1 I ' , ' fldonce, slio passed out Into the mys-
H ' ), This loved ono was not a Mormon,
B not a Catholic, not a Presbyterian, not
M ', a Methodist; not a Daptlst, not a mom-
1 , " ? her of any of the church organizations
H , I i and It is quite doubtful if she believed
fl j in all the orthodoxy taught by modern
H i religion. Yet all her life sliohud been
fl , j . devoted to the service of' her ills-
M w ; tressed brothers nnd sisters In tlio
H ' great family of mankind and by her
B ' !' many nets of kindness had done much
M ;8 to lighten tho burdens and clear tho
m 'I way.
M i . Who shall say that this ono was
M , , j ' not received Into the arms of hor lov-
fl ' j ing Father to inherit eternal peace?
fl l ! Who shall say that after nn ending of
M 1 1 exlstcnco such ns wns hers, she was
1 " 1 1 not translated into never-ending hap-
M , 'j pincss? Certainly not ono of us who
M witnessed her passing. It would bo
M blasphemy to suggest such a thing.
i' l i And if this dear ono was taken by tho
H, I kind and indulgent Parent of All with-
1 out tho aid of theology as understood,
. -. why not others? If others, then who
H i has the temerity to stand up and say,
M ; "My way Is the enly way, and ho who
) believes not as I do must perish."
M ' ' Ah, what a great country this would
. , lio to live In if all men would forget
H " ' differences of creed nnd bellof in the
i J actual practice of tho principle of Fra-
H . M, ' tcrulty as given by tho hand of tho

H ' J i tho point whoro man will censo to
H , - use his fellow man as a stQpplng
H j stono to success, trending over pros-
H ' trato bodies that hnvo fallen without
H' ' l compunction? Will we over attain the
H ' H blessedness that would attach to all of
M 1 ( us if ovcry one should refuse to ad-
H k if vnnco until tho weak nnd worn with
H ,' tho struggle wore assisted to ariso and
''' ' -' lean upon tho strong, as did tho Israel-

1 ' " jf ! over como when the priest or tho
H !. '' " ' , ' preacher will ariso in tho pulpit a id
H A ' , preach nothing save the gospel of
H ' t ' eternal love? Let us hope so. In t le

