Old But Bound to Hunt Gold.


The oldest woman to leave Oakland for
the Cape Nome gold fields sailed Monday
afternoon on the steamer st. Paul. Mrs
Susan Worden is her name, and though
she is SO years old she is ae.i-. bright,
and well preserved.
Mrs Worden came to California via the
Panama Isthmus route forty-eight years
ago. She went with her husband and son
into the placer mines along the foothills
of the Sierra. and later visited almost
every important mining camp that was
discovered on the Pacific Coast from Brit
ish Columbia to Mexico. She located min
ing claims in many Of these new camps,
and accumulated enough of a fortune to
ensure her comfort in her old age. For
more than twenty years she has resides
in one of the houses owned by Marion
Clark. her son, in this city. The spirit of
adventure, however has never died out of
her heart. and the recent stories Of wealth
found in the sands at Nome determined
Mrs. Worden to join the men and
women who are going there by the thou
sands. Mrs. Worden said that she had no
fear of the climatic changes she might en-
counter going from Oakland to Nome. II

on the Pacific Slope" said she, "and / am

camps but has failed to find anybody 60

as she is, and of this fact she seems v.ry

permitting large quantities of hemp to be
brought to Manila for export.

As some people have the curiosity
to see the articles published in THE
RECORD last Spring that have so
terribly injured the feelings of the
Democrats in Council, we republish
them, as follows
If people want their taxes kept down
and the city money expended for that
which Is for the public benefit, II will
best be done by restoring the Repuhli-
cans to control in the council.
The Republican candidates for coun-
ell are worthy of support. To vote for
a Democrat simply because he is a
worthy man, is to give over the city to
the control of the worst elements of
the Democratic party.
Our city election was held yesterday
and with about the same result as for
two years past. Excellent candidates
were presented by the Republicans for
council, but they were cut by enough
Republicans to elect the Democratic
candidates. Frank Barley, who has
done most earnest work for the party
for years, went on the ticket in the
Second Ward because no one could be
found to accept the nomination. He
was cut by twenty-siX Republicans.
q. Howard Ryan was defeated in the
Third Ward by Republicans, although
no enc will claim that the successful
candidate is his equal i'll knowledge of
the wants of the city or i'll ability TO
watch over the financial interests of
the city. The result of the action of
these kicking Republicans will be that
IT will be almost impossible hereafter
to get men to run for the fun of being
defeated by their own party.

suppose one division that does plenty

which are less fortunate.
