I called continually at Shorts; Mr. Elphinstone, after being at his wits' ends, settled down to a sort of philosophic calm, waiting.

Cot-tingl- Desolation in Wake of Gigantic Gold Dredges tourists through the Automobile northern part of California are liable to have their attention attracted to mountains of cobblestones frequently seen. Sometimes these piles are TiO or 00 feet high and several hundred feet long. They are never beautiful and they add nothing to the landscape. In fact, they are eyesores, but there is little prospect of their removal. These piles are the accumulation of the gold dredges, gigantic constructions which eat their way through the land and leave a trail of desolation. Farm lands and orchards are brought up by the operators and left in ruin, for the land is useless for any purpose whatever after the passage of the dredger. These machines cost about a quarter of a million dollars, but the cost of operation is very small.
