Julia S. Bailey, who sailed from Hyannis
Nov. 10 for Saco, is about given up for lost
by his wife and friends here. There is a
bare possibility the crew may have been
taken off by some foreign bound vessel. Mrs.
Wyman is great mourner and has the
heartfelt sympatl y of the community. She
has daughter and a sou. There seems to
be a sad fatality connected with the Wyman
family here. The father of Capt. Wyman,
Capt. Jacob Wyman, and two brothers, left
Portland the winter of 1862 in brig Wenona
loaded with brick for Key West, and were
never heard of after. Another brother,
Capt. Hosea Wyman, and his son Clifford
were lost in the sch. Remington, which foun-
dered at sea, grain laden for Europe. Two
of the crew were rescued to tell the tale.
Another brother, Capt. George Wyman, and
his son Frank, were lost on one of the West

LOOKS LIKE A
PROMISING CAMP
What Hugh Mcdonnell Saw
In and About the Rands.
burg District.
The Ore Much Richer and More
Plentiful Than He Had
Supposed.
Western Union Wires Are New There,
and the Santa F. Is Expected
in Ninety Days.

Hugh Mcdonnell, who negotiated the
sale of the Iron Mountain mines, Shasta
County, and who is widely known as an
experienced mining man, has returned to
the City after visit to Randsburg.
Mr.. Mcdonnell is well pleased with what
he saw there. He says there is a good
deal more ore than be expected and it is
rich. Only $50 or $50 ore is being worked.
The ore has to be hauled a long distance
10 the mills in many cases, and $50 ore,
which would be regarded as big in many
sections, is as yet not handled.
When the town gets water piped in in
abundance from Owens River or some
other contiguous place sixty or seventy
miles way, and the railroad to bring coal
and other fuel, all the cheaper ore may be
worked. He says Randsburg has the in
dications of big camp.
In appearance the place is much like
Elko, only the hills are not quite 80 high !;
but in business the country is quite sug-
gestive OF Elko. Just over the hill, three
quarters OF mile away, is Johannesburg,
the new town, which he thinks will be the
center of the district. 1t has a good site,
is well laid out and is protected from the
wind, which blows pretty steadily on the
west side.
II was quite surprised to see what did
about the district" said Mr.. Mcdonnell;
lit is a good deal richer than 1 had
thought it was. There are lots of mines
there and they are paying well. There
are six mills and they are all running.
Quite number of the mines got into
pay ore three or four feet from the sur
face. The Lodges hold out, too, as far as
the development has gone. One of the
mines is down $50 feet, and the depth
gained has been in all respects satisiac-
tory so far as the ledge is concerned.
1T is claimed there are 5000 people
there. l suppose there are 1000 or $500
anyway. The roads to the mines are Just
strung with teams hauling all kinds OF
freights. There are four or FIVE stages a
day, all the stages being loaded.
The Santa Fe Railroad, 1t is said, will
be completed TO Johannesburg in ninety
days. Work is to be commenced next
week from Kramer. Santa Fe employ yes

lately. That is where the road will GO
The Western Union Telegraph Com pany

'Of the two towns Randsburg is by far

with heavy shrinking of tents. The
other town only has few hundred people
II have changed my mind a good deal
in regard to the desert. l used to think
the desert was no account for gold min

MORE OPIUM SMUGGLING.
a Chinese Arrested for Assisting in
ansporting the Seductive Drug.

A Chinese Arrested for Assisting in
transporting the Seductive Drug.
The business of smuggling opium still
goes on despite the apparent efforts of the
customs officers to put stop to the prac-
tice. The stuff is brought into this port
from Victoria, Panama and from China
direct, but the authorities are only able to
seize small quantities at long intervals.
From all appearances the large dealers
and smugglets are able to keep out of
sight and free from molestation.
The latest in the opium smuggling line
to come to the surface was the seizure of
eight tins of opium that was being sent to
Portland, Or, through Wells, Fargo e. Co.'S
express, and the arrest of the consignor,
All Jeong. The arrest and seizure were
made late Friday night by Special Agent
Jackson and Chinese Interpreter Harry
HUH. Although Portland lies geographic
cally nearer TO Victoria than to San Fran
cisco, still it appears as though it is easier
to get the drug into this City and ship it
back more than half the distance.
Whether this seizure will lead to other
seizures remains TO be seen, for the arrest
ing officers are very reticent about giving
out any OF the facts of the case.
