SQUANDERED MILLIONS.
The Rise and Fall of a Far Vest
 ern Boom City.
Based Upon Mining speculations at FIOurished for a Brief Season and Became a Deserted
 Ruin.

The city of Meadow Lake was once known to everybody, says the Sierra vile (Cal.) Mirror. To all, however, it is now a mere memory, this deserted city up in the fastness of Sierra county. Meadow lake was originally a sink hole about seventy-five feet deep, and was about fourteen feet in diameter. A large dam was erected below it in 1851, the water was held back, and this lake was formed. While building the dam the workmen discovered that much of the rock contained deposits of pure galena, and, thinking they had struck it rich, were not slow in making the discovery known. In the year 1865 the excitement commenced, and every other man met was going to Summit City, as it was then called. Snow was shoveled off the ground as soon as practicable, and the work of building was commenced. In few months city arose and every available foot of ground was put into play. At this time the population of the town had reached about four thousand and was rapidly increasing. Quartz-mills were in opera tion and blasts were going of in thirty or forty tunnels and shafts all the time, making a constant roar. Several small mining com panies were obliged to give up the fight, as not cent had been taken out and thousands put in. Still, no one was discouraged, and to all doubting ears was sounded Excelsior! Wait till the Excelsior cleans up!'' and nothing more was heard from morning till night but the booming of blasts and the cries of Excelsior! Hurrah for Excelsior" At this mine the stamps were crushing ore all day, all night, and every day ill the week, grunting, grooming to work out the precious metal. The Excelsior cleaned up, and the news was carried to the anxious waiting crowd that the run was unsuccessful and that the at tempt would not be repeated. In an almost unbelievably short time the town was deserted; almost panic re- suited. Houses were left with the con- tents exposed to the storms of an ap- preaching winter; houses with thelr shelves packed with merchandise re- mained undisturbed until later, when they were robbed and burned by enter prisinS citizens of neighboring locali- ties.
 The road winds around the lake; the ruins of houses become more frequent until you emerge from the timber and the city lies before you. Now, as ore rides down the main street the horses step on a board and voices are echoed back by the old wooden buildings with harsh metallic ring. Near the center of the town stands a tall flagstaff, bent with storm and winds. Sign poles are still standing in front of the buildings and open doors reveal the contents or emptiness of them. On every hand lie ruins of hundreds of frame buildings, and here and there whole blocks of buildings destroyed by fire. A careful count reveals the fact that forty-three houses are standing. It is a pitlful sight, this city, on which millions of dollars were expended.

OLIVE,
BY SARAH DoUDNEY.

through his faithlessness. He told her that he had felt that there was a want of union between them, and added that he could not live happily with a woman who did not fully appreciate the efforts he had made, and the success that he had won. And then he finished with the usual wishes for her future happi- ness, and that was all.
 Olive read the letter, standing by Uncle Wakes side, held fast by his kind arm She put it back into his hand and said that she did not wish to see it again.
 And now must face my life," said the girl to herself.
 But this facing life that was so ut terly changed was no easy task. If you who read these pages have ever tried to go on living after the uprooting of great hope, you will know how hard it was.

is a pattern and a prophecy of the soli- tude which is touchingly characteristic of all true life. Eugene Bersier, the eloquent preacher in Paris, rightly says that there are two kinds of solitude, an outward and an inward, a visible and an invisible. When we are not seen, nor heard, nor touched by anyone, we say that we are alone. But it is not always a complete isolation. The fisherman does not feel alone on the ocean, though he sees only the silent stars in the Armament and hears only the sound of the moaning wind and the roll ing waves. He is thinking of his wife and children, who are on shore await ing his safe return. For them he is working; their love fills his heart; he never feels alone.
 The watching soldier on his lonely picket does not feel quite solitary, for he knows that the honor of his coun- try's flag is in his care. The work woman in her garret, handling her diligcnt needle during the long hours of winters evening, does not feel lonely, for she knows that before daybreak she will have earned for herself and her children the next days bread. The
 
