A rural FreuchEHn after his first corn meal said: "When I tell them at home that I have eaten corn, they will not believe me; we feed It only to beasts." The manager showed me a letter from% clubman at Lyons, which read: "Monsieur Direct* or, pleaae send me five or tea francs worth of corn cakes, C. O. D." The manager replied that in order to be *p- predated, the corn cakes must be served hot, and If he would do him the honor to call at the Annex, In Paris, he would furnish them free. The greatest patronage of the corn bread kitchen comes from Americans In Paris, who do not need conversion.

At ton in the evening the' sun is still shining on the snowy pealr of Mt. Dewey. People assemble at church, lecture or concert, and go home after it is over without any light except that of the sun.

Such twilight as lands nearer the equator cannot furnish, has beautified the skies since sunset. Not bright colors, but soft silvery tints, as If Nature had spread a filmof daintiest laco over her cholsest painting. The mountains stand In bold relief, and along their sides the islands of fog floating up from the bay, soem shimmering In a gaseous sea. The lightIs partially smothered, except in the west, where may be plain- ly seen the place where the sun disap- peared. It Is neither day, night nor twilight, but a mingling of all three, forming a scene never to be forgotten. Before the novelty has passed, a trans- formation occurs, the fading light in the west shares its interest with the be- ginning of dawn In tho east, and the climax of Natures wonders is so en- trancing that the very stars seem, to veil their light in awe and admiration. Before two the western mountain tips are glorified with the banners of day and Nature' claims the forfeit of the night entertalnmoht, and forces a desire for sleep In spite of the fascination of an Arctic night scene.

CALAVERAS COUNTY Chronicle: The Ford mill*at San Andreas was shut down last Monday and we understand the run has proved * very satisfactory. The suspension, we are pleased to say, is only temporary, involving a matter of only throe or four weeks. D.i -ing this . tirao the shaft and works will be completely overhauled and repaired and prepara- tions made for continuous work. Work on tho Louo Star'mine was suspended owin^- to their binnjj- minus a blacksmith. T!i-y rosuiuod work Sunday morning:. The Sheep Ranch mino, is located on the East Belt and has beun ono of tho most productive and steady paying mines in tho Stale, it having! turned out something-, between $.*S,OOO,OiHV and $4,000,000 since l*i~. It has been de- veloped to a depth of 1200 ft»t and still good ore is known to oxi.st on tho bot- tom. It. was opened up by a new com- pany lust year aftor five jWrs of idle- ness. It is reported that the. results from the crushing in tho now mill are quite satisfactory to the company. There are many other promising properties in this district still i-omaio- in;jidle ami only awaiting- Mio means to open and develop them into dividend paying properties. : The Martha Is tho southern extension of the Ritter, and with proper develop- ment, It promises to rival the;latter property in richness. It U opened by a crosscut and two drifts which'show that the average width of the vein is from 1J to 7 feet and the ore prospects well in free gold in some places. In the central crosscut there is a 7 foot .ledge of lowgrade ore. In the-north cut the ledge is 11 feet .wide and well ribboned, prospecting well in fine gold. The south cut shows a ledge 3 feet wide with a narrow vein, resembling that of the Ritter, which prospects well in fine gold. Its owners are gettiug ready to start operations soon and will develop the property to a good extent. \u25a0/- Prospect: H. S. Dawson and Francis Cutting, President and Secretary of the Eagle Gold MiningCompany whoso works are located near El Dorado, passed through town Wednesday, on their return to Stockton. They bad been up to the mine for several days to witness the final cleanup for the season. This mine which is a gravel proposi- tion, is one of the best paying proper- ties In the county considering the amount of money invested. We did not learn the result of the last clean-up but know that heretofore it has paid about $100 per day for the time .it -was worked. Work for tho season . has suspended now on account 'of lack of •water. The owners of the Golden Gate mine situated near Angels, are looking after their property witha view to extensive operations in the near, future. 'The shaft is already down 75 feet and %the rock runs about $11 to the ton, free gold, and $140 in sulphurets,. with* a ledge of 18 feet. A five stamp mill will be' erected at once and the necessary machinery for extensive operations. DOCUMENTS RECORDED. H. H.LOOK, Sanitary Inspector for State Board of Health- It gives me great pleasure to congrat- ulate the officers for thoiripfficjont work Instamping o,ut a disease which seemed so firmlyrooted, and also to the citizens ior their hearty support which thoy have given the health officer and phy- sicians insuppressing tho epidemic. Inmy opinion people from.other dis- tricts can come and go without fear of cantracting the disease and commerce resumed without the possibility oi spreading the infection: The quarantine regulations are so thorough that there has been no case occurring outside of the members of the families actually quarantined, and since the period of incubation has now expired, and as all cases and all suspects have been isolated, there can be no ex- tentlon of the disease. Strictest meas- ures of disinfection is and will be car- ried out in every case, and there can be no danger of distributing the contagion to the neighboring towns, After having visited Jaokson the second time to inspect ahe quarantine regulations adopted there and also tp investigate the conditions as regards the smallpox epidemic, I am pleased to say that the disease is entirely under control and that there willbe no fur- ther spread of the contagion.

