WHERE IS A. z. STARR?
This Miner Has Not Been Seen Since
November "a,

On or about November "a, at midnight,
a. L. Starr lett what is known as the
Mullen cabin, at the McNamee diggings,
where he had been living, since which
time no trace oi the missing man has
been obtained, aud 1t Is among the most
probable oi things that on his travels
through the Grrenhorn mountains on the
night OF his strange disappearance he fell
down some prospect shaft and was killed
by the fall. or being unable to eXtricate
himself from the depths of the shaft,
perished from cold and hunger.
A. L. Starr was pioneer OF the Rob-
insonviile section, having mined there
tor the past twenty or more years. tie
was supposed to know every foot OF the
Greenhorn district. Why he left his
cabin at midnight is not known, but hours
before going he remarked that he con.
templa,ed q visit to the Carpenter claims
a few miles away.
Prior to his going to Robinsonville to
engage in mining, Starr resided at Prairie
City, Grant county, where he became a
Mason and has ever since kept up his
membership in the lodge at that place.
His strange disappearance having been
reported to the Prairie City lodge, a
searching party of seven or eight men
was at once sent out and dligent hunt
throughout the country tributary to Rob-
insonviIle was instituted, but thus far all
efforts to find any trace oi the lost man
have been in vain.
Members OF Mr.. Stars family residing
in Baker City are almost distracted over
the reported absence OF their parent and
his probable death, and many friends both
In Baker aud Grant counties, will do all
in their power to appreheni his where.

BARK KAIULANI INJURED

San Francisco, March 1.-THE new
steel bark Kaiulani, built by Arthur
Sewall & Co. of Bath, Me-, for Will
liams, Dimond & Co. of this city, has
met with a mishap early in her career.
She sailed from New York last month
on her maiden voyage. She was bound
for Honolulu. where she was to load
sugar for San Francisco. The Mer-
chants Exchange Received despatch
yesterday stating that on March the
Kaiulani was spoken with her fore
and main topgallant masts gone and
otherwise damaged. She was then re-
turning to New York for repairs. 1t is
surmised that she received other dam
age in the storm in which she was par
TALLY dismasted.
The Kaiulani Is the first of fleet
of steel vessels now building in the
East for the sugar trade. They are to
run In conjunction with the new steam
ers now building for Williams, Di-
mond & Co.. and all of them were eX-
pected on the Coast during the year.
There are four vessels making I'M
usually long voyages to this Coast. The
Musselcrag Is now out 2i1 days from
Antwerp, the Blackbraes 2S days from
Newcastle, England, and the Emile
Galline 253 days from Swansea, all for
San Francisco, while the Annie
Thomas is 230 days out from Swansea
for Acapulco. The only one for which
any fears are entertained Is the Annie
Thomas and so per cent was paid yes

OF polygamy and the owning OF slaves
are continued in that island, although
