gle for the past ave years. The i'm

RICH OCTOGENARlAN
: AGAIN PROSPECTING
Goes Back TO .Scanes of Early
Success In nFlftIes. |"

Forest, Cal.-The spectacle Of an old
man, eighty-fve years Of age fitting
himself out as prospector and taking
his blankets into the hills after sixty
years vacation from the same sort OF
work proved, interesting to the resi-
dents Of this old mining camp. What
made the incident more interesting was
the fact that the prospector is a
wealthy man and has no need for any
more Of this worlds goods.
The stranger Is James. @. Chase, who
mined In the eaheadwaterss Of Jim Grow
canyon in the early fifties and who
took out enough to enable him to live
In comfort among his relatives ever
since. -. 49,
Il He tookrhis pile" and later invested
In the rich apple district in Washing
ton and recently came to- California to
/, visit the fair. The call Of his early
Hfe rang In his ears, and he could not
resist the temptation to cover the
ground where he made his fortune In
his youngersyears. ...-.~.
Chase was not 80 successful in his
irst days panning as he was in the
fifties, but was delighted when he
found color inRhis pan. Think ]
conld show some ofzyou old miners a
trick In this business yet, said Chase
to some Of the men who have abeen
mining here With indifferent zsuccess
for years. .s-
tThesold man does not look moro than
sixty and says Ehescan stand camping
as well as any man ofsany age. There
are few In this old mining town who
really remember the old man as a
youngster Of twenty-five who made q
good ''cleanup" and left here in 1856.

DOPE AND CRIME. - The people
say that they have nearly abolished
crime, but think they will experience
more in the future, as they are now
making things worse instead Of bet
ter. The officials who are supposed
to be wise men ought to be able to
look far enough ahead to remove
such obstacles that are a menace to
the welfare of the people, but instead
of aboishing them they are seeking
every possible means that will lead
to crime, for instance: The stopping
of drugs, for every dope fiend desires
to lead a peaceful life and keep out
of crime, for he knows crime will de-
priYe him of everything that is his
hearts desire, which is dope.
There has been many a hardened
criminal restrained from crime for
fear of not getting the drug, and in
stead Of stealing has taken to an hon
est life, went to work and remained
so for that cause only. There are
drug users that have been using
drugs for 20 and 80 years and it has
become a part of their life to them
and to stop them now would mean
almost to take their life, for it will
hardly be worth living to them.
Some of the Wisest and most aris-
tocratic men Of our country are drug
users, but they keep quiet for fear Of
the humiliation that will follow dis
covery.. When they have the drug
they are harmless, but take it away
from them and they are as reckless
as the lion and their reason knows
no bonds.