Look, Sanitary Inspector for tho State Board of Health) was In Stockton last Monday and while there was iutorviewed by a reporter of the Independent. Inspeaking- of the con- dition of things in Jackson, Dr. Look said : "The disease is under perfect con- trol and there Is not the least danger of its spreading. There Is no mail sent out of the houses whore there are patients and no chances are taken on the disease becoming scattered. The regulations are exceptionally strict and the people are obeying them*to a letter." Under Perfect Control. This is ono of the most thrilling grade episodes that ever occurred in this soction, and that no one was killed is little short of a miracle. Myers was covered with cork bruises from the shoes of his horses, from his heels to his shoulders, but fortunately he was not hit in the head or doubt- less he would have, received mortal in- juries.' His loss Is fully $200. Jack Nash told him to take his wagon to the shop and have it repaired and he would foot the bill,but that he was not able to make good tho loss of the horse. Myers is well pleased that he escaped with his life. , In the meantime, the runaway team which caused the trouble, came thundering- down the grade, but the driver, Jack Nash, managed in some manner to run them into the bank or into a stone heap and bring- them up without any damage except the break- ing of a back -strap. In explanation of the runaway, Nash said that he was fixingthe brake when his team started and he held on to the lines but could not reach the brake to set It. '-, Last* Tuesday •' afternoon about 3 o'clock, -Oscar ,Myers was ascending the Stony creek, grade with his four- horse wood wagon containing a cord and a quarter of wood for the Onelda mine. \u25a0He had reached a place on the grade where he had often wondered "what a fellow would do If he met a runaway team, " and the same thoughts were in his mind, when he was amazed to 'see' the' -very catastrophe he had often \u25a0\u25a0 imagined - imminent. . Bearing down upon him, with an ominous rat- •tle and bang, came four horses, wild with fright, attached to an empty wood wagon. Ye gods! it was a ticklish moment and no time for deliberation. The first thought was father to the act. Myers jumped, intending to hold his leaders well to one side hoping the runaways would somehow pass without killing his team. But before he reach- ed the leaders they. turned, and with a. rush took the - back track trampling Myers under their feet, taking the wheelers with them and actually turn- ing that loaded wagon around within a space of twelve foot and with the whole outfit ran down the road fully 300 yards, where one of the wheelers fell and was killed. The other horses, with the pole and fore wheels of the wagon, ran some distance farther. What driver on mountain roads, where the grades are often dangerous- ly narrow, who has not often said to himself, as ho approached a narrow 'stretch "of grade, "This would be a fearful- place to meet a runaway team." A Thrilling Adventure. Following is an extract from Dr. H. H. Look's report to the State Board of Health: "Tho report was read by Sec- rotary Mathews. After reciting the nature and numher of cases at each of tho three points, Dr. Look's report stated that the disease had been quar- antined and stamped out at Rio Vista and Marysville, and that, in Jackson, owing to the effectiveness of the quar- antine, the disease would, disappear within three Qr four> weeks. Dr. Look found that out of thirty five cases in Jackson only one porson had previously been vaccinated." Report to State Board.

