To seek the coolness of the moun
tains, rest beneath the shade of the
grand firs, listen to the roaring,
rushing waters of middle fork, and,
I will add, in hopes of catching
some fish I nwd myself here. Alas,
I find the sun as hot as il is in the
valley and in order to keep thor
oughly cool one has to kep in the
shade in the middle of the dav. I
find that middle fork is so named
on account of its position, lying in
the center and being one of the three
forks which form Applegate. It
was worked some in an early day
only the bed of the st reauulvowever
and it only for a . distance of four
miles and a half from its mouth.
Above that point it has never been
properly prospected until this
spring. Think of it a stream with
out'even a trail along it until this
late day. Last spring Messrs.
Brooks, Steves and Wait started in
to open it up. They are still at it
and I think now the whole of the
icreek is claimed, as I'm told, by men
who will work it. The lower por
tion is composed of large bars and
while the owers are making a liv
ing they cannot work it properly cn
account of the heaviness of the
wash. It is a fine property for some
enterprising person or company to
take hold of and open up. A mile
and a quarter of wagon road, start
ing from Geo. Faucett's place, would
reach the first bar. The flats are
then continuous . and, from
what I gather from those I talked
with, a group of -seven or eight
claims with worlds of water, could
be got very reasonable. I have seen
three different characters of gold
course, fine, and that which shows
that it has come from porphyry.
While this is tributary to our valley
towns, it lies in California. We are
compelled to trade with the valley
towns both because of cheapness
and the fact that the Siskiyou range
starts everything'here in the direc
tion of Rogue river. :Further, in re

THAT TRAVELED FAR.
i AhrppJ from Aastraita
IkowvA at Small Profit.
The experamoKtcrf trunsportinir beef
.cattle aii re frenn Aaairmlia to London
has jnjA been aiaslc. and tthe result has
; jtem so Bneorwelnl -rthat -transportation
ef cattle on the Shoof -is .likely tstlbe-
come an important branct .of the ar
tying trade between those two lar-
distant point, yg the New Yock
World.
' iln the case referred :t seventeen
Australian oxen xvere received in good
-condition after a wovatre .of sixty-two
.days in duration and about 15,000 mile
'ai. length. At the first planec it secmt
inr.possible that cattle could tc trans--ported
this distance, iieing well enough
.fed in the meantime io keep .them in
-good condition, and jwt bring .a suffi
cient price to afford the stock raisers
-of the antipodes even the smallest mar
gin df profit. The (rores showicK the
amount of gain are thesefqre .cieeed
.iufjly interesting. .-
The Hive stock was purchased at
prices rarying from to t2MK a
Jead. Xbe transportatioa cost atsxoo
RCh, whdeh included fodder and cane.
Xi will be noticed that this charge fe
a0wcuaiaay ior tne entire voyage.
Oa their arrival at London the beasts
were disponed of at an average of t90 a
bead. As taeir average cost had been
about 123.30 In Australia, the trsnspor-
tatton charges would increase this to
nearly $S0 by the time they reached
London, which would bring the aver
age profit a head up to a little over 10.
or an aggregate of 170 for the trial
lot. . '
This is snfflcienUy . gratifying, but it
is hoped, when cattle are shipped in
greater numbers and the methods of
caring for them are perfected by ex
perience, that the cost of transporta
tion would be considerably lessened
and the profits, naturally, increased.
It was remarked in regard to these
seventeen cattle that they stood the
voyage finely and reached London in
much better condition than when they
left their Australian pastures. The
secret of success, it is said, lies prlnci
pally in feeding the cattle carefully yet
abundantly, and as they take no exer
cise they cannot help but put on flesh.

HE SPOKE OUT IN MEETING.
And
It Waa the Cnote In After Tear of
Another's Doing Llkewlno.
A pleucinj story of Ku'us King as a
young- man, told by one of his friends
to another many years ago, has re
cently been retold.
It seems that Mr. King, then a young
Jawycr in the practice of his profession
in Boston, had been detained over a
case which called him to Plymouth un
til late one Saturday evening. It way
necessnry that ho should be buck in
Boston Monday morning, so he mounted
his horse early on Sunday and began u
leisurely journey homeward.
After several hours' travel he came
to a plain little wooden building on
roadside kuull. through the doors and
windows of which, open to admit the
balmy air of summer, he could sec tin
assembled congregation apparently en
gaged in religious services.
Alighting, out of deference to the
day, Mr. King Quietly hitched his horse
to a tree, entered and sat down, ex
pecting to be presently edified by hymn
or sermon. Much to his surprise
neither was forthcoming, and he pres
ently perceived that he was attending
a Quaker meeting in a season when
the spirit did not - move, any of the
worthy brethren to discourse.
Dead silence prevailed and continued.
with no prospect of a break, as long as
the unexpected guest could endure it.
Then he rose in his place, and, without
explanation or introduction, delivered
an address upon suitable topics a
most excellent impromptu sermon, in
fact to which, good us it was in mat
ter, his manner, which was that of the
born orator, his youth, his dress of
"the world's people," his handsome
presence and the surprise of his auditors
lent still further effect.
He spoke 'for some twenty minutes
and then slipped out as unobtrusively
as he had entered, leaving behind him
an astonished and delighted congrega
tion and a mystery that employed the
tongues xf the vill::g gossips for months
to come.
It W3 ct length solvtil tj the sur
