The next morning we found the AMI

George Q. Cannon then a nero boy.
Nov, 9th. We have no feed for our
animals and they look bad. Today as we
continued down the canyon, it began to
widen and the travelling is much better.
Soon we came where Indians had
raised corn, beans and squashes, also
wheat. The corn was standing minus
the ears. Passing on we came to another
Indian farm and camped. The standing
fodder OffOrded good feed for our animals.
The next day we passed wickeup,
the Indians fled at our approach, leaving,
to all appearance, everything behind.
At evening we camped in cottonwood
grove and the leaves were almost per-
fectly green, showing there had been no
than November.
Wednesday Nov. 7th. Some of the
men went head to see what the country
was like while the camp made only a
short journey and awaited for the men
who, when they returned, reported that
the water sinks shoat distance below,
and as far as they had been there was no
more sign OF water that the country
was broken and sandy. We gave the
name "Farm Creek" to this creek.
Nov. 9Th. While at breakfast we were
overtaken by six men with pack animals
and they say that the whole train of
wagons had concluded to follow on after
us, leaving CAPTAIN Hunt to go his own
way. Filling our canteens we followed
down the creek short distance, then
tnrned and travled westward over sand
hills and at night camped in the dry bed
of creek. The day had been hot and
every canteen was empty. Men dug in
the sand for water but found none.
One of captain Smiths men came up
to where Brother Rich and men WAS and
offered to pay fifty dollars for "a drink of
water. There was none for sale. The
next morning we followed up the bed of
the creek, in north course, towards
some mountains. with hopes Of finding
water, while the sun appeared to come
down upon US hotter than ever. Some

Phoenix-like she has arisen from
the dust and debris Of disappeared
and forgotten Lewiston.
The year of 1895 was essentially
a mining year. The hills around
Butte yielded immensely; Cripple
Greek greatly increased her output;
extensive and wonderful rich finds
were made in Nevada, but by far
the most important development
of the year in the whole mining
region of the West has been the
wonderful growth of Mercur. The
story of Mercur reads more like a
romance than a fact. Twenty
years ago the camp, then Lewiston,
was quite prosperous as a silver
camp, and had population of
about 1000 people. Two mines
were extensively worked and
paid several hundred thousand
dollars in dividends. They finally
failed to yield q profit in COM
parison to other camps. and
the place was deserted, work
only having been done in a
desnltory way until in 1891, when
a company Of Nebraska people who
has no experience in mining,
bought Mercur mine and began
a series Of discouraging tests to
mill the refractory ores with which
the camp abonds. To the surprise
of all, their researches were re-
warded and a future undreamsd Of
opened up for the camp, and within
the past year, upon the identical
site of the deserted Lewiston. has
arisen a city as if by magic, that to-
day contains 1,50O people, half doz-
en- paying mines. at the head of
which stands the Mercur with re-
cord of $3.50, 600 in dividends at the
rate OF $4,000 q month, after

Personal Experience.

Leaving Capt. Hunt and his train of
wagons, the packers pushed on in adj
vance keeping the Spanish trail until we
reached the present sight Of Hamlin,
near the Mountain Medows. Here all
hands decided to leave the Spanish trail
and make cutoff and be in the mines
in 80 days while to keep the Spanish
trail we should only reach Lower Cali
fornia by that time snd then we would
have to travel up the country hundreds
Of miles to reach the diggings.
1t was now Nov. LIST. Leaving the
Spanish trail we turned back short dis
tance and then struck almost due west
course with nc guide. Soon a hevvy
shower of rain was upon us and the
the ground in little while became 30
soft that it was with great difficulty that
our animals could travel. Rain was cold
and our mules and horses shivering and
ourselves wet to the hide. At last we
came to some rocks, that afforded shelter
from the storm, these we gave the name
Crooks of Refuge" Wood was handy
and plenty. Fires were soon made and
q general drying off ensued, and cooks
lost no time in preparing for the inner
man, Of which l believe we did ample
Justice. The next day we crossed over
the rim of the Great Basin and down q
narrow, rocky canyon, the sides of the
mountains were almost solid mass frock
and perpendicular at that, and to think
of climbing with our animals was out of
the question. We passed over one place
where if an animal had made one false
step, he would Of plunged q hundred
feet without any possibility of saving
life; and another place we had to help
our animals by putting ropes around
their necks and men to pull them up al

What will the New Year Bring.
BY FRANK Is. WEIGH,

BY FRANK b. WEIGH,
The old year fades into the past,
With all Its Joys and sorrows,
With all it's barren yesterdays
And all it's bright tO-morrows;
Some hearts regret its hasty flight,
Some gladly speed the parting
Which banishes the sad old year,
So Joyous at it's starting.
We bid the dying year good-by
And turn, with hopes reviving,
TO greet the New Year coming in
With promises eniivening,
And as we lay aside the past
In gladness or in sorrow,
We reach out to the time to come
And Of the future borrow.
What will the New Year bring to us
Is veal or woe awaiting?
Will fortune smile in kindly way
or she be berating?
Could we but renb the veil Of time
And see beyond the presant,
What would our longing eyes behold,
A prospect dark or pleasant?
All, it were we'll would we but take
The days as they are given,
And make each one stepping stone
To raise Us up to Heaven;
Instead we waste the precious hours
In blind and fruitless hoping,
The while we in an aimless way
For sordid gain are cropping.
The coming year will surely bring
Us what soccer we merit;
So If we fail to reap success
We've but to grin and bear it.
For what we SOW that shall we reap,
Such is the law unbending
Which rules our lives from day to day
Beginning unto ending.

MALLS OF SUMNER HOUSES.

n URISG recent years the fashion OF
using narrow boards, tongued and
Grooved, in preference to plaster
- for the walls and ceilings of sum-
mcr cottages has become very gem
eral. For one thing. It is cheaper. and for
another, il puts limit on the damage that
can be done by a leaking roof during the
winter months. when the house is closed.
New ways OF decorating rooms finished
IN this manner are constantly suggesting
themselves to the fertile mind. Mating
tackled neatly on the walls from floor to
ceiling gives i clean, cool look to a room.
The soft gray green denim. of which one
sees so much nowadays. has delightfully."-
summery look and makes a charming back
ground for etchiugs aud photograp phs in
simple frames. Common burlaps have
been used with good effect for a wall
covering in its natural color, and in other
cases has been given a coat or two OF paint
of some shade preferred. Old rose and
Usage green are among the colors that it
will take well. The delft craze has led to
he use OF common blue aud white led
ticking and checked gingham for walls.
Either OF these materials is effective in a
simple dining room, with blue plates and
a few pictures hung upon it.

L ness failures. thro wn upon their own

in a business block and esta aDlished a lunch
room, where they made speciality OF
home cookery, doing the most OF the work
with their own hands. The excellence OF
the food soon created a demand.
The little iunchroom became u success,
and at the end of five years, when the great
chamber of commerce building was put
up and there was to be u large resta ura ut

boldly applied for il. They were backed
by many business men, who had known
them in their days of wealth and been
impressed by their ability as business wo-
men. Their bid was accepted, the Misses
Stewart assumed charge of the Glencairn
lunchroom and have conducted it for the
past seven years.
The patronage is very large. For rent
and services alone the yearly expenses
are $4,000. The prices are reasonable,
yet the sisters have not only paid all ex-
penses, but live in comfort and are be-
coming rich.
