In the search to save lives, the search for gold, which so often is e.wiiciilly regarded as the u edoiiiinant trait ill modern man, was com pletely forgotten. It is perhaps not generally known that a hitter law suit had prevailed for years between the owners of the Argo naut and Kennedy mines in that district of California which is per haps the richest depositary of gold in the world. But the moment the news of the disaster was broadcasted, the feud vanished like dew before the noun-day sun.-.

No tragedy of recent years aroused such universal sympathy and interest. Outside of the mining camp none of the victims were known. Hut the feeling could scarcely have been more genuine, if the 47 miners had been personal friends, in stead of mere human beings, most of them aliens, suddenly over whelmed by a sudden and tragic fate. Then with hope at the highest, tho press flash came that the light was lost. The gloom and sorrow that swept this valley, must have swept every city and hamlet in the land. Millions of people to day, in the midst of their engrossing concerns, are giving a thought to the sorrowing wives and children at Jackson, and half-conseiously contributing their bit to the store of sympathy which in a sense must be their priceless compensation. There is a great inspiration in such a spectacle. Depressing as such a tragedy is, it contributes its ray of hope and consolation by revealing as it does, the sound and wholesome humanity, which is intent in the hearts and minds of our fellow men. tals, which are diamonds, were ere-1 bill.

From evils that attack iis'he'll promptly set us free; he'll stop the pains that rack us, however fierce they be. When we are well and hearty we laugh at all his claims; he is a brazen smarty, and low" down are his games. He learned to cure diseases away in Yucatan, or where the arctic freezes the whiskers off a man. Some desert chieftain taught him his wondrous healing scheme, or maybe angels brought him his knowledge in a dream. We call him n deceiver, when we are feeling fine, when we've no burning fever or kinks along the spine.
