$50 miners went to the Victor mlue

Relocation of Abandoned Lodes.
The laws Of the state OF Colora-
do contain provisions relative to
the relocation in whole or in part
of abandoned .odes, and also as to,
the making and filling of amended
location certificates under certain
circumstances. The several pro-
visions OF the Colorado statutes
are as follows:
"Sec. 1852. The relocation OF
abandoned lode claims shall be by
sinking new discovery shaft and
fixing new boundaries in the same
manner as il 1t were the location Of
a new claim; or the locator may
sink the original discovery shaft
10 feet deeper than it was at the
abandonment, and srect new, or
adopt the old boundaries, reaew-
ing the posts IL removed or de-
streyed. In either case new
location stake shall be erected. In
any case, whether the whole or
part o. an abandoned lode is taken,
the location certificate may state
the whole or a part OF the new
location is located as abandoned
property.
Sec. 1850. If at any time the
locater of any mining claim hers-
tofore or hereafter located, or his
assigns, spprehsnd that his origi-
nal certificate was defective, srron-
eous, or that the requirements of
the law had net been complied

part of an overlapping claim which
has been aband oned, or any case

USES FOR OLD STREET CARS.

A Boston Man Starts Movement Which
Is Unlimited as to Possibilities.
While the huge traction corporation
which has gridironed the city with troll
ley wires was wondering if it would not
be the cheapest way to take the old cars
out by the shipload and dump them in
some place where they would not inter
fere with navigation a citizen stepped
in and bid $36 for them. His first
move after getting the cars was to put
one in the back yard Of friend and to
tell the children that they might use it
for playhouse. The children were in
ecstasies and sat up nights to use the
car. Other children came and peered
through the pickets Of the fence, and
went home and teased for street car.
The demand was created, and soon the
purveycr Of broken down street cars did
a rushing business.
Mothers found they could put their
small children inside, and shutting the
doors leave them with feeling Of Sc
curity. 1t was the cheapest way, too,
in many cases to provide shade. The
cars could be secured for $5 apiece, and
the first outlay was the last. So cars
were dragged by horses into back yards,
and the trucks removed from under

the ices appeared it took all the good
breeding of the guests to preserve un-
moved countenances. Somebody told
the tamest kind Of story, but every
body laughed as heartily as if each wo-
man had imbibed two quarts Of sparkling
champagne.
BY the time the guests left the table
they were all anxious to get away to
laugh, but as the hostess swept with
dignity into the reading room Of the
club she caught a glimpse Of herself in
glass.
Luckily for the ladies she happened to
be in a benignant mood, and a good
laugh soon cleared the atmosphere.
"What was the matter?" said a dress
maker who told the story. "Why,
haven't you heard? The very latest
dodge to give an airy appearance to the
sleeves is to bind the top Of the sleeve
firmly With rubber band, leaving only
a little space open large enough to in
sert pair of bellows between the two
inner Innings Of thin oiled silk. Then
the sleeve is properly blown up The
lady simply struck pin, and that was
the end Of her blown up sleeve. This is
a fact, and if you don't believe it I'll

E.atest Scheme to Make the Big Balloon

There is funny little story going the
rounds of certain feminine club ex-
clusively formed for sweet femininity.
Its name is never seen in the papers.
It is highly respectable, and it there
are differences Of opinion the members
happen to be altogether too ladylike to
discuss their club secrets outside the
clubhouse, which is in quiet side
street. It costs a pretty penny to belong
to this club and to enjoy the sanctity Of
it's clubhouse, and it's members are al
ways up to date and ahead Of American
dates Oh their frocks.
One member, who had just returned
with several trunks full of Partisan
frivols appeared at the club to entertain
guests at lunch few days ago with a
most extraordinary looking pair Of
sleeves to her stately silk gown. Several
of the members looked in surprise, be-
cause each had imagined that pair in
her own wardrobe at home was the only
sample of the kind in New York yet.
The sleeves were large. That wasn't
unusual They looked very full. Indeed
the article that came nearest resem-
bling them was a we'll filed balloon
about / a feet in diameter. Itlooked as
IL the silk would almost burst if a pin
should pierce it. When lunch was an
nounced, the lady with the sleeves led
the way to the private dining room,
followed by her guests. Now, it happen
ed that workmen had been in the club
house all the morning, putting in new
grill work and hangings, and the work
had not been finished when the lady,
going through doorway, stopped for a
second and leaned against the side Of
the hangings heavily before she passed
along.
AS the lunch progressed transforma-
Gon went on.
About the third course one Of the la
dies began to notice that her hostess
looked a trifle lopsided. By the time

that the new industry has been started
it is surprising how many uses are be-
ing found for these ancient conveyances.
At first they were thought of only as
playhouses.
One purchaser turns his new acquisi-
tion into henhouse. Another, who is
contractor, pays his men every Satur
day night from the door Of the old car.
One man fixed his up as a carpenter
shop for his boy, and one enterprising
old woman in Cambridge made all offer
for ten cars. Her idea was to wheel
them down to the seashore and convert
them into cottages and lighthouses, shift
ing their position with the tide. Her in
genious scheme, however, was thwarted
by the refusal of the owners Of the beach
to sell her land for the purpose. Now
that the ball has been set rolling next
summer may see the introduction of
"house cars for the campers out, pic
nickers and excursionists. "-Boston

Sakhalin to Supplant Siberia
as a Convict Colony.
1T is TRULY DEATHS PARADISE
Siberia Too Good for COnvicts, So
They Are to Hse Sent to the East
ern Limit OF Russia's Possess
siOns ON the Pacific, ana Left
There to Die or Escape.

