PROMISING PLACER
MINES AT HOPE
A promising placer mine is being
developed at Hope by Mr. Mathison,
who has for the past nine years been
operating on Resurrection creek. He
has demonstrated that the ground on
the average runs fifty cents in gold to
the cubic yard,
During these nine years Mr. Mathi
son has been working his claims with
the help of his sons, using the most
primitive methods, and has made a com
fortable living for bis large family.
Last season he constructed a scra
per with a capacity of handling only
| about thirty yards of gravel per day,
and at the end of the mining season, of
> about one hundred days, it showed an
earning per man of $4.5t> a day.
Mr. Mathison has purchased a large
lot of hydraulic machinery, with der
rick and water wheels, and will in
stall a more up to date plant next
season, with a scraper from three hun
dred to live hundred cubic yards daily
capacity and to be operated autimat
| ically, and will not require more than
four men to operate. At this increas
ed output It can readily be seen that
the ground should vield a very neat
, sum of money.
Mr. Mathison recently made a visit
to his native state of Texas to interest
some of his friends to buy a half inter
est in the ground in order to get prop
er machinery and to have a working
capital.

Yet Me Wished Mini Well
“Between emotionalism and formal
ism in religion,” says a Washington
clergyman, “there is a golden mean a
reflection that came to me when 1
spoke to a negro congregation in
Richmond.
“1 had invited an aged deacon to
j offer prayer. *0 Lord,’ prayed lie,
*gib dis pore brudder de eye of de
eagle, dat he spy out sin afar off. Tie
his tongue to de line of truf. Nail his
year to de Gospel pole. Bow his head
’way down between his knees, O Lord,
an’ fix his knees ’way down in some
lonesone, dark and narrer valley,
where prayer is much wanted to be
made. ’Noint him wif de kerosene ile
of salvashun, an’ set him on fire!’ ”
—Harper’s Weekly.

beautiful or sweet grows or ripens
