The stories told of some of the Pacific
coast millionaires read like romances.
About all of them began with little or
nothing, and accumulated their vast for
tunes by their good sense, nerve and
energy. The career of Hon. John p.
Jones is one of the most remarkable of
the careers of CaliOrnlas noted men.
Senator Jones is a man OF much more
than ordinary ability. He has made more
than one speech since he became Sena-
tor-and he is now serving his third term
that has attracted the attention OF the
country.
When he was elected Senator the first
time he was not worth "A cent less than
$5,000,000. He was regarded as the boss
millionaire OF the Comstock lode, and he
was almost as well known in New York
as in San Francisco.
Before he had completed his second sem
atorial term he had lost his great fortune
Indeed, it was said that he mad nothing
whatever beyond his salary. He never
seemed to mind his loss OF fortune, how
ever. he is one of those kind Of men who
have the greatest confidence in what they
call their lucky star. He was the same
pleasant gentleman when he was without
fortune as he had been with it.
His lucky star had not deserted him.
About the time that he wasted the last OF
his great fortune in proftless investments
gold was discovered in Alaska, nearly 15O
miles north Of Sitka. Prospecting went
on in all Of that region, and gold was
found in considerable quantities. There
WAS a mine opened at place which IL
now called Juneau, on Douglas island
1t was called the Paris mine, and, after
being worked a while without much
profit, was abandoned for the want OF
machinery.
A few years ago this mine was pur-

wealthy San Francisco gentlemen in 1t,

A few days ago 100000 worth of bullion

A london sensntIon.

From the Neso Fork Times Ca6ls Letter.
London is agog with a new sensation, in
which the elements OF romance and scandal
are painfully mixed. A handsome young as
sistant in Dublin dry goods shop elOped with
a Miss Wilson, whose acquaintance he had
made during her shopping visits. Miss Will
son was also young and handsome, and she
WAS, moreover, an heiress and a ward in
chunccry. Her father is still living, and he
became terribly enraged when he learned Of
the elOpement. He chased the fugitiyes over

Ex-senator Kellogg is out of politics,
and, it is probable, forever. He is out,
however, not because he wants to be out,
but because the people of Louisiana don't
want his services any longer. But Mr..
Kellogg doesn't intend to be forgotten.
He proposes, doubtless, to appear in
print whenever he can get newspaper
to print anything from him.
The Chicago Irjbuue, a day or two ago,
contained what purported to be an inter-
view with him. Mr.. Kellogg, on that day,
was evidently disposed to draw largely on
his imagination for something that would
be acceptable to his interviewer. In the
course Of his talk he said: "The Southern
people are not mean. They do not mean
to be hypocritioal about the negro. They
do not intend to allow the colored people
TO be educated or TO vote. They know
that there is 10000 Republican majority
frankly say it shall not be cast or
counted. They have no patience with
the apolOgists in the North who
attempt to defend what is done by deny
ing its truthlulness. Northern men like
joaquin Miller, who came to New Orleans
to write letters North eXtolling the poll
ties OF the South and claiming that
negroes are allowed 10 vote freely if they
wish, are the laughing stock Of the city
and despised for it. This Miller was
taken out to a poll in the Seventh ward,
the hardest in New Orleans, by some
iokers 10 see the negroes vote.
Some dagos that looked like negroes
came up, and one Of the iokers told him
to see political liberty and tell the North
abouti it. One of the judges was so in
suited at hearing that negroes could vote
at bis poll that he pulled out his revolver
aud Miller ran four blocks before ne
stopped. If the North knew tenth part
OF what's gong on in the South the in
dignation would be startling, but there is
no way TO reach the people here.7
IL is notimprobable that Mr.. Kellogg has
been hired by Messrs sherman and Fora
ker TO help them In the ONO campaign.
lie certainly can beat them in the field OF
dction. His faculty for avoiding the truth
is equal 10 that OF Joe Mulhatton's. 1t
will be interesting to see what joaquin
Miller has TO say about the story that Mr..
Kellogg tells on him.

elopement of Miss Mamie Donnelly with
