PLACER MINING IN BAKER.
Rich Strike Made In an Abandoned Mine
Near Baker City.


Near Baker City.
BAKER CRY, Or, March ia won
derfully rich strike was made yesterday
in a placer mine situated in gulch just
below the Virtue mine by G. F. Case
bier, a veteran prospector of this county.
The gulch wherein the claim is located
has been fabulously rich in coarse gold,
but of late years was thought to be
worked out. Last year Mr.. Casebier To-
Gated a claim and began work drift
ing" and yesterday he found this rich
deposit containing several hundred dol
lars in nuggets and coarse gold. One OF
the pieces is composed OF quartz and
gold, and is valued at $3.50. Several
smaller pieces were found ranging from
$40 up. The strike is only additional
evidence that the placer mines of this
county have not been carefully and
thoroughly worked. In every instance
where abandoned claims have been re-
located rich strikes have been made.
The fact is, gold may be found in almost
every pan of dirt taken from the gulches
in our mountains. The only draw back
is the scarcity of water during certain
portions of the year. If canal were
taken out OF Powder river, near Sump-
ter, for irrigating and mining purposes,
it would prove of incalculable benefit to
the promoters of the project, and not
only develope vast amount OF valuable
placer mining properties, but reclaim
thousands of acres of valuable fruit and
farming land.

The Order Revoked.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The secre-
tary of the interior to-day revoked his
order of September A., 1894, directing
that action upon all cases of settlers who
entered Oklahoma territory within the
prohi period be suspended, where
the disqual ltication of the entryman was
the controlling issue in the case. His
revocation of the order was caused by
the failure of congress to pass pending
legislation Tor their relief.

A Notable Function in High Chinese
Society In San Francisco.
Wing Fat, well-known member OF
the Chinese colony, was married at
o'clock Sunday morning to Miss Now
Sing Yu, niece of Ii Hoy Hung, presl-
dent of one Of the Six Companies. Last
night the bride and groom entertained
their friends at dinner at the Hank
Fer Low restaurant on Dupont street.
some 200 Chinese and between thirty
and forty ladies and gentlemen were
present. The bride is a demure little
Chinese woman, just IS years OF age.
She is but recent arrival In San
Francisco, having come from her Orb
entail home to marry Mr.. Fat, who is
the foreman for Louis Meyerstein q
Co., and Is worth over 100000, says
San Francisco Examiner. There were
but few at the wedding and the pecu-
liar Chinese ceremony was performed
In one Of the temples Of the Six Conn
panies. When the bridal company ar
rived at the restaurant last night there
was a great display of colored lights
and a perfect fusillade Of bombs and
tirecrackers. The banquet room was
decorated in brilliant colors and aglow
with the light of many Chinese Ian
terms. The white guests were seated
at different table from the Chinese,
and at the table where the latter were
seated the groom presided with his
bride. Mrs. Fat had on light green
Jilk costume trimmed with gold bro
cade and many precious stones. The
groom was arrayed in silk suit suit
able to his rank and fortune. The menu
was most elaborate and there was
nothing to mar the festivities Of the
evening In the least. The white guests
enjoyed the affair as much as any who
were present, and the groom was fully
equal to the occasion, both In the dig
nifty Of his bearing and the manner
in which he welcomed the guests In
true Oriental style. After the CHI
nese fashion, the speechmaking and the
popping Of champagne corRs opened.
up the wedding DINNER, Ii Hoy Hung,
the BRIDES uncle, made addresses both
in Chinese and English, A Chinese
dinner of choice al1 rare dishes was
then served. But these many and va
rled courses did not conclude the repast
for to the surprise Of many of the Chi
nese and white guests dinner cooked
and served in the American style fol-
lowed. Each lady in the party was
presented by the bride with fan, q
pair of ivory chopsticks and Chinese
bracelet. Every gentleman received as
memento Of the occasion a handsome
pipe. At the conclusion of the dinner
the guests repaired to one Of the Chi
nese theaters, where performance by
Chinese children was in progress for
the entertainment of Mr.. and Mrs Fat.

them and say nothing If they suit. To

actual fashions Of that period are being
revived as that milliners have agreed

HE GOT A DIG AT HIM.

