Why Not Hunt Gold.

HO DOR, Mojave Desert, Oil.,
Jan. 27. The world needs
more gold, and may Ret it.
France and I'nele Sam now
control the world's supply,
France with the highest per
n pita reserve. Hard times have
sent prospectors back to hills
and mountains, their "good
times easy jobs" in uities hav
ing vanished. Yon see more
and more of them (ravelin;;
this desert country, each, in his
years of prospecting, probably
passing great fortunes a dozen
times. To prospect is one thing,
to find is another.
Usually Ine prospector rides
one donkey, two others follow
ing. One donkey carries the
camping outfit, with blankets
anil "grub.' The other carries
prospetcors' tools and more
food. Perhaps a few stieks of
dynamite ure carried by the
more enterprising.
An occasional prospector, too
old to ride long hours, drives
two donkeys hitched to a two
wheel . cart, a pole between
them. I'p bills and mountains
too rough for his cart, be rides
one donkey, leaving the other
below.
These men often spend a life
time without reward. More
money has been put into gold
mines and gold hunting; than
has even been taken out. But
even the oldest prospector nev
er looks dis3onraged. Hope is
back of the sun burned face
and gray beard, and fortune is
always just ahead. You need
not feel sorry for him. Trying
is the only thing in life worth
while, possession is nothing.
And he is trying, full of hope.
A young gentleman spending
bis dead father's money in a
fashionable gambling bouse
might well envy the old pros
pector seeking a "grub stake"
for just one more trip.
The multitude of seekers will
find gold, undoubtedly, for it
is everywhere in this western
country. Some, below with a
hammer, might uncover wealth
literally beyond the dreams of
avarice, although water power,
rich soil and oil have long since
superseded gold in the public
imagination.
j 1'ucle Sam, himself, may adil
to Kurope's indignation by dis
covering bis own gold mines in

sary by the lioulder Dam enter

defended it. while adjournment

Senator Dunn, leading the de

clared that if game tizh are to

must be done to curb the taking
of fish at the mouth of the river.
Tributary streams are entirely de

argument that there is a loss of

cially In the way of relieving traf-

Comparison data of the present
traffic on Main street nnd that of
tho same street before the opening
of tho Sixth street artery, will
show that the establishment of tho
latter through street did not en
tirely relieve the traffic on Main
street, im expected, nit hough the
former has a great traffic of its
own, bo fast has been tho growth
of the city nnd Its traffic.

A throe days check of traffic
over tho Main street crossing made
a week no shows that Main street
Is carrying a far greater traffic
than It did beforo Sixth street was
opened, despite the big traffic
Sixth street enjoys.
The city traffic authorities esti
mate that the local traffic In Jan

of the traffic In August, which Is
the peak traffic period of tho year.
Therefore the argument which

that tho opening of Klghth street

CUT BY COURT
Kollowinn out an economy pro
grain, tho county court has an
nounced that a wage cut for
county workers will become ef
fective the first of next month,
but will alTocl only those persons
employed by the road depart
ment. There had boon some talk
to cut down salaries of ot her
county workers, including those
in offices In tiie court house, but
the Ideu was abandoned.
These employes are already
working on a fiilrly low wage
scale nnd to cut thorn further
would la use considerable Incon
venience. However, new help
to bo employed nt the court house
will begin work at a reduced
wage and If such employes Btny
a sufficient time, the salary will
be Increased In proportion to the
length of service. It was rumored
around tho court house that a 211
per cent cut would bo Iti effect,
but the inmitry at the counly
court soon dispelled tho reports.
Wanes1 for road workers are re
duced from 00c to 40c per hour
and tho wages for truck drivers
are redured from $t to $4 per day.

Redemption of Certificates
Would Upset Nation's Fi
nances, Disturb World,
Seriously Retard Busi
ness. Says Treasurer.
.WASHIN'OTON, Jan. 23. (P)
Tho assertion was mad in tho
senate today by Senator Harrison,
of Mississippi, a democratic mem
ber of the finance committee, that
a majority of tho committee favors
some form of cah payment on th
bonus intsuranco certificates.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. (?)
Secretary Mellon appeared beforo
tho senato finance committeo to
day to warn that cash redemption
uf tho soldier's bonus would upset
the nation's financial structure
and "greatly disturb world equili
bria m."
Tho veteran secretary of tho
treasury said cashing of th ad
justed service certificates, which,
has been urged as a relief moasuro
would "seriously retard a business;
recovery, and so prolong unem
ployment." He testified tlve treasury will
close the fiscal year wl:h a deficit,
according to present Indications, of
not less than $375,000,000 and that
cash payment of tho face value ot
tho certificates would cost about
$3,400,000,000.
Bond Sale Difficult
"I enn say without qualification"
ho said, "that the treasury depart
ment could not sell $3,400,000,000
of bonds at the present timo ex
cept on terms which It would be
very hard to Justify and without
complete disorganization of the
government and other security
markets, with the most serious
consequences not only to tho pub
lic credit but to our entire econo
mic structure. '
Continuing, ho said, "but serious
as would be the direct conse
quences to the treasury and to tho
public credit, the Indirect conse
quences to the country would be
even more serious." Among the
"indirect consequences' he listed:
. Immediate depreciation very
mnterlally of the price of all Unit
ed States bonds. The effect of
which would be "equivalent to a
capltnl levy on the holders of all
United States government secur
ities." .
Destruction of capltnl values
running into hundreds of millions
of dollars.
lilt Bond Market
Death of tho bond market for
any other kinds of securities.
Destruction of the market for
foreign securities, which, ho ald,
"not only would interfere with the
marketing of our surplus products,
hut would also greatly disturb
world trade and world equili
brium." Eventually a deeper depression
.than the one from which the world
Is suffering toduy.
"There is no economic merit in
the proposal,"' Secretary Mellon
testified. "From tho point of view ,
of stimulating business, it is a plan
for unmitigated Inflation, with tho
dlsnstrnus results of which tho
world Is only too familiar.
"On the Investment side It
means exhaustion of the security
markets and the creation of a
serious Impediment to business re
covery both here nnd abroad.
