CHINESE GOING HOME.
Large Numbers Who Have Died
Abroad In Recent Years VIII
he Sent to China.

All the overland trains arriving at
Seattle these days bear contingents of
Chinese homeward bound. During n
recent week at least 400 of the Mon
golians left Seattle for Victoria, from
which port they were to sail for Hong
hong.
Next year is to be a big one in the
history of China, and this is, the chief
cause of the great exodus. It is then
that the ''Six Companies" in America
will superintend the shipment of the
bones OF dead Chinese to China. Rep
resentatives OF the empire will be sent
to all foreign lands for the same pur-
rose, and the beginning of 1900 will
witness impressive ceremonies con-
nected with the reinterment of the
bones in the soil of the Flowery King
dom on u more elaborate scale than
ever before.
During period beginning about
the middle of January, SO an old gray
headed Chinaman stated, and lasting
urtil the middle of March or April
TIC people in all parts of the empire
VIII observe a sacred holiday. During
its progress fasts and symbolic rites
Will be observed, and during all this
time the task OF laying the bones in
new resting places will be carried on.
IL Is to witness these ceremonies that
a large number OF Chinese are Jour
neying across the Pacific.
Another class is going home, never
to return, and among these, it is said,
are many of the better class of Can
tonese to be found in this country.
They ARE those who have grown rich
in America, and, finding old age COM
ing on, are anxious to go home and
spend the remainder Of their days in
ease and comfort. Among a party Of

aims, in a private letter from
Elk City, under date of March
2, anent the recent great gold
strike, says:
"Lamoreux has the prcttiest
thing you ever saw. He has
pounded out several thousand
dollars with a hand mortar.
! pounded an ounce of rock
and it wasn't near the best
and got $4.35. Mr.. Lamoreux
estimated the rock in an old
wheel barrow at $4,000. |
have heard it estimated as
high as 100000, but l think
he is about right. 1t is a
small lode-about a foot of
quartz. He has it uncovered
for 200 feet, and it is all good
rock; but the excessively rich
rock is only a small chimney.
He does not know how long
the chimney is, as he has done
no work only to take out a few
hundred pounds of rock. lie
is going to commence sinking
soon. The property is located
about a mile and a quarter
from Elk City.
| think this will undoubtedly
be wonderfully active camp
in the near future. In no
other camp within my knowl.
edge from Mexico to the
north line Of our country has
richer float been found than in
this region. There are many
fine lodges in this country now
being worked and very little
noise made about them either,
and the showing is most ex.
cellent. Keep your eye on
this camp. 1t only takes a
few wheel barrows, of the
Lamorenx kind of rock to do
most men and it will be found
here"
