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.

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.
