Have an old pair to wear under rubbers,

z A Cricketer's Kick.
A few days ago there appeared in this
paper what may be termed ''kick" from
the New Castle cricketers relative to the
proposed local cricket league The New
Castle club is considerably disappointed at
their not being counted in the circuit of the
proposed league, and they point out that
they were among the first to suggest such
an organization.
Doubtless there is great reason for the
novocastrian kick-that is, il the organizers
of the League intend to shut them out. To
my mind there is no sound reason at all
why the New Castle club should not be ad-
mitJed and other clubs also. II the idea Of
the promoters of the League is to run
little freside organization, cricket will be
more injured than by not having league
at all, and what is more, there will not be
two teams in the League at the end of July.
What is wanted are teams to come and
play here other than those we can see every
Saturday or holiday. If the League Is not
worth little sacrifice it is worth nothing,
and if individual pleasure is all that the
promoters are after, they had better wash
their hands of the League altogether. /
have all along thought that the organizing
of league was to boom cricket in Western
Pennsylvania and try to get a good foot
hold for it. But, apparently, have been
wrong in nv thinking.
If such clubs as that at New Castle are
admitted to the League they will cost the
organization nothing and 1 venture 10 say
that they will yield patronage that will
pay for the extra travelling. One thing
must be borne in mind, viz, that the mar
rover the limits of the league are the less
interest there will be in it.

stories. He worked until he had saved
$500 and then went to mining. He was
slight and weak, however, and he saw that
he could do less work in day than the
other miners could do in two hours, and
after he had made some little money he
quit and concluded to try to make a fortune
in other ways Provisions were then very
high in the mines Potatoes were worth 81
pound and hay was $500 ton.
Mules Made Him Lots of Money.
''It cost 81 a pound in freight to pack
goods on the backs of mules from the coas-
to the mines, and he turned his attention
to packing. Every mule load was worth
$500 in freight, and he made money very
fast. He then staked off good claim in
time they took out 500 day apiece. They
then decided to dam the Yuba river and
thus get at the gold in its bed.
"They had by this time each saved about
$1,000, and it took all of this to build the
dam. When the dam was about completed
big food came up and swept it away
and their $4,000 with 1t. AS the stream
went raging down the mountains it carried
nearly everything before it, and among
other things which passed before the eyes
of the young man was a sort of cradle for
the use of quicksilver in mining. FELTON,
caught hold of this and pulled it out, and
with it as his only capital he started life
again. He rigged up little reduction
establishment, got four or five men to work
for him, and was soon making several thou
sand dollars a month out of his quicksilver
machine. He speculated with the proceeds
in one way or another, and in short time
after this found himself at Sacramento, his
quicksilver money gone and himself prac-
tically broke"
