Canadian Who Went Out Prospect
ing and Failed to Return
Patagonia, Ariz, Nov. 19-8fystery
attends the sudden disappearance of
T. c. JOslin, mining man who came
to Patagonia a few days ago from the
east. Joslin claimed to have been con-
nected with prominent Canadian min
ing people and said that he had made
a stake in the Porcupine rush about
two years ago and that after the fire
he lost considerable money. but man
aged to get some of it back after a
second strike Of gold near Porcupine
When he left Canada he came to
Douglas and Nacozari and stayed a few
days, intending to fit out a party and
go on a trip up the Yaqui river TO look
for some gold. While in NacOZari he
learned Of the unsettled conditions in
the interior and concluded to abandon
the trip.
When in Nacozari he got word from
Canada to come to Patagonia and look
over the country with a view Of getting
hold Of some silver-cOpper properties.
He reached here last Tuesday and met
a number of mining men in the district
and seemed well pleased. He stated to
several that he believed he would stay
here for some time
On Thursday morning, Joslin took
his prospecting pick. and in his shirt
to look at some nearby claims. He was
last seen at the Brash apple orchard
about two miles from Patagonia, where
ne stopped and talked with 1lr and
Mrs. Brash and told them that he was
going to cut across to the high peak"
northeast of the Brash home. Since
then, all trace of Joslin has been lost.
Saturday a number of mining men
met at the Commercial. hotel and
searching parties were started out
Five men on horseback Went to the
lance of 10 miles Of Patagonia but
none could remember seeing anyone
answering the description Of JOslin.
On Sunday every available man around
Patagonia started out to make a care
1ul search of the surrounding country
and for some trace of the Canadian.
I fear JOslin has come to some mis-
fortune" said Col r. r. Richardson,
who was one of the first to start a
party out for the missing man. The
last I saw Of him was he was heading
for Big Mountain. and know that is
the toughest section in our whole
district and unless one is familiar with
the country, he is likely to meet with
an accident. 1t would be an easy
matter to slip or fall 200 feet into one
Of the gulches and either be killed or
so badly hurt that he would not be
able to help himself.
r. L. Harrun. of Kansas City. headed
another party securing the country try
ing to locate JOSlin. Mr. Harrun sent
riders up to the Worlds Fair camp to
Harshaw and Washington camp to try
and find some trace of the lost mining
man.
From all appearances JOslin was
man of considerable travel and mining
experience and made good many
acquaintance during his short stay in
Patagonia He was a talented musi-
clan He evidently came to stay some
time as he brought a large trunk.
valise and travelling bag and a large
number of mining and geological

Modern Intentions By GEORGE FL CH,
UMBRELLAS Author Of al Good oId siva.b"

A y umbrella IS circulating me
N dunn which passes from hand to
Z \ hand ike money.
Umbrellas are designed to keep the
rain off of the wearer's hat and deposit
cloth stretched tightly over steel ribs
The rib is the umbrellas vital point. A
man may break a rib or even have it
shot away and still live to become presi-
dent, but when an umbrella breaks a rib
it is good only to lend to a personal
friend
Umbrellas are so made that they can
be opened and closed with great ease
except when the owner is trying to get
into OF out of a street car. When an
umbrella Is brought into the house it
is folded up neatly and stood in a cor
ner to drain. On a wet day enough
water is carried into the houses Of this
nation by umbrellas to fiji the big lock
of the Panama canal
Umbrellas were invented in England
many years ago and when the first UNI
brella owner appeared on the streets he
was stoned by the indignant pOpulace
which foresaw the trouble it was going
to have keeping its eyes free from the
noxious things in bad weather.
Wearing an umbrella requires as much
skill as lacking q ship in a heavy wind.
An experienced navigator can carry

GOLD AND CREDIT INITIATION
CAUSE OF HIGH COST OF LTVIN

New York. Nov. 19.-PrOfessor Irwin
Fisher of Yale university told the
members of the New York Manufac-
turers association in Brooklyn that the
high cost Of living was due primarily
to what he termed gold initiation and
credit initiation.
AS these two influences. gold and
credit, are closely related said the
political economist, I'VE may unite
them in the one word initiation.
The weight of the gold dollar re-
mains fixed but its value of purchas-
ing power does not. To be so careful
about the size of the gold dollar and
so Indifferent to its purchasing power
is as absurd as it would be to stipulate
carefully to the size of the package
containing breakfast cereals, but to
take no notice of how much cereal it
really contains.
During the last fifteen years al
though the gold dollar has remained
the same in size its purchasing power
has fallen to two thirds of the dollar
Of Is years ago.
