CALIFORNIA'S JEtt EMERPUISE.
The most extensive and costly miu
ing enterprise undertaken in this state
for ten years is now nearing comple
tion a few miles above Orovillp. in
Bntle comity. It is the work of He
Golden Ga!e Company, whicli will lift
the Feather river from its be-1 and
earn tbe whole vilnme of the stream
in an enormous flume for nearly a
mile. Work has been going on con
stantly with forces of men of 100 to
300 f.T eighteen months. The flume,
which lifts the river fifty feet ubove its
level, has been completed, but a huge
dam will have to be built across
the river. The main work of exposing
the bed of the river for a mile will
have to be deferred until next year.
The Feather nver is the richest
gold-bearing stream in California, and
it is estimated that the gravel iu the
river bed will jield over 500 per
linear foot This was the amount
realized by a company which worked
a small section of the river bed in Oro
ville, although they lost mnch gold
through poor appliances. With tho
perfect machinery thnt has been put
in experts claim that the mine should
jield nearly $8,000,000 for the 1,231,

TIE WORLD'S FAIR PLANS
Some of the Sjecial Feature! of tie
Exposition.
TEE GEEAT KARINE EXHIBIT.
Marked Attention Will Be Given
All Matte, s Pertaining to
Agricnltnre, Etc.
to
Tho leading features ot tho fair are
now developing into something like
intelligent order. Far from there be
ing Iho slightest disposition on the
part of the exposition directors to
slight or contract tho agricultural de
partment of the great show, there is n
decided determination to afford it all
tho room necessary, aud to givo
it especial prominence This viow
has been sustained smd strengthened
bj the expression of Prof. CL V. Riley,
of the agricultural department of tho
government On this subject 1io saa:
"The Columbia'! exposition will dif
fer from tho world's fairs of tho past
iu tho prominenco whioh naturally
must be given in this country to agri
cultural exhibits. In this department,
so intemsling alike to tho metropoli
tan citizen aud to the farmer, 1 would
not strivo to mako one monotonous
and continuous exhibit. In the six
mouths during which tho exposition
will bo opened to visitors many prod
ucts of trees, bush aud vino will suc
ceed one another in season. The
fruits and vegetables, which will bo
marketable in May when tho exposi
tion opens, will have given place to
other species in June, and so on,
through the six months' session. Tho
exhibits in all tho departments of ag
riculture aud horticulture should be
something more than tho amplifica
tion ot tho nvornge state agricultural
show, and should be as far as possible
educational rather than as an adver
tisement of resources. 33y this I mean
that statistics, methods and processes
of cullivatiug bhould all bo adequately
shown and fully illustrated."
A very keen interest is being taken
by tho horticulturists and florists of
the country in tho exhibit to be made
in their direction. They nro being
heard from constantly, uud all so fur
unite in tho opinion that an acre or eo
of space, as contemplated by tho class
ification committee, would be entirely
inadequate to the requirements of thi
most interesting section of tho great
show.
Tho great lake will afford its QwrJJ
peculiar ..innmpiis, uuequuieu m ins
program of all former world's cSpcsi-
tions. Tho marine exhibit will bo
something of a character never befoie
attempted or even thought possible.
The lake frontage makes possible a
remarkable naval and hydraulic dis
play in connection with tho govern
ment exhibit. It has been snggeated
that tne development or tuo ah muc . got clear of tho vessel all right, and
steamship service from the earliest was making ood headway whon the
vessels to the "ocean grev hounds of Volja's ore w saw him and went to the
the six days' passage would be an in- rescue. After some difficulty, Arm
stmctive exhibit, aud it is also bur- strong was fLhed out, and then came
cested that one of the smaller United i n fi-manii from thartVnf n, ;vW.
.. . .. - . . . , .- !
States ships of war, fully cqnipp5d and i
manned, might be secured, and tho
manning ot the yards and other
maneuvers of the crew would form a
very attractive feature to the lens of I
thousands of peojle who ueer saw a
war-ship.
Thechoru3 of 1,000 children pro
posed by Professor William L, Tom
lins to participate in tho ceremonies of
tho dedication in October, 1892, and
to give n series of performances dur
ing the progress of tho exposition in
1893 has been en thuiasticaUy received.
The executive committe of tho expo
sition directors has by formal resolu
tion heartily approved tho suggestion
and conveyed the thanks of the expo
sition officials to Professor Tomlins
for making it
The profession of architects goner
ally will be called upon for appropriate
designs for tho exposition buildiags
when the plan of exhibit or classifica
tion is approed and tho apportion
ment ot buildings on tho fair hite de
termined. Tho ground and buildings commit
tee will as soon as possible after
canvassiug tho various suggestions
about the scope and size of buddings
prepare a general circular and adver
tise for plans of thoso bnildings from
all the architects of the United States,

