How strangely tonight our memory ninSs
From the face Of the past the shadowy wings,
And We sec Ear back through the mis-, aud tears,
which make the recosd Of twenty yeats;
From the beautiful days In the Golden state,
When Life seemed taking lease of fate:
From the wondrous Visions Of" long ago"
To the naked shade that wec call now.
Those hslcyon days: there were four Of AZ then--
Ernest and Ned, wild Tom and Ben.
Now oil are gone; Tom was drst to die;
We held his hands, closed his glazed eye.
And many tear O'cr his grave We shed.
A wc tcnderiy powsi his curly hssd. .u
In the shadows deep ot the plnee that stand
Forever s''lemn, forever famed
By the winds that steal through the Golden Gate
Aud spread their balm O'cr the Golden State.
And the others too, they all arc dead.
BY the turbid Gils pershed Ned:
Brave. noble Ernest. he was lost
Amid Montanas Ice and frost:
Ard nennics life went out In gloom
Deep In the COmstOCk's vaults Of doom.
AID W. arc left, the last Of all,
And - tonight the cold snows fall.
And barbarous winds around W roar,
We think the long past Der and Ger:
What we have hoped and suffered. all
From the twenty years rolls hack the pail.
From the dusty, thorny, weary track,
A the tortuous path we follow back.
In our childhoods home they think ~. there, e.,

That our toll through heat through tempest aud Snow,
While It seemed for sahsbt hst,a portion ot pelf

Well, we'll. 10 our hair turns slowly TO snow.
The places Of childhood more distant grow.

We lived with Tom, Ned, Ernest and Be~. n'
And the mountains of earth scem dwindliny down

Fr0m the Mining Press.

An important decision mas recently been
rendered by the Commissioners of the Gen.
eral Land Office with regard to the title Of
mineral lands on those patented to the Cen.
,ral Pacific Railroad Company. People bad
in many instances already located mining
ground on some Of the sections, and other
parties who had purchased the land from
the railroad company found them in posses
sion. This naturally gave rise to disputes
As to priority OF title, which the Comm's-
sioncr decides 10 manner to show that .
possessory mining claim which existed at
the time the Government granted the land
to the railroad Company, can be patented
and the patent will hold good over any
given to the company, or conveyenccs made
by them to private parties. The decision.
which We append, will serve to put . stop
to further litigation: u.. 4,

GEO. D. HEBARD, ESQ;
DEAR SIR-The Railroad
Record, of Cincinnati, in its
issue of May 80, over the sig,
nature Of E. D. NJ, says: In
relation to what coal has done
for other places, on this head
we scarcely need say anything.
N othiug is so remarkable in
modern civilization as the
growth of manufactures by
the growth of coal produc-
tion, and the growth Of cities
and towns under its influence
ence is remarkable. One of
the greatest exhibitions o.
the power of coal is in the city
Of Philadel phia, which now has
population of 100000 people
of which it is safe to say 30O,-
600 are due to the coal trade
alone.
The Reading r. R. and the
Schuylkill canal brings down
to Philadelphia millions of tons
of anthracite coal, q large part
Of which is consumed in the
city, but a still larger part is
shipped to New England, New
York, and other countries.-
So enormous is this trade that
thousands of vessels are en-
ployed in it.
The future coal trade of
Cincinnati must soon consume
50,000,000 bushels Of coal, but
even that is small compared
with what may be, if Cincinna
ii or its vicinity, be made the
site of those immense'iron works
which the country needs. And
why should it notbeY In 1882
Cincinnati had scarcely begun
to use coal, In 1910 she be-
gan to use coal freely in her
manufactures, and for the next
10 years she grew with i'm
mense rapidity.
Subsequently the financial
explosion of 1857, the war and
reconstruction, coming down
to 1867, kept-the city back.
Enterprise has begun again,
and it only remains for Cincin>
natl to do two things, and she
will sweep ahead with power
and rapidity which no city Of
her magnitude ever did
These two things are, to con-
meet herself directly with the
South, and to avail herself of
the vast deposits of coal near
here"
