LIHOUGh Joaquin Mlllers
a "the poet of the Sierras," SO
far recovered from a recent
AZ IN illness which threatened to
prove fatal that he was able
to return with his wife and daughter
to his home on the heights overlook
ing Oakland and San Francisco bay,
yet his friends entertain little hope
that he will ever be fully restored to
health. He is now in his SEVENTEEN
year Previous to his last illness he
had been separated from his wife for
thirty years, but the danger of his
death happily reunited them, and now
the aged poet is spending the re-
mainder of his days amid his well be-
loved hills, on the spot where he has
created a characteristic home, called
The Heights. His massive frame has
weakened, his once keen eyes are
dim, his flowing hair and beard are
white, and the physicians who have
climbed the wooded hills to minister
to him declare there is little if any
hope-that it is merely a matter of
a few weeks when Joaquin Miller will
have been gathered to his fathers.
His ashes, according to his wish, will
be scattered to the winds from the
pyre in the hills back of The Heights,
which marks the last resting place of
his daughter, Maud, who died several
years ago. The reunion with his wife
may prolong his days, and the care
that his other daughter, Juanita, be-
slows upon him may build up his with
cred strength a little, but there is
hardly more than a shell for them to
nurse.
Perhaps no more picturesque figure
is extant in the literary history of
California and the west than Joaquin
Miller. He is a distinct type, seem,
mgly inseparable from the environ
mant in which he has lived these
wenty years or more. He has gath
cred inspiration from the rolling
green hills, from the rudy sunsets,
from the blue Pacific waters, from the
fog banks that roll in with the night
fall, from the vista of land and sea as
seen from his eyrie on The Heights,
from the Golden Gate and the shadowy
ships that sail through it into the rim
of the horizon and are lost in the
vapor's pail
He has been, perhaps, too familiar
to the residents of Oakland and
neighboring suburbs to create the in
terest that he would if he should sud
denly appear in some eastern city
clad in his high top boots, buokskin
clothing and wide brimmed sombrero,
with his curly hair flowing from be-
meath its brim.
Even to this day, or perhaps 1t
should be said up to the time of his
illness, Joaquin Miller retained his
grace and commanding aspect. He
has lived much out of doors and has
been Drowned by suns With his own
hands he has planted the hundreds of

said to be the gamiest fish known.

as he ever had in his life. He lef,