premiums for a plan of each building
they accept, whicli premium should

tho plans in any manner or form they
may see fit By this method they will
get hold of a great mauy original ideas
from different architects, each great in
ono specialty or in ono original idea,
and when all are grouped together
tho -wealth of suggestion afforded. will
give the commission the amplest op
portunity for appropriate Beclection.

The lot of an English skipper, who
ships sailors for deep sea voyages at
Porlland, is not a happy one, for in
most instances ho finds he has on
board a lot of green hands. Yester
day the' master of the British -bark
Nodillebum, which arrived down
from Portland with a fall crew on
board found that three of the men
who had been put on. board by Bunco
Kelly would do better on a farm than
on the topsail yards, but the men had
cost tho skipper a good round sum
each and he did not parpo3o letting
them .get away.
Thtfjnen, howeTer, three in num.
Jber, decided to come ashore. One
watched his chances and stole on
hnarr? tViA alAamai I?urf u?VJ1 nun
'lightering cargo into "tho ship, and
came ashoro. AnntW Altvrt
Armstrong by name, resorted
to more dancrerous methods.
Ho waited until about dusk when
the little steamer Volga was coming
along, and jumping into the river, be
gan swimming towards the shore. He
n - a !.
dleburu to briug the man on board.
but Captain Church turned a deaf ear
to the order and brought the man to
this city- Ou coming ashore he met
Officer Kirby, to whom he told' his
story, and the offioer took him to the
city prison fo dry out Deptfty United
States Marehal Smith was sent for,
and after hearing "Armstrong's state
ment, he took a boat and went to the
Noddfeburn, bring off another young
fellow, who was enticed on board by
false representation. Tho story of the
men is best told by Armstrong. He
said:
"Lost week Bunco Kelly, or one of
his men, camo to me and asked meif I
didn't want to go to sea, in a nico easy
job. He said. I was. to. got S30 a
month and the work was easy. I told
him I knew nothing about ii ship but
ho said that mado no difference, so I
went on board.
,4No, I never signed any : nrticloa.
When I got here I found that I was
to get only 3 $10 a month. Then I
decided to get ashore."
Sheriff Smith found matters- pretty
much as stated by Armstrong. He
mot with no resistance and brought
Armstrong's clothing ashoro with tho
other man. The faot that the men
wero put aboard the ship without hav
ing signed articles, and such is said to
be .the case, looks very bad and is
h'kely to get some one into trouble.

