knowing the character of the LaPrade
mine. and knowing that gold must ex
ist outside of that lone spot, has kept
watch over that locality until report
came to him that on the opposite side OF
the mountain from the LaPradc, dis-
tancc of three and half miles, there was
gold in large quantities. The Informant,
Coot Evans, told such wonderful story
that no attention was paid to the ,reporS
only TO remember what he had sad
Later, a story of similar character was
circulated which was accompanied oy

low metal. Without delay, W. +. Law

he found the gold existing in consldera

close together and running parallel with

IsAlian Sailor Boys.

In writing of his experience with Italian
seamen, Mr.. Keane gives them frst-rate
character but what will interest the reader
most is what he has to say OF the boys
among the crew. There were nine of
these on board from twelve to twenty-one
years OF age.
These young boys serve for period OF
seven years, beginning at pay OF shill-
ings a month, which is increased every
year until it becomes 8 shillings a month
in the last year of their apprenticeship.
They are brought upin an extremely hard
manner; only those who are in the last
year of their time are allowed to live be-
low. The other poor little wretches sleep
anywhere, two or three of them in the gall
ley during their watch below at night.
They have no proper mess; but the cook
used to give them great pan OF food
from the remnants of our mess and the
cabin. 1t was generally a mixture of
macaroni, boiled beans, boiled corn meal,
stock fish, olive oil, and scrapings from
every other dish OF the day.
The five youngest boys would find the
dryest place on deck, and then sit around
it, with one spoon among them all. Each
one would take one spoonful and hand
the spoon to his right-hand neighbOr; so
the spoon would 90 round until the food
all disappeared, each ono having taken
the same number of spOOnfuls.
