There are said to be between four and five thousand people here, all but about twelve hundred of them being visitors; The latter are mostly women and children, the rising generation predeminating by ‘a big majority. The little shavers are under your feet whichever way youturn. Ihad thought Grass Valley the banner town ' of the Coast in the number of children to the square foot, but since I came here I have put this place at the head of the list. — Fond mothers who have tried it declare this to be the Utopian resort to bring their hopefuls to for an outing. They dress their little girls up in boys’ clothes, put any old thing on the boys, then turn them loose in the sand and surf of the beach tofrisk and cavort alli the livelong-day. They get brown of skin and bard of flesh, and eat like farm hands. ~ Grown people came to get away from ;hot weather, for recreation, or to view -the scenery, and sometimes for all three purposes combined. The best-evidence that they think they get their money's ‘worth is that they come back year after year. -There’s another attraction ‘ity’ of ying the thi “gavay: of them, and ‘that is that Mt rete mid the Qrove is 4 sort of a head-center for religinus abd temperance: organizations, Meces for the godly—a combination of there was a code'of what worldy people called Puritanical and fanatical laws to keep; the denizens in check. But in 6;:ite of theee laws more and more peopie continued to come each’ season, attracted by the combination of climate and surf-bathing and scenery which they had looked for elsewhere in vain, 2 city with beautiful homes 5% fering the wide paved steets, scores of fine business blocks,a number o! stately church edifices, electric lights, splended water and sewerage systems, ‘street’ cars and: other evidences of 2 substantial and ambitious community, are here now. And with the passing of the tenta'the straight laced notions of the pioneer government have giver ‘place to broader ideas, and now the Worldly-minded come and mingles -w) th the devout and enjoys his stay to tthe, fullest. measure. There is nota -galoon in the city and all business is .gsaspended of Sundays; while there is « vananimity of opinion among residents -aud_visitors that the town is all th« ibetter for off for these reasons, some of the beet citizens see no harm .in oc: casionally brightening up their beautiful homes with a whist party or an invitation hop. Of course there is a cartain element that endeavors to frown down such “follies,” but its frowns are Natarally: more. or less cranks find their way here each season, but as a rale they are of the harmless class and little or no attention is paid to their coming or going, Some, of them are cranky on religion, some on temper@ace, others on dress, aud ge on to the end of the chapter. There is the woman who apes the man’s dreas above _ the waist, and the man who lets his; hair grow down ver his shoulders like @ woman.. There is the loug-faced old girl with corkscrew curls, and the loquacious young female from Stanford who wears spe sdys sarcastic thin :s, ha’ a contempt for and distrusi of men, avd thinks she knows it all. Between ‘hem and me and the other haman freaks in evidence, we offer an ~“fateresting variety of subjects to the student of human nature. Taere is no other place like this for the study of ‘anatomy. You go down on the beash during the Jast three hours of the afternoon to pursag this . . Tbvanch {o the best advantage. There's . . @ dash and ingenugasness about the ' Pacific Grove maid or matron that is) as refreshing and inspireting as the breezes: that whistle through the _dorests roundabout.

They receive sojourners cordi{ally and treat them squarely. Store prices are as low as in San Francisco. An excellent meal at a restaurant costs only two bite, and board at the El Curmelo Hotel, which is quite @ pretentious seaside caravansary and is moderately well conducted, can be had for $10 a week or at good private boarding houses for considerable less. There are hundreds of pretty little cottages with flower gardeus, all farnished for housekeeping, and most of them in 4 cleanly condition. Those with two beds, and nearly all the comforts ofa home for four persons who for $20 or $25 month when there are any tospare. At this time of the year the demand exceeds the supply. There are some exceptionally pretty. places With superior equipments that cost as much as $75 a month. The only robbers are the liverymen, It doesn’t cost much more than half as much to keep horses here as it does in Nevada City, but carriage hire here is. greater than there. A stable at this place and another at Del Monte have a monopoly of the private road called the seventeen-mile drive, and the protesting public must kow-tow to them or keep off the drive. To be sure, they will take you around cheap enough—a dollar a head—if you go in one. of their busses er carryalls with ‘a crowd, but if you want an exclusive rig for asmall party you have to pay more for it than is.asked at any other place 1 know of. The seventeen mile drive isn’t the only adjacent attraction; however. You }Can go in the morning to Carmel Mismiles kway, in any of a dozen vehicles that run out there regularly, stay all day, and come back towards evening, all for fifty cents apiece. Then there’s superb Del Monte and quaint Monterey, both reached by the same street car for ten-cent round-trip ticket. There are sundry other points of interest within walking distance of here, such as Point Pinos Light House, Abalone Beach, Moss Beach, Lover’s Point and the like, any one of which you can make a day’s delightful trip to. In my judgment the visitor who finds it dull work putting in a week or a month at ‘people are in the habit of coming here for. from what I can see and hear, this is. even. more desirable as a winter resort thanus a sammer resort, although so far about all the’ people have been . docking here in sammer instead of in, winter. There are several reasons why {think they make a mistake in doing so, the main one being that while the summer months are more or less foggy and there is a pretty stiff wind in exposed points at times, the sun shines from a cloudless'sky most of, the winter and the air is balmy. As things go now, the town has all its bustle and ousiness in the month of July, August and September, and for the rest of the year it is as “dead as adoor-nail.” The sot stand empty, the store-keepers reduce their help and other expenses, the street-cars run empty and the town falls asleep to be awakened in che sweet bye and bye.

Special to the Daruy TaancsaiPrt. [ Destructive Fire, ANGELS Camp, August 17—The great Utica mine is on fire. Flame and smoke were discovered issuing from athe 800 level at 4 o'clock this morning. ‘The different shifts escaped, but six miners ‘were cut off and had to make their way out by the new shaft in the south end. It is supposed that the fire was caused by spontaneous combustion from lard oil and kerosene. It is impossible to estimate the probable loss, but it will probably amount to several hundred thousand dollars, and the fected, as there are 1000 men employed in the Utica group of mines, ; Efforts are being made to quench the fire by bulkheading the shafts, in which work several men were overcome from suffocation. The mine is also being flooded with 3000 inches of water, an eight-inch hose running into the Stickle shaft, where the first started. It will require four days to flood the mine and two months to pamp it out again. The last big fire at the Utica was on July 21, 1895, dut it is believed this will be more disastrous. At that time it required seven weeks to pump out the mine. Secured No Plunder, Topeka, Kansas, August 17—B. J. Lewis, Assistant General Manager of the Santa Fe Railroad, says the men who held up a passenger train near Edmond, in Oklahoma, last night, got no money. Two or three men crawled over the tender and covering thé engineer ordered him to stop ‘at the next crossing. . He obeyed and at the crossing four or five more men appeared and began firing to intimidate the passengers. The robbers went to the express car and ordered the messenger to open the safe, but this he could not do, as it was a through safe from Kansas City to Galveston. They tried to blow it open with dynamite, but failed, and soon afterwards ordered the engineer to go ahead. The passengers were. not molested, and the train was delayed about 80 minutes. Silver Mines Closing, Ipaxo Speinas, Col, August 17.—On account of the decline in the price of silver the -Lumartine mine has discharged its force of mep working on silver lodes.

This is a camp, over 1500 men here, including three troops of cavalry, one of which is the regulars. All the indications point to a very pleasaut and successful encampment. Each company has their own cooks, being in this respect independent of the others, and this arrangement is more satisfactory than the old way of having the cooking forthe whole regiment done at one place and under the same management. The. guard house is just in front of Company O’s line of tents, so the boys will seem right at home when captured ranning the lines) ‘The members have had a good time thus far.
