PoZT Or Nora WIERC N1/ Ae5HE4<S WIL4 BE LAiD LTH-OUGllI Joaquin Miller, "the poet of the Sierras," so far recovered from a recent illness which threatened to prove fatal that he was able to return with his wife and daughter to his home on the heights overlook Ing Oakland and San Francisco bay, yet his friends entertain little hope that he will ever be fully restored to health. He is now in his seventieth year. Previous to his last illness he had been separated from his wife for thirty years, but the danger of his death happily reunited them, and now the aged poet is spending the re mainder of his days amid his well be loved hills, on the spot where he has createdi a characteristic home, called The Heights. Il[s massive frame has Weakened, his once keen eyes are dim, his flowing hair and beard are white, and the physicians who have climbed the wooded hills to minister to him declare there is little if any hope-that it is merely a matter of a few weeks when Joaquin Miller will have been gathered to his fathers. Ills ashes, according to his wish, will be scattered to the winds from the pyre in the hills back of The Heights, which marks the last resting place of his daughter, Maud, who died several years ago. The reunion with his wife may prolong his days, and the care that his other daughter, Juanita, be stows upon him may build up his with ered strength a little, but there is hardly more than a shell for them to nurse. Perhaps no more picturesque ilgure is extant. in the literary history of California and the west than Jbaquin Miller. Ile is a distinct type, seem ingly insepmarable from the envilron meat in which he has lived these twenty years or morec. lie has gathm eredl inspiration from the rolling green hills, from the ruddy sunsets, from the blue Pacific wvater-s, from the fog banks that roll in with the night fall, from the vista of land and sea as seen from his cyr-ic on 'The I [eights, from the Glolden Gate and the shadowy ships5 that sail through it inito the rim of the horizon and are lost in the vapor's pail. lie has been, perIhalps, too familiar to the residents of 'Oakland and neighboring suburbs to cr-eate the in terest that he would if he should sud1 dJenly appear ini seome eastern city cladl in his high top beets, bucaksk(in clothing and wide hi limmed sombrero, with his curly hair flowing from he neath its br1im. i~ven to this day,- or perhaps it should be saidl up to the time of his illness, Joaquin Mlillier retained his grace and commanding aspect, lie has liv'ed munch out of doors andl has been brow~ned by suns. With his own hands he has planted the hutndlred(s of trees that surround the little collec tion of houses, the chapel and the funeral pyr'e, which constitute The I [eights. A few years ago the poet's umothmer died at the age of ninety. The're was a strikingly beaut ifuli attachment be tween the Iwo, and1( since her deathi the dlecline has set in which is the basis of his piresent illness.

Well, you must come to Oaklannd; and do you want to see Oakland and San Francisco and the bay of all bays on the globe, and the Golden (Gate, at a glance and all together'? Thon you lunust go two m'iles to the northeast and then half a mile perpendicular. In short, you must come to Tihe Heights, to the camp wvherie Fr'emont tented half a century ago, and to the spot from which he viewed andl named the now famous Golden Gate, long be fore gold was found."

He practiced unsuccess fully in Idaho and turned express messenger. In 1862, he settled in Ore gon and became editor of "The Eu gene City Democratic Register," which wits suppressed in the same year. in 1864 Miller returned to the law and practiced in Canyon City, Ore. Here he became popular, owing to his serv ices against the warlike Snake In dians, and from 1866 to 1870 served as a judge in Grant county. ills first important at tempt. tit writing were made here, and he tried to sell a collection of his poems un dler the title of "Songs of the Sierras" in the east.
