The San Juan PIacers.

The Mojave Miner of Kingman,
Ariz., in it's issue of December 10th,
has this to say of the new COLDS fields:
Some three month ago, it is alleged,
John Williams, an Indian trader, made
discovery of gold placers on the San
Juan river near its mouth. He circulat-
ed the news of this discovery and in a
few weeks nearly 800 claims were
staked. A company of railroad men
sent the locators in to do work. These
same men put in their time since the
location of the placers, until about two
weeks ago, in locating quartz lodges,
and, in fact, everything showing a
stain of mineral. Now they give out
wonderful stories of fabulous pockets
of gold and other minerals in that
snowclad region. This in the face of
the face that no work has yet been
done on the placer claims is ridiculous.
The first hard work a prospector would
do would be to go to work on a placer
claim and and not run around the
country locating "bronco" lodges and
receive salary of $3. 30 per day there
for.
That the Navajo reservation and the
country along the San Juan river has
been prospected for years is a fact well
known to all old timers in this country,
and that it falls short of being min
eral section is also well known. OF
course there is some placer ground on
the river but it is too poor to work
proftably. The San Jaun country is
now cavered with snow, and the people
who have just gone in there will suffer
untold hardships before they get back
to cilization.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT
The placer fields recently discovered
in southern Utah at the mouth of the
San Juan river, where it empties into
the Colorado, are said to eclipse the
gold diggings of California in their
palmiest days. These placer fields are
difficult of access, the best way to reach
them being from the A. & P. road in
Arizona or from southwestern Color
ado.
The placers are said to be very rich
in gold, and to extend 30 miles up and
down the river. Dispatches from
Phoenix say that one man PANIED out
more than $500 in one day, while an
other miner took out So, 800 in a day
and half. The placers were discov-
cred by an old prospector, who also
found a deposit of coking coal in the
near vicinity. He went to Winslow,
Arizona, where he made known his dis
coveries to a few prominent men and
several officials of the A. & P. road.

AN ISLAND SWEPT BY FIRE.
$4,000 LIVES BELIEVED TO BE

The Entire Population Of sangier Of the
Philippine Group Reported Ex-
terminated by Volcanic
Eruption.

SYDNEY, July 1S.-Rumors have reached
here from Timer that there has been vol
canic eruption on the Island of Sanger, one
of the Philippine group, and that most OF
the inhabitants have been killed. A native
from the Tatantz Islands, who landed at Sc.
iangen four weeks ago, brought remarkable
story to the effect that several other natives
had Just returned from voyage near san
gier They had intended to land on the IS
land, but were prevented by the sight
of mountains belching fort smoke and fire.
The natives reported that the whole ISL
and was on fire. The water along the
coast was full, they said, of half burned
wreckage, pieces of houses and charred bod
les. The whole population, estimated at
| 200 seemed to have been swept in the sea
or burned, as not living soul was to be
seen. Streams of lava were still flowing to-
ward the shore, showing that the activity oi
the volcano had not abated,
These reports are partially credited here
although they are believed to have been
exaggerated. The formation of Sanger Is
volcanic and several small craters near the
center of the Island are known to hay,
threatened activity during the last IL
months.

she "wasted" so much time knitting,
instead Of finding some occupation

decision was a wise one facts seem to

rather more fortunate. He brought
out his first volumes Of poems mt his

copies. Small as the edition was,
however, IL was not small enough and
the young poet was in danger of heavy
loss; but fate was kinder than the
so-called ''reading public" His pub

Some silkworms lay from 900 TO 2, ,0Oe

Burmelster says from 5000 to 5000, but
Spence and Kirby both go him several
better, each declaring that the queen of
average fertility will lay not less than

Some years ago man in Nantucket

Jail A few days after the trial the
judge, accompanied by the sheriff, was
on his way to the Boston boat, when
they passed man who was busily saw
ing wood.
The sawyer stopped his work, touched
his hat politely, and said: Good morn
ing, Judge"
The judge looked at him earnestly
moment, passed on little way, and
then turned to glance backward, say
ing to the sheriff:
why, isn't that the man l sentenced
to three months in Jail the other day?"
Yes" replied the sheriff, with some
hesitation; yes, that is the man. But
you-why, you see, judge-we-wed don't
happen to have anybody else in jail just
now, and we thought 'twould be a sort
of useless expense for us to hire some
body to keep the jail for three months
just for this one man, so gave him the

silk of water green and brick color:
skirt very slightly draped; two yards of

edged with green silk fringe; vest of
Venetian lace over green ground; a
bodice of lace that covers all the space
left by the lapels; pulled sleeves to the
elbows, and tiny band of lace; gloves
that wrinkle up to the elbows; very
broad brimmed hat.
News of another 'more startling has
just come over from Paris. 1t consists
of a pretty lowered foulard in white
and faint greens, with very deep lace
ruffie all around the skirt and bodice
draped across in wide lace, with the
high belt and an accordion-plaited
guilnpe. So far the dress is very mild
and unassuming, but over it falls a
redingote of rich, heavy silk of an ex-
tremely dark green, covering it alto
gether in the back, but stopping short
before it closes in front, so as TO display
a little of the delicate silk gown. Over
the redingote again falls short pele-
rine, which is exceedingly full over the
shoulders, and which is again covered
with lace like the founce. The redin-
cote has no sleeves, but the elbow
sleeves of the gown are pulled to the
greatest extent allowable, so that the
full folds of the redingote stand out
well, and with her high rolling collar the
dame who wears this gown designed es-
pecially for her looks as if she had just
stepped from some old picture.
By the way, accordion plating is
once more becoming the rage. We see
it in dress trains, in yokes, in ruff1es
and in hat trimmings. 1t has not SUI
