When last seen alive by any OF his
q resident Of Saat,le for twelve years,
had nearly 500 on his person. Saunders
has been mining since March Is. and his
neighbor, G. II. Wanson, Is strongly of
the opinion that he has met foul play.
Mr.. Wansen Is now building beat.
which he intends to take to ST. Michael.
and last night at the Hotel DiI.er. where
he lives, he said TO a PoSt-intelligeneer
reporter regarding Saunders strange dis
appearance:
The last time talked 10 Saunders was
at the dock of the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company on March II. whore we wit
messed the departure of two friends for
Alaska on the Victorian.
II learned afterward that he attended
party at Fremont the following night,
but since then, as far as l have been
able TO learn. he has not been seen by
any of his friends. Saunders never de-
posted his money In any bank. and
have reason to believe that he had nearly
500 in his possession at that time.
have searchsd the city from one end to the
other, hut my efforts to find him have
been of no avail. Saunders. while in the
habit Of taking a glass of beer oceas-
ionally, never became intoxicated. and
that is what makes me believe that he
has been murdered for his money, as he
WIS always able to take care Of himself.
"If he intended to leave the city he
would unauestionably have informed me
of his intention. we have been together
more or less ever since we came from St.
Michael last summer. I first met Saunders
at st. Michael. and We had made arrange
ments to return together on the boat l am
now building"
Mr. Wanson also said that Saunders was
an experienced miner ana has called Seat
tie his home for the past twelve years.
Martin Nelson. who was the roommate OF
Saunders. also says that he has not seen
him since March Il. Mr.. WanSon will
place the case in the hands of the police.
When last seen Saunders Wore blue
overcoat a gray suit of clothes and soft
black felt hat. He was of medium height,
weighed about $50 pounds and had red
dish mustache. On his watch chain Was q
small nugget.

Mr.. Cobb. fearing bodily injury from any

sought the safety of his hotel. while the

The Exchanging Snowdrop.

There is no more constant timekeeper
than the snowdrop. 1t seems constitu-
tionally insensible Of temperature, for
although hard frost may retard the
blossoms by making the ground like
iron, through which they cannot be
thrust, they make their appearance ST.
simultaneously with thaw. On the other
hand, this curious little plant will not
respond to abnormal warmth, natural
or applied. You may coddle the bulbs
in pots and put them in warm frame
with crocus hyacinth, narcissus and
lily Of tho valley-these last will re-
ward you by anticipating their natural
season by many weeks. Not SO the
snowdrop. Unless the outside be really
frost bound the protected flowers will
keep exact pace with those in the lawn
turf. Botanists do not admit the SNOW
drop as a true native of Britain. From
the Caucasus to central Germany, they
say, is its legitimate range, but there is
no pretty weed which has established
itself so firmly as British colonist, in
those districts, at least, where soil and
climate suit it. In the Scilly isles,
strange to say, where dubious plants
are cultivated to produce hundreds Of
tons of early blossoms, the snowdrop
will scarcely live, while 400 miles to
the north, on the misty Atlantic sea-
board, it spreads from garden to lawn,
from lawn to woodland and sheets the
banks with mimic SNOWFALL Mall
Gazette.
