A MODERN MIRACLE.

What gave little zest to the mission for non
Catholics in the Paulist church San Francisco re-
Gently, conducted by band from the Apostolic Mis-
sion House, was the presence of a large number of
Christian Scientists These, bright-eyed inte-
gent folk came every night, and every one was
loaded with questions for the missioners, Fathers
DOYLE Walsh and Towey.
One of the questions read: Il have listened with
interest to your proofs that the power of forgvne
sins exists in the Catholic Church today, and am
about convinced that it is So But what about the
power of healing that given at the same time!
Has it vanished9 CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST"
Father Doyle was answering the questions that
evening. ''No So" he replied "The power of heal
ing has always remained with the Church. 1t was
exercised in apostolic times in striking way
because there was need of abundant proof to con-
vince the pagan world of the truth of Christianity
But the same power of healing has been exercised
since The lives of the saints bear evidence that
the gift of miracles has been present in the Church
in all ages Read the story of Lourdes if you want
proof of this in modern times"
He then related miracle that came under his

observation at Lourdes, where man born bliT'd
received his sight. Then, to prove still further H.
statement, Father Doyle proceeded to read an att
davit that Father Wyman had given HIM as ne as
cended the pulpit, in which well-known mlnln2
1lan of Nevada county, California, declares under
oath that he had been suffering with stroke Oh
paralysis for nine years His left side was witlered
and the doctors pronounced his case lncurable Lds
May he began with some Catholic friends novena
He himself was non-Catholic at the time. Al the
termination of the novena he found, and the dec
tors certified, that he was completely cured. When
he began he could not walk alone. At the close OF
the novena his limbs had assumed their normal siz,
and strength. Since then he has been received int
the Church. All this recited IN detail IN the
affidavit and sworn to before a notary public
Father Doyle was quite unprepared for the eli
max which followed. No sooner had he finished
reading the affidavit and turned to the next Iues-
ton when strong, healthy looking man stood tp in
the middle OF the church and said in loud, clear
voice. II am the man."
This produced profound sensation Every one
present particularly the coterie of Christian Sci
entists showed signs of being affected by the in
stance, and after the services made the gentleman
who had borne witness the center of an interested
and sympathetic crowd. 1t seemed a prOVidentiai
answer to the question of the Christian Scientists
and several of them applied later for instruction IL
for entering the Church.

hence he declined the tempting proffer. But he
stood ready to place the great discovery at his
countrys service, and did most effectually dur
ing the second war with England. The enemy
fleet kept at respectful distance from the Amer
lean ports then, for they knew that Fultons bull
dogs were waiting patiently for them under the
quiet waters.
Fulton offered to let the Irish patriots have the
benefit of his invention if they able to get up
another insurreetion, as learn from the memoirs
of Thomas Adds Emmett, and volunteered to go to
Ireland himself to lay the torpedoes. But there
was no opportunity for long time after his death
for fresh resort to physical force to shake off
English thraldom.
It was in the field of peace that Fultons genius
found the most beneficent play His steamboat
revolutionized the world of commerce. and so helped
the great work of civilization by uniting peo-
Piles and countries inimical and estranged, and
breaking down foolish bars of racial antipathy
Technically he was American; really an freshman,
not an Anglo-Saxon. But his genius belongs to the
whole wide world.

WHO ROBERT FULTON WAS.

The Hudson-F Fulton celebration in New York
recently caused the Catholic Standard and Times
to look up Robert Fulton's parentage and some OF
his accomplishments. We quote:
Robert Fulton's father was native OF Klken-
nv Ireland, an engineer The son inherited his in
ventive and mechanical genius He was many
sided youth-a sort of Irish-blooded Leonardo da
VinciEmathematican, painter, inventor architect,
canal builder. engine maker. He was not the first
to try the practicablity of steam as an aid to river
and sea navigation, but he was the first who put

He was the first also to show the destructive

made torpedo boat and refused to sell the secret
to tot the British government when he had demon
strated its ability to blow up ship on the water.
He rould have gained immense fortune from his

