The. most outstanding mining
is
found in the rich strike made ‘in
the Spread Eagle mine in the Whitlock district in’ Mariposa county.
Mariposa has been disposed to be of
without continuously defined ore bodies for any
distance but rich strikes have been
made there from time to time and
the Spread Eagle looks to be a
_-real-one: The shoot was cut in the
face of the 300 level tunnel. The
high grade streak highly impregnat‘ed with the yellow metal is said to
be about as ‘thick as a man’s arm
and gives appearance of continuing
both above and below the point of
strike. :
“The business men of Mariposa
thought so much of the’ story as
carried in the columns of the Mariposa Gazette that they purchased a
thousand extra copies of the edition
carrying the first-news of the strike
to be mailed to widely scattered
points. Those business men are
awake to the possibilities of wha
a little mining boom can do for <
‘community and their enterprise in
helping tO spread-the news of the
strike is most commendable.

Child That “Stammers”
Victim of Nervousness
The most usual form of speech dis.
order is “stammering,” or “stuttering.”
~~ From the stundpoint of development
there are two distinct types, one
which commences with the developMent of speech and the other that
becins after the child has learned to
speak normally. The first form Ig the
more. difficult to correct. é
The underlying cause of stammering is purely mental. It is essentially
due to emotional disturbance, and tmPlies lessened ability to meet a difficult. situation. . It is most frequently
observed in so-called Bervous, highly‘strung children. As these children
ae stow older they subconsciously fear
_ that their speech organs will refuse
_ to work and have the horror of being
the object of ridicule. A sense of
inferiority develops, establishing a viMore imperfect their speech. ,
According to some observers, stam-mering is more or less common among
left-handed children when they are
ght to become right-handed writers.
opinion ig largely responsible for
of-San-Pedro™
days, Packing brought as much
money as gold digging and was
somewhat more certain. The stage
‘ine was extended from Sacramento
to Shasta in 1850, bua packers were
still needed to bring the freight
into Shasta and the town Was a
great packing center because supplies had to be carried by pack
mules from, there over the moungon. A pioneer who came to the
town in 1852 says that he could not
then make his way~down the main
street for the pack mules and
teams.
But by no means all who came to
California to prospect became or
remained miners or even packers.
The mechants made as much money
as either class. It is said that every
man who came in with a good stock
of provisions set up a small store
until he had‘sold out all he had, so
great. were the profits to be made
from supplies. When the miners and
the packers and the merchants left
the merchants are said to have been
the only ones.who were wealthy,
but that may have been largely due
. to their ability to keep their money.
Talk to a pioneer about prices in
those days and you will*‘say nothing:
more about _ how things are at present. Pies were cheap at $1 each,
and during the winter of 1852\and
1853, when the heavy rains cut’ off
communications and prices in Sacramento were so high that merchants would not purchase if they
could, flour sold at $2. and $2.50
per pound. R. J. Walsh, the only
merchant who was’ shrewd enough
to have a big stock on hand, frequently ‘sold 100 pounds sacks ot
flour for $225 a sack in gold dust.

packed snow in from Mt. Baldy
during the summer and sold it ti
saloon keepers for 50 cents and 75
cents per pound. In one summer he
made $3000 from the snow trade,
which shows that mining was not
+the—only lucrative occupation.
Money came easily in those days

Lake's Outflow Turned
The history of Lake Nicaragua il. °
lustrates the geographical instability
; of area. Thé lake now discharges to
the Atlantic through San Juan river,
but its’ former outlet was the Pacific.
The building up of the volcanic chain
from Masaya to Orost has cut off. the
original western outlet of Lake Nicaragua and: diverted its drainage eastward to the Caribbean sea,
Cause for the uprise ofthe sea
floor is the tilting of blocks of the
earth’s crust, which is like a pavement built of stone sets. If a watermain bursts below a roadway the surface is upheaved and thé blocks are
tilted at various angles.
Similarly on the upheaval ofthe
earth’s surface, the crustal blocks are
tilted, and the edge of.one block may
be raised while the other edge may
sink. ‘
The subsidence of the floor of the
Pacific may force some of the underlying material to flow toward Central
America and cause an upbulging of
the coastal belt. There is conclusive
evidence of the direct uplift of this
region. Lakes Nicaragua and Managua both occupy the site of an old Pacific bay.
A relic of this condition is the oceupation of Lake Nicaragua by species.
of shark and swordfish which are.
identical with jthose of the adjacent
parts of the Pacific and are absent
from the Caribbean sea, The fish were.
probably caught in the lake when the
area was uplifted from sea-level to
its present height of about 130 feet.
