Question May Well Ee Asked l
There Any Connection Between
Number Nine and Gold? — Sta-
tistics That Are Interesting
A nugget weighing 173 ounces hns
been dug out in t lie Belgian Cungo
This Is one of the largest nuggets ever
found outside Australia and lids new
"find" of Afi'lcun gold is said to l o
nmnzingly rich
It is of coarse a coincidence ye'
a very curious one remarks a writer
in London Answers thnt all the great
gnl finds have been made in years
ending with the figure "9” The fu-
mous California gold finds at Sutter’s
creek were lu 1849
Just ten years inter came the !!-
covery of gold in Australia and i
the very snipe year in British Colum-
bia The rush to Australia was really
the beginning of the great Island con-
tinent's career as a dominion of the
British empire
In 1809 tlie famous Comstock lode
was opened up and proved t lie richest
ever discovered In the United States
Tlic year 1879 snw the Arizona gold
finds and the great rush to the famous
town of Tombstone "
In 1889 the almost equally impor-
tant diggings of Clover creek In South-
ern California were opened up Here
the gold wns Just below the surface
nml huge fortunes were piled up
In 1899 history repeated Itself That
was the yeur when the world first
heard of the nnvtzlng riches of the
Klondike and when the grent rush
began In the far arctic The Yukon
gold 1ms nrnde tlmt year a landmark
in the history of gold digging
The year 1909 again wns the year
in which British Columbia discovered
that she possessed a veritable moun-
tain range of gold The first discov-
ery was made at Illtter Creek where
free milling samples of rock averaged
$13 worth of gold to the ton
And now In 1919 comes the news
of tills new discovery In tlie heart of
tropical Africa
This raises tlie question of the truth
or otherwise of tlie so-called "Science
of Numbers" — one of tlie many occult
beliefs thut have come to us from In-
dia nnd the East j
There are now ninny littlo bonks
dealing with tills subject in which
those Who nre attracted by out of the
way studlesf will find much to Interest
and aniline them It Is ns well how-
ever to test thoroughly all such the-
ories before putting them to nny prac-
tical test For one cannot help won-

Cheap Advice
Advice is one'of the cheapest things in the world
It’s as free as air No matter what your trouble
may be just let it known and advice will come
piling in
The old maid knows just how to rear children
the bachelor knows just how a wife should be
handled and even a bald-headed druggist can sell
hair tonic and get away with it But the advice
you seek not the kind that is volunteered is the
kind you want We are not a volunteer in the
advice business but if you are a patron of our
bank and ask advice on financial matters we will
be glad to help you in any way we can
