CHURCH UNDER AN OPEN SKY pr n Evangelist, Who Settled On Griffin Creek Opens a Church and Sunday School In Huge Grove Last Sun day 46 Settlers Attended. ONE TREE DOES WORK OF MANY Forty Trees Arc Pollcnlzcd by Buds on One and Splendid Crop Will Be Harvested Frost Hit the Others In Griffin Creek Orchard. NEVADA EXPERT ETO HER MN E Uncle in (ho woods on upper Grif fin creek nu evangelist has appeared in llio form of Frank Stuart, for merly of Kansas. This locality hardly had a settler until this )nt year, being the homo of n few wood haulors but mainly ft recourse for hunters and wandering prospectors. Knrly this spring, however, families have, wended their wny up the moun tainous road with their household belongings and settled in the little draws which nro found along the creek. Ono of the new arrivals was Mr. Stuart of Kansas. Having had a hand nt prenching hack in the middle westoni states, he took advantage of tho opportunity afforded him of min istering to a flock in his new moun tainous home. Three Sundays ago the first service was held. For lack of a building the meeting was held in a grove on the top of the mountains in n spot known as the divide. This sjot was chosen because it afforded flu fiminl nmwtrf milt, V.. caIiIiim. .. both sides of tho divide attcndiii?P the services. Although it is hard to realize where they camo from, 40 I'wjiic luicnucu mo meeting new last Sunday. Roth Sunday school audi church arc included in the Sundav services, the Sunday school takinr place at 2 o'clock, tho "meeting' fob lowing it. In order to avoid conf'tal in nanio with the Griffin creek church which is held in the Griffir creek school house tho mountaineers decided to call theirs the Bar Creek church. Bar creek is ft tributary ereek which joins tho main stream about seven and n half miles from Modford. The Bar creek church has sent for pamphlets, Sunday school papers and song books which they expect by next Sunday. From then on n standing invitation is offered by tho church to nil the people of the valley when they desire a real day " Because the pollen-bearing tassels of one tree in Dr. Geary's Munll lng lish walnut grove on Griffin creek was protected from the heavy freeze tin's spring by Miuidgu fire." a heavy crop of nuts ha set on all the trees. Although the frost did not bother the fruit blossoms in the Griffin creek locality on account of its high elevation and excellent air drainage, the walnut tnssels with the exception of the one tree which hr.ppened to be just below a row of pear trees which wero smudged, were all frozen black. But the pollen from the tas sels on the one tree fertilzed the fe male buds on the ot.ier 40 walnut trees in the grove. The crop will probably average a buhel to a tree. XOTICK.

Jack Mlnnls Arrives to Look Over Local Mining Field Leaves for Scene of Higglns and Brazilc Strikes. of worship, up where the sky is blue, the air pure,, where they may "lift their hends above the cloud".to at tend the servico held at 2 o'clock on tho divide. Mr. Stunrt has not only been a blessing to the community in his min isterial work, but has started a movement to gain a school. During tho past winter, bound in by snow for weeks, the long three mile tramp down to the Griffin creek school was im possible for children of a tender age and accordingly most of them have little training. Gil ANTS PASS May 2!. Jack Mlnnls, luluiiiK man of Nevada, and who arrived In Grants Pass ono week ago as a result of the gold strike on tho Digging property, left today with a companion bound for the scene of the Higglns strike, and thu ono made Friday last by llraxlle. Mr. Mlnnls will mako camp In that region. Ho will begin a vlgor- our search for mineral as soon as possible and there are those who know Mlnnls who believe that he will uncover something that will bo worth a sum In six figures. Jack Mlnnls Is widely known la tho western mining world. Ho was In the whirl of tho Goldfleld, Nevada, excitement and golden harvest In other western states; la Alaska for five years; and In Siberia, where he and seven other Americans wero nab bed and placed In "dungeon keep" by minions of the Car because they codld not produce passports. Mlnnls and the oilier American prisoners had crossed from the western Alaska shore to Siberia, and passports adorn ed with stilted language and red and yellow seals were not handy, and like all other soldiers of fortune or searchers for the golden fleece, they had scant respect for such things any how. Being Americans, the Russian officials looked on tho gold hunters with leniency, and other eight days behind tho bars the doors opened to freedom. ELY MAKES GREAT FLIGHT.