The Star King, like many properties on the oast belt, turned out its thousands in gold and was then disrated and abandoned. In that day tho operators had not the labor saving facilities of the present; besides they dreamed not of delving deep Into the earth for tho precious stuff, being: contented to scrapo the crust. Tho company now having con- trol fully understands the absolute de- mands for deep mining and they are prepared to meet allrequirements. At present the water is being pumped from the mine. While this is in pro- gress the company has entered into contract for the erection of hoisting works and a Krogh two stamp mill, which will be completely furnished with allup-to-date machinery. At last the Star King will take its position among the great mines of the county, a position that it justly deserves. Wm. Floyd will be the superintendent. He is an experienced miner and under "his supervision we are satisfied that &c Star King will give a good account Of itself.

By all means dissuade all your friends from going to, 'Ifftm.V'thls season.

The sanitary conditions at Nome are very bad. The • hospital is crowded already with typhoid fever patients. Pneumonia is very common too, owing to the ice which underlies the ground only a few inches down and the raw, damp atmosphere of the coast. One business * sign reads, ' 'A.', , P. Lopez, office hours from 2 to 3a. m." ! The company J signed with brought $5,000 worth of mining machinery and bupplles to Nome, their freight amount- ing to over $700. They, like many other similar companies, expected to got territory on the Nome beach to oporato on, I believe. There is at least half a million dollars worth of pumps, engines, boilers, pipe, hose and various gold mining devices, lying on the Nomo beach with little, if any, possibility of finding a workinglocation for it this seaspn, Very many of the mining creeks have been jumped by desperate Yukoners, and In the town of Nome, lots, supposed to be owned by those occupying them last season, were found to be jumped and claimed and held by some lawless person when the former owners returned from tfie outside world this summer. Were it not so serious a condition,' it "ould be indeed laughable— the true picture of Nomo as it is in 1900. There are plenty of lawyers in Nome and plenty of would be litigations, but no courts of equity have as yet been established. Gun arguments are of daily occurrence and 6 men had been killed during our stay inNome. There aro only a few soldiers at tho Military Post, but there are 1200 on tho Transport ship, ."Rosencranz, " wh}eh js stuck fast B> the mud flats near j the mouth of the Yukon river. Very little goid dust is being 1 brought into' Nome, nearly all the money is "Chee-Chocker" money, as the Eskimos, call the new corners. Consequently the gamblers, hurdy- gurdys and other parasites, are not rolling in wealth as they anticipated, although Nome Is probably the "widest open" town inNorth America, for at this time of tho year, daylight lasts all night. You see tho sun sots at Nome, inJune, about 11 p. m. in the nprth- west, and abgut \ q'clqcl? see thjo sun rise in the north-east, Amore mixed up state of human af- fairs would "bo hard "to imagine than the present condition of the multitude of people now camped on i the Nome beach. The marshy "Tundra", not being suitable for human habitation, the beach is now so thickly covered with tents as to preclude any mining operations unless one mines hie own domicile ground. Then, too, the pay- ing portions of the beach were thoroughly worked over last season so that what remains is but the tailings, which, worked by large plants might pay when the multitude have left the beach, but is not possible at present. Men with rockers aro only making ex- penses at best when $hey find room to work and many don't make their grub. Two ships have landed smallpox at Nome, and the morning we sailed, two new cases of that disease were reported by the surgeon of the army post, mak- ing13 cases altogether. We sailed fromSan Francisco on the "Senator" May 14th, calling at Seattle Tacoma and Port Towsend. . On the first of J une we entered the ice floes of Behring Sea and for. more than a week tho "Senator" forced its way through vast fields of broken ice, from10 to 15 feet thick and extending as far as the horizon inevery direction. The ice began to close in on us so tight that it was a difficult matter to get out again, and as the supply of coal was getting low the put back to Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian. Islands. After six days we again- made the at- tempt to plough through the icebergs and succeeded in reaching Nome on the evening of the 14th of June, just one month out from San Francisco. State Boom 26, S.

