it back up, and it was a skookum tum-tum I was 
going to start with. 
Mrs. Gier roasted a chicken for my Thanks 
giving dinner, for Thursday was the day, anc 
I wanted something good to eat. I had cleanec 
my four quail, and intended to have a quai 
potpie the next day; and I did, and I tell you 
that after rowing all day I had an appetite te 
eat it, too. They told me that I could not make 
it to Yuma in less than five days, and they 
thought I would be six. John had been dowt 
and his sister had been down many times. J] 
left with their good wishes early Tuesday morn- 
ing, rowing very steady. John had _ said that 
when I got to Eronberg I would be nearly hali 
way. I got to Eronberg before noon the seconc 
day. Here I saw quite a number of miners whe 
told me they were mining in the mountain: 
twelve miles distant, and they hauled their wate 
from there. They wanted I should go visit their 
mines and I promised to do so if I had ar| 
opportunity when I came back. I made good 
headway that afternoon and got in sight of 
Chimney Rock, and that evening had a fine view| 
of it. By land it was twenty-five miles from 
Yuma, but by water it was over fifty. 
That night I camped near a beaver house. I 
heard them several times in the night. They 
came near where my boat was drawn up and 
I heard them slap the water with their tails 
Thursday morning the wind was blowing down 
stream, but the river was so crooked that it 
would be blowing up when I made the next| 
short bend. 
A little before sunset I thought I could hear 
a rumbling sound, and soon came in sight of 
the mill at Pecachos. There was a dance going 
on, and from the noise the miners must have 
been dancing with their heavy boots on. I 
camped about half a mile below the town. I 
had found the river about the same that it was 
above the Bill Williams fork. I had been see-| 
ing lots of wild geese, ducks, pelicans and! 
quail. At 11 o’clock Friday I thought I heard 
the rumbling of a train and heard a whistle. I 
thought it was a locomotive, but soon I saw it/ 
was a steamboat coming up to Pecachos. At 
2 o'clock I rounded the point where I could! 
see the steamboat landing at Yuma. I landed,) 
got an expressman to haul my dunnage uptown, |, 
and went to the hotel, where I took a bath,| 
changed my clothes, and was ready to take a} 
stroll around the hottest place in the United) 
States, according to tradition. I had made the) 
trip from the Needles in five and one-half days,| 
and I had not been bothered five minutes by 
being grounded on the sandbars. My boat had| 
not leaked a drop, and I could have gone on|, 
to the gulf had I cared to. Had there been! 
someone along to enjoy the trip with me it}, 
would have been one of the best outings I ever), 
had. I 
Next day I was back in Los Angeles, where|. 
my mining friends congratulated me on my suc-| 
cessful trip. I was there one day, then started | 
for Spokane. My ore assayed $45.51. I was |, 
at home but three days, then returned to the |; 
river of mud. But this time I had with mel. 
another miner who could enjoy the trip as well |;

DEAFNESS IN WHITE DOGS. i 
Apropos of the deafness of white cats with 
blue eyes, it is interesting to note that certain 
white dogs are deaf, says a writer to the New 
York Times. Many years ago the writer owned 
a perfectly white, highly-bred bulldog. This animal 
was stone deaf. The fact is familiar to dog 
fanciers that many finely bred “show” bulldogs 
and bull terriers, when pure white, are deaf. 
Such animals are known in the dog trade as |. 
“dummies,” and incautious and inexperienced r 
buyers are often imposed upon in paying high 
prices for dogs that are useless and unsatis- |; 
factory as pets for this reason.
