WHY HOWARD CAME BACK. He Would Rather Winter in San Francisco Than at St. Michael. San Francisco, September 19th. Epiror Transcript: I date this letter San Francisco instead of “On the Yukon,” as I had hoped when I mailed the last from St. Michael. The barge and tug, which Harriman & Mills (the company who sent out the expedition), sent to carry the party up the Yukon were almost useless for such purpose. The tug drew too much water and the barge was not large enough to carry one-half of the party and their supplies, so rather than remain at St. Michael for nine months I took a berth on the steamer South Coast to Port Townsend, then on the Walla Walla for this city: _ On the beach at St. Michael were over 100 men and about 125 tons of “grub,” and no prospect of reaching their destination before next June or July. The men were becoming desperate and the use of rope was freely talked of.Your correspondent with others of-. fered $35 apiece tor passage to Daw‘. !son City, their supplies to go along. This meant 12's vents per pound for the supplies and $100 for fare. This offer was refused by both companies doing business at St. Michael. I shall build a steamer of my own and start again in the early spring. J.T. H. HAS PRODUCED $900,000 Work to Be Resumed at the Famous Old Eagle Bird. The Eagle Bird or Diamond D mine of Maybert, which produced $900,000 in twelve years but on which very little work has been done for several years, is to be started up again.

Last year an eastern company that had a bond tried to connect these levels with a winze, and miscalculating missed the connection. This fact and the general bad management of the property while it was under their control discouraged them and they quit without accomplishing what they had set out to. ; BRIBE -MENTION.

WARRENSBURG, Mo., September 21.— Six days have elapsed since the young wife of Andy Still was abducted by the three drunken farmer boys—Hull, McKeehan and Jackson—yet no trace of her can be found. Feeling is-still.running high in Jefferson township, where the outrage was committed, and the conviction bas become. setiled that murder has been added to abduction and assault. Advices today say that the missing woman has not returned to Warsaw, which disproves the story of young Hill that’ she was placed on the train at Leeton, and sent to that place. All concerned are now un:ler arrest, but they stoutly deny any knowledge of the whereabouts of their victim.

When the schoolhouse is completed it will be the largest in the northern central part of the State, and it will also be one of the best built and most. completely equipped. \ Principal ©’Neill and some of the teachers are agitating a proposition to formally dedicate the building when the new front portion is completed and just before the seats are put in place. They want to have a regular old-fashioned house-warming, and invite the whole country to come and enjoy it without money and without price. There will, if their plan meets with the approval of the Board of Education as it is most likely to do, be speeches and music and dancing, and an allround good time for old aud young. The thirteen big class rooms, together with the labratory, library, Principal’s office and other rooms from garret to cellar will be lighted up and thrown open for the inspection of the hundreds of citizens who will take advantage of the opportunity to have a good time aad combine business with the pleasure by seeing what they have been given for their money. WHY HOWARD CAME BACK. He Would Rather Winter in San Francisco Than at St. Michael. San Francisco, September 19th. Epiror Transcript: I date this letter San Francisco instead of “On the Yukon,” as I had hoped when I mailed the last from St. Michael. The barge and tug, which Harriman & Mills (the company who sent out the expedition), sent to carry the party up the Yukon were almost useless for such purpose. The tug drew too much water and the barge was not large enough to carry one-half of the party and their supplies, so rather than remain at St. Michael for nine months I took a berth on the steamer South Coast to Port Townsend, then on the Walla Walla for this city: _ On the beach at St. Michael were over 100 men and about 125 tons of “grub,” and no prospect of reaching their destination before next June or July. The men were becoming desperate and the use of rope was freely talked of.Your correspondent with others of-. fered $35 apiece tor passage to Daw‘. !son City, their supplies to go along. This meant 12's vents per pound for the supplies and $100 for fare. This offer was refused by both companies doing business at St. Michael. I shall build a steamer of my own and start again in the early spring. J.T. H. HAS PRODUCED $900,000 Work to Be Resumed at the Famous Old Eagle Bird.