 ocean does not feel alone, for he knows that by his vigilance the light will be kept brilliant which will warn off thou sands of ships from danger and minister to the security of myriads of lives. Those who love and are loved are never alone. These are all visible solitudes. There are also inward solitudes. A crowd is not company. There are many whose contact makes no sympathetic chord to vibrate in our hearts. Their hands may press ours, but that indif- ferent clasp touches nothing within our spirits. There are voices and faces which do not charm us even though they vouchsafe us conventional words and smiles of courtesy. Faces may only be as a gallery of pictures, and voices only the hum of many sounds There is an important sense which makes this inward solitude to be specially felt in the crowded life of a great city. When William Wordsworth came to London he was astounded that people lived close to each other and | scarcely knew the names of their ! neighbors. Charles Dickens said that l loneliness was as possible in the streets of a great city as in the desert of Arabia. The Latins have a proverb, Magma civitas, magma solitude" Ia great city, a great solitude). Hence, even we who live in a busy hive of workers and sufferers are not denied the power to find and foster solitude. I do not know more pathetic reflec- tion than this, that we all live, even as we must surely all die, in avery real and requisite solitude. The experience of ages has never falsified the word spoken nearly three thousand yeoxs ago: "The heart knoweth it's own bit terncss, and stranger doth not inter meddle with its joy" (Proverbs xiv, 1o). A great saint once said that there is a sense in which we must serve two mas ters, for we all live two lives, an out ward and an inward, an open and 8 se- crct, a social and a solitary, a human and divine, a temporal and an eternal

Brazil and the Vatican.

ROME, Jan. 5.-It is rumored that the relations between the Vatican and the Brazilian government are so strained that a rupture is Imminent. The Pope, it is said, has intimated that he will eNcom- municate President Peixotto, his Cabinet, and the members of the Brazilian Con- gress, unless measures are taken to renew the former relations between Church and State in Brazil The Vatican has re ceived numerous complaints from the Brazilian clergy of the disastrous effect upon church interests of the policy of separation adopted by the Republic.

0ARZA'S CASH.
He iS Said to Obtain His Money from the
 Mexican Clerical Party.


 LAREDO Tex, Jan. 5.-Startling de- velopments in regard to the Garza revo- lution are coming to light. The papers in the saddle bags of Pablo Munoz, one of the captured revolutionists, throws a great deal of light on the situation. It proves conclusively that what was fore shadowed four days ago is true, and that is that the Clerical party is furnishing the money with which the campaign is being conducted.
 In all the forays made by Garza he has not stolen or plundered the smallest arti- cle. On the other hand, he has paid cash at top prices for what he has needed.
 Where all his money was coming from has been puzzling the American and Mexican authorities. It is now ascertained that Montes de Oca, Bishop of Monterey, is the financial agent of the clerical party in supplying Garza with funds.

Beds Of Fish Bones In Colorado,

Vast fish BEDS covering hundreds OF
square miles In northwestern Colorado
have been recently brought to light and
cannot fail to awaken a great interest IN
scientific circles The beds extend q dis
tance Of $50 miles In the region of the
Green river country and were traced to
points more than 100 miles toward the in,
terror Of the state. Scientists have known
of the existence of primeval deposits of
fish IN Wyoming, but for the first time a
discovery Of similar character Is reported
In this state The beds are $50 to 200 feet
thick. To the ordinary observer their ORR
gin would remain forever mystery.
How untold millions of fish could be
piled In distinct layers over large area II
country which is now 5000 TO 10000 feet
above sea level is q problem which might
stagger the most profound geologist. After
careful investigation, W. @. Hart, of the
Worlds fair mineral department., has ar,
rived at theory which at least appears
plausible According to his theory, there
was a time when the region of the fish de
posits formed tho shore of salt water
ocean As the tides swept the wa6ers
against the rocky shores marshes were
formed on the opposite side of the rocky
barrier. The tides surged against the bar
rier with such force as to throw the fish
into the shallow waters, Owing to the
heated temperature Of the air the water In
the marshes evaporated before the tide
again returned. leaving the fish to expire
in the mud
The next flow brought new supply of
fish. and after many centuries the beds of
today were formed. The deposit of each re-
turn of the tide is distinctly marked in the
cliffs and on the sides of the canyons Of the
mountain streams The deposit was raised
to its present elevation by the same hidden
forces which formed the mountains-

the passage Of the bill now pending