It has been decreed by the czar's gov
ernment that Siberia is too good for
con1icts, and as soon as the new trans
siberian railway has penetrated it's
gloomy depths it will be turned into a
'sparadise" for agricultural settlers and
mining sharps, while nihilists and other
refractory members Of Russian society
will in the future be accommodated on
the island Of Sakhalin, off the coast of
Russian Manchuria, the eastern ter1ni-
nus Of the czar's possessions, north of
Japan.
So horrible and revolving to civilized
nations is Sakhalin that the czar only
consented to it's adoption as an open air
prison after the assassination Of Carnot
and the discovery Of the recent plots
against his own life. The people and
the convicts Of Siberia never speak of
the island other than the hell Of SAX
halin," and it's climate is said to be SO
much worse than that Of Siberia as to
rob this appellation Of an exaggerated
character, even in the mouths Of these
lost ones.
Heretofore Sakhalin mas been pressed
into service as an open air prison only
in the most extreme cases, where CAPT
tai punishment, by degrees, Of course,
was intended. Now that the exigencies
of the great empire Of the north demand
the publication Of Siberia all sentenced
to deportation are carried off into the
hellish wilderness without reference to
the length of sentence, the nature of the
crime or offenses they were accused of,
without reference to sex or former stat
Us in society. The governor Of Man
ckuria has reported that a human being
not born on the island cannot live more
than year there. There is no means Of
escape except in winter, when if pris
oner can manage to make his way 100
miles north form the prison it is posi-
BILE to reach the mainland over the ice.
The ice bridge is guarded. Still two or
three prisoners have escaped by dodging
behind masses Of snow and ice, or, what
is far more probable, by bribing Off
cials.
At the present moment the most in
teresting colonist Of Sakhalin is Sophia
Bluhstein. She first achieved criminal
renown by pressing her attentions upon
the shah of Persia during the latter's
visit to st. Petersburg. Sophia had
avowedly no intention Of adding his maj
esty to her list Of admirers, but sought
his acquaintance merely for the purpose
of relieving him: if possible, of some Of
his diamonds. She was foiled in her ef-
forts, but succeeded in having her pri-
vate car attached to the shah's special
train. For this piece Of enterprise she
was banished to Siberia for year and
while there organized a band of cut
throats and robbers, whose services she
controlled on the continent after their
terms had expired She is said to be
the sharpest criminal living, and in
sending her to Sakhalin the Russian
government claims to have conferred a
lasting benefit upon the wealthy classes.

He Had Designs on George Gou1ds Roll,
but Put Up With Smaller Game.
''The last time I went to Europe"
said an editorial friend Of mine, II
went in very distinguished company.
Among my fellow passengers were
George Gould and family, Widener, FL
kins and Yerkes, the street railway mil
ionaires, and I don't know how many
more rich men.
"On the second day out there was the
usual drift Of fellows of sporting pro-
clivities toward the smoking room, and
very soon several games were going on.
A very gentlemanly person who was
looking on like myself asked me if l
ever played poker. T. said, Yes, now
and then, if the stakes were small.
After a little further conversation we
found three other men, took a table and
began to play dollar limit game Some
of them wanted to make the limit high
er, but was firm, and we kept it down.
We played pretty much all day, and
then again at night without any very
big hands or any great variation in luck.
Finally, however, I struck big hand,
and so did my gentlemanly FRIEND who
was indeed quite the most agreeable man
at the table. We backed our hands for
all they were worth, and perhaps in
my case for more, for I lost. The same
thing happened several times, and the
result was that, small as the game was,
I got up from the table $50 out of pock-
ct. The next day we played again, but
1ifa s,,
and finally we gave it up.
"The matter had almost passed out Of
my mind when the man who had won
my money came to me one day as we,
were nearing the other side and said:
"'I think ought to give that money
back to YOU
"'I don't see why, said T. If had
won your money, I should have taken
it.
"'Yes, but this is different
How different? don t understand.
"'Well, the fact is, I don't mind
telling you that am professional.
Well, if had known that, I don't
think I would have played with you.
But il you won my money fairly keep
it,
" That's just it, he said. Here is
your money. You are not the sort of
game am after. rang in a cold deck
on you during deal, and I am one Of
the few that can do it.
'Then he went on to tell me after |
had taken the money that he had come
abroad expressly to pluck George Gould
or one Of the street railway magnates,
but had given up the job THE fact is,
he said rich men nowadays are not
like they used to be. So soon as a man
gets big pot of money he does all his
gambling in stocks or grain. Sometimes
we get hold of a sucker that has come
into a fortune by luck, and he is good
game, but that sort is getting scarcer
every day. Don't give me away until I
