Jerry Cronin, on going over his section, passed the boys a few miles west of this place, and a short distance be yond where they were seen Cronin discovered a large chain with a hook at the end wrapped around a rail, which doubtless would have caused a wreck of the first passing train had it not been discovered and re moved.

A physician says the best way to avoid the grip, and the disease that resembles it, is to dress warmly and keep the feet dry. The simplicity of the advice does not impair its value.

But those coiuc memory sometimes, and we often think that could we go backward in our lives, hack to those good old times what a "feathering we would give our nest," hut we presume if such were the case we would do as men did then, for when money comes easy we either know not its value or we do not care, a*id spend it as if it were always to he plentiful. But we will return, in memory only, to the diggings that produced the three millions. It was a large claim—in point of the number of men worked—and the owners worked a force of a hundred men, at an an average daily wage of seven dollars. But they had not tho machinery for working then that they have now, and instead of turning loose against the 100-foot hank a half dozen or more mam moth giants each carrying 500 inches of water, they stripped the ground by hand and carted it away in wheelbarrows, and when tho gravel was reached the pay-dirt was shoveled into boxes and the gold caught in rifiles sawed out of logs and hewed on the sides to make them fit, but they made it pay, and many evenings did the writer stand by side the "clean-up" and see him takeaway from one to three gold-pan's full of amalgam the re sult of a single day's run, hut as we have said before, when money comes easy it goes easy, and it was not an unusual thing for tho owners of that claim to go to work on a Monday morning "without a red." And they imagined it would always come "fat" for them, hut when the end at last came and they were summoned to make their last "clean-up" not one of them had money enough to buy his burial suit, hut they died smiglv nestled in the warm hearts and friendship of those who had known them in the past, for they were big-hearted fel lows and in times of plenty their charity to the needy was unbounded and everybody had money as long as they had a cent. The writer's two oldest brothers, Foley and Will Abbott, were then good chunks of boys, and during the spring and summer months of '05 it was their fortune to "get in" and carry drinking water for the mines employed in this claim, and their daily wages was an ounce, reckoned at $16, or eight dollars each for their day's work, hut many days we, a little fellow of only six years, made more out of that claim than they did, for with the owners we were a favorite and our presence in the claim nearly always called for a pan of dirt, and on one occa sion, we remember it well, our pan produced two ounces. it. of a a Assessor Arthur Davis went to Boise by last night's train.