The Story of Her Life How She Won
The Ten Thousand Dollar
Prize for Beauty.
In the San Francisco Examiner of
Thursday appears a very interesting
story concerning; Miss Louise Mon
tague, who has been such a charming
and central figure this last week in
Portland at the Marquam Grand, in
the character of Prince Prettiwitz in
the play of tho "Crystal Slipper." It
is copied entire, and is as follews:
At tho cathedral fair last night a
charming young lady in black was
temporarily engaged in the flower
business. The test of her beauty is
that she had hard work to keop up
the supply of flowers. These are time3
of politics and not of peace, so every
known candidate of any stripe was out
for an evening of enjoyment, and they
all wore boutonnieres bought from
the pretty Miss Hurley. It wa3 whis
pered that besides selUng,flowers she
could, if she would, tell a story about
Louise Montagoe, and an Examiner
reporter asked her if. tho whisper was
true. 'in. & y
"Yea," Baid the younglady, after the
Exa m in er reporter had purchased a
fragrant gardenia also one black pin
"I have known Louise Montague
for six -weeks. Sho brought? letters to
me from1 friends $n-!few York, ancLI
iounu uer 10 oe a very,nice gin.. , one
was especially pleased.-whe'n; she
learned that; I am a Catholic-1" didn't
understand' why, at -firaL but? finally
one day she told me that her greatest
desire in life was to come into the
church.
TUB BTOBY. OF LOUISE'S; IJFE.
"After, that sho told me the story ot
her life. She has been on the stage a
number of years, but in 1888 she was
in Paris and met Mr. Morceau, who
makes pictures here now. She is very
fond ot church, music, and ouaday he
asked her to attend the church of the
Madeleine., The service thfcre, they
say, is as grand as it is in Rome, r and
Louise says that suddenly it seemed
to her that she ought to oo'me into the
church. jSho didn't like to ask .Mr.
Morceau, but afterwards a lady friend
introduced her to a priest in one ot the
smaller churohea there, and she had
several talks with that father on the
subject Still she, couldn't decide, but
he gave her a rosary and directed her
to say a number of prayers every day
that would, perhaps, bring her into
that condition of mind to make the
final resolve."
Miss Hurley went on to explain the
process of mind which finally brought
about Miss Montague's conversion.
THHBH ABE SINS OF THOUGHT
"When she spoke to me of her
greatest wish," said Mis3 Hurley, "I
said:
"Louise; there are sins of thought
as well as of deed. I know yoa are
worthy in the-last respect but in the
first Dartionlar -what nra vnn thinTr-
lng oi wnen you sit on your gilded
throne in the midst of admiration and
applause?' She answered me: 4I for
get everything, about -me; I simply
murmur. 4o myself repeatedly the
'Hail "Mary,' and it seems to blot out
ail tne rest.' "
Finally Miss Hurler, convinced nf
the real earnestness of her friend, went
to oneot the fathers at the Cathedral
and laid tho caso before him. Miss
Montague was subjeoted to a rigid
examination-on the condition ot her
reliorions feelincrfL, Thnn ria wnn
given the creed, tho catechism and tho
araoiea or raitn to study and ponder
over. Sho was an apt student, and in
a Week had nmvnrl thnfc en fnr ni flio
initiatory knowledge of the Catholic
reugton goes, sne was wortny or pro
motion. HER BAPTISM.
That the archbishop was appealed
to, and, after careful consultation, con
sented to administer the holy rites of
baptism and confirmation to the young
lady. t
The ceremony took place Saturday
morning. Miss Hurley was present
and acted as sponsor for Miss Mon
tague. The latter was very earnest in
her resppnses and "wept copiously aft
erward. w
Miss Louise Montague first became
famous. in? 1878,, -when Adam Fore
paugh, tho circus man, offered 510,000
to the most beautiful woman in the
country. Dozens of girls flocked to
New York to contend for the prize,
but Louise Montague was awarded
the money unanimously T)y tho judges.
She joined Fbrenaugh's oircus after
that, and was exhibited from Portland
to New Orleans as "Forepaugh's Cele
brated $10,000 Beauty."
Drifting into comic opera finally,
she won considerable applause in the
"Corsair" at the Broadway Theater in
1885. Since thin she .has anneared in
various traveling shows throughout

