ing in the tree. On that trip we esti-
mated that we had penetrated at least
seventy-fve miles in the mountains
and had found samples of gold in at
least dozen pisces where prospected.
On that trip l secured about one half
ounce of pure gold, the same had
made into a ring with a pure white
quartz, set by the best jeweler in Gin
cinnatti, Ohio, and my wife at 70 has
the ring yet.
On our return to our cabin about Jan.
18th, Joe went down to Cherry creek
where Charley Blake chat Blake street
in Denver was afterwards named) who
was keeping the first grocery store in
what is now Denver but then called
Orava, to get some tobacco and other
things we needed.
l took my rifle and further explored
the Table mountains as they were
called, below Golden, where, having a
field glass, l could see for several miles
around. l did not then discover any
camp on Clear creek where Arapahoe
was afterward located, where on the
23d of March four of US afterward
voted, perhaps at Jackson's camp, for
the first officers of the city of Denver,
which was laid out short time before
while we were on our second and more
extensive trip in the mountains, after
being joined by Thomas and Kirk who
had come from the States with me, Mr..
Thomas being an old California and
Australian miner and fine geologist.
On this second trip we prospected
many unnamed streams, and at where
Georgetown was afterwards located,
we procured many fine specimens of
coarse gold, and MIR. Thomas remarked,
"here, boys, Is plenty of gold, mostly
down deep IN the quartz lodges.
At my age, 73 years, do not envy
the honor given to the memory of Geo.

idea of sending you these few items of
historical facts relating to the first dis
covery of gold in the vast gold fields of
the mountains Of Colorado.

The news of the death of Mrs. Ellen
Jane Ashum. of Rural, Wisconsin, will
be received with sincere regret by her
acquaintances in this city. She has Wis
tied her daughter, Mrs. Adolph Nelson,
at times, and during these visits, those
who met her learned to love her with
veneration. Speaking of her noble
character the local paper at her home
has the following appropriate eulogy:
"Her death was not unlocked for as
she had been gradually failing for a
year, and she had been tenderly cared
for by her husband and children who
were all with her when she passed to her
'Iong home" as was won't to call the
future to which she was rapidly tending.
Mrs. Ashum was devoted Christian
woman, member of the Presbyterian
church for many years, and while her
health permitted was ever active in
good works. A loving wife and
mother, happy home keeper and al
ways most loved by those who knew
her best, . woman of superior intel
lect, she used that intellect ever to ad-
vance the interest of her husband and
children who now can truly rise up
and call her blessed.

BAccALAuREATE.

with the Methodist church filled to
its utmost capacity on last Sunday
night, the Baccalaurate exercise OF the
class of 'O9 were held. They were in
teresting from start to finish. Inc
program was carried out as printed and
each number thereon was very credlta-
bly performed and equally enjoyed.
The address of Rev. E. +. Jones was
most timely, appropriate, instructive
and interesting. His subject 1.-The
Principles of Success in Life" was han
died in mastery manner and such as
would leave a lasting impression for
good on the minds of the members OF
the class in particular, and on the
members of the audience in general.
1t is out of the question to do justice to
his sermon without printing it in full
but the following points will illustrate
its forceful and practical nature.

THE PRINCIPLES OF SUCCESS IN LIFE.
"This is the age of opportunity, but
there never was time when the de-
mand for efficiency was SO insistent. 1t
is only the man who makes good that
can hope to succeed.
There are primary principles, illus
trated by David in his duel with
Golieth, which are necessary to success
to-day. l mention three-genuineness,
self-mastery and reverence.
That which is not genuine is awk-
ward. The true alone is effective. To
go out under false colors is danger
our policy. During the early days OF
sailing craft, the pirate was the dread
of the sea. The law obtained that any
vessel captured sailing false colors
might be considered q pirate and dealt
with accordingly. The sea was finally
secured, but we have the pirate with US
yet in every walk Of life. Sooner or
later he must come to grief. The
false depends for its success on its
ability to deceive, and it is not diff
cult matter to distinguish the false
from the true.
Another essential of success il self
mastery. The kingship Of self-control
Extends to the body, the mind, the
heart and the will. A mans self-mas-
terry u only partial until his heart il

resemble in all respects those of the
Great Stone Face. Three times Ear

to. be an old man, always hoping to
see the man that resembled the great

When he was an old man he was WIS.,

Influence of nature on the boy or
girl And so | would ask you to let
nature be your teacher during your
vacation. We can learn from the
trees, the flowers, the blade of grass;
from the rock or from the cloud. De-
velopment and learning are natural
processes. A cultivation of mind
and body is as surely affected by
nature as by man.
Members of the graduating class:
1t Is not my intention to stop at this
time to give you much advice. You
have been advised by various persons
during the past weeks and months.
You have completed your course In
high school and are soon to cast your
lot with the world. You will meet
with many temptations, and 1t will
require moral courage on, your part
to'sresist these temptations. 1t il
moral courage that characterizes the
highest order of manhood and woman
hood.
You will need the moral courage
to, at all times, speak the truth; to
be honest; to be just: to resis,
temptation: to do your duty.
God has endowed you with more
than ordinary intelligence and ht
will expect more OF you. wish yol
God speed, and may success crown
your every effort.
