"HE most magnifcent and costly
 1 pearl necklace in the world IS
 said to be owed by the Countess
 Heckel, a lady well known ln
 Paris society. It Is composed or three historical necklaces, each or w,.icl1 attracted attention in its day One of them, valued at 12,00O pounds was sold to the Countess by Spanish grandee, and is known as the neck lace of the Virgin of Atokha." The sec ond was once the property of the ex- Queen of Naples, sister of the late Elm press of Austria. The third was the famous necklace worn by the Empress Eugenie on state occasions and sold not very long ago to a firm of London jewellers for 10000 pounds.
 Colonel Henry, the French officer who killed himself when the fact that he was a forger was discovered, was the third member of the family within twenty-seven years who died a trag- ical death. The first had the misnomer of "Fortunate Henry" He was a mem Der of the commune and a colonel un- der it in 1871. His son was Emile Hen ry, who dynamited the police station of the Rue des Bon Enfants and the cafe terminus in 1894.

 "The climate is such that the old California mining methods are in use. As the frost does not go down any great distance thaWing Is not neces- sary, and as soon as the creeks are open in the spring work can begin. You don't have to dig for months on an un- certainty, but YOU see what you are doing right along. For these reasons one doesn't have to stay there during the winter; 1t Is a summer diggings en- tirely, and it is now so easy to get there and back the doctor and l intend to go up every summer and spend our win ters here at home. We have several very rich claims up there, and the doc tor Is going to take a party up with us in March next, to work on what is call ed lay-that is certain percent of the output. Wages are $5 and keep there now, and as provisions are high flour % cents a pound, sugar 75 cents, and so on. the keep amounts to some thing.

 "I made raised bread right along, having brought up some dry yeast with me and using 1t to set some regular yeast as soon as we began tentkeeping in earnest. I made pies, too, often using bacon fat for shortening and roll ing crust out on the bottom of a big gold pan with a bottle for rolling pin. The pies were good, too, and so was some French cream candy which I made once or twice as a treat to the camp.
 Every one was wild over pros pects,' and every now and then news would come from the different creeks which would cause a stampede in that particular direction. and as our party each held two licenses, one for the Northwest and one for British Colum- bia, we were always interested in all the gold news that came along. I never knew a really quiet day until we were back in Oakland, but in spite of exposure, hard work and rough fare, none of us had a sick hour during the whole time that we were away.
 1T am all impatience to go back again. We have to be there by the 1st of June else our claims are jumpable
 "One thing we have learned by ex-' perience, and that is that most people take entirely too much outfit; they let the storekeepers plan for them and the result is much Is wasted. Everybody takes too much bacon and beans-they are good in their place, but they can be purchased anywhere along the route, and quantities are thrown away by overloaded or discouraged people. Take more canned goods and dried fruits and more cocoa and less tea and coffee and you will be healthier and happier

little moment, not worth fretting about at all. I found that I could take a walk of fifteen or twenty miles, in heavy hobnailed boots, over the rough est kind of travelling, without even thinking of breaking down, and the cramped quarters in the boats, the in- conveniences of tent life and tent cook ings were things to be laughed at in- stead of worried over.
 After we arrived at Pine Creek, however, I found life little more mo- notonous, for the men put in all their time prospecting, and I was left alone at the camp to look out for things gen. orally and do the catering and cook ing for the doctor and myself. l used to provide all the game-grouse, ptar- migan and so on-for 1 am good shot and such sport was plenty, and all the fish for the camp besides, and I never felt the least bit afraid, for, although bears are to be found in the vicinity, I always felt able to take care of my self.
 'I wore denim dresses made with conveniently short skirts, boys stout long legged boots and sunbonnets or wide sun hats, with generally a mos quito net veil, for although the mos quitoes are nowhere near so bad as they are in the Klondike, there are enough of them to be annoying, and in August the gnats were too numerous for comfort.
 T put in some of my time washing out gold on my own account, and got a good sized bottle full of coarse flakes and small nuggets.

 ITO begin with, there are no reptiles there whatever. Snakes, lizards and toads are unknown, but there are thou sands of field mice, bright eyed, mis- chievous little creatures, little larger than our mice, slender of body and with longer tails These little pests are the chief discomfort of the region, for they swarm over everything and are preter- naturally brave and aggressive. They scarcely ever trouble the provisions, but they make a speciality of destroying

men were Fred Miller, brother of the George who had originally visited the place, and two helpers. We were sur prised to see them-and they were not only surprised but disgusted to see us.
 You see, they had felt so secure, off there, away from everybody, that they had not even staked out claims, but were working away quite comfortably just where their fancy led them, with no thought of possible interruption or competition. Our coming changed all that, and things began to hustle
 We could hardly wait to get our tents up, we were so anxious to begin prospecting, and Miller and his men began to hurry up too. They Jumped in to stake out discovery claims at once and as soon as possible started off to record them legally. This brought the matter to the attention of the Can adian authorities, and some of them They went back to Tagish and Bennett with exaggerated reports of the rich ness of the finds and the next thing we knew the little steamer Kilborn came up through the lakes with 100 men on board, and a more excited crowd I never saw.
 After that the steamer ran up regu- larly, and thousands of men poured into the place. They didn't all stay around Pine Creek of course, for the claims there were soon taken up, but they spread out to Spruce, Birch, Muskett and Wright and all around there.
 There is free gold in plenty up there, not in big nuggets, and not lying around loose, but it is distributed with wonderful evenness all along the creek

@ OCTOR and Mrs. ". A. Turner
 of Oakland have just returned
 from q summers outing in the
 newly exploited and suddenly
 famous gold fields of the Atlin Lake district, in British Columbia.
 Although a man by the name of George Miller discovered, six years since. that there were excellent pros poets in this-region, lie kept his dis covery a secret, and 1t was only through the instrumentality Of the Turner's and their small but adventur- ous party of seven others, who maoe the trip from Bennett to Atltn in June last, that the truth became known con- corning the rich auriferous deposits along the many creeks in this partlcu- lar section.
 The Turner party found, on June Il, only three men-Fred Miller, brother or the original discoverer, and two help ers-working on the banks or Fine Creek. in the midst of a silent wilder ness but by the middle of August over 5GOO peopIe fourfd their way there, and when work came to an end at the close of summer nearly 2000 claims had been recorded, all of them giving promise or rich eturnS.
 Mrs. Turner. who Is a slender, dark
  Q girl in appearance, shared all the haTdships and dangers of the long and Wearisome journey to this new Fl Do- rado She went as an active and use full member-of the expedition, not as piece. of fragile baggage, and her hope full enthusiasm and unfailing patience and amiabiIity under the most trying circumstances won her popularity as deserved as it was genuine.
 The only woman in the party of nine that. deserting the beaten track that led to Dawson and beyond, built boats and rowed down the lakes and rivers to the unknown country beyond Lake Atlin, and far weeks the only woman on the busy mining camp which was soon fourishing on the banks of Pine Creek, Mrs. Turner saw life from an unusual standpoint.
 She was called 'sthe Queen of Atlin" by the rough but respectful crowds of men who f1ocked into the new dig gings" and found this solitary young woman installed in her husbands tent.
