The Training of Novelists.
From the London Times

Fielding was playwright before he
became a novelist. He was also a coun-
try squire, a barrister and police magis-
trate. Richardson, the son Of a carpen-
ter. rose to be the head Of prosperous
business before ever he became a novelist
Defoe had many cmployments besides
that of writing. Srnollett was a surgeon
both on land and sea. Sterne was a par
son, II not a good one. and Scott was a
sound lawyer who never neglected the
duties of his legal offices. All o. these
novelists are masters Of the art OF add
dress. They all wrote out o. full
knowledge and made themselves plain to
plain men. Their works survive. partly,
of course. because they were born VT L
ers, but partly also because they knew
much of life and could tell what they
knew so that every one should under
stand it.

Sidney Norman, as mining editor of the Los Angeles Times and later of the
Mining Review, asbeenp putting forth strenuous m intelligent efforts ITO arouse
Los Angeles to the importance CT interesting herself more intimately in he min
ing development Of the great Southwest. Los Angeles has frowned upon the min
ing industry all these years, as likely to divert attention and money from her own
native industries - such as real estate and townie schemes. Through the
building Ct various railroads within the past few years, a vast scope of mining
country has become directly tributary to Los Angeles, and Norman has been try
ing to ous Los Angeles to this fact so chat there may result reciprocal
benefits.
To this end it is proposed to issue a special edition Ct he American Mining
Review, which will embrace concise statistical and Illustrated artices o. Ill the
mining camps and bring the proposition before the Los Angeles
public more frcibly than everb before, and it is Mr.. Abbot's purpose in his trip
to eoldfed, to invite the attention Of the mining public to tho scheme.
While there is a certain feeling Of resentment in Goldheld " the indifer
ene with which it is treated by the Southern metropolis, especially in view of the
vast wealth poured into her lap by tie successful mining men of Gohfed, and
too, the business that this camp is giving that city, nevertheless, we trust Mr..
Abbot will meet with a cordial reception Oh he part Of our pcople and gain their
hearty cooperation, to the end that closer relations may be established and the
prejudice # Los Angeles against mining be swept away.

among stockholders to secure enough
proxies to bring about a change in the
management of the company at the next

of two physicians of Hoboken, n j.,
d. X. Atwell and H.. V. Broeser, by

Mass. The committee has been very
Industrious among stockholders, and
has issued five different circulars set
ting forth grievances and stating rea-
sons for demanding the ousting of the
present directory, Frank Ish, l.. Il.

These circulars have been sent to The
News by various stockholders, request
-uS an iHNtStiSStiuH.
The circulars have been given over
to i~nsinuations and general statements
more than to specific charges. In q gem
cral way it has been charged that the
company was mismanagcd; that rich
leases were icing let to "insiders;''
that the mine was being high graded;
that there was plenty of ore for a mill,
to put up a mill on the ground but that
lsh and associates are opposed to a
