The citizens of this city we'll re-
member Pearl Boyd, the Gypsy girl
whose frequent appearance in the
local police court during the few
months In which she was encamped
with her migratory companions in
this valley, was topic OF a great deal
of conversation. She now puts In an
appearance at Coquille City. Ate r
leaving Salem, she went to Eugene
where she served sentence in the
county Jail for petit larceny. Since
leaving this city, she has continued
to "work" the valley towns as she did
iu Salem, until her practices are ex-
posed when she seeks new pastures.
She sfirst gains the sympathy or
friends by reciting a pitiful tale and
having won their confidence, betrays
the same by perpetrating thefts and
minor crimes against her benefactors.
The latest heard from the lgirl is
her appearance In Coquille City and Of

The band Of gypsies who infested

rather an embarrassing position, and
the town given topic for romantic

lady member Of the party, and who,
they claim, is the child Of the elder
gypsies, appealed to the officers for
protection, and was taken in charge
by Marshal Buck. The young lady,
who claims her Dame to be Cora But

California. 8 Production

In 1896 there were seven counties or Cali
fornia which produced over $1,0O00OO and
one of these yielded over $2,000,O 900. In 1897
there were but six million-dollar counties,
and none of them reached the two-million
mark. Nevada county, which held the
place of honor in 1896 in bullion product, still
maintains it's position in 1897. but Tuolumne
county, which ranked No. in 1896. takes
second place in 1897, ,displacing Placer. which
is now third on the list. Calaveras, which
was third, Is now fourth in rank. Amador
also drops back one place, being now fifth,
instead Of fourth. Trinity, which was fifth
in 1896, is sixth in 1897, holding the place

county dropping out of the list Of million
dollar producers, for the time at least.

The Elements of Success in Peace or
War

At Caledonia hall the pastor, Rev. A. A.
Rice, spoke on 1.-THE Elements of Success in
Peace or War" The text, Math. xvii-20:
"If We have faith as a grain of mustard
seed, nothing shall be impossible to you."
He said: The Scripture, from which this
text is taken. is record both of a failure
and a success, and the text indicates the
reason for each. The disciples were un-
able to perform a cure from lack of faith;
Jesus performed it from an abundance of
faith. The text is statement of the fact
that faith and success are inseparably
bound together. Faith here may be de-
fined as persistent confidence in God and
his economy touching man. Confidence
and persistence are the characteristics of
that faith to which Jesus calls all men, and
in all departments of life they are the ele-
ments of success. That individual church
or nation which is settled in the faith of the
triumph Of eternal righteousness shall be
successful in endeavor.

this company has found the mother lode"
of the Rand mountain in their tunnel on

Charles Eaton, a millwright who had
charge of the building Of the johannesburg
reduction works, has been engaged to take
charge of the erection Of the Little Butte
mill and is already on the ground. Part
Of the framework is in place and before
many weeks the stamps will be dropping
on ore from the mine.
A large shipment Of Blackhawk ore is
being treated at the mill at Cuddeback
lake. At a recent mill run at the Eureka
mill 2k-ton lot went $3.50 dollars. The
owners were agreeably disappointed. as
they expected 1t would go about $40 per
ton. 1t has been reported that they have
been offered $4,000 for quarter interest
in this mine, but have refused to take 1t.
H. r. Bacon has started up development
work on the Republic mine. The shaft is
down about fifty feet and prospects we'll.
He will soon have mill run Of about fifty
tons.
At the Hector mine a gasoline engine
and hoist has been put in place this week
and from now on work will be pushed Wig
orously. The shaft is about 120 feet deep
and contains some very rich ore.

