The gold fever has again struc Califor :

gaining Strength in consequence. The
country around Hornitos, Cal, is a per-
feet net work of auriferous views and
quartz groupings are found in every di-
rection. At this place Moses J.. Rogers
Logan, brother OF Jefferson Logan of
this city, and a practical miner of
the Pacific coast, resides. He went to the
golden west in 1849, aud by his expert
mining ability has managed and owned
some of the largest and best mines Of that
section. He is one of the principal owners
Of the famous Washington mine. which
consists of three full claims. This mine
has not been operative since 1882, owing
to mismanagement. Nose Logan is one
OF the wealthiest men in California and
the present outlook is that he will add
greatly to his fortune. He was formerly

example of what integrity and honesty of

Then and Now.

Like the restless surging waters,
Ola river rolling on
Like theconstant, swaying branches,
OF the trees within storm.
We were once detected people,
Moving restless. to and fro.
Moving without any purpose
BY our owners forced to go.
But the glorious light OF freedom,
Cast its glory over all,
Came to raise us up to manhood.
Lift MS. from the shameful fall,
Stole within the secret chambers.
OF the heart bleeding, sor..
And with powers superhuman
Made us free forever more.
And light within was kindled
First to flicker, then to glow,
Warm the heart that long was chilled,
By the frost and slavery's, snow
Now no longer drifting need we
Borne along by the swift tide,
But star. a noble purpose.
Should guide the boat in which we ride.
Tho disasters oft confront us,
Tho the world doth laugh and sheer,
Tho the hands of tyrants ever,
Strive to crush down with fear,
We will breast the storms and breakers,
We will laugh at every storm
For we know the hand that steers us.
Can protect from all harm.

The first leap year party of the season
was given by the Ladies Afternoon club
on January at the pleasant home Of Mr..
and Mrs. Lewis Austin on B street. The
home was neatly arranged for the occa-
sion, and the cheerful fire within made the
guests forget the clustering wind and nip
ping frost without. There were about
forty guests present who enjoyed them
selves at games and in conversation. The
Renix Brothers Mandolin club, consisting
of FIVE pieces, discoursed sweet and CLASH
cal music during the evening. The club
has recently returned from an extended
tour and is an excellent musical and gen.
tlemanly organization. An elegant sup
per was served about ii o'clock. The
ladies of the club each served their several
guests 1t was rather cold night for the
ladies to see the gentlemen home and We
believe the order was changed to
usual methods of escort. 1t was the first
event of the kind for 1896 and was a
pronounced success The guest departed
about IL o'clock, those living long dis
lance procured Dramatically sealed con-
veyances as a protection against the first
