The address was one of unusual merit I and touched the sentiments of the • crowd in the right spot. The finishing words of his forty-minute address was fulluwed by deafening applause from every man woman and child who heard the peroration.

GOLD IS DISCOVERED AT CORDOVA, C A L Gold, real yellow gold, pay dirt, like that which set the forty-niners wild with excitement, has been found in the Southern Pacific gravel pit at Cordova, California. And the men on the job have lost no time in using their spare hours to annex anug little sums to their regular wages. The fun began when the huge steam shovel ran into an old river ehanr.el. The Southern Pacific gets its material for ballaating the right of way at Cor dova, and loads the gravel into freight cars with a steam shovel. One day, aa the bucket tipped over with its load, a workman saw something glint in the sunshine. He passed the word along to hia fellows, and since then every pick and shovel and pan in the neighborhood has been pressed into service, until the place looks like a pioneer mining camp. The railroad company is not objecting to its employes getting their share of this richness and it is said that jobs in the steam shovel gang are now at a premium. Only, T. H. Williams, as sistant division superintendent of the Southern Pacific, couldn’t understand for a long time what made his men so unusually industrious, especially after work when they were supposed to be so tired and worn out.
