THE EVENING NEWS.


PERsoSAL.-Phil. ssoner, one of the
cid virginia-never-tire pioneers, has re-
turned from Meadow Lake City, aud
resumed his residence in Virginia city.
he once had immense faith in the Ex.
celsior District, but is now inclined to
believe that no faith short of that which
will literally remove mountains-with
thirty feet Of snow on EN- most Of the
year-will give the prospector an even
show for a big "strike" in that exalted
Meadow. We remember how the late
lsmented Col. Howard p~rophesied, when
the party of virginians left Piper's cor
ner with a hurrah for their expected
fortune on the summit OF the Sierras,
that it would be a Sigh Era in their
lives when they struck for such high
timber. Phil. says the Grant is the
only claim that. is paying there now.
He gave US al amusing account OF
Charley Crocker-snowed in, last win
ter, in one Of his tunnels, on the rail-
road, and nearly starved before lunch
communications could be opened. We
are very glad TO welcome Philip back
10 Storey.
