Goldfsld Is dead. The camp was seemingly in perfect health. everything continued as usual, TO intimstion be- ing given of the change sill the first o , last week when Mir. Hail, one of the owners iof the mine, returned iron

 Women sigh at the thought of having
 to move so soon, and many little pros

 watch with interest each indication All knovithss many must go, but
 would not few be kept aud who would be favored?
 Who WAS laid of today and how many
 went to work? WAS often the queFry When and where are you going? be came the topic of the dsy. Only the steadfsstnees of the mountains, the beautiful calm of the sunshiny days and the merFIment of the children seemed undisburbed.
 The fate of the school is often discuss ed and the children scounted OCT sno o'er, ss the probability Of this one go ing that one staying is oopj pjsctured, snd the teacher receives many expressions of sympathy on the prospect of losing individual. whose scjouFn here WAS not preosrious one.
 Sometimes from what they heard, one might think there would rot be 6 family in Goldheld by the end of the week. but things don't move quite so rapidly, yet as the week passes on all realize that the end Is nigh snd what little hope some had of being retained begins to wan.
 As the end is nesred many of the boys were discharged. Some Of them wished to celebrate the decesse of the town with 8 true Irish wake, but for some reRFon didnot succeed in getting the people together, and they prepared to depart.
 And as the days pass, each bringing less hope than the day before, till Sat aRday afternoon, their work being then completed the last man came on top and the engine gave last expiring sob and its soul passed ewsy. and now the ill and hoists stand outlined against the mountains 'Ionely and spectral and sombrs and still"
 As lsst it Is known that Mir. Mech en, and Uncle Billy Moyle, two old time miners, will be left as vstchmep, while to everyone else '"The world is elI be- fore them where to choose their place of rest"-oF toil.
 Men wi:hout families go as soon as discharged. Some left Saturday and Sunday, but those who have families cannot so readily move. Moet of them will remain for 8 week or two and some may leave their families here till they go and find new homes for them Sc the fate of the school is not yet deter 
 No one seems to know exactly why the mine was closed, for Bil maintain that there is plenty of ore that would pay. It does not seem that any one asked the euperintendent if he knew, the writer certainly did not find an op- portunisy of doing so. but heard many probable reasons suggested. He has his own ideas on the sutject and feel shat be Is right will report no other and they are that Mckinley is to blame 'oE the whole affair. For from what other possible source could come such 7h HAooSs40os IACSAthiEs uHICOkSQ TOT ] condition of things but from a corrupt Id administration.