Ladies' muslin chemise, 20 cents at the Red Fronti $43-^"" Paris, Prance, June 25, 1900. j Life day by day at the Paris Exposi- tion Is not exciting or sensational, but It Is full of Incidents. I will give you a .history of one day at the Exposition. I entered the grounds at half past nine o'clock, and crossing the Alma bridge, went Into the first open building on the right. It was the building devoted to medical science, hygiene and sanita- tion. It was opened for the first time to-day. The displays of Prance are, of course, the most cohsplouous and in the vestibule there is a bust of M. Pasteur and a statue of the Goddess of Fame placing a wreath of laurel on bis head. The room Is filledwith glass re- ceptacles containing cultivated germs of many diseases; it Is indeed a grue- some spectacle, this Pandora's Hall of Isolated deadly microbes, and one feels glad that they are in hermetically sealed bottles and that the bottles are incarefully locked glass cases, and that these are surrounded with all the steri- lizingparaphernalia and all the cura- tive agenoles known to science. After France, the German section may be seen, with a bust In bronze of Dr. Koch and models of sanitary in- stitutions and hospitals. I had but half an hour for this building, in which one might spend a week. Taking the electric car, I quickly reached the American Printer's Building, and en- gaged a stenographer by whose assist- ance I hope to increase and improve my output. Then to the car again, which landed me about half a mile from the American section of agricul- ture and alimentation. It is not easy to find anything here; guides are few and ill-Informed. There are wilder- nesses of exhibits and no landmarks, and unless you are careful not to turn around, you are likely to be walking away from your objective as toward It. I had been to this exhibit often before, but never from this direction, and I must have walked half a mile and got- ten direction and misdirection from people of half a dozen nationalities before I found it. Then I discovered that the gentlemen in charge, who had promised me certain data, were oft on the Jury of Awards. By this time, it was one o'clock, and I left Paris and France for half an hour and crossed into Switzerland for luncheon. The Swiss village, separated from the World's Fair by the width of a street, Is decidedly the most genuine show in Paris. It is a section of Switzerland most .cunningly transplanted in the roaring hub-bub and fatiguing splendor of the Exposition. High precipices shut out on all sides the dazzling, noisy world you have left, and it is easy to imagine you are many miles away fromParis. Abeautiful cascade falls from the mountain side.* It is real water. Itturns the wheel of an old mill and. flows over stones and amid weeds and wild flowers through the village. Chalets are on green patches above you and the perspective is so skillfully managed that they appear to be full size. Workmen are making actual hay in the little village to tne left; here are real cows and goals, a little churoh and a dozen restaurants, all clean and picturesque. The logs oi which the houses are built have been taken from some old houses inSwitzer- land, for not the slightest detail v, lacking in this most charming, home- like and restful ensemble. Of course, the Juxtaposition with the roaring citj and the Exposition without, and ttu psychological contrast greatly en- hances the effect, but seriously, thU Swiss village is about the only thing 1 want to take home. No photographb or even paintings can do it justice, for every step through Its winding streets brings to your view a new and charm- ing perspective. So old, so rural, and restful is the scene! I sit down under the portico of a little vine thatched inn where fresh butter, bread and coffee, meat, vegetables, cheese and straw- berries are served by a girl in the costume of her canton, and all for 80 cents. But I must leave this charming Idyl and go to tho American corn kitchen, which is up three flights of stairs ina frame annex, the two lower floors of which are covered with Mc- Cormlck's harvesters, Buckeye Reap- ers and mowers, and othor farming maohinery of American make. The corn kitchen amuses me. It is such a serious fake. It is expensive, too, to our country,, but "who cares for ex- penses?" It is the only free lunch in [France, for they do not do things that 'way here. Treating is unknown, 'and this is wholesale treating. Tho French male and female, regard it with sus- picion and approach the. lunch counter with fear. They do this the first time, but "bouleveree" by the novel experi- ence of eating without being charged tor tho nakpin, the sugar, the plate, the service, corn soup, corn fritters, corn oakes, and syrup, allina long ite- mized bill, a la Francals, they come again and again until the managing American (who by the way is a born diplomat and speaks French) explains that the kltohen is not intended for a regular and permanent free boardlcg house.

Itgives me great pleasure to congrat-ulate the officers for thoiripfficjont workInstamping o,ut a disease which seemedso firmlyrooted, and also to the citizensior their hearty support which thoyhave given the health officer and phy-sicians insuppressing tho epidemic.

