a single day. and then resolves to its orig

number, and each about three inches in
diameter. They are developed on that
side of the stem toward the north, and
each seems covered with microscopic crys-
tails of snow.
The flower when it opens is star-shaped,
its petals of the same lengths as the leaves,
and about half an inch in width. On the
third day the extremities of the anthers.

glistening specks like diamonds, about the

OPHIR STILL ALIVE.
The Old Mining Town is Going to Boom
Again.
Opurp naoaro bor o. 1890

OPHIR, December 81. 1889.
EDS. SUNDAY UNION; 1t is very seldom
that the once thriving mining town of
Ophir is mentioned in the press, bat not
withstanding this fact it is not only in ex-
istence but promises to become heavy
gold producer once more. For some years
past but little has been done here in the
way Of systematic mining, and the opinion
became almost general lhat the old camp
would never again come to the front
through The Development of its mineral
resource s. Within The st year. however.
q radical change has taken place and Ii Is
no@ generally conceded that there i
bright future in store for the l.;t,c old
fashioned town among the foothills and
that our mines will soon become heavy
bullion producers Several strong COM
panies are now interested in the develop
ment of this rieh quartz field, and though
NO very flttefing discoveries have been
made, sufficient has been accomplished to
demonstrate most conclusIvey that the
properties being operated will become pay
ing propositions. The Identification of
capitalists with our camp has given new
impetus 10 prOspec ing, and those owning
mines are making effort TO show them up.
Heavy rains have been very detrimental
to miners in this section, owing 20 the
large amount of surface water 70 contend
with, but week or so OF pleasant weather
will lead to a resumption of work all along
the line.
A large acreage of land has been cleared
in this vicinity during the year, most of
which will be planted in oranges and other
fruit. The warm hillsides facing the
south are admirably adapted for the culture
of oranges, and the time is not far distant
when they will be covered with groves OF
this delicious fruit.
Even at this early date politics are warm
ing W and the mining fraternity have al
ready settled upon II candidate for Gnber-
material honors. Hon. J. B. Paterson,
well known all over the State. has won the
friendship of the workingm0n here, and
particularly of those who delve under
ground for a livelihood, and will unQues-
tionab!y receive their unqualified indorse-
ment for that important office Ciubs are
being organized in his interest smoug Tie
working class and they will make de-
termined fight for their choice. That Mr.
Pa terson is worthy of much consideration
at the hands of those who toll is unques-
tionable. Those operating mining prop
critics have favored low wages and naturally
forced reduction from So TO 81 so, but when
Mr.. Patterson took The Superintendency of
the Eclipse mine he openly demonstrated
that he was the friend of the working
man by raising wages TO their former
standard. This frank avowal on his part
influenced the mining populace in his IA
vor, aud, irrespective OF political opinions,
he will be supported almost unanimously
Miners all over the State will be enlisted
in his service in this matter, and DO stone
will be left unturned thst will lead TO sue
cesI.
Many of our people are suffering from
severe colds, but otherwise the health of
tue community is good. OPHIR.

tod that Poole and Miss Woods were to
&C. as best man and bridesmaid, respect
lively, for the other couple, were greatly
surprised when they came out as star act
ors in the matrimonial drama. The other
marriage ceremony quickly followed and
then came the sensation.
Miss Woods, upon being told that she
was now the lawlal wife Of Mr.. Poole, de-
clared Indignantly that she had gone
through the performance with Judge
Thomas on the supposition that this was
necessary to the proper performance OF her
duties as bridesmaid, aud that she never
would be the wife of George Poole Miss
Woods is very handsome. She still re-
mains under the parental roof and her
father, who is very indignant over the
affair, says he win take STEPS to have the
marrisge annulled. Poole has been going
with Miss Woods for TWO or three years.

NAUDIN's DEATH.
Foreign papers announce the sad closing
of the life of singer who had once an ex-
traordinary vogue. Naudin, the creator of
the hero of the "Africaine," has been liv-
ing for the last three years in Bologna in a
state of hopeless idiocy, deprived of speech,
and in poverty. Naudin's appearance in
the part was always puzzle to the French
critics. He was poor actor, had an in
tolerably poor provincial accent, and was
so awkward on the boards that his gestures
destroyed illusion. Yet he was chosen for
the part by the best Judge, namely, Meyer
beer, its composer. The production Of the
"Africaine" was the greatest musical event
