GALICE CONSOLIDATED MINES COMPAHY
Ono of the Largest Placer Mining Enterprises In the World.
Progress of the Work.
Attracting most favorable ino.itiou
both locally nud abroad the Gal ice
Consolidated Mines Company has
gone steadily ahead with tlio up
building of its rich and extensive
placer properties of Galice Creek iu
the northern part of this county. The
Galice district as a whole is con
sidered ono of the richest in placer
and quartz in tho stato. Until a few
years ago this famous old camp slept
iu the contentment and enjoyment of
i's own bountiful resources, the ir.-
of lumber per day. This lumber was
used in building flumes and bridges
along the line of the new ditches,
sluices in the mines and several
houses, while enough is stacked up
at tho mill to provide for the proper
working of tho different mines during
tho winter.
Four separate mines are'already in
operation, each with a separate string
of pipe from 10(10 to 15,000 feet long,
giants, tools, hydraulic, derricks, eto.
Tlio uses to which water conihied
estimated that thero is a great
more gold in tho bed of the

creek than when it was first discover
ed by Louis Galico iu I80O.
All mining men, practical aud
theoretical, aro loud iu their praise
of the energy displayed by Manager
A. B. Cousin, 1 iu formulating and
perfecting plaus for tho successful
working of over Hvo miles of this
creek bed, and deeui tho conditions
favorablo and the scheme entirely
feasible and practicable.

rooms was built last summer for

dividual miners extracting J euougli
from their respective claims to fur
uish them all the necessaries of life,
with plenty of timo to fish, hunt
and smoke. Now the times have
changed; tl.o demand for good mines
is just as great as was tlio demand
for our timber, and from the excel

poorly equipped mines, it was not
hard lo induce capital to invest in
any meritorious mining property.
The placers with adequate water

on "Men": "Men aro what women
marry. They drink and smoke nud
swear, aud have ever so many pockets,
hut don't go to church. Perhaps if
they wore bonnets they might. 'I I icy
are uioi'ii logic il (hail women unit also
more zoological. lioth men and
women have sprung from monkeys,
hut tho women certainly sprung fur
ther than the men. "

Under date of October 10, tho

"The Longshoreman's Union, ac
cording to tin agreement which it is
uow making with employers as to
I wages aud hours of labor, has taken a
firm stand flu the temperance question.
Tho agreement contains this clause:
"No beer, whisky, or other intoxi
cant shall bo brought uxn tho prem
ises of tho company, nud it is distinct
ly understood that no worker or boss
shall lo pcrmitteed to work while In
an intoxicated condition.
"In two spoeltil agreements which
have been uiadu there is a clause to
the affect that Ice water containing
oatmeal shall bo supplied ou the
pier where the longshoremen work,
"This Is to discourage tho men
from visiting saloons. " .
the saloon keeper, as some folks do,
It takes two, every time, to make
successful temptation. "
Iu the vestibule of a beautiful
library, erected iu memory ot a
woman whose gentle faoe looks down
upon everyone who passes the (treat
doors, is a bronse tablet with then
lines: '
"The good she triod to do shall stand
as if 'twer done: .
God finishes the work by noble souls
begun."
Only two linos, bat how clearly
they tell the story of that life of the
eager dreaming and purposes of It and
finally the resignation to the message
that the task was not for her. Was
all the life and hope pat into it lost?
The splendid building with it open
doors is an eloquont answer. Vfork
for God ucver can be " lost "