Inmy opinion people from.other dis-tricts can come and go without fear ofcantracting the disease and commerceresumed without the possibility oispreading the infection:

The quarantine regulations are sothorough that there has been no caseoccurring outside of the members ofthe families actually quarantined, andsince the period of incubation has nowexpired, and as allcases and allsuspectshave been isolated, there can be no ex-tentlon of the disease. Strictest meas-ures of disinfection is and willbe car-ried out in every case, and there can beno danger of distributing the contagionto the neighboring towns,

Afterhaving visited Jaokson thesecond time to inspect ahe quarantineregulations adopted there and also tpinvestigate the conditions as regardsthe smallpox epidemic, Iam pleased tosay that the disease is entirely undercontrol and that there willbe no fur-ther spread of the contagion.

This is ono of the most thrillinggrade episodes that ever occurred inthis soction, and that no one was killedis littleshort of a miracle.

Myers was covered with cork bruisesfrom the shoes of his horses, from hisheels to his shoulders, but fortunatelyhe was not hitin the head or doubt-less he would have, received mortal in-juries.' His loss Is fully $200. JackNash told him to take his wagon tothe shop and have it repaired and hewould foot the bill,but that he was notable to make good tholoss ofthe horse.Myers is wellpleased that he escapedwithhis life.,

In the meantime, the runaway teamwhich caused the trouble, camethundering- down the grade, but thedriver, Jack Nash, managed in somemanner to run them into the bank orinto a stone heap and bring- them upwithout any damage except the break-ing of a back -strap. Inexplanation ofthe runaway, Nash said that he wasfixingthe brake when his team startedand he held on to the lines but couldnot reach the brake to set It.

'-,Last* Tuesday •' afternoon about 3o'clock, -Oscar ,Myers was ascendingthe Stony creek, grade with his four-horse wood wagon containing a cordand a quarter of wood for the Oneldamine. \u25a0He had reached a place on thegrade where he had often wondered"what a fellow would do If he met arunaway team,

"and the same thoughts

were inhis mind, when he was amazedto 'see' the' -very catastrophe he hadoften \u25a0\u25a0 imagined

-imminent. . Bearing

down upon him, withan ominous rat-•tle and bang, came four horses, wildwithfright, attached to an empty woodwagon. Ye gods! it was a ticklishmoment and no time for deliberation.The first thought was father to theact. Myers jumped, intending to holdhis leaders well to one side hoping therunaways would somehow pass withoutkillinghis team. But before he reach-ed the leaders they. turned, and with a.rush took the

-back track trampling

Myers under their feet, taking thewheelers with them and actually turn-ing that loaded wagon around withinaspace of twelve foot and with the wholeoutfit ran down the road fully 300yards, where one of the wheelers felland was killed. The other horses,withthe pole and fore wheels of thewagon, ran some distance farther.

What driver on mountain roads,where the grades are often dangerous-ly narrow, who has not often said tohimself, as ho approached a narrow

'stretch "of grade, "This would be afearful- place to meet a runaway team."

A Thrilling Adventure.

Following is an extract from Dr. H.H.Look's report to the State Board ofHealth: "Tho report was read by Sec-rotary Mathews. After reciting thenature and numher ofcases at each oftho three points, Dr. Look's reportstated that the disease had been quar-antined and stamped out at Rio Vistaand Marysville, and that, in Jackson,owing to the effectiveness of the quar-antine, the disease would, disappearwithin three Qr four> weeks. Dr. Lookfound that out of thirty five cases inJackson only one porson had previouslybeen vaccinated."

Democratic Banner: The Star King,which indays agono, noted as a bullionproducer, has passed into tho hands ofa Boston syndicate. The Star King,likemany properties on the oast belt,turned out its thousands in gold andwas then disrated and abandoned. Inthat day tho operators had not thelabor saving facilities of the present;besides they dreamed not of delvingdeep Into the earth for tho preciousstuff, being: contented to scrapo thecrust. Tho company now having con-trol fullyunderstands the absolute de-mands for deep mining and they areprepared to meet allrequirements. Atpresent the water is being pumpedfromthe mine. While this is in pro-gress the company has entered intocontract for the erection of hoistingworks and a Krogh two stamp mill,which will be completely furnishedwithallup-to-date machinery. Atlastthe Star King will take its positionamong the great mines of the county,a position that it justly deserves.Wm.

Then, too, the pay-ing portions of the beach werethoroughly worked over last season sothat what remains is but the tailings,which, worked by large plants mightpay when the multitude have left thebeach, but is not possible at present.Men with rockers aro only making ex-penses at best when $hey find room toworkand many don't make their grub.Two ships have landed smallpox atNome, and the morning we sailed, twonew cases of that disease were reportedby the surgeon of the army post, mak-ing13 cases altogether.

