Excitement Sans Sifh as Kesult of
Speculations by Partner of Senator
Colter on White River.
Visalia, Cal.. Dec. 18. G". P.I Ex
citement ran high here today when it
was reported that J. Wilson, an aged
miner, and partner of Senator Fred
Colter of Colter, Ariz., had made a
placer gcJd strike on the White river,
50 miles southeast of here, in Tulare
county, averaging- 60 cents to 34 a
bucket.
It was rumored that Wilson has been
offered $75,000 for his leases in
Grizzly gulch, just as they stand, with
out further development.
Every effort was made by Wilson to
cloak his operations in secrecy, and it
was not until today that it leaked out.
Surveyors today estimated that there
is $."u,uOo worth of gold in the first
level ar.d indications are that there are
three levels of the gold.

Kan Francisco, Dec. 18. Now that
the Panama-Pacific International expo
sition is ended the question ha arisen
and very properly so, as to what per
manent results, If any, will be derived
ty the nations and the world from ten
months' celebration which has marked
the completion and opening of the Pan
ama canal.
Some of the greatest men of the
world today have visited the San Fran
cisco exposition In the throng of mil
lions of persons that have passed
through the turnstiles from the four
corners of the earth. One has only to
turn to these to have, pointed out what
the lasting good will be.
David S. Francis' Pbopbesy,
David R. Francis, former governor
of Missouri and president of the Louis
iana Purchase exposition at St. Louis
in 1?04, was perhaps one of the flrtt
to sound this prophecy for the good
ot such an undertaking as the San
Francisco exposition.
"You will find many will visit
these grounds and gaze with awe and
admiration at the beuuty of the archi
tecture and landscape work, and while
they gaze in wonderment at the mir
acle that has leen performed, the ex
pression will tpring from their, lips,
"Isn't It a pity that anything so beau
tiful should be destroyed?.
"But I want to assure you that there
Is a greater and a better grandeur than
thHt of the buildings, the courts or
any of the other features of the ex
position. It will live long after these
physical aspects of the exposition have
become but a distant memory. I refer
to the uplift, moral, spiritual, 'educa
tlonal and social, that mutt inevitably
follow such an e-Xhibltlon of the best
the world has to offer as is represent
ed in this exposition."
Wide Tribute Offered.
This was the prophecy of Francis in
the early days of the exposition when
the picture of beauty was just begin
long to ur.fold itself along the shores
of San Francisco's lautiful li'.il
! mimed bay. Later it was to be re
fleeted in the tribute of men even
more widely known. prrhaps, ' than
Francis, but not with a greater under
standing of the great forces repre
sented in an exposition of interna
tional character lor the au . aiicemctit
of human kind.
Vice President Thomas IX. Marshall
was among the hosts of ' those who
laid tribute on he altar of San Fran-
i sco for her world offering of beauty
He said that the inspiration to be de
rived for good along the multitudinous
paths of accomplishment with whicn
the exposition radiated would live
down through the ages.
I "This Is the university of the world.''
he said. "It has a chair fully endowed,
to meet the wants and needs of each.
The eye, the ear, the mind, the heart,
the soul, each in ay have its horizon
here enlarged.
"I came to bear a message. I re
mained to become a student. I leave
the feet of this Gamaliel of all ex
positions with regret."
Thomas Zdlson's Opinion.
Thoma-s Edison, wizard of the age.
saw the exposition and marveled most
of all at the wonderftfl exhibition of
the dream city at night. Although his
life work had centered about illu
mination, to him "the lighting of the
exposition was next to marvelous. He
declared it epochal in the science of
lighting and speaking from the utand
polnt of the scientist, declared that
this exposition would mark the way
to even greater accomplishments.
The exposition was especially fruit
ful, in binding closer the ties of the
two Americas. The participation of. the
Central and South American repub
lics was one of the new notes struck
by this celebration. 1ft was exceed
ingly fruitful in giving the people of
the nations as a w hole a better concep
tion of their national unity and of
the great Pacific west isolated from
the rest of the country by the Rockies