It Was In kentucky and 1t Was His
Rival Whom He Was Anxious to Worry.
From the New York Tribune; He
and her Father were great friends AS
only four persons figure in this story,
II 10 unnecessary to mention names
He had a rival for her affections, and
her father could never understand why
she preferred the rival to him, One
day when he sat on the porch chatting
TO her father she called him into the
parlor and told him frankly that she
had promised to marry his rival. He
did not plead or beg. He kissed her
hand with sort Of reverence and then
returned to his seat on the porch and
renewed the conversation with her
father. In those few moments every
thing seemed to have changed for him.
The sun did not shine as brightly, the
birds did not sing as they did before.
Even the grass and trees seemed scar
and dead. He had expected what he
just heard, but that did not seem to
abate the shock He was distract and
moody. Her father saw this and asked
him the cause. He blurted out the
whole miserable truth. Her father con-
tinued to polish his glasses carefully
and then said;
"Wimmen folks Is mighty onsartin'
critters" Her father said nothing
more, but nothing would change her
mind. Gradually 1t came to be gener-
ally known that he had been rejected
and that his rival was the fortunate
wooer. They, he and his rival were
alumni of the same college. He was
down for speech at the alumni dim
ner. A month before he had attended
her wedding No one ever heard him
complain, though all knew how he suf-
fered. He was looked upon as the ora
tor Of his class, and great speech was
expected. When he arose sinister
glitter could be seen in his eye. He be-
gan to speak slowly. He took as his
text Acquired Tastes" He spoke at
length. Finally he said

time ago who had just had daughter

I tried to console him, telling him that
while he had lost daughter he had
gained a son. He said slowly to me:

1t was in Kentucky. Not a word was
said then, but just as the sun
peeped over the hills the next day two
dark forms were seen silhouetted
against the sky. There were two
flashes, combined, subdued report
and one fell, never to rise again. It

AS the season advances buttons can
not be ignored; they are appearing in
plain and elaborate costumes from for

The single and double breasted piuue

most in evidence. The outing suits Of
wooden fabrics, pique, duck and such
cotton white suits as we'll all accord

that may be found to harmonic with

Quite new are oval buttons, four-hole,

These buttons are beautifully carved,

the jacket suits, as three on either side
Of the front and two at the back Of the

On silk or wooden waists buttons are
placed as fancy dictates. Three on a
center box plat is, perhaps, the best
known style; Norfolk basques often
have two rows Of ball buttons down the
center plat; then straps over the
shoulders are studied with buttons, and

He Came Back Home to 30 Sent to

He was old and bent His white hair
and beard were matted His clothing
was in tatters. He carried crooked
cane which would be conspicuous in q

object Of curiosity and Of pity. He

said the old man. "He's a friend Of

man. "He was ten years ago when
I was here"
"He's out Of town." said the at
tendant, "and you can't see him. May
be Justice McColloch will do?"
He led the old man up to the rail.
The man said he wanted to go to the
penitentiary, He was friendless and
homeless. He said he was Frank H.
Abry, and had lived in Hoboken forty
years. His face was remembered by the
justice. He had lost everything he had.
His wife and family were dead. He
had been incapacitated for work and
had been in recent years wanderer.
He had been absent nearly ten years
and had come back to Hoboken acct
dentally in his wanderings. He want
ed to be sent away to a place where he
could rest. The justice made out a
thirty-day commitment to the Snake
Hill Penitentiary and handed it to him.
The old man cried as he took it. The
justice told him the van would be along
pretty soon and he might ride to prison.
No" said the old man, "the walk
will do me good" and as he started
out of the station and up First street
toward Snake Hill he looked ten years
younger. His step was quicker, his
back was straighter and his head was
held higher.