Twenty young men of "Williams and
vicinity went to the mountains recent
ly for a few weeks' recreation. They
pitched their oamp on the east side of
Snow mountain, where " Paradise
creek plunges, down the green-walled
mountain side, -while "they lured the
shy trout, the innocent deer and the
fierce bear from "their haunts irr the
unbroken mountain fastnesses. The
boys enjoyed the allurements of the
wildernessj and the wild game" fur
nished their, table with an abundance
of the most delicate viands. During
the evenings when all were about the
camp fire, they at various tines
paused in the telling of mirthful tales
thinking they had heard an intruding
footstep near the camp. At last, how
ever, in the middle of the' night when
all was still about the place and
wrapped in slumber, one of the young
men. was awakened by an unusual
noise, and upon opening his eyes his
vision rested for a minute on the face
of a strange man, whose beard and
hair were unkempt, hatless and in
tattered clothing. As soon as the
strange being found that he was ob
served he disappeared into the fast
ness of the jungle.
There -was no? more sleep fpr, the
young man, although he remained in
his bed. n about two hours the
strange figure returned, his long hair
floating-in the midnight breeze, his
chin almost resting upon his sunken
chest, his bony fingers bent like a cat's
Saw -when about to spring, and, from
is eye3 shone an unnatural light
Breathless did the young man, who had
the day before bravely faced an enraged
bear, watch the approaohing figurer
whose countenance looked ghost-like
in the light of tho moon. The strange
man approached the improvised table
of the camp, where meat and bread
from the lust meal remained, and he
ate'ravenously, more like a wild beast
than a human being. Presently the
young man saluted him with a friendly
greeting. Had an electric shook
passed through his system he could
not have acted more quiokly. la an
instant the wild man, for such he
really appeared, sprang up the almost
impossible mountan side as fleet as a
deer. Excited and hardly knowing
what he did, the young denizen of the
plains, who had conquered many a
fair heart and broken scores of frac
tious mules, sent a rifle ball in the di
rection of the departing man. Hardly
had tho smoke of the gun cleared
away whon great bowlders came roll
ing down the precipitous side of the
mountain, evidently loosened by the
wildbeing which, hod-passed up.
The boya 1 romr h'at" on. lost their
appetite for the juicy venison and del
icate front They only remained a
day or so after, but during that time
the strange figure was often seen
skulking near the camp like a wild an
imal, but invariably upon being dis
covered ho "would swiftly disappear
into the almost impenetrable jungle.
The description of this "wild man
of the hills" tallies exactly -with that
ot Sim Welling, who murdered Saf
ford near Willows three years ago. It
is presumed that it is the murderer
who escaped and went into the mount
ains, and that his crime, ever eating at
his mind, together with the loneliness
and hardships 'of suoh. a life, drove
bim insane. Orland Ual News.

Johnny Hope, son of Jimmy Hope,
the famous bank robber, waa reetoretV
to freedom this morning after serving
nine years, eight months and twenty
days of a twenty years' sentence im
posed upon him in July, 1879, for com
plicity in the robbery of liid
Manhattan Savings Institution, a
crime of which young Hope has all
along contended ;he waa innocent.
Hope served one year, eight month
and twenty-one days in the tombs be
fore coming here, ' , "
The pardon reached Warden Brush
thia morning; The official paper
signed by Governor HIH, took the-
lorm ot a commutation, which in that
case does not restore Hope to" citizen
ship, simply shortening his term by
ten years, tnree montns and ten days.
Upon the receipt of tbe paper War
den Brush went into the keerier'a
kitchen, where Johnny was employed-
donnny, JL've good news for you,':
said Brush. "Yout go out thi3 morn
ing. You are pardoned."
The news ot the pardon soon spread
and the first one to-grasp Hope's hand
v?aa Ferdinand Ward, the Napoleon ot
finance, whose little printing shop ad
joins the keepers kitchen.
"Now, I am a free man," said 'Hope
to a reporter, as -ho was leaving the
prison, "and I have nothing to gain,
when I tell youTl never rommitted the
crime for -which I served nearly ten
years. I was as innocent as a babe.
I wfll go to New-York to- see if there
ia any home for me. there,, and after
spending some time in that oity wfll
go to South America where my
father is engaged in the cattle busi
ness." It has been said that when Jimmy
Hoje was" besought to return the
Manhattan bonds he made his son's
(Johnny's)-liberty the price. Negotia
tions leading to the restoration of the"
bonds have been going on since Jim
my Hope, was Brought on from Cali
fornia, and it is understood that the
failure to holcL Jimmy here led the
Manhattan bankrpeopla -far finally ac

It is also said that InspectorByrnee
of New York after a long investiga
tion, -came to the' conclusion' that
young Hope -was innocent and applied
to the governor for his pardon 5. F

a man looses his religion he asks who
was. Cain's wife. Is it to be inferred
that the chief value of what Dr.
