an interesting picture of a col
lection of objects taken from the
sluices of the Eslerly mine, which
Is operating at the site of the old
town of Waldo, la southern Jose
phine county, near tho California
line. Waldo's history traces back
to the early fifties, when tho gold
miners were moving northward
from the fii'st rich strikes in Cali
fornia uud finding rich diggings in
southern Oregon.
The present mining operations
are working over theso earlier dig
gings and taking what the hurried
miners of the bonanza days left.
A MONO those objects Is a Call-
fornia octugonal gold dollar,
coined before the days of U. S.
mints in the West and intended
for local use. There is also a U. S.
gold dollar u tiny coin that was
once in rather common circulation
throughout the country.
Nearly every family has a small
er or larger collection of old coins,
tnil there are few that do not con
tuln one or more of theso gold dol
lars. No wonder the miners lost
them. They were so small as to be
hardly noticed by a pick-calloused
finger fumbling in a pocket or a
ivalie.t,.
INTERESTING, beenuso they tell
a story, are the Chinese coins
llial make up a good half of the
collection shown In the picture.
It is hard for us In these days to
realize tho number of Chinamen
engaged In gold mining in the early
days of California and southern
Oregon. The ghost town of Old
Shasta, located near Redding, had
a population In Its balmy duys In
excess of 15,000, and old records
still preserved there indicate that
some 40 per cent of this total was
made up of Chinese.
There wus a bloody fight at old
Shasta between the yellow men
and the whites, these records re
late, with tho Chinese wielding

Louis SaysLessonlTaught Him by
Schmeling Enabled Him to Beat
Braddock After Being Floored
By PAUL MICKELSON
CHICAGO, June 23. (AP) Max Schmeling made a
world's champion out of Joe Louis after all.
When the Teuton schloger kayoed the brown bomber in
that memorable upset a year ago, he taught him not to gamble
with dynamite. Louis never forgot that lesson. Because he re
membered he's the second man of his race to be fighting man
number one of the world.
His poker face spritytul with thn
highest smile he's ever smiled, the
brown homher told his Htory and
the one reason why he came off
the floor to dethrone Iho gitme
J nines J. Braddock.
"Schmeling tauf;hl me to el I ml)

the champion. "When he dropped

took my time.
"From the middle of the second