Paris, Prance, June 25, 1900. jLifeday by day at the Paris Exposi-

tion Is not exciting or sensational, butItIs fullofIncidents. Iwillgive you a.history of one day at the Exposition.Ientered the grounds at half past nineo'clock, and crossing the Alma bridge,went Into the firstopen buildingon theright. Itwas the building devoted tomedical science, hygiene and sanita-tion. Itwas opened for the first timeto-day. The displays of Prance are,of course, the most cohsplouous and inthe vestibule there is a bust of M.Pasteur and a statue of the Goddess ofFame placing a wreath of laurel on bishead. The room Is filledwith glass re-ceptacles containing cultivated germsof many diseases; it Is indeed a grue-some spectacle, this Pandora's Hall ofIsolated deadly microbes, and one feelsglad that they are in hermeticallysealed bottles and that the bottles areincarefully locked glass cases, and thatthese are surrounded withall the steri-lizingparaphernalia and all the cura-tiveagenoles known to science.

After France, the German sectionmay be seen, with a bust In bronze ofDr. Koch and models of sanitary in-stitutions and hospitals. Ihad buthalf an hour for this building,inwhichone might spend a week. Taking theelectric car, Iquickly reached theAmerican Printer's Building, and en-gaged astenographer by whose assist-ance Ihope to increase and improvemy output. Then to the car again,which landed me about half a milefrom the American section of agricul-ture and alimentation. Itis not easyto findanything here; guides are fewand ill-Informed. There are wilder-nesses of exhibits and no landmarks,and unless you are careful not to turnaround, you are likely to be walkingaway fromyour objective as towardIt.Ihad been to this exhibit often before,but never from this direction, and Imust have walked half a mile and got-ten direction and misdirection frompeople of half a dozen nationalitiesbefore Ifound it. Then Idiscoveredthat the gentlemen incharge, who hadpromised me certain data, were oft onthe Jury of Awards. By this time, itwas one o'clock, and Ileft Paris andFrance for half an hour and crossedinto Switzerland for luncheon. TheSwiss village, separated from theWorld's Fair by the width of a street,Is decidedly the most genuine show inParis. Itis a section of Switzerlandmost .cunningly transplanted in theroaring hub-bub and fatiguingsplendorof the Exposition. High precipicesshut out on all sides the dazzling,noisy world you have left, and it iseasy to imagine you are many milesaway fromParis. Abeautiful cascadefalls from the mountain side.* Itis realwater. Itturns the wheel of an oldmilland. flows over stones and amidweeds and wild flowers through thevillage. Chalets are on green patchesabove you and the perspective is soskillfully managed that they appear tobe full size. Workmen are makingactual hay inthe little village to tneleft; here are real cows and goals, alittlechuroh and a dozen restaurants,allclean and picturesque. The logs oi

which the houses are built have beentaken fromsome old houses inSwitzer-land, for not the slightest detail v,

lacking in this most charming, home-likeand restful ensemble. Of course,the Juxtaposition with the roaring citjand the Exposition without, and ttupsychological contrast greatly en-hances the effect, but seriously, thUSwiss villageis about the only thing 1want to take home. No photographbor even paintings can do it justice, forevery step through Its winding streetsbrings toyour view a new and charm-ingperspective. So old, so rural, andrestful is the scene! Isit down underthe portico of a littlevine thatched innwhere fresh butter, bread and coffee,meat, vegetables, cheese and straw-berries are served by a girl in thecostume of her canton, and all for 80cents. ButImust leave this charmingIdyl and go to tho American cornkitchen, which is up three flights ofstairs ina frame annex, the two lowerfloors of which are covered with Mc-Cormlck's harvesters, Buckeye Reap-ers and mowers, and othor farmingmaohinery of American make. Thecorn kitchen amuses me. Itis such aserious fake. Itis expensive, too, toour country,, but "who cares for ex-penses?" Itisthe only free lunch in[France, for they donot do things that'way here. Treating is unknown, 'andthis is wholesale treating. Tho Frenchmale and female, regard it with sus-picion and approach the. lunch counterwith fear.
