washington.-"The historically i'm
portant discovery OF gold in California
was made in January, 1S4S, At John
Suffers mill on South Fork Of Ameri-
can river, near Coloma, a point only
ten or fifteen miles southwest OF the
town of Auburn" says a statement by
the geological survey.
"From 1850 to 1853 the greatest
yield was derived from the graVsls,
and the largest annual output for
this period was more than $65 600. zoe
In 1852. There was some reaction In
1854, due to previous wild speculation,
but a production of about $4,000, eco q
year, chiefly from placer mines, was
maintained up to 1861.
AT first the gold was won chiefly
from the gravels along the present
streams. Those who first got posses

times from $1,000 to $1,000 q day. In
1S4S $500 to $500 a day was not an
usual luck; but, on the other hand,
the income of the great majority of
miners was far less than that OF men
who seriously devoted themselves to
trade or even to common labor.
THE gold pan, the rocker the
'tom,' the sluice and the hydraulic
giant, or monitor named in the order
of increasing efficiency, were the tools
successfully used by the miners. Into
the rocker and the tom the miner

of quicksilver, on rifles set across the
bottom of his box. Sometimes q stream
was diverted into a fiume to lay bare
the gravel in it's bed so that the miner
could get at it.
'In sluicing, the gravel was shov-
eled into a similar but much longer
box through which a stream OF water
was allowed to run.

to wash into long riffie-set sluices I'M

cultural interests, finally decided In

road and bridge building, and the
sentiment in favor of good public
roads has been greatly strength

The law creating the department
set aside from the license tax on
automobiles, which constitutes the
State Road Fund, the amount which
has been necessary to make the
road service efficient.
The new road law in Kentucky
has met but little opposition, and
where it has been given fair and
impartial trial by county officials,
and the county road engineers have
been given an opportunity to per-
form their duties unhampered, it
has been entirely satisfactory.
The State of Kentucky no doubt
will continue the progressive poll
cies so successfully instituted.
A system of good roads is the
basis of the country's progress and
upon this largely depends its ma
terial development and prosperity.
Public roads have been compared

A State department of Public
Roads was advocated by me when
l was a candidate for Governor of
Kentucky. After / was elected
recommended in my message to the
General Assembly the enactment of
a law providing for a Department
of Public Roads, and an appropria-
ton and a proper and comprehen-
siye act was passed.
The people of Kentucky are in
favor of good roads. They know
that good roads mean a decrease
in the expense of hauling products
to market and in getting goods
home from the place of purchase.
They know that good roads in
crease the value of farms, mean
better access to schools and to
churches, and better and more at
tractive environments.
The Commissioner of Public
Roads appointed by me has been
active and successful in his organ
ization. He has sent bulletins and
literature and has furnished plans