Your loving niece ALICE NEWELL.
Aunt Busy gladly welcomes the new niece, but
she regrets to hear that Alice does not like her
teacher. Aunt Busy did not always like her teach

was that Aunt Busy a very bad little girl Bad
little girls never like their teachers One thing that
Aunt Busy remembers is that she never dared go
home and complain about her teachers. Only once
in her school life did she ever complain, but after

Gold6eld's Population

~ He town may be shrinking in population and drying up
as the pessimists have been in the habit of saying, but all the
= same the enrolment at the Goldfeld public schools the first
day of the term, was greater than on any first day in the history of
the town. We do not know how to reconcile this fact with the grunts
and snarls of the knockers, who, having made IA failure in their bust
ness ventures in Goldfeld, vent their disappointment upon the town.
1t is very noticeable, that among the knockers and chronic growl.
es there is not a single one who has made a success in Goldfeld. They
are only the ones who came here to speculate expecting that money
was to be picked from bushes. The chances are that threefourths of
those who failed to make good in Goldfeld would have failed any
where else. 1t is not the fault of camp r town. They simply mis-
est but went out again with the receding flow.
These are the people who are persistently grumblng about Gold
field going to the dogs, and these are the people, happily. who have
made up most of the exodus to other places; or in the language Of the
poet, have left their country for their country good"
The large school enrolment only proves what The News has been
saying right along that Godfed, although somewhat smaller in
population than in the boom days, is in a better condition both as to
camp and town, than ever before. In the natural evolution Of a min
ing camp, the Adventures who formed the floating population, and
filed the streets with loafers, have gradually left for other fields.
where the pickings are greener and suckers more plentiful. But the
substantial people, those who have business 0 r employment remain,
and they have brought in their families and are filling up all the .lv-
able houses. In fact there is a dearth of good houses in Godfeld and
the real estate agents are beseged with applications for good, modern
sized dwellings. There are scores of vacant shacks, to be sure, and
there always will be from low on. That is not the class of people
who are coming into Goldfeld now.
Don't worry about Goldfeld. Sit tight and the reward win come.

Los Angeles Opportunity

- He Forthcoming meeting of the American Mining Congress. which
conyenes at Goldfeld September q and continues for six days
1 thereafter, will offer to the merchants and mining men of Los
Angeles an opportunity never before presented to wipe out the I'M
friendly feeling which still exists in some directions and cement the
spirit of goodwill and mutual respect which is absolutely essential to
our future supremacy q the greatest and most cosmopolitan mining
center Of the west, 80 says the Los Angeles Review, in al article that
has the right ring.
Whether or not the suspicion with which we re sometimes view
ed has been justified by events of the past # not, it is very evident
that such a feeling does exist and that it can be totally eradicated by
the irresistible appeal Of personal friendship. Godfeld makes her
appearance al a national hostess for the first time in her spectacular
career and Los Angeles should be ready and willing to do all that lies
IN her power to make the occasion a complete success.
Apart from the results which may possibly follow attention at this
time it is certain that Los Angeles owes a great debt to the hardy
miner who has wrested the desert from the eternal silence and who has
converted its inhosptable stretches of sand into the sinews of business
warfare Of which we have certainly reaped our rghtful share. With
Ut effort on our part, the golden wealth of Goldfeld has been
ponred into Il arteries Of trade and the beautiful homes dotted
throughout the city and its environs speak eloquenty for the open
handedness with which we have been treated by those who have
tonight their battles in the sitting heat and are now reaping some Of
the benefits Of success in the best climate on earth.
Within the past few years Los Angeles has partially awakened to
1 faint realization Of the Importance of proper encouragement of
legitimate mining and, what is more important still, she has also begun
to discriminate between the good and the bad and is no longer easy
pre- for the wiles Of the fake promoter and purveyor Of tainted min
iue stocks Such results have been brought about by the efforts of
ne local preas and BY the fact that the ignorance on mining matters

so steer things to keep away from the PnchotBallinger con-
servation controversy.
A local newspaper seems to be encouraging the fight on the ground

