GOLD NUGGETS TAKEN FROM
COLORADO RIVER

Capt. John J. Ford, representing a
strong syndicate Of Pittsburg bank
ers and business men, returned Mon
day from an examination of the gold
placer property Of the Grand Canyon
Gold company, on the Colorado river,
says the Kingman Miner. Capt.
Ford took a number of samples, sew
eral Of which showed bright nuggets
Of gold, besides lots of fine gold, in
the paintings. All Of the gold pan
nings indicated an extraordinarily
high gold content; greatly in excess
Of 81 to the cubic yard, and some Of
the samples showing values Of prob
ably $40 to the yard.
Comprehensive plans for the ex-
tensive exploitation Of the deposits
have been perfected and this impor-
tant work will be commenced right
away.
To this end experienced placer
gold miners are now on the ground
and will remain there in order to
give their personal attention to the
affairs OF the Grand Canyon Gold
company.
The large and rich holdings of
this company are situated a short
distance above Gregg's ferry and the
company owns two thousand acres.

Have you ever thought that har-

That until the music OF the spheres
voiced the harmony OF the planets,
there was no habitable world? Look
within yourself, and without, and
realize that happiness has never come
to you without harmony. To sow and
to reap is of no avail without the
harmony of growth. Machines mighty
and machines lniscroseopic-Go d-made

In the scroll of life we find that an
all-wise Providence has planned our
joys and sorrows. our hopes and fears,
in harmony with a destiny that
transcends human wisdom. It was the
herald OF harmony that called togeth-
er the Minute Men Of '76 and the cav
alters of the South to sacrifice every
thing for the harmony of liberty.
The one thing that creates nations
and has defied harmony in its high

TREE OBJECT OF vENERATlON
Hindus Believe the Birth of vishnu
Took Place Beneath the Branches
OF the Peepui.

Throughout the East the sacred fig
tree or peepul tree is held in great
venerati0n by the BuddllistS and Him
dus. The latter say that the birth OF
Vishnu, one OF their deities, took place
beneath its branches.
1t is very handsome tree, grow
ing often to great height; an ever
green that flowers in April, and yields,
On the bark being cut, sOuriSh milk
containing india rubber. The leaves
are heart-shaped, long, pointed, and
like those of some pOplarS, and as the
stalks are long and slender, the leaves
rustic like those of the aspen. This
vibration of the leaves, the Buddhist
fancies, is caused by the breath of
Gautaana, the founder of his faith, for
it was under this tree Gautama slept
and dreamed that ne was to become
the Buddha, and when the dream was
fulfilled he was again seated beneath
the same tree.
1t IS one OF this kind which is not
only the oldest tree, but the Oldest still
worshiped in the world. 1t was plant
ed about the year $50 B. G. in the an
cient city of Amuradhapoora, in Cey-
Ion, and became known as the Bo
tree. It's native name is Jayagri-
mahabodinwahaWai, which means 'sThe
Great, Famous and Triumphant Fig
Tree"
To Euddhists and Hindus alike the
most binding oath is to swear by ''the
sacred and holy Bo tree."
