AN HISTORIC Mp.

Meadow Lake, Calf, which has
such wonderful history, is Sit
uated about eleven miles north oi
Cisco, Calf. There still remains
portions of the old wagon road
which WAS hewn out OF the rock
during those palpy days. At one
time il was ,raversed by scores OF
freight wagons and several trips
made with S-horse IA passenger
stage coaches.
The place 10 now reached by a
trail, which crosses and recrosses
the old stage road many times.
In some places trees many inches
in diameter have grown up IN the
very ceuter of the long abandoned
road which is, however. in good
condition for the greater part OF
the distance, though in MANY pl ,oes
the stone walls have fallen. The
trip by stage to Meadow Lake must
have been . wild and fascinating
one.
A more picturesque spot than the
site of this once world famed min
ing town would be difficult to find,
while the lake itself is eDchantingly
beautiful. This body of water is
about half a mile in width and ex-
tends along this mountain meadow
distance of nearly four miles,
while surrounding the. lake is
tract of level land comprising 40
or so acres, the whole being almost
completely enclosed by tall and
rugged peaks.
Here at one time could be found
fine churches, theatres and dance
houses, school houses, saloons,
bakeries, breweries, banking hous-
es, hotels, a mining stock board in
daily session and a daily news
paper. The latter WIS established
with splendid plant by tramp

A ROrHSCHILD SCHEME.

that is already in coin. They now
propose to control it 10 the mines

The gold fields Of Transvasl will
this year yield s37,000,00G. This
is nearly three times what the
amount was in 1891. The Roths-

will be to deal with them when the

A MINERS LUCK.

-" "'"'AS W ANfW hC&tSo tct
a queer story which illustrate.
forcibly the miners belief in his
luck. A miner na0ed John Quin
cy Adams was prospecting some,
where in the mountains. While
YEARLY trudging along one hot day
through gulch where the sun had
"A good chance at his back, he sud-
denly sDeilcd smoke. The phenom
enon struck him as odd, and he
glanced quickly in every direction
to ascertain the origin OF the
smoke, but seeing nothing resumed
his journey.
A moment later the smell re-.
turned, stronger than ever, and the
breeze just then blowing in the
direction in which he was walking,
a light wreath of vapor curied about
his ears and gave him to understand
that his haversack was on fire.
Like all miners, he carried large
lens for the purpose Of examining
the specimens and the sand in his
pan, aud the truth flashed upon
him. For want OF room he had
hung the glass on the outside, and
the rays of the sun had been con-
ceptrated on his havorsack, which
was thus set on fire. Az among
its contents we're IL or I5 pounds
OF powder, he lost NO time in drop
ping the dangerous burden aud
getting as far away as possible be-
fore it exploded.
The haversack fell between two
huge stones and cuddled down out
OF sight. Adams soon reached safe
distance and disconsolately watched
the smoke arising from his sole
worldly possessions. Suddenly
there was deafenlng report. The
ground trembled, and Adams
lodged behind huge stone to es
cape the fragments Of flying rock.
Rising, he went to the spot to
gather up what he could find,
when his eyes almost started out
of his head at seeing the quartz
that had bsen blown up fairly
glittering with gold.
His powder had done better on
it's own account than il had ever
done on his, aud had literally blown
open a gold mine for his benefit.
He was made a rich man in an in-
slant, and named his mine the

Dolcoath, one of the mines OF
Cornwall, has been worked so
long that even tradition does not
give the date of the opening. Pri.
or to 1888 the product was mostly
copper aud it is said equalled over
$l0,000,0o0 in value. For some
years it was abandoned, but in
1899 the present company was
formed, aud the dividends to date
have amounted to $5,000,000. The
mine is now down to the 1850
foot level, and gives employment
to 1900 men.

Jurisdiction OF Federal Courts -
A contest bet yeen mining claims
necessarily involves consideration
of the laws OF the United States.
These laws prescribe how the
location shall be- made, aad the
effect of end lines and side lines
Oh the rights to the mineral veins
and fodes. The eyidence by which
these things ars proved, whether
direct or through the estoppel of
some act of the party. or by a
Judgment of a court. does not re
move consideration of the laws as
elements of decision. The motion
to remand must be based upon the
petition for removal and the record |
as sent from the State court II
the petition in connection with the
record is sufficient OF it's face, but
states as ground of removal, facts
which are not true, as for example,
In regard to citizenship or value,
an issue may be taken in the cir
cult court by plea in the nature
Of plea in abatement, But clti-
zenship and value have no other
purpose than to fix the tribunal.
The case 10 its progress. or the
Judgment, does not depend upon
them. The Supreme Court says,
The question OF citizenship con-
,titutes no part of the issue upon
the merits" The same may he
said of valpe, so far as fixed jrris-
liction.
But a law of Congress, upon
which, as factor 10 decision,
party's rights depend, determines,
N copjunctions with the facts, the
Judgment to be rendered. The

LOW WAGES OF GERMANY.

A fter an exhaustive examination
of wages paid in the large manu-.
featuring establishm ments in Lux
emburg, which pays about the ssne
as paid in other parts OF Germany,
George II Murphy, United States
Vice Commercial Agent there,
transmits to the State Department
report on the wages paid ia the
steel and iron industries, with a
general view OF the whole subject
OF German wages.
He finds that, generally speaking,
the average earnings OF ordinary
workmen amount to less than $500
per annum. Women earn about
half as much as men. The average
wages of miners and foundry hands
is l>ss than 81 per day. The sal
aries OF primary school teachers
are 1924 for males and $40 for
females.
"A large majority Of The employ
es OF the Government earn lees

other hand, still speaking generally,

You as a preacher will have greater
influence with church members than
others. You can show them that the
platforms and principles of the Peo-

with true religion. l admire your
broad, liberal spirit that breathes forth
when you state that you will from now
on work with the Peoples party, al
though you can not fully indorse every
thing the convention and administra-
tion has done. Undoubtedly the Peo-

ent hope for reform.
