Some California Mines.
Mr. H. H. Kreger, now in business at
Randsburg, Cal., sends the Gasette an
interesting description of the mines in
the Great Alojave desert. Lack of space
makes it impossible to publish the letter
in full. Randsburg is located in the
foothills in the eastern part of Kern
county, in the center of the Rand dis
trict, about 200 mil?s from Los Angeles.
Stage companies' run from two to lour
coaches daily from the latter city and
from Kramer. Hotel accommodations
are good. The hastily built shinties and
tents are rapidly being replaced by more
substantial buildings. ' ' r-
The first mines discovered were the
Rand, Olympus, Trilby and Yellow Aster,
now called the the "Rand group" and
are situated one-half mile west of town.
There are a number of other mines at the
edge of town or within a short distance.
The Kiug Eo'.oniou is producing good
milling ore at a depth of 60 feet, while
the Val Verdi is down over 100 feet and
produces milling ore paying from 30 to
$50 per ton, with a parallel lead ten feet
wide which pays over f$o per ton. The
Wcdffe, J. I. C, Excelsior, Butte and
Ken you have very good ore and experi
enced mining men believe much richer
ore will be found at a depth of several
huudred feet.
The St. Elmo is capitalized at $2,500,-
000. A ten-stamp mill and cyanide
Ttauip will be placed on this property.
' At present there is sufficient labor in
the district, but there is room and plenty
of it for capital. Then there are men
who held claims, without, means, who
will sell or give part of their holdings
for improvements. Everything within
reach has been staked off. There is no
question in my mind as to the future
prosperity of the Rand mining district.
Mr. Kreger closes with some good ad
vice: " Now a word to my old friends
and neighbors. Don't come here with
the idea that yon can get 3.00 a day for
eight hours work, locate a mine or pick
up chunks of gold. Yon may do one
or Mt bat there are big chances.that you
will do none."

Pa Had a Gun.
San Francisco papers report a roman
tic escapade of Oliver N. William.',
formerly of Corvallis, and better known
in sporting circles. It seems he arrived
at a small California town with a young
woman, where he registered at a hotel as
man and wife. He obtained employ
ment at the house as waiter. In a few
days an older gentlemen came iuto the
burg with a shot gun and took his station
in front of the hotel. He claimed to be
a mine owner from southern Oregon and
the father of the girl, who he said, was
not married, to Williams. The hotel
man persuaded him to yield np his gun
and the father and the lover met, when
the latter promised to marry the girl.
But when he found a chance he skipped
to another town, where the old gentle
men, with his gun, quickly followed.
fter a stern chase Williams was again
cornered, and finally accompanied the
father back to where the girl was staying,
where .the marriage took place. -The
father w said to be quite wealthy, aud
willing to provide for the young couple.

Commencement at Philomath'.
-: -The commencement exercises at
Philomath College, were held at
the camp grounds west of Philo
math Wednesday, June 30. The
graduating class being small, con
sisting of Miss Ethel Bradford
(normal) and Miss Grace Boles
(scientific), the publ'c rhetorical
class of tae college assisted with
the exercises ana the program
throughout was well received and
reflected credit upon both teachers
and pupils.
The exercises began with a pi
ano solo by Miss Gertie Sheak
and a song by the mule quartette.
Miss Ethel Bradford followed with
an oration, "What is it?" Show
ing that Christianity - had success
fully passed through six crises and
gave the reason lor each success
ive triumph.
O.V.White took for his sub
ject, '"Images of Stone." - He
sp ke of the progress of philos
ophy, claiming that our lives were
the images to be modi led with Hie
chisel and that adversity gave
them their polish.
Miss Gertrude Shi ak did ample
justice lo her fiibj-cl, "Beauties of
Nature," and tier theme was in
close accord with the enchanting
surroundings.
Mis Je$si Buoy in her oration
on The I'aiuled Stone," drew
ome very practical Kksohs lor
every day lile, showing the im
portance of contentment.
A duet was rend red by Mis es
Sheak aud Boles, and George Mc
Donald delivered an oration on
"Money and the Kingdom," his
central idea being the importance
of christian giving.'
. The class motto Vehrimus in
All inn" we art borne out on llie

thoughts ol Miss Grace Boles, as
