You might have seen one if you had

This was the way it came to be
frozen All night long the air had been
laden with mist. Over the fields, in the
hollows, all through the woods, even
on top of the hills, the fog hung heav

At nightfall the mercury fell below

the wind came down in the morning
they remained ,,lst there, leaning to the
southwark, iced and frozen to i'm

wind were still steadily blowing.

began to fall and the wind came from
quite another quarter, that north wind

person the jacket extends fully eight
inches below the waist.
The jacket is really the most impor-
tant part of the costume. Ifpossible, it
should be lined with silk. The sleeves
are not necessarily, lined throughout.
A facing at the wrist and a cap of silk
at the shoulder are sufficient. Unless
you are very sure Of the proper shape,
get some tailor to cut paper pattern
for you, which he will do for about 35
cents Then, after you have basted and
fitted the jacket, send It to the same
tailor to be stitched. Fhe finish which

STRUCK A BIG BONANZA.

Great Excitement in Yuma, AriI., Over the
, Discovery of Rich Gold Fields Near
There.
POMONA, Cal, April 6.--Col. George
P. Payne, a well-known gold miner OF
California for more than a quarter of
a century, who has just arrived here
from Arizona, says that Yuma has sud-
denly become a most excited mining
town. Nothing like the present ex-
citement over the suddenly found
riches and prospects of further finds
has been seen since the palmy days of
Nevada in the early '7Os. The town is
wild with excitement because of two
finds of marvellous richness OF gold ore
in the Pichaco mining district, some %
miles north of Yuma, on the California
side of the Colorado river.
Men in two mines have ran into
lodges of ore that yield over So, 900 to
the ton. The ledges in the Pichaco
district are all very large. One ledge
of low grade ore there is so feet wide.
No one can tell yet what the dimen-
sions are of the ledge in which the
rich ore has been found.

THE LATEST FASHIONS.
New Materials and New Cuts for
the Spring Costume.
Sailor Hats Are Over-Trimmed-The
Cut of the TnilOr-Made Jacket,
and How 1t Should BE Lined
For Separate Skirts.

Last year we wore bright colors, and
the ill-fated Marie Antoinette was
blamed; this yearwe wear still brighter,
and their popularity is laid at the feet
of the beloved Queen of the Britons.
This being the queens jubilee, many of
the modes worn during her corona
tion year will be revived. And as bright
colors were then fashionable, we may
expect to see them now.
The fad for bright colors and gay
trimmings is shown particularly in the
hats. In all the hats offered, one plain
enough for ordinary wear seems diff
cult to find. In fact, when a young lady
remarked: "Those hats can only be
worn on the stage" she expressed the
sentiment of many would-be pur-
chasers.
The most fantastic shapes appear.
They are decidedly Frenchy, many of
them fitting up the left side in a most
becoming manner. Then, too, they are
in lacey straws and cannot be pur-
chased for less than three dollars, This
price, of course, rules them out for
everyday wear.
For that purpose the sailor hat is still
offered, but a sailor very different from
that of last year 1t is no longer
trimmed with a plain band of ribbon.
If one can afford it, punches of flowers
stand up in row around the crown.
If blue hat, a row of violets is used,
but more extravaganza hat has flowers
in bright coral. Be sure to select coral
not red.
But a sensible everyday hat may be
sailor shape, in rough straw. A me-
dium shade Of green, or some soft brown
is rood. Take two shades of ribbon

the other below it. A small bunch of

They Sweep Down the Sides of the Cascade
Mountains, Leaving Death and Destruc-
tiOn in Their Wake.
. TACOMA, Wash, April 6.-An unpre-
cedented heavy snowfall is the cause of
tremendous avalanches which are
sweeping down the sides of the Cas-
cade mountains during the spring
thaws now in progress. Edward Gra-
ham and Daniel Shirley, miners en-
ployed at John d. Rockefeller's Monte
Cristo mines, were caught by an ava
lanche in Glacier Basin and killed.
Other miners in the Cascades have
been injured. The avalanches have
covered up or carried away roads and
greatly delayed mining operations. A
large tramway in Snohomish county
was struck by one last week and col
lapsed.
At Monte Cristo there are 20 feet of
snow on the ground. Several large
mines in the Monte Cristo, Silverton
and Trail Creek districts are tempo
rarily shut down because of deep SHOWS.

BUREAU OF IMMIGRATION.

The resources OF Nevada are not con-
fined to her silver mines. There is
within It's borders vast field where
capital can be proiitably in gold, silver,
copper, lead, cinnibar, iron and coal
properties, also in large deposits OF salt
soda, borax, etc. In fact in this State,
capital can be invested in almost any
kind OF an enterprise and will return IL
handsome profit TO the investors.
Aside from its mineral resources,
Nevada is rich in agricultural lands.
Her valleys, as rule, are composed oi
rich alluvial soil, which, as soon as
water can be brought upon it, causes an
almost phsnominal growth OF vegetation.
Contrary to the general opinion, that
has been given abroad, there is plenty
OF water in this State which by judicial
use, to thoroughly irrigate all of her
numerous valleys, that are now covered
with sagebrush. Our own citizens,
though limited in numbers, possess bot h
brain and muscle, in addition to these,
however, we desire and invite those
people who are ekeing out an existence
in the east. to come to Nevada and help
us develop one OF the grandest States in
the Union. Here one can breathe God g
pure air and enjoy life as nature intend
ed we should. We must recognize our
true condition and discard worn out
theories. The people of Nevada must
adjust themselves to their surroundings.
They must adopt more progressive
methods if they desire the tide of immi-
grafton to come this way. Let US put
forth every effort to open up to Nevada
an era OF prosperity Publish to the
world the splendid opportunities that
now lie dormant, awaiting the magic
touch OF capital to make them bear
fruit. In the message of Governor sad
Ter he says "No appropriation having
been made for the Bureau of Immigrat-
ion, there is no report from that Bureau"
Let the people awaken to the fact that
we need and must have Bueeau of
immigration, and we earnestly ask the
people OF Nevada to urge upon our law
makers the necessity OF liberal appro-
pration for the purpose of gathering
data for that Bureau.-Rustl.r.

Charles r. Pillsbury is even more EN-

ate Is that I2O.Oo0,0O bushels are just

two Dakotas alone. Previous crops are
absolutely exhausted. The present rise
