Valley, prospected for a time and To-
Gated a number of claims.
Young White often wrote to his sis
ter, telling her Of the desert life and
Of the lonely solitude of the mining
camp. These letters wrought on both
the sympathies and Imagination of the
young woman, and she finally deter
all right, and, with little delay, made
her way finally into the dreary Funeral
mountains, performing the journey
across the sage brush and sandy
wastes on muleback and on foot On
reaching her brothers camp he was
surprised and overjoyed at seeing her
Miss White donned the rough
clothes of a woman prospector, and
tramped for several weeks over the
rugged hills, and at last discovered a
rich cropping. She located several
claims, and then called on her brother
to help her work them. On one of
these claims a rich vein was discov-
cred. 1t required depth to work it to
good advantage. Cole was busy with
the other properties, but White assist
ed his sister, and, together they are
working the claim, which, later,
turned out to be very rich.
When considerable depth was
reached on the ledge, White worked
at the bottom of the shaft while his
sister toiled at the windlass. She
soon found the skirts of her prospect
ing suit too restricting, so she adopt
ed the regulation clothes of the miner.
Now, Miss White has so adapted
herself to her rude surroundings, that
day after day she tolls steadily at her
task hosting the ore. partaking heart
lily of the plain rought miners food,
and sleeping in a little canvas tent.
This seems all the more singular as
she is young woman of exceptional
beauty and refinement.
Though tall and slender, Miss Laura
is possessed of remarkable endurance.
Toiling at the windlass steadily. clad
in her rough mans mining clothes,
wealth of wavy brown hair half hid
den under a Mexican sombrero, her
blue eyes sparkling as each glittering
load is hoisted to the surface, she
looks the embodiment Of perfect
health and happiness.

REAL WOMAN MINER
CALIFORNIA GIRL IS WORKING
CLAIM IN NEVADA.
Miss Laura White of San Francisco
Gives Up Society for Life of
Prospector-Has Been Emil
nentIy Successful.

Reno, Nev.-This state can boast of
having a real woman miner, not a
mere prospector, but a handsome
young woman, who actively engages
in working every day in bringing the
rich gold-bearing ore to the surface.
1t is not often that beautiful girl
will give up gay society in the city to
undertake the hardships of mining
camp in the dreary sage brush desert,
and seek for the hidden lodges of
golden ore. There are girls who are
born with the belief that they are
destined to accomplish in life more
than to spend the time in mere social
pleasure and in becoming bellies of
fashion. Miss Laura Marguerite
White of San Francisco is one of
them.
This young woman-only % years
of age-was very recently lured by
the 'call of the desert" and left the
gay whirl of social life for that of the
prospector and miner in the wide gold
fields of Nevada. And she has been
eminently successful.
Just about IL months ago Wilmot
White, a brother of the daring girl,
and Richard Cole, his partner, went
down to Nevada to seek the precious
metal. Finally the young fellows
drifted into the Funeral range, on the
eastern border of the famous Death

The reform that applies itself to the

Headquarters of
General Count de Rochambeau,
Commanding the French Allies.

The general is represented at the
age of So years, when he was in New
port in 17S0-17S1. The likeness is the
result of much research and study on
the part of the sculptor, who was
guided principally by an engraving of
the general preserved in an official
document which he had the opportuni
ty of sketching in the National library
in Paris. Count de Rochambeau's
face, with its firm chin and strong
features, impresses the observer with
his soldierly qualities. The Uniform
is that of a French general of the
period.
Beneath the medallion is a garland
composed of laurel and Of oak. The
corners of the tablet are marked with
fleur de lis, while the border is orna
mented with stars.