If the first object of the Mining Congress is to draw a crowd
and attract attention Of the country, the latter object might be ac-
complished by a revival of this controversy at Goldfeld, but we re
inclined to think that instead of drawing a crowd it would operate
to the contrary, for the men who expect to come to GOldfeld for the
Mining Congress, come here because they r mining men and not
politicians, and they want questions relating to the mining industry
to occupy the exclusive attention of the congress.
So far is the merits Of the controversy between Pinchot and Bal
inger r. concerned, we believe that both are working to the same
end, but in a different way; and we also believe that there never would
have been this apparent breach between them had it not been that
and other special interests had injected themselves into
the fight, solely for the purpose Of causing a rupture. 1t is nuts
for the predatory corporations who have been baked by the depart
ment in their designs upon the public domain, as it has a tendency to
bring the whole conservation policy into disrepute.
If the Mining Congress has not enough of interest to discuss with
in its own domain to draw a crowd, = without turning this session
into a conservation jawfest'' there is no reason for its meeting.

A Twofold Reason
THE Mining Investor

(The Mining InvestOr)
~ ONE time ago the Mining Investor made brief reference to the
twelfth annual session of the American Mining Congress which
- will be held in Goldfeld, Nevada, September 9th to October
End. The session will be an exceptionally important one, not alone be-
cause of the topics which will be discussed, but even more so because
of the place where the congress is to be held. The Mining Investor
session of the congress.
The more the man who buys mining stocks knows about the actuai
conditions pertaining to mining, the better it is both for him and for
all who have dealings with him His investments are made more
judiciously and not only that, but he is able to cooperate intelligenty
with the active management of the company in which he is interested.
for the purpose of bringing the property to a producing and profit
earning basis. The haphazard investor in mining stocks is OF very
limited use to the industry. He has very little real comprehension of
what he is doing. He puts up $50 or 800 in some prospect concerning
which he knows little, possibly an equal amount in another, concern
ing which he knows less, and in six month IS time begins to cla,nor for
to the conclusion that he has been defrauded and forever after he is
numbered among those who decry mining investment in any form.
If, on the other hand, the man who buys mining stocks makes a
thorough study of what he is doing, if he understands conditions
which surround actual mining, if he knows the difference between an
undeveloped prospect and a producing mine, if he realizes that in a
very real sense a mine must be found and then made, then, and then
only, is he in a position to act inteligently and reasonably to expect a
profitable outcome from his investments. AS soon as he finds that he
attaining a profit he not only increases his own investments but be
comes a persistent and logical booster of the industry.
1t will be seen therefore that we have a twofold motive in urging
a large attendance at the Mining Congress. In the first place, we be-
lieve that any of our readers who attend the congress will derive great
personal benefit and in the second place, we believe that his attendance
will, of necessity, react benefciany upon the industry in general.

mas been to some. extent leavened by the influx of residents who have
learned their mining lessons in the hard school of experience.
The Los Angeles Chamber of Mines has done its part in CONNER
cial fields and is still engaged in a laudable effort to extend the sphere
of Los Angeles influence. The social features of mining life have been
taken up by the Sierra Madre Club, which secured a temporary home
two months ago and started its active life with a membership of over
one hundred men identified actively with the mining industry. BY
the organization of this institution Los Angeles has secured the dis
inction of being the second city in the United States to support a min
ing club.
There is little doubt that California Day at the Goldfeld meeting
of the American Mining Congress will be graced with a representative
attendance from this city, but in order that the best results may be
secured, it should he driven home to the merchants and business meE
that now is their chance. Let them put aside business for a few days,
forget the stufy atmosphere of the counting house and, by imbibing
me free air of the desert, gain strength that will be necessary in the
future to count the increased wealth which will be showered in upon
us when Goldfeld and the other camps of the great desert understand
MS N we would have them.
