LIVED IN MINING CAMPS.
"reminiscences of a Venerable Woman
Now Living in Texas.

Mrs. Julia Clark, Y years old, of
Dallas, Tex, is a survivor of the hordes,
of men and women who focked to Cali
fornia in 1849 when gold was discov-
cred in that country. With her hus-
band, Joseph Clark, who died six years
ago, she lived for fourteen years in the.
various mining camps ON the sunset
slope in the search for the yellow
metal. In describing her experiences,
Mrs. Clark says that she was the only
woman in a party which left New Or
leans in the month of July of that
memorable year. Two male relations
were with the party, however. She
says:
My husband made the trip to Cali
fornia by sea, going round the Horn.
That trip was considered too danger
Gus and inconvenient for women to.
take, and was left at home to accom-
pany a party that would start a few
weeks later. The most severe part OF
the trip was crossing Panama Our
party arrived earlier than did my hus-
bands We went from San Francisco
overland into the mining region, some
where near where Folsom is now To-
Gated. We remained there and in a
number of mining camps for three
years. My husband and myself, after
leaving the mines, lived at Sacramen-
to, San Francisco and other places for
eleven years and then returned to Ken
lucky. We had probably as much as
$4,000. My husband invested in man,
erous business ventures and lost prac-
tically all he had before we moved to
Texas. am poor now, but contenbed

WOMAN OWNS A ZOO.

of a Unique Collection.

The only woman in the world who
fondles lion cubs for amusement, and
who prefers them to either dogs or
kittens as household companions, is

able woman sees nothing unusual in
her actions, however, and says that she
never for the public. 1t hauls light
collected strange wild beasts for pets
simply because she likes them and not

delight in managing it herself.

The cost of the equipment of Mrs.

necessary to keep everything moving

is not wasted. The whole enterprise
suggests courage, executive ability and
brain power, and it is all centered in
the stylish little head of this piquant,
