Working Over Dumps
and Making Wages

Frank Eaton, an experienced min
cr and prOspector, is these days
making little better than wages
extracting gold from some of the
old dumps that have lain for years
at the city garbage grounds mile
north and east of town.
The particular piles THAI eaton is
working are made up OF the debris
that was carted there and deposited
from the mint when that institution
was working to capacity. The rainy
season, by reason of the cOplous
showers. formed lakes OF water in
the section where the dumps are 10
Gated. and Eaton, knowing the value
OF the debris, erected a little dam in
the vicinity and at the head OF it
works his rocker. He carries the
dirt to the rocker and puts it
through an oscillating process, saw
ing the black sand, which contains
the gold, and this latter he later
amalgamates.
TO an Appeal man, who visited
the spot this morning, Mr.. Eaton
showed a small vial, filled with gold.
the result of several runs The
gold seemed to be in the nature OF
drllngs. carelessly thrown away by
the mint's assayers when sampling
bullion. There is also a lot of fine
stuff. probably the millings from
gold pieces when the finishing
touches were put on them. Mr
Eaton has worked the dumps for
three seasons and his efforts have
brought him in fair wages.

among other things says:
In looking through the American Free
mason I note that your grand orient has
issued call for an international. Masonic
conference or congress and that one Of the
topics for discussion Is THE Position of
the Black Race In Masonry" That topic
interests me considerably because Of the
fact that this grand lodge In which I hold
membership Is composed entirely Of black
men. otherwise designated as American
Negroes. and l wondered whether the sub
ject for discussion IL to deal primarily
with the black people Of American birth
or with those who may be living within
the territory governed by your grand
orient
do not presume you are very well In
formed concerning the relations existing
between the white and black races Of the
United States. 1t is true that at one time
many millions of the blacks were slaves
Of portion Of the whites. 1t Ii equally
true there were several millions Of blacks
that were known as free Negroes"
whose ancestors were never bound by the
chains Of human slavery. It was through
this class that Freemasonry among the
American Negroes came into being by
virtue Of document issued in 17s4 by the
grand lodge of England at London. Those
black Americans transmitted the sacred
rites and ceremonies down through vari-
Gus generations Of other free Negroes"
to the present generation.
The white American grand lodges re-
fuse to give US that brotherly recognition

The formation of purposes in life is
a serious thing. We ought to form
purposes now that will satisfy us
throughout all eternity, Purposes
that reach no farther than the little

that extend beyond the fleeing period
appointed to us in this life and that

lodges Of white and black Masons. which
bodies are to be found in most every

Some Of the white grand lodges in their
constitutions or codes Of law plainly state
one Of the requisites for initiation into
the order In that the person must be Of
the white or Caucasian race. This, you
are aware. 10 contrary to the spirit and
purposes Of the institution While other
grand lodges do not go so far with the
wording Of their codes, yet It IL absolutely
impossible for dark skinned man to be-
come member In any Of their lodges ex-
cept he comes from some north African,
