Some Mineral Prosnects

A. f. Gagner, vi Green and =. /.
Smith, who went up The l,umptuips
about six weeks ago on Il prospecting trip
for minerals, returned Monday evening.
Mr.. Gagncr, who has had ten years ox-
perlencc in prospecting through British
Columbia and Alaska, feels encouraged
with the indications. They brought back
some samples for assay which old Cali
fornla miners pronounce good They

lips falls, principally bear, which came
almost to their camp. They found foot
and Il half of snow at the falls, while
farther up in the mountains it will not
be gone before August.
Another mineral find was located last
week by Messrs. Il. T. Dabney and NJ.
r. llorr, right in the heart of Aberdeen,
consisting OF a ledge of what proves to
be good mineral ochre, who filed a claim
extending along the bluff from the school
house to the hospital. There are three
colors, red yellow and blue, and expert
ments with them produce a good quality
OF mineral paint, which mix readily with
oil and present smooth appearance
when applied with brush. The indica-
tons are that this may prove very val
liable.
|. W. Emery, while he has not yet
made any filings, was showing some very
good specimens OF pottery clay and a sort
OF soap stone, which produces high
polish on plated ware. One sample OF
clay, which had been burned and tested,
while too hard to hold the glazing for
pottery, would make fine vitrified brick
for paving and building purposes.
With the wealth OF mineral, clay and
timber at our very doors, there is no
reason why, if every one will work to
that end, that Aberdeen should not grow
steadily, and by laying aside all differ
ences which may exist, and working to-
gether for the interest OF the town, before
many years solid, substantial city will
have taken the place OF the numbering
town which now stands at the head OF
Grays harbor.

The Peculiar Personality Of . California
woman of Property.

woman Of Property.
The story Of the achievements OF
Maria Eensley has become familiar
through the recent attempts &c settle
ment of the Ecnsley estate. The story
Of the woman's personality is more re
markable. AS one evidence or her pc
culiarities it may be cited thatshe wore
a coat of mail.
The woman was the wife of John
Bensley, once a financial power in San
Francisco. When he failed and fed,
after hiding bis property to escape his
creditors, she remained to fight them
and proved herself a diplomat. After
several transfers she got hold of the
Bensley property. in turn disposing of
1t TO a fictitious woman, from whom
she had no trouble in securing a power
of attorney. Mrs. de Tarente'' she
called this fictitious woman, and need
less to say, when Mrs. Bensley desired
to dispose OF any property. Mrs. de Tar
ente never dissented.
While Bensley was away his wife
found herself in many trying situations.
AN WHICH, ELG INCdD1C q W1NOW& IGI
peace of mind was still disturbed by
the opportunities Of creditors and their
recourse to the law. Mrs. Bensley traced
her pedigree back to noble families
that never existed, and her pride was
based on titles that were never be-
slowed. She had few confidants, and
the enemies her husband had acquired
readily transferred their attention to
her. She was worried and looked it.
She grew thin and feeble. but lost NO
whit of her pluck.
One day Mrs. Bensley was dining al
the Pleasonton when a message war
brought to her. She read 1t, gasped and
tainted. As she fell from her chair she
struck the floor with a clang. People
who raised the attenuated form won-
dered at its weight. When medical at
tention was called, the mystery was ex-
planned. Enclosing the woman body
vas a coal of mail, steel linked and
bullet proof. In her contentious and her
scheming to keep creditors from getting
their dues she had learned to fear venge-
ance. 1t is believed that until death
Mrs. Bensley wore her armor. When
Stricken with heart disease, she was
still in the midst of a legal fight, still
maintaining her frauds and had as
much reason as eve to believe herself
in danger of violence.-Sa Francisco

secRETARY,s PORTRAITS.

The Limited Art Gallery In the Depart.
ment OF State at Washington.
The department of state at Washing
ton has now an art gallery, limited to o
certain class Of paintings, of which
there is no superior collection in the
world. This collection has been recently
hung with much good taste in one of
the rooms devoted to the reception of
the diplomatic corps when any of its
members call to see the secretary.
The collection embraces the oil por-
traits Of every secretary of state, begin.
ming with Thomas jefferson, down to
and including Thomas f. Bayard.
Some Of the likenesses are said to be
most excellent. and a few are rSought
by experts 70 be wretchedly poi. Mr..
Bayard's is one Of the latter, although
the government paid q handsome sum
to the artist for her work. All these
portraits were on exhibition at the
Worlds fair at Chicago and have re-
Gently been received at the st@ee depart
ment. Where they are now hung visit
ors can readily see them without the
formality of red tape or the granting OF
authority Ivy any of the functioparies Of
the department. The collection is G
most valuable one and viii soon be in
creased by portraits of Mr.. Blaine, Sec
rotary Foster and later Of Secretary
Gresham. A striking fact in the col
lection was the number of secretaries
who preferred to wear no hirsute adorn-
ments. John G. Calhoun was the only
n prior to Secretary Blaine who wore
whiskers Baltimore Sum.
