MELBOURNE, Aust., July 22: . Streams that used to be flecked la vishly with gold, old centres and camps conspicuous with their scars of old-time mining operations, are calling men from the cities of Victoria to prospect for gold. Scattered over the vast state thousands of I I men are fossicking (searching I about), driven by necessity frflm the cities which have let them down In their struggle for employment. It ,1s a strange phenomenon. I Man f nil .,.... -I ,from sailors to professors, from 1 clerks to laborers, have gone out in- :tb old scenes of Industry and van ished wealth to pick up crumbs which the diggers of other days f might have overlooked, and hoping to 'strike it rich."

Australia needs gold as it never has done In its his ton-. All the present day gold seekers are unemployed. They have been assisted by the state, which pro video them with tools, equipment, and rations. Every party Is led by an experienced miner. But the men who have never mined before predominate in this army of gold seekers scattered over Victoria. Very few have given up the hunt, althdugh the work is back aching and heart breaking. They are men who have never been idle in their lives, men who are glad to do something to help themselves. It is the spirit which, it is believed, is going to bring Australia through her difficulties. At any rate, there is something to show for the pluck of these fossick- ers. grocers, counter hands and clerks. The output of gold In Vic toria for the first quarter of this year was nearly 9.000 ounces, doub ling the previous yield. At the pre sent rate of exchange this is valued at $213,000.

Try it, for once and see. The other day the editor said there was a crisis in the affairs of the country. Well, there was a crisis In my affairs at about -the same time. My grocer told me I'd better pay my bill, which Is a nasty thing for a grocer to do when he might -know a man can ' pay money ho doesn't have.
