An American actor who is travelling

patriotic as when l sailed out Of New York,
but really l must take off my hat to the
superb railroad system of carrying theatrical
troupes in England. We have been on tour
two or three months, and we have always
had two elegant carriages or cars entirely to
ourselves. These are not compartments, like
the ordinary English carriage, but saloon
carriages, with another for our star and her
maid. The roads make up these special
trains on Sunday for theatrical people only.
For instance, one troupe desires to go from
Birmingham to Manchester, another troupe
is booked from Birmingham to Derby, and
still another from Derby to Liverpool The
railroad makes up its special, takes the two
companies from Birmingham, drops one at
Derby, takes up the other there, and carries
the last to Liverpool. 1t is economical and
it is comfortable. This is going on all over
the kingdom on Sunday, and the Midland
carries immense number of travelling

feet further in the old tunnel and struck il

Der of bullion shipments, the last bar weigh

Should we read an occurrence of this
sort in distant region, hundreds of men
would be anxious to go to locality so
favored. Yet here it has attracted no
special attention. The same NAV be said
of the Bonanza claim, pocket mine in
Tuolumne county, whi' h has yielded very
largely Of late. In pocket mining there
are great chances to be taken, of course.
but If the chance is a lucky one, there is
great reward for labor. Doubtless MANY
others of the abandoned mines in the older

good fortune in living in region where
there are such golden possibilities Sierra

OBSERVATIONS ON WHIST.
What Is 1t That Constitutes Good Viii
PIavero

What Is 1t That Constitutes Good Whist
Player?
The game of whist lies SO close to human
nature that when we say of u man that he is
a good whist player we necessarily imply
that he is not only good fellow, but has
we'll balanced intellectual faculties. But
there are many persons who are dubbed good
whist players who do not deserve the title.
You hear Miss KS name mentioned ''Oh,
yes says some one, land such good whist
player, too" With the majority of people
the affairs of life are SO urgent that they
have not the time to devote to thorough
study of the game-and no one can master it
without devoting to it much time and atten-
tion
When, therefore, these people meet some
one who knows a few more rules than they
do, who occasionally disputes play ah,l who
carries about an air of confidence, iI.Imedi-
ately they exclaim, What a good whist
player!" Thus it is that many have reputa-
tions which they Go not deserve | once
played with a lady who insisted on playing
the highest card of suit first and who in.
yariably led from her weakest suit. When
the opportunity came | mildly demonstrated
and was snapped up for my pains, and shortly
afterward was informed that the lady was
considered one of the best players in the
small community in which she lived.
But what is it, then, that really constitutes
a good whist player! Not knowledge OF
rules, or, indeed, any amount of experience
although these are necessary, can of them
selves alone constitute a good whist player
One must have all the best qualities of 6
II, tod .cl-,
which makes good Frenchman; one must
have sense of humor which instantly per
ceives contrasts, together with the best judy
ment, which unites extremes. In brief, the
ability of good whist player is the ability
to rise above the battle field, to throw off the
petty annoyanccs and to be able to view in q
broad minded way large results. One mus;
be able to play his own hand, which he
knows, and the hand of his partner, which
he can but infer, just as if they We're one
He must be able, also, to view the hands OF
his opponents in the same broad way
But more than this he must be able to &C
conlmodate himself to his partners play, anC
to drop all rule if the occasion demands. Oh
the instant, and to be able to take it up as
quickly. This is where his knowledge of hui
man nature comes to the front, and this i.
where he leaves all rules and precedents anC
text books behind him. The plays which we
see illustrated in books are good to study
but they must necessarily suppose that eacf
player is q perfect hand As there are very
few perfect whist players, consequently the
good player must be guided in many cases by
his partners idea OF the game, and not hi.
own. Thus we will perceive, if we examine
the matter, that not every one who tries il
can make q good whist player.

The Jim Blaine Group.

The Jim Blaine group of mines, owned
by j. B. Fitzgerald and others, near Rocky
Bar, has been bonded to True w Rollins,
of Boston, Mass, for the sum of $50, coo,
the bond to run till the first day of June
next. Considering the immense groupings
in sight, that last summer yielded by mill
test over Sl1 per ton, and the fact that
these claims almost join the great Ophir
locations on the west, and the admirable
facilities afforded for working this noun
tain of free milling gold ore, the sum of
10000 is nothing compared to the value of
the Jim Blaine group. But the owners are
poor men, unable to erect reduction works,
and very sensibly propose to let go at the
above low price. There is sufficient SO
free-milling ore in sight along the crop
pings OF the Jim Blaine belt to keep 100
stamps running for years-to say nothing
of the prospective increase OF the ore value
as depth is attained. The Bulletin hopes to
see active and continuous mining opera
tions for miles along the Ophir lead early
the coming spring.-ELnore Bulletin.
