Advice TO an Aspiring Poet,

Don't write poetry unless you are forced
to do SO, either by hunger OF thesenthusi-
asm of your muse.
Do not be cast down because you re-
ceive 50 so instead of $3.50 for your first
effort.
Don't call On the editor any oftener
than you can help, and don't feel hurt if
he says he's out. He frequently says that
without meaning it.
Never despise work that comes your
way unsolicited. Writing advertisements
is profitable vocation, they are sure
to be printed and are much more pop
uiar with the masses than odes, sonnsts OF
French forms.

NAMES WANTED.
An Effort TO Secure List of All Living
,4aera.


One winter. when the snow in the CGur
d'Alene mining country was so deep as to
cover the cabins, forcing the miners to hi
bernate, as it were, an inmate of one of the
deeply-buried huts, to pass away the time,
wrote up several reams of manila paper,
giving his "reminiscences OF the days of 40.
This work brought to him the realization
of how few of the Argonauts are now
known. Diligent search, correspondence
and inquiry served to bring to light about
two thousand names. But the estimate
has been made that tbe number of those
who came to this Coast in the year 1S49 was
something near sixty thousand, and it is of
great interest to know the names and num-
Der who are living at the present time. In
order, therefore, to ascertain this fact. all
'49ers (whose names are not recorded upon
the books of any pioneer association) are
requested to send postal cards. giving their
name, date of arrival in California, as well
as route travelled and name of vessel, if by
water, to G. w. Naskins, 776 Eleventh
street, Oakland, California. BY calling at
tention to this matter, the papers of the
interior can help to secure a list of names
that will be of value when published

took hold of with the left hand near the

In pulling the weapon toward him, the
hammers caught in the limbs of the bush
and the charge in the gun was exploded,
sending both loads of shot into his hand,
