STREETS PAVED |,
 WITH REAL GOLD

EUREKA, Dec. 25.-Streets paved with gold are becoming a reality here, it having been discovered that in the gravel used in paving county high ways there is content of gold bear ing quartz.
 The gravel in question was thrown from the Sacramento river bottom by dredge, for the double purpose of strengthening the levees and repair ing the highways.
 The impression is given out that it is only in California that street may be paved with gold, but this is the usual thing in places where gold has been mined. The streets of Dead wood were gold bearing, and so were the streets in many other towns. If the north and south road is built sev- eral miles will be paved with material that has a rather high gold value, especially near the approach to the bridge site on the Colorado river.

The following story upon platinum possibilities in Humboldt county is clipped from the Humboldt Star and probably the same conditions are true in Elko county, where the geological formations are about the same.
 Humboldt county is promising field in which to prospect for plati- mum. This was learned in conver- sation with L. D. Hubbard, local as saver. Hubbard says that platinum is associated with gold in all the gulches of this vicinity where placer gold is found. In the early days of placer mining in the Humboldt range and East range considerable plati- mum was found with the gold and thrown away because the miners did not know what it was.
 The greatest quantity known to exist in Humboldt county was found in Barber canyon, in the East range, and ranking next was Rock itill can yon, four miles south of Barber; next in importance| was American canyon, in the Humboldt range, thirty-five miles south of Mill City. Some was also found in Spring Valley canyon and in Star canyon, fifteen mics south of Mill City, on the east slope of the Humboldt range. Al! these canyons contained placer gold and as sociated with the gold is platinum.
 The prospector' who is not familiar with platinum may recognize it b! the small gray scales, very minute hanging back of the gold in the pan If he will try the black sand and thel take out the iron by means of mag net, he may recognize the platinum scales. The specific gravity is heav fer than that of gold.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.--The direc- tors of two copper companies passed their regular quarterly dividends to- day. In each instance the conserva- tion of the cash resources and the prevailing conditions in the metal market were given as the reason. The action by the directors of the 1nsrir ation Consolidated Copper company came as a surprise in financial cir cles, but in the case of the Greene Cananea Copper company such action was expected, it was said.

And glad are its ways, its laughter

know of one family last summer that
started from Philadelphia June - and

Rocky Mountain. They climbed Pixies

on the way to Los Angeles over the
Santa Fe trail. FROM San Francisco
they went to the Yosemite, and thence

just about 10000 miles. camping al
ways, except when conditions were too
unfavorable.
Conditions in this year OF 1921 and
the trend of public opinion warrant
the prediction that 1t will be only a
few years before an American motor
gypsy will be able TO start at the At
Iantic coast and make the round trip
to the Pacific on good roads and camp
ing by the roadside in comfort on pub
lie ground-national, state, county,
municipal and local parks. That is
the keynote of the campaign begun
last summer at the national conference
on parks at Des Moines.
1t is a shame to talk about making
money in connection with motor-gypsy-
ing and trout streams and snow-clad
peaks, but here goes: Suppose every
one of these 100000 gypsies who Wis
tied the national parks scattered an
average Of 500 along his route. That
means 100,000,000 American dollars
kept at home and put in circulation
and business for all sorts of people
along the read. Do a little figuring
for yourself along this line, guessing
at the number of motor-gypsies there
were In addition to those who visited
the national parks.
The best thing about all is that the
people are beginning to get 1t through
their heads that the national parks be-
long to them. And they are begin
ming to use them. And maybe 1t isn't
a good thing for the people and coun-
tryl Maybe it doesn't make for ac-
auaintance and mutual respect and
democracy

This 1921 civilization Of ours is
pretty complex-maybe too complex to

work The official figures of national
park attendance show more than O
million visitors last summer, anC
this season the figures most likely
will run to a million and a quarter
or these ABOUT 40 per cent travel In
their own cars. And a good big per
centage are fixed for camping. The
National Park service says In its 1920
annual report:
"Final travel figures, reaching to-
tai of loss, 455 visitors, show healthy
and substantial growth of American
tourist travel in America. This travel
has now reached a proportion where
1t must be seriously considered as an
economic factor in our national life.
Surely travel of this proportion is not
horn of merely a restlessness on the
part of our fellow citizens to be going
somewhere just for the going, but de-
notes deeper feeling, pride of coun-
try a desire to see and know their
land and to make that use of their ma
tional parks for which these play
grounds were created.
"Just as the rail lines brought people
to the parks from every state in the
Union and from many foreign coun-
tries, so were motorists recorded trav-
cling in private cars from every state
and from Canada and Mexico. More
than half of these carried their own
supplies and camp equipment and en-
joyed their Fairgrounds in their own
way"
The plain truth of the matter is
whisper it that the camping-out
folks at the peak of the season often
Jared better than the stay-at-a-hotel
folks, for the simple reason that things
got decidedly jammed up in August at
several of the principal parks.
Rocky Mountain, for example, had
100000 visitors-its the nearest to the
travel and population center-and 50,-
600 autos. And hundreds were turned
away for lack of hotel accommoda-
tions. OF course the motor-gypsies
weren't turned away; there's always
room for them in its 400 square miles.
This year therell be more hotel ac-
commodations-and likewise bigger
auto camps, as in all the principal ma
tional parks.
This motor-gypsying is increasing
like an unfought forest fire. And why
not? 1t appeals so many ways.

Here we are-me and my wife and
our five children. I've been wanting
for years to show 'em this country,
but couldn't stand the expense. Now
I've got a car, and it's all right. Trav-
cling this way won't cost much more
than staying at home. And good
say"
But don't fool yourself into thinking
that it's a question of mere dollars
and cents with all the gypsies. You'll
see the most expensive cars as well
as fllvvers. And in them will be peO-

camping equipment and solemn VOW
to camp by the roadside every single
night. Some of them will keep the
vow they swore, but many will fall by
the wayside-instead of camp-and
the Johnny on-the-spot hotel will get
their hard-earned dollars. Others OF
the gypsies will run on a $3.50 schedule
camp when the camping is good, and
the hotel for them at other times.
OF course the first hundred or SO
miles are the hardest on Middle West
gypsies. for the nearer they get to the
Rockies the more numerous and pre-
tentious are the auto-camps. Pretty
soon they get into a country where
every self-respecting community offers
a really comfortable camp, with run
ming water, wood, fireplaces, electric
lights an everythin'.
While there will be motor-gypsying
all over the land. the rush will I'M
doubtedly be to the national parks of
the Rockies and beyond. The fame of
the "Delectable Mountains" is abroad
In the land. To the people of the sun

land where they will sleep under
blankets is impelling. And actually
