The Ontario Tunnel.

The owners OF the Ontario, Utah's great
mine are about starting a tunnel to run 5000

of helping to drain the mine. The shaft CT
the Ontario is now down 500 feet, and the
tunnel will strike the vein about 600 feet i.

the water. This will require Al expenditure
of about $225 900.

was cropping wildly with both hands III
mud and water. He felt greedily for the
hat, and meeting the outstretched hands
of the apologize Tiburce, took it and
felt within the lining, at first ass uredly,
and then rapidly and undecidedly. Then
with wild veil he was down on his
hands and knees in the mud and water
cropping wrist deep.
Watts the matter ?" cried Iiburce,
hugging the little parcel in his hand.
Surely of value-surely. Else why such
care of it, and why such cry of enraged
despair at losing it?
John Jones made no reply, but went
about on hands and knees in the mud,
still cropping.
What's the matter ?" cried Tiburce
again, touching him on the shoulder.
"Have you lost anything ?"
Lost ?" said John Jones, voiceless-
ly, "who can tell what 1 have lost -
and he groped on in the mud, while I'll
burce waited with signal patience. The
search came to nothing, but it went on
until the searcher's bones were numbed,
and until his hands could no longer feel
the ground he groped on. Then with
heavy heart he staggered to his feet.
"See," said Tiburce, pointing through
the heavy darkness, "there are lights.
That is the town. Have you found
what you have lost?
"With no answer, but with no sus-
picion, the stiff.set Briton splashed on
again through unseen mud. Once or
twice he gave n heavy and heartrending
groan, half of grief and half of rage.
"Surely," said Tiburce to himself,
Tightening the grip of his fingers on the
package, "surely valuable"
Splash, splash, for half an hour
through mud and darkness, and never a
spoken word. John Jones was thinking
all the way, and in bitter despair was
calling certain things to mind.

PATHS SONG.

Let the winds quarrel in id-air, together,
Let the rain deluge tie country and town;
He in my heart is the sunniest weather,
Whether the sky have a smile or a frown.
What if the tempest in anger be calling?
What If the dim clouds have hidden he sun?
What if the rain in torrent he falling?
Charley has wooed me, and Charley las won.
What DO / care for the lilacs or daisies.
Whether they burgeon, or whetherthey blow
While my heart voices III music his praises,
Little Of blossoms care or know.
Fairer is he to my eye than the roses.
Brighter his smile than the rays of the sun
Quick at his voicr my hearts portal uncloses-
Charley has wooed me, and Charley has won.
Earth has grown fairer the air has grown sweeter,
Ever since Charley his passion confessed;
All that he says is i'll musical metre,
All that he does is the wisest and best.
Flows to his soul all my love and devotion,
As to the ocean the swift rivers run
Joy thrills my heart to its core with emotion
Charley Las wooed me, and Charley has won.

of travel on foot three and thirty miles

to live in the meantime. Total funds,
two and threepence-halfpenny. Four-
pence halfpenny per diem and a half
penny to spare He drank his glass of
beer and walked into the street again.
Bullet-headed, square-set, with hon

Huuting for q Port.
Is. T. Dulleti1.l

| ". Gs DuiCtAusl
A British ship came into port
three or four days ago with cargo
destined for Wilmington. The
Captain had consulted his charts
and knew that the particular port
was close to Point Pedro. Hailing
a pilot he told him to lay him as
near to Wilmington as ne could.
"But," said the pilot, "Wilming-
ton Is about 45O miles from this
place" The Captain said he knew
better. His ship was going to
Wilmington, ,Or as near to that port
as he could get. There was
Point Pedro, and Wilmington was
known to he close to that headland.
The pilot stoutly insisted that the
port mentioned was In the southern
part of the State, and advised the
Captain to put about and make for
that point, 450 miles distant. The
Captain knew what he was about,
and hailing n tug, ordered the mas.
ter to hay him a. near to Whining. :.
ton as be could, pointing out the
supposed place near San Pedro
headland. "But 1 can't tow you to
Wilmington" said the tug master.
ut is more than two days sail from
here" "Now, hold on, you lub.
ber," said the Captain, laying
out his chart, "lhat is Point
Pedro, and Wilmington is close
by. There Is where I want
to discharge" BY the time the
parley was ended the ship was over
the bar and headed for this city.
Just as the anchor was dropped the
Captain concluded that he might
be mistaken. There was another
Point Pedro and just as likely as
not Wilmington was down there.
The master recovered his wind Just
as the sailors were about to leave
the ship. and got under way as soon
as tide. wind, pilots and tug. boats
could help him out. That little
mistrke in navigation will proba-
