Recording n Claim.

A former resident of California tells
many amusing incidents of the people
of the mining district In which he lived
for some years. When person dis.
covers mineral vein, 1t Is the duty Of
the mining district recorder, at request,
to proceed upon the spot and record q
notice of the claim.
The recorder of one of the mining
districts, having to absent himself for a
short time, left as he thought, COM
petent deputy in his stead, charging
him particularly in recording any
''claim" to mention its distance from
some other Object, for future reference
and Identification.
On his return he found that his de-
putty had recorded only one claim dur
ing his absence, and that was graphi-
cally described as Located about three
hundred yards north of an old broken
wheel-barrow."

to think and work; but lie does, and
there is ample evidence In results
One of the secretary's friends and ad-
n,irers once said that Carlisle didn't
have to think; that he c0mprehended
great public questions without going
through tedious mental processes and
brought matters to wise conclusion
by the uncommon alertness of his brain.
His perceptive power, illustrated by the
amplitude of his eyebrows, is q tower
