ten or fifteen miles southwest of the

the geological survey.
IRON 1850 to 1853 the greatest
yield was derived from the gravels,
and the largest annual output for
this period was more than $65,000,00
in 1852. There was some reaction in
1854, due to previous wild speculation,
but production OF about $50,000,000 a
year, chiefly from placer mines, was
maintained up to 1861.
"At first the gold was won chiefly
from the graveis along the present
streams. Those who first got posses

bottom of his box. Sometimes a stream
was diverted into flume to lay bare
the gravel in its 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 q stream of water
was allowed to run.
"The hydraulic giant was employed

POLITICAL eossIPs

When one class of people has any
thing to say, it has become largely
the custom to make political issue
out of it instead of a friendly discus
sion, to print it in a law book instead
of newspaper and to argue it be-
fore jury instead of to settle it in
the higher courts of Common Sense.
As result, political agitators, polit-
ical lawyers, political preachers and
masculine women are powerful in
politics and dissension, selfishness, in
tolerance and Mysteries run rampant
in public affairs, for when the low,
damp, murky atmosphere of misun.
Outstanding envelops public thought
it breeds political reptiles, vermin,
bugs and hce which the pure air of
truth and the sunshine of understand
ing will choke to death.
We have too many self-appointed
interpreters of industry who are in
capable of grasping the fundamental
principles of business and who at best
can only translate gossip and add
color to sensational stories. No bust
ness can stand upon error and might
rules-rght or wrong. No industry
can thrive upon misunderstanding,
for public opinion is more powerful
than a Kings sword.
When prejudice, suspicion and
class hatred prevail, power gravitates
into the hands of the weak, for dema.
gogues thrive upon dissension and
statesmen sicken upon strife.
The remedy lies in eliminating the
nliddleman-the political gossip-and
this result. can be accomplished by
the managers, of business sitting
around the table Of industry and talk
ing It over with the people. Inter
change of information between indus
tries and the people is as necessary
to success in business as interchange
IN commodities, for the people can
only rule when the public under.
stands. Away with political interpret
ers who summon evil spirits from
their prison cells and loose them to
prey upon the welfare of the people
