Mrs. Julia Clark. ~ years old. OF Dali
las. Tex, is survivor Of the hordes of
meu aud women who focked To Calfor-
mia in ls40 when gold was discovered
In that country. With her husband, Jo-
scph Clark, who died six years ago, she
lived Tor ii years in the various mining
camps ON the sunset slope" in the
search for the yellow metal. In de-
scribing her experiences, reports the
Chicago Chronicle, Mrs. Clark says that
she was the only woman in u party
which left New Orleans in the month
of July of that memorable year. Two
male relations were with the party,
however. She says:
My husband made the trip to Califor-
mia by sea, going round the Horn. That
trip was considered too dangerous and
inconvrnieut for women to take, and l
was left at home to accompany a party
that would start few weeks later.
The most severe part of the trip was
crossing Panuma. Our party arrived
earlier than did my husbands. We went
from San Francisco overland into the
mining region, somewhere near where
Folsom is now located. We remained
there and in number of mining camps
for three years. My husband and my
self. after leaving the mines. lived at
Sacramento. San Francisco and other
places fur'i years and then returned
to Kentucky. We had probably as much
as 100000. My husband invested in nu-
merous business ventures and lost proc-
ticaliy all he had before we moved TO
Texas. am poor now. but contentedrn
my old age with my relatives"

Ardent Free silver Men Buying Gold
Mines.
A few days ago publication was made
OF the fact tat the Pope Bros. of
Parkersburg, had disposed of their
valuable gold mining property in
Georgia to "a syndicate, composed of
Ohio capitalists.
The Parkersburg Journal says: The
Pope boys received s7s,oo cash for
their property, and 1T is generally
known that the sale netted them $50,
900 or more.
1t will be remembered that the pur-
chasers names were not given for the
reason that they did not care for pub
licity. Since the sale it has leaked out
that the new owners of these GOLD
MINES are none other than some of the
most distinguished free silver advo-
Gates and leaders in Ohio.
From Marietta comes the informa-
tion that General A. j. Warner and
Charles G. Slack, OF that city, are heav-
lily interested financially in the new
gold mine. Possibly other Mariettians
are also in the syndicate.
1t is also known that some Columbus
capital is in the deal aud it is gener-
ally supposed that Allen Thurman and
other equally prominent free silver
apostles of that city, are associated
with General Warner in this gold mine
venture. This is given weight by the
fact that Mr.. Thurman has often been
associated with General Warner in
business enterprises.
