...forcing him to divulge the source of his dust; this law, originally designed to allow the government to plan detective for large mining companies, now serves to lay the prospector open to the mercies of the sharpers, government snoopers, gold buyers and claim jumpers. Yet in spite of this hindrance and the many others which arise, thousands are making a living unaided from the gold fields...
...listening to the spoken French, cannot enjoy the romantic Professor Morize or the colorful Professor Allard, other able instructors conduct several English sections in French 6.

His impatience to leave for a "vacation" in Switzerland sounded, especially in view of his holiday in England only a few weeks prior, like an effort to gloss over the massacre. Last week came proof it was no such thing. The Assyrian trouble was quieted, but not a disturbance in lean...
