afInterest 20 Miners.

In the matter of an application for a
patent to a mining claim in Sacramento
California, Secretary Teller has decided
that when a mineral applicant enters q
claim pursuant to the legal requirement
such claim thereupon ceases to be part o.
tba nnblic domain, and is no longer sub
iect to the operation Of the laws governing
the disposition Of public lands; that in
snch case there is part performance OF the
contract on sale, which entities the entry
man to q specific performance of the whole
contract without further action on MS
part; that the right to a patent once Ves.,

ticnous locations, who seeks q patent
must present separate applicationsfor each
and obtain a separate survey and prove
that mon each the required work had beer
performed, is wholly untenable.

. Painful, II Not serioas. Accident.

. =
Shortly after dinner Yesterday Uncle
Joe Gill, IN old Ruby Hill miner, who is
tributing in the Dunderberg mine, was at
work on his pitch getting out some quartz
and soft ore when a rock weighing over a
ton cayed upon him. 1t struck him, first
barely catching his back and then struck
heavily on his left hip. which it dislocated.
His partner. James Bergman, fastened to
the spot, the ''wet Wine" situated be-
tween the 800 aud 400 levels OF the mine,
where he found Uncle Joe. Bergman, in
the excitement Of the moment, and with
almost supernatural strength, partly lifted
the rock and relieved the victim in a meas.
urs from his painful situation. Uncle Joe
nov begged bergman to get m men to
sssist him, and the latter soon found Frank
Gregg and William Bone. who were near
at hand, and by the united efforts OF
the three the old man WAS o rescued
from his painful. II not perilous~ situation.
He had to be got down some distance
through q hole, which Ia hardly large
enough for q we'll man to crawl through.
but this was accomplished. and the injured
man was conveyed 10 his cabin where he
was cared for by his companions until the
arrival Of DR.. Hagar, who made his
patient as comfortable as possible. DR..
Hagar called into consultation DIR. Will
lams, and they proceeded to put the
limb back in its place which was soon &C
complished. AT last accounts the patient
was resting easy.

Its Rooms in New York and the
Men Who Go There-HOw the GAR
field Memorial Fund went -
There.
The Washington correspondent Of an
Eastern journal, writing under date of
May Is, says: An old army officer is
authority for the prediction that the Swain
Court of Inquiry will lead to an investiga-
don Of affairs connected with the Army
Poker Club of that city, which will ulti-
mately result in the dismissal from the
service of quite a number of prominent
officers. Said this officer: "Rooms have
been maintained by the Army Poker Club
at the corner Of Fifteenth street and New
York Avenue for several years. Efforts
| have been made to keep the matter secret,
| but the membership has been so very large
| that the fact of its existence has crept out
| and spread all over the army and the
sporting portion Of Congress. In fact, not
q few members of Congress are members OF
| the club, besides gentlemen holding prom
inent positions in the departments and
| other branches of the Government. I am
| told that vast sums of money have been
lost in these rooms, and that there are
members Of the army who have been COM
| PEELED to give notes for table stakes until
they were indebted to the banker of the

TOM THUMB.
One of the Smallest Infants o.
RecOrd-A I2.Year.Old Mother.

One Of the Smallest Infants ON
Record-A 2 Year-Old Mother.
On the 9th Of May last, a second Tom
Thumb was born to a young girl in Moraga
Valley, in Contra Costa county, California,
who rivals in size any Of the pigmies who
have made their appearance in this mum
dane sphere.
In the above named valley, about Is
miles from this city, there lives a Portu-
guese family named Augustine. The family
consists of the father, Joseph. a farmer by
occupation, the mother and eight children.
four boys and four girls. Among the latter
is Lauriana, a child of twelve years.
On the Goth Of May the family all went
TO Napa, except Lauriana, who stayed at
home, to be present ct the wedding of the
Oldest daughter. The next day, Tuesday,
May 9th, Lauriana was taken suddenly i'll,
and some of the neighbors were called.
there being no doctor within many miles.
To the surprise of all the twelve-year-old
child gave birth to a perfectly formed min
iature baby boy. The little fellow measured
about five and a half inches and weighed
only one and . quarter pounds. but it was
as lively a specimen of the human family as
one would wish to see. The little stranger
soon became an object Of interest in the
valley, and people came from all directions
to see him and hear him cry, an accomplish
ment he is as proficient in as any larger
baby.
On the return Of the family their as
constituent and grief N account Of their
daughters disgrace can hardly be ex-
pressed. The child mother refused, and
still refuses, to tell who is the father of the
boy, and all the Investigations by her father
have so far proved fruitless.
The little mother is as proud Of the baby
as q girl with a new doll would be. The
infant is usually graded in q ten-inch
starch box, cut down, that affords plenty
of room for one 80 small.
The child mother is as much an OBJ
ject of interest as the boy himself is.
Heretofore she has been running around in
short dresses. She Is very small in stature
weighing only about 80 pounds. Though
by no means simple minded she is in every
way q mere child, and does not seem to
realize her disgrace. Both mother and
child are doing quite we'll.
A gentleman who came over from Mo-
raga Valley yesterday, said that though the
baby is now twelve days old he is q healthy
little fellow and appears more like an ami
mated doll that cries, than a real, live, six
inch, one and q half pound human baby.

sigh OF satisfaction. and murmured:
,"shad is the sweetest fish that swims, but

being of quick temper, got mad and told
him that he belonged to a pretty family,
as his brother had given him the secret

prove it. They were produced and found
to be genuine, stamped with the seal of the
