Allow me to repeat some facts stated
by me on my return from the Pacific,
in 1914:
The maratime country on the Pacific
extends along the ocean from San Die

fined between the snowy ridge of the
Sierra Nevada and the beach. Its av-
erage width entends $50 miles-its
length 1900. This Sierra Nevada is

gives room for series Of fine rivers.-
The Bonaventura, San Joachim, Sacra-

qua, Willamette, Columbia. and Pugers

This whole region therefore, abounds
with the same mineral productions as
Spanish America; while it has its own

subsection TO secure him from all dancer
left the cage under the usual keeper.
No sooner had he got out of sight. than,

and in an instant both were clsnchod.
and wspta. s,..[ "a i "tsesh md pail.r They,
drilled generals. Driesbach ran to queIl
the fight with spears and pieces of ioist
and at last entered the cage. Blu, his
power over the beast was at an end.
The lion seized him and threw him,
down, tore his scalp of his head, and
bit him severely on his right arm, which
bled profusely. He made his escape
from the cage, with his clothes CON.
pletely torn from his back. Medical
aid was called and from the last &C.
counts, we learn his wounds, though
extremely painful are not serious. 1t
was more than three hours afterwards
before the lion was subdued, and rem.
dered obedient TO the keeper.

The Mines.

The discovery of mines Of unimagi.
nable richness in California, or the farth-
er verge OF this mysterious region, says
writer, recalls, and strangely verifes,
the tales Of an old hunter whose child
hood was passed in captivity under
tents Of the Apaches and Navahoes, and
was once offered for sale or ransom to
the chiefs Of the fair race that inhabits
the bright valleys at the foot of the gold
mountains; but he was the son OF race
still fairer-of the white man of the
cross land he returned to the posses
sion Of the wandering tribe, who finally
disposed oi him 10 trader on the Rio
Bravo, who grieved to see a youth, evi'
IDENTIFY of white parentage, lost in the
barbarism OF savage life. The heart Of
the young man was not entirely wean-
ed from the Gold Mountains, and his
beautiful account of that country-an
account which probably no man but
himself, speaking English, could give,
and his impa tisnt desire TO raise astrong
party Of Americans for IN expedition to
it, in search Of gold--which he declared
to DO as plentiful as pebbles in common
gravel--obtained fol him the name OF
Gold Hunter.
Up to the period Of his death, which
occurred when the brave Lamar was
President Of Texas, and while that able
statesman protected the western por.
tion Of Texas by keeping the govern,
ment on its constitutional home on the
banks Of the Colorado, Gold Hunter
persisted in his desire 10 lead a hundred
well, armed men to the country of pre-.
cious metals, and always maintained as
cardinallandmafks oi faith, three points
which latter explorations have confirm
ed as acthally existing in the direction
Ito which he was SO eager to lead the
way. A fair complerioned race iuins
