IF IT WAS ONLY TRUE The world at large after\reading the glowing account in a recent issue of Collier's Magazine of the men and women who are making good money mining on the streams of California must think California is indeed the land of gold and prosperity. But, sad to say, the article in Collier's is far from the truth, and it is time that the real truth of the matter be told, otherwise many unfortunates are likely to be misled as to the real chances of making a living by panning out gold. California is a wonderful state, but there isa. limit to the number of people who can be'taken care of here during the depression period and misleading articles. such as the one published in Collier's do more harm than good. There are many communities in Northern California that are faced with a problem this winter as to what will be done to take _ care of the many poor people who have been lured to the mountain, streams in the false hope of making a living by panning gold. As a matter-of fact the average fanishy panning gold; on Northern California streams are lucky to average a dollar a day.

Friends will be sorry to learn of the death of a former resident of this. county, Carey Gerald Manion, who died in Oakland a few days ago at the age of 61. Heart failure was the cause of death. Mr. Mahion was a member of a district, and was well known thruout this part of the state. © The remains have been brought to Grass Valley for burial in the new Catholic cemetery. He is survived by a widow and a brother, James Manion, both of whom are very well known here. NEW YORK MEN WILL LOOK AT GRACIE MINES A group of New Y York men is expected in a day or two in this district. They are going to inspect the Gracie group of.gold mines in the Gold Flat country. A mining engineer is accompanying them for that purpose. get this group of mines started on a. production basis. He has been located at the mineg for the past week. It is understood that Mr. Long has done considerable mining work in the middle western states. He has just recently become -interested in this part of the country. The Gracie group of mines is now owned by the estate of Archibald Nivens, the estate of John Arbogast, they are working under the most trying conditions. Along the Yuba river in many places there is little water and a-dam is made across the river and the water diverted. In many cases when the crevices in the bottom of the stream are cleaned all the placer miner finds is what the Chinaman and the Indians have left. Where the stream is too large to wihg dam easily the poor devil looking for gold disrobes and dives into the water, digging with a bucket as long as he can hold his breath. At this season of the year the water is ice cold and mining for gold in northern California streams is carried on under great difficulties. There are many families who are carrying on under these conditions, not joyfully, but with a grim determination to do the best they can. The women work side by side with the men. Many of these families are from the East, and the majority of them are from large cities. These unfortunate people are facing a trying winter and it is up to those who are more fortunate to do what they can to help. It is to be hoped that the day is not far. distant when hardship and poverty will be banished, but that day is yet not in sight. In the meantime there is a duty and responsibility resting upon those who have some of ‘this world’s goods. Let’s all be willing to do our part in — those who are in need. THE COST OF MOTOR ACCIDENTS According to B. G. Willis, Vice-president of the Fireman Fund Indemnity Company, the annual economic loss due to automobile accidents is about $2,500,000,000. Some realization of the magnitude of the waste can be obtained by the knowledge that public school education in the entire country costs only $2,200,000,000 annually. Practically: all of the two-and-one-half billion loss is due to three factors—ignorance, carelesses and incompetence. ‘And if we stop to think about it—we know this is true. There is no The unavoidable accident is rare indeed. The percentage of accidents due to mechanical failure of the car is very small—and in the bulk of these the fault lies with the owner who has not kept his “machine in proper condition. The human factor is-present-in \ every conceivable mishap. Most of us have insufficient understanding of the force of a moving automobile. A car going 50 miles an hour has the same potential force as if it were dropped from a height of 101 feet. At 40 miles an hour the car will travel 29 feet before the average driver is able to react to danger, and then it takes 80 feet, with four-wheel brakes, to stop, or a total of 109 feet. Of course this is not true of every driver—lIt is true of the general average and that is what counts whn you sum up the thousands of accidents in a year’s time. Last year carelessness or incompetence killed 34,400 people and injured almost 1,000,000. During 1932 these factors will be responsible for at least 35,000 deaths—unless every motorist awakens to his responsibility and does his part to reduce the ghastly toll.