EN- ROUTE TO ALASKA
A Duarte Mans Vivid Description of
the Journey

WINDY ARM, Tagish lake, B. c., Easter
Sunday, April 10.-I wrote you ten days
ago from head Of Too Schie lake. Since
then we have done some hard work trans
ferring our outfit to this place.
Our first trip across Too Schie lake,
distance of ten miles. was the hardest.
Three of us started out with 1850 pounds on
three sleds, with a sail 6x10 on front sled.
But there was not sufficient wind, so we
dropped one sled and had to do some hard
pulling to get through. On our return trip
we had to face strong wind, with snow.
Got back to camp about 8 p. m. Remained
in camp next day resting and enlarged our
sail to 10x10. On our next trip we had a
good wind, sometimes too much; 1t tipped
our sleds several times, finally we had to
lower sail to reduce speed. Then we had
no snow but strong wind to face for
ten long miles back to camp. The snow
under foot was loose and it was like walk
ing in sand. After this we loaded light,
and with a good wind we went through in
fine shape, but at no time faster than a
m an can walk, for the sled must be guided.
man walks in front and guides by means
of pole attached to the front Sled
The 9Th of April all hands worked, and
with "Pate's" assistance with dog team
moved camp to this place. If we decide to
stop here to build our boats we will remain
until about the 1st of June, or until the ice
breaks up.
There is quite population here; tents
are pitched on every point on the south
end of the lake. Everybody is busy chop
ping timber, saving lumber and building
boats. There is business-like air about
the place. More people are coming and
some are going, they know not where.
On the lake the ice is from three to four
feet thick and covered with from four to
six inches of snow. The trail is in bad
shape now, as the snow is fast disappear
ing, leaving the trail rough and difficult to
travel. A sawmill is being put up near orr
camp. l understand they will ask $3.50 per
1000 for lumber. We have just learned of
that awful accident on the Chilcoot pass.
There is no danger of anything like that
occurring here. We have had fine weather
the greater part Of the time. Today it is
almost like summer. If 1t continues long
the snow will soon be gone. We are tanned
and rough-looking, but are all well. The
coolest weather we have experienced was
20 degrees below zero on the 25th of March.
We worked without coats and did not mind
the cold, though our faces were covered
with Ice, our boards being frozen. There
is great number of people all along the
trail, but good many become discouraged
and turn back. We intend to stay with it.
Our letters are brought in and taken out
by private carriers at 25 cents per letter.

ELEMENTS OF WORSHIP
Rev. David Walk at the Church Of
Christ

David Walk, in the Church of Christ on
Eighth street, near Central avenue, deliv-
cred the third and concluding sermon of
the series based on the first three verses
of the 92d Psalm: upon an instrument of
ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon
the harp with a solemn sound" Three in
struments mentioned in single verse.
This is significant of healthful variety In
worship. The mind needs to be kept on
the alert, or 1t will stagnate. We weary
of monotony. In some of the galleries of
Europe we wander through miles Of the
choicest works of art in the world, and we
gaze until even art duls our susceptible
tiles, and we become weary and hstless
from the wealth of the treasures spread out
in almost endless vistas before US. Music
hath charms, but we protest against al
ways listening to the same tune. I can
sympathize with the man who advertised
for house In neighborhood where there
was no piano.
Every healthy soul Graves and demands
variety. In food and apparel, and In all
the appointments of life, we need variety.
And God has provided for this obvious
need Of the intellectual and spiritual ma
ture. No two stars, faces, blades of grass
or leaves on the trees are alike. God has
written variety everywhere upon the face
Of the physical universe. The spiritual
side of our nature demands variety. Even
in the heavenly world, we read of a crystal
river, of trees which bear twelve kinds Of
fruit and with monthly yield, of a sea. of
glass, etc. All this speaks of variety. There
is but one book whose perusal is perennially
fresh, and that is the Bible This proves
1t to be of God.
But with variety must be Joined rever-
ence. A want of reverence for sacred
things is one of the striking facts of this
utilitarian age. upon the harp with a
solemn sound" In order to gain blessing
our souls must be in the right attitude be-
fore God, and reverence is that attitude.
Anything trifiing or fiippant is to be depre-
Gated as wanting in reverence. He who
would be photographed must assume the
right position relative to the camera. and
he who would have the image of Christ
stamped upon his heart must get into
right relations with him.
