further said the examination is in the
interests of San Francisco parties. who il
satisfied with the outlook will prosecute
work on the two mines by sinking the
Raymond shaft several hundred feet
deeper, drain the country and open up
the ledge both on Meadow Valley and
Raymond ground to that depth. The
large output, extent and uniformity Of
the vein above water level iustifies the
opinion that workings below water will
prove equally productive. and such work
successfully prosecuted would mean an
indefinite successful future for Phoebe,
notwithstanding the low price of silver.

much anxiety has been felt, arrived in
Vineyard Haven Friday night last They

masted schooner Everett Webster, Cap
tain Brown, OF Philadelphia. The Everett
Webster was bound for Boston from Phil
adelphia with cargo OF coal, and rescued
the ten men when nearly every hope OF
being savsd had been gwen up.

DEATH OF REV. Mr.. STURGEON
The Celebrated London Preacher
Dies al Mentone,

The Rev. Charles H. Spurgeon, the
noted Baptist minister, died on the 3lst ~
II 100 p. M, after . long period Of Ill health.
His end was painless. He remained un-
conscious To the last. His wife, DR.. Fits
Henry and Miss Thorne were present when
he died.
At all the services held last Sunday In
tho Metropolitan tabernacle Of which Mr.
Spurgeon was the pastor, the auditorium
was packed. The Rev. MIR. Pierson and
others offered earnest prayers at the SER
vices and read to the congregations tele-
graphic bulletins from Mentone.
Mr. Spurgeon's body will be brought to
England for burial Mrs. Spurgeon is bear
ing her affiiction bravely.
Mr.. Spurgeon was born on June 7th,
1884, in Kelvdon, Sussex. He received an
ordinary education under strong religious
influences and became very early an usher
in a school at Nottingham In which humble
capacity he developed astonishing powers
| Of public speaking and was especially Of
| fective In religious exhortation. His rela-
| tives, who were independent offered to
| have him trained for the ministry, but he
| declined because he held Paedobaptist
views. Later he relhquished these and
joined the church formerly presided over
| by Robert Hall at Cambridge. He became
village preacher at Tevershsm and soon
after became pastor Of a Baptist church ut
Waterbeach. At this period, only seven
| teen years old, he delivered . series OF
discoures which attracted immense
crowds and spread his fame through Eng
land, and even America, as the "boy
preacher"
Having been offered the chapel in Now
Park street, Southwork, he preached for
| the first time In London In 1853 with such
success that the edince had to be enlarged
to accommodate the rapidly growing con-
gregation. AT Exeter hall, which was oc-
cupied during these alterations, hundreds
were turned away every Sunday, unable
TO get within the doors. The enlarged
chapel In New Park street proved insult.
icient and the Surrey music hall was hired
to accommodate the overflow. Fisally the
Metropolitan tabernacle was built, which
holds 1000 or 5000 people, and there the
famous preacher remained to this day.
Since 1853 his sermons have been pub
lished weekly and sold throughout the
Protestant world In increasing numbers,
ln 1857 Mr.. Spurgeon severed his connec-
tion with the Baptist Union because i,
tolerated heretical views on the subject Of
hell. This gave rise to 4 long controversy.
In lsss was celebrated the delivery Of his
2,00Oth sermon. The Pastors college, the
Colportage association, the book fund and
the Supplementary Pastors Aid Fund
were all founded by Mr.. Spurgeon 10 sup
port Of his work at the tabernacle. In his
illness which began several months ago
and passing through many vicissitudes he
had world wide sympathy, and his devoted
congregation have been untiring in theil
petitions to the Lord for his recovery.
