A most peculiar case is reported at

fell asleep at her desk In school last
Tuesday afternoon and has been sleep
ing ever since. despit the efforts OF
science to awaken her. A physician
was summoned. but despite his efforts
the girl continues to sleep as peace
fully as III she was tired from play. The
girl Is Sadie Wright, and &C far as at
present known there was no accident
or external cause for this peculiar state
OF somnolence. DNr
The physician was myefified and in
quired of the parents IL the sleeper had
ever exhibited signs OF stupor. They
replied that when she was 10 years old
she had fallen asleep suddenly one day
and had slept "a hours.
After all simple remedies failed the
doctor tried an electric battery on the
sleeper. When the current was turned
at first there was a twitching Of the
eyelids, then the eyes opened and Sadie
apparently was awakened, but not con-
sciously SO. Her parents spoke to her,
and by movements of the eyes IL was
evident that she understood what was
going on. After the application of the
battery for some minutes conscious
ness returned and the sleeper awak-

The electric battery was used for some
time. but after a time Sadie dropped OF
sleep again as suddenly as she did at

$500 TO THE PAN.
Such IL the Report From Strike Near
Ashiand-s2O.OO This Season.

Ashland, Sept. 23.-One thousand
dollars in gold was secured in two pans
OF rock pounded up and washed out
one day last week at the Angle and
Brown strike on Mount Sterling, about
20 miles south of Ashland, and just
over the California line. An Ashland
man who has just returned from the
scene is responsible for the statement,
which is not doubted 10y those who are
acquainted with the richness OF the
lead, which is known as the klondike.
This claim is located near the summit
OF Mount Sterling at an elevation Of
nearly 5000 feet above sea level, and
was accidentally discovered about
year ago by Messrs. Angle and Brown,
the latter being pocket hunter" of
experience. A small piece OF rich float
was found, and in tracing it up almost
the first srtoke OF the pick into the
ground uncovered streak of very rich
quartz and located the claim for them.
They took out several thousand dollars
in gold last year before the SHOWS OF
winter drove them off the claim, the
gold being pounded out in a hand NOR
tar. This season it is estimated that
the lucky miners have taken out not
less than SEQ, 900 in like manner, and
how long their lead will last no one
pretends to know.
They have run q cut into the noun.
tain for short distance and have only
followed the pay streak thus far to
depth OF 26 feet. The gold is found in
porphyry formation or ledge which
lies on the bedrock and pitches into
the mountain at considerable angle.
The find has led to a large number OF
prospectors trying to duplicate it in
the same section, but as yet without
success.

STRUCK A REEF.
Transport Leelenaw Kept Afioat by
Working Her Pumps Steadily.

Transport Leelenaw Kept Afoat by
working Her Pumps Steadily.
San Francisco, Sept. 26.-The United
States transport Leelenaw came into
port today with the pumps steadily at
work to overcome the effect OF a hole
in the ships bottom. The Leelenaw
sailed for Manila September 2, with
cargo of commissary stores and 200
horses for army use. After leaving this
port distemper was developed among
the horses, and so many of the animals
died that the Leelenaw put into Homo
lulu and landed there the commissary
storse and the surviving horses. The
transport then started on the return
trip to this city.
During the three days prior to reach
ing this port, so thick and constant was
the fog that no observations could be
taken, and, having lost her bearings
the Leelenaw struck reef near Mon
tara, 20 miles south of this port, last
evening. She was for five hours stuck
fast on the rocks, and when she finally
floated off at high tide it was found that
the Jagged rock had torn hole in her
bottom.
1t will be necessary for the Leelenaw
to 90 in drydock for considerable
overhauling. In addition to the leak,
the vessel was badly strained by her
experience ON the reef.

Seattle, Sept. 25.-Moved at last by
the appeals of the relatives and friends
of the misguided men, so many of
whom met death or encountered hard
ships and sufferings almost beyond hu-

dispatched a relief expedition over the
Edmonton trail route. The rescuers
left Dawson early in September. 1t is
a splendidly equipped body, led by
Corporal Kerving and Constable Boke.
The voyage will probably require seven
months. The expedition left Dawson.

SALEM MILL BURNED.
Loss on Buildings and Grain About
NiJO,OOO.

Salem, Or, Sept. 25.-The mill and
elevator warehouse of the Salem Flour
ing Mills Company, located at the
corner of Commercial and Trade streets,
were destroyed by fire at 4 o'clock this
morning. The total loss is about
$3.50, 900, large part of which will
fall on farmers who had grain stored
at the mills. There was over les, 900
bushels of wheat stored in the build
ings, only about $4,000 bushels of
which belonged TO the mill company.
The fire was caused by dust explo-
sion near the cleaners on the third floor
of the mill, and it spread rapidly.
The insurance on the mill company's
buildings and machinery, which are
almost total loss, is about 500, 900,
while their value is placed at about
S75, 900. Only about 80, 600 bushels
of the stored grain was insured, so the
loss to the owners is great. Consider
able of the grain not damaged by water,
it is thought, can be cleaned and sold
for about half price, and the mill COM
pany will take immediate steps to save
all that possibly can be saved.
The mill, which was run as an in
dependent concern by men interested
in the Portland Touring mills, may
never be rebuilt, as the Portland Flour
ing Mills Company owns another mill
in Salem. The fire was one of the
largest ever seen in Salem.

OUR HEAD is TURNED.
So Says Goodwin smith, who Thinks
Dewey Is Overestinated.

Toronto, Ont, Sept. 25.-Goldwin
Smith, writing in local paper, says:
Nothing could show the extent to
which the head OF Columbia has been
turned by the war more than her ador-
alton of the hero Dewey. What did
the hero Dewey and his comrades do?
They sat in almost perfect safety and
destroyed at long range line of help
less tubs, with some hundreds of the
poor Spaniards who manned them,
and who alone had any opportunity of
showing heroism on the occasion. So
perfectly secure did the Americans feel
that they adjourned to breakfast in the
middle OF their sport. There was
among them single casualty, and had
they all gone tiger hunting one casual
ty at least probably would have &C.
Cured.
'For this, however, Dewey, is de-
clared to be the equal of the great sea-
men who conquered in the terrible days
of Aboukir, Copenhagen, Trafalgar. If
he were so inclined he might probably
be elected president of the United
States.
Canada cannot possibly take part
in the celebration of Dewey's triulnphs
without evidence of discourtesy toward
Spain, friendly nation, which has
done Canada no wrong. Spain, let it
be remembered, though deprived of her
possessions in this hemisphere, is still
Mediterranean power, decayed at
present, but capable of restoration.
The British government will hardly
thank the Canadian government for
making her an implacable enemy"
