Tho Colonel's Col-onel's throe score and five years appear to havo dealt kindly with him, for he Is as robust as when in the days of his early manhood he "poo'd the gowans fine" in the "land o' cakes and brlther Scots." Judging by his sunburnt and bronzed features, however, he looks as If he had Just returned from an arduous campaign In tropic climes. Colonel Mitchell Is associated with Col. O. P. Posey and W. E Mitchell, his Eon. who has the reputation of being one of the most eminent consulting mining engineers en-gineers in the West, In some mining enterprises en-terprises of significant dimensions, at Goldfleld and In the vicinity. They arc the owners of the Daisy mine and the Nevada Copper, situated botween Gold-field Gold-field and Lldn. Both of theso properties ore being actively developed The Daisy mine, the Colonel says, and he bases his knowledge upon personal observation and the expressed opinion of the best informed in-formed mining engineers, will be a second sec-ond Consolidated a year from now. He Is greatly Infatuated with Nevada. "It is, ho says, "a magnificent country. coun-try. Goldtlcld, In my opinion, will prove to bo tho most lasting gold producing camp ever found on this continent. The ore veins, it has been determined, go to endless depth, and the ore-bearjng zone is widening for miles around. On this trip I traveled not less than 2000 miles In automobiles. It was tho greatest experience expe-rience of a not uneventful life. Often we rode through the country at the rato of forty-five and fifty miles an hour. During the daytlmo the sun was burning hot you can seo Its effects on my face but the nights down there are always pleasantly cool. I was In Goldfleld on the Fourth of July, and I tell you. I felt prouder of the country on that occasion, occa-sion, If possible, and her splendid Institutions, Insti-tutions, than T ever did before. . I never saw such amiability, such friendships as I saw there. The minor and the mine owner, the millionaire and the wage earner, earn-er, went arm In arruvall on a level, the one with the other. No superiority on that day In Goldfleld. I asked myself, what produces this felicitous feollng among men American citizens from nearly all nations, away out here In a Western mining camp? Tho answer came, and 1 am proud to say that I was ono among them: 'We are celebrating tho anniversary of the greatest day for humanity thin world has ever soon, and this amiability of feeling and good fellowship fel-lowship Is caur.ed by love for the American Ameri-can Hag, and a patriotic respect for the Institutions of our common country " DR.
