He is at present liv ing at Grants Pass, Southern Oregon. The following extract is made: The nature of the many arti cles I write is varied. None of them are long. As a usual thing my stories nearly all relate to mines, or mining, as my home Is ia - a gld-prpducin- region, Lwhere nuggets are gathered in stead of potatoes o beans. Gold-strikes and rich 'discoveries are frequent, and .for this reason news ia plentiful. Ail the time possible is spent at the mines and with the miners, where ideas float about as profusely as per fume ia a garden of roses. The roagh-clad and big-hearted pros pectors, ,lpooket-hnaters,,r gold seokers, miners ef all classes, fur nish me with subjects. . I study them and theif . modes, customs and methods of work, as I da a book.
