent them rolling back
and forth, to and fro, wildly, help
lessly. Imagine a dozen ostriches, now
on their feet, then-bang- their
backs, their long legs in the air, rolling
every which way. What you'd expect
to happen happened, of course. Their
legs broke. You could hear above the
storm the sharp crack Of the splitting
bone. OF those eight fine ostriches
only two reached port alive"
