BOUGHT FREEDOM WITH DEATH.
Nez Perez Horses Followed Their
Leader Over the CliH.
Joaquin Miller.


The hardy little Nez Perez horse is quite
well known in a way; but few people know
what remarkable courage and sagaclty he
has. When the indian war swept the Nez
Perez country the Indians gathered about
five thousand horses into n valley that
fronted on the steep blufs or the Columbia
river; and there, with the great white
mountains at their back, prepared TO make
their last desperate stand
In the battle that followed they were de-
feated, and the small fraction OF them that
remained unlIilled put to flight. The horses
shut in by the steep mountains on the one
side and the steep river bluff on the other,

A Bonanza Gold story from the Wiids

Juneau Mining RECORD.
In the spring of 1876 two miners left Sitka
on "A prospecting expedition, taking course
to the southeast, with the intention OF eX-
ploring the islands along their route, but
more especially TO reach the mainland and
make extensive search for placer diggings.
Finding the islands barren of good results,
they crossed Chatham straits to the main
land. and pitched camp at the mouth of a
large creek. To their experienced eyes the
creek bed gave evidence OF what they were
in search of. Ii was streNn with quartz.
and on ''panning" the gravel color was
found. They ascended the stream. and aft

small stream emptylng into IL from the

posed, for Sitka, but not being acquainted
with the channels, their intricate windings

He was picked up, by gunboat on her

around his waist he had about $500 in
coarse gold, his share of the work by the
lake.
The miner returned to Stka. and told
the tale of his murdered partner and the

party to go with him in search Of ii again.

How to Cure Sunburn.

If you have been badly sunburned, just
as soon as you can procure IT. apply 10 the
burned parts a thick coating of white vase

more then rub il off by applying a soft
dry cloth gently: have a bowl of very hot
water brought TO YOU and a big linen towel.
Dip the towel in the water. which must
be hot enough to steam, and almost bury
your face in it. but do not touch the skin
with il for some time; you should steam
your face this way for fifteen minutes. and
by that time every drop of blood in your
body will seem 10 he in your face. Then
call for more hot water and apply it in soft,
gentle fashion to the skin for fifteen min

Then put on coating OF vaseline and lie