H ! GOLDFIELD AND TONOPAH.
H Editor Truth: Having spont tjbn
H .t days In Tonopnh and Ooldllold, No-
H vada, I though some of the readers ol
H l j Truth would Hko to know what I saw
H ' v, there. Not being a mining man nnd
H,, ' ' not knowing anything about mines 1
H J f can only Judgo by what I saw and
H I ., heard. I bollovo that tho whole -etrip
H .;! of country from Tonopah to Las Vo-
H ' '( gas, Nevada, is destined to bo the
H ' greatest gold bolt in America. At
H Tonopnh thoy are down 1,300 feet and
H' the oro from top to bottom avornges
H j over $100 per ton In gold. Drifts nnd
H I ., i tunnols 2.C00 feet long have been dug
H .( f and tho snmo results obtained. At
H t l Goldlleld thoy aro down over 300 feet In
H I soveral places and tho oro is ns good
H , i If not better than nt Tonopah. Tho
H I big mining companies nro putting in
H ! millions of dollars worth of machinery
H " nnd buildings, nnd nro getting
H ' , r, big returns for their monoy. Every-
H i thing Is on tho boom and big money
H ' Is being made. Common laborers
H ) got CO cents por hour nnd skilled la-
- , bor from 75 to ?1.00 per hour. A man
H ; and team ?10 to ?20 per day, etc.
H j About 130 peoplo arrive in Goldlleld
' t daily and about 40 leave, which makes
H a not gain of 90 peoplo every 2 1 hours
Hi. Many peoplo bring tents, beds nnd
H cooking utensils and by that means
, ' thoy reducotholr living oxpenses over
H
one-half. Board and lodging varies
lrom ?2 to ?G per day. At Iteno 1
found many knockers, men who hang
around tho depot and ndvlso peoplo to
keep away from Goldlleld. They tell
all tho tales of sorrow, woe, depriva
tions and suffering tho people have to
endure there. They toll ns harrow
ing stories about Goldlleld as the Rev.
Gcorgo Halley and Itev. Wesley Hill
do of Utah. They point to tho few
peoplo returning, but say nothing of
tho crowds that aro going. When I
arrived at Tonopah and Goldlleld I
found that their stories wero absolute
ly false. All the people who went
with mo readily found work at tho
rates mentioned above. There are
hundreds of people out of work there,
but they aro a class of people who do
not wnnt work; people who loaf
around saloons and gambling houses
looking for a soft snap, looking for a
job where there Is no work and big
pay. It is this class or peoplo who
aro tho kickers at Reno. The newspa
pers have taken up tho cry and nro
telling of tho awful death rato from
pneumonia, but I found that while
there were many deaths from pneu
monia, 95 per cent of them were men
who sat around hot saloons and gam
bling houses till midnight nnd filled
up with boozo then olther slept out of
doors or In a tent, and that kind of
treatment would send a man to glory
In a cllmato like Los Angeles, St.
Ocoigo or Key West. Tho drinking
water in Tonopah and Goldfleld is
good nnd healthful. A good well can
bo obtained nt a depth of 50 or GO feet.
I found nt Tonopah Mr. W. E. Law-
son, an old Rio Grnndo passenger
agent, who has a flno ofllco nnd Is get
ting rich dealing in mines and mining
stocks. Ho wanted to sell mo stock In
tho Silver Pick mlno at 17 cents and
now It Is quoted at 31 cents, a nice
llttlo advance In eight dnys. I also
met Mrs. Emma Paine of Ogdon who
nrrlvcd In Goldlleld on March 17th.
On tho 18th she bought the Overland
hotel. She throw tho bar and fixtures
out, renovated the whole building and
by tho timo I came away, March 2Gth.
her rooms wero all filled with good
peoplo and her prospects aro bright
for big returns on her Investment.
Tho Rov. Samuel Dlair of Ogdcn has
been doing good work for Goldfleld
nnd has struck It rich. Tho Rev. Blair
has a good word for Utah as well as
Goldfleld. Ho visited Pennsylvania
last summer nnd In January this year
I hnd tho pleasure of visiting Kings
ton, Dorrenston, Wllkosbnrro and sev
eral other places whore he had been,
and by his good words for Utah sev-
oral Mothodlst and other families
will visit Ogdon, Snlt L,ako and Bear
River valley this summer. What n
plensuro to follow n man whoso mis
sion Is love, pence and good will to nil
men. How different wns tho Rev.
Blair's talk to another Utah mission
nry who said in Wilkesbarro that most
of tho Mormon children had soro eyes
and blood dlseaso and many of them
wero club footed nnd otherwise de
formed. It' wns another Utah mission
ing at Rcdlnnds, California, who said
in a lecture there that she wanted to
raise ton dollars to help tho cause ot
Christ and tho poor down-trodden hu
mnnlty or Utah. Sho said it pained
hor to think of tho nwful destitution,
poverty and wnnt in Utah and to em
phasize her talk sho actually put hor
hand on her corset to show the niuli
onco where hor pnln wns.
I met Mr. .Tamos H. Brown of
Brown, Terry & Woodruff, at Gold
llold. Ho had on a khaki suit nnd n
two weeks' growth of whiskers, but
ho scorned to enjoy It. Wo thought
by the description Truth gave of tho
Troy laundry of this city a few weeks
ago that Mr. Brown had n gold mine
in thnt nnd was coining all klr - of
money there. But wo nro never SuJs
fled. The mnn who gets $100 a day is
always looking for nn increaso in
wages.
Mr. George J. Brown,' formerly of
Snlt Lake, has n harness storo nnd
factory at Goldfleld and Is doing a nice
business. Mrs. Brown is a director
of the Ladles' Aid society and there is
strong talk of electing her its presi
dent. The distance from Tonopah to
Goldfleld is twenty-eight miles by a
talrly good road. Tho stages make tho
dlstanco in six hours including one
hour for dinner at Ramsey's or tho
Klondike Wells, about midway be
tween the two cities. The automobiles
cover the entire dlstanco in less than
two hours. Tho big 20-mule freight
teams make tho return trip in four
days, and haul ten tons of freight each
way.
The Goldfleld country is going to
make a good outlet for Bear River
valloy products. Tho freight rate to
Reno from Ogden nnd Bear River val
ley on hay, oats and barley Is only ?5
por ton, and when the narrow gauge
railroads south of Reno are changed
to the standard gunge much more
freight will bo shipped. Tho Southern
Pacific company has changed their
road to Hawthorno, 141 miles of the
dlstnnco, and by August the entire dls
tanco will bo standard gauge. The
transferring of freight from the stand
ard to the narrow gauge (about 40
ca'3 per day) at Waubuska, is what
now cause tho delay and congestion of
freight. To the persons who havo
never seen an up to date hustling
mining town. I would advise them to
take a vacation and go to Goldfleld.
It Is a pleasant trip and enables ono
to see what has been done In twelve
months and what Is now being done
there Is marvelous. Electric Hchts and
city water works are getting old and
street cars and free mall delivery are
now being agitated. The railroad fare
from Salt Lake to Reno Is ?25; from
Reno to Tonopah, ?17.50; from Tono
pah to Goldfleld via stage, ?4, or via
automobile, ?6. The return trip Is ?G
higher from Reno to Salt Lake, tho
Oregon Short Line train leaving Salt
Lake at 10:20 a. in. makes good con
nections all tho way through.
