they were worth one hundred and
forty-eight thousand dollars.
1t is this element of chance that
makes the gold cry SO compelling.
When a gold region is new, at least,
the skilled and the unSkilled seem to
stand equal chances. Some tender
foot to whom all the rocks look alike,
may snatch the prize from under the
eyes of the experts.
Some miners were busy at work
near Lotus, on the South Fork of the
American river, when a tenderfOot,
who came along asked where to dig.
1t was considered a fine practical
joke to direct him to the summit of
nearby ridge, alongside the new
graveyard. He went thankfully up
and a few hours later came down to
tell his benefactOrs how kind they
had been to a perfect stranger. They
went up to see what he had found
and there stood his gold pan, along
side the hole, half full of nuggets.
At that time it was generally be-
i!cved among experts that gold could
l,ot be found in high places, and con
sequently the miners could scarcely
believe their eyes.
Gold is where you find it," say
the experienced miners. No one can
predict the direction whence the call
shall next be heard. In Korea, in the
H:malayas, in the Philippines, there
are such vague rumors as usually
precede a gold rush. One thing alone
is certain, that wherever the new FL
dorado yay be, there will be tens of
thousands who will spurn the com
forts of civilization and face all dan
gers to find gold.-H. N. COssOn, in
Los Angeles Mining Review.

a matter of public record if the pc

has taken up this subject, is enacted
into law. The senate bill goes much
farther than the bills of the hous
passed at the present and last ses-

to be due to the feeling that has

1T WAS REALLY UNEXPECTED
Chances for Proposing That She
Was Quite Surprised.

When he proposed marriage she
asked him for time to think 1t over.
This is SO unexpected" she said. He
gave her the necessary time, and she
finally decided that he fulfilled all the
requirements of the situation.
Then they reached a point where
they could discuss matters calmly.
"Of course" he said, jokingly, 1T
wasn't really unexpected at all"
"Oh, yes, it was," she replied.
Absurd" he exclaimed. "A girl
always says that Sac knows what s
coming, because she is naturally an
expert in such matters"
Il thought l was, but you fooled
me-" she insisted.
And it was a complete surprise?"

THE CALL OF GOLD.
Continued from Page 1.)

ten nineteen-pound bars, packed in
sawdust. The weight of the twenty
kegs is nearly four thousand pounds
and the cost of carrying them be-
tween the United States and Europe
is about three thousand dollars. 1t
is seldom that men dare to entrust
more than fifty or sixty kegs to a
single steamship.
To see these common little kegs
rolled down the gangplank of yes
sci, no one would suspect that they
were being watched with such
breathless anxiety. Yet, if their safe
ty required it, warships would es-
court them from port to port, and
armies would guard them with all
the panOply of war. 1t has become
more than a metal more than a com
modify, this gold. In an age like
ours, when business is supreme, it
is the emplem of authority. 1t is
stored up ownership. 1t is a permit
to live without working and to enjoy
kingship and all aristocracies. Who
ever has gold is, to the extent of
that gold. one of the rulers of the
world
Gold is power. The master nations
have chosen it to be the greatest
common measure of achievement.
That is the secret of the mystery.

give to the riddle of the gold cry
and its magic appeal

The prophets who predicted that
congress would adjourn on July first,
have now showed their date forward
several weeks and the earliest guess

August for the probable adjournment
of congress. However, as no two peo-

where the fate of any great legisla-

it happened, were caught in a sudden
flood. One was swept off his feet
and drowned The other reached a
place of safety and next morning pro

dead cOmrade. Several inches below
the surface his pick struck against
what seemed to be an eightypound
rock. He YEARLY shOveled around it
and pushed it out of his way. Then,
with shock that stunned him, he
saw that it was a mass of virgin gold
1t was worth nearly twenty-three
thousand dollars, and he got ten
thousand more by putting it on ex-

The greatest nugget ever known
was found by couple of penniless
fellows named Byer and Haltman,
who were living at the time on the
charity of their neighbors. They
were digging in New South Wales,
and getting nothing, when suddenly
they came upon a thick slab of gold
that was almost twice as heavy as
themselves. They had begged their
