With the aid of a large map, Rev.

Mr. Miner next joined in the rush to Powder River, Goose Lake and the John Day Valley, where wages were $6 per day and flour $40 per hundred.
Mrs. Miner to join her husband who was west, traveled alone from New York, via Nicaragua to San Francisco. On her way up the coast she was robbed, but a gentleman paid her fare from Frisco to Grande Island, near Sacramento, where her husband was working.
