men boarded it, hurried into the coach

without having secured any booty.

Another in the Series Of Beautiful Lost
Mine stories.
The long-sought Frenchmen's gol6
mine in the Harqua Halas has been re-
discovered, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. The roads leading thereto
from Bonanza camp, thirty-fve miles
north, and from all points in the dis
trict, are black with prospectors,
mules, burros and packets Two sacks
of ore, worth seven hundred dollars,
were first found, then a couple Of old
and decayed pack saddles, and finally
the ore dump close to the mouth Of the
long-abandoned mine. The dump con.
tains enough rich ore to keep mill in
operation for many months, while on
entering the mine an enormous body is
exposed to view. Of all the famous
lost mines on the coast, none have been
more sought after. None have been
believed to be richer, and certainly
none were less mythical, for among the
old prospectors there was absolutely
no doubt of its existence.
Twenty-Five years ago three French,
men, whose names nobody remembers,
if anybody ever knew, set out from
Yuma in northeasterly direction. In
a few months they returned laden with
gold, which aroused the usual degree
of excitement produced in frontier
town by such an event. When the
Frenchmen left town the usual effort
was made to follow them, but, as
usual, the followers were eluded.
Again the Frenchmen returned, laden
as before with golden treasure, and
when they went away the pursuit was
renewed, with the former result. For
the third time the Frenchmen visited
Yuma, weighed down with gold, and
got away again unobserved in spite OF
the hungry vigilance of hundred gold
seekers. This time they left five thou
sand dollars worth of gold bullion
with W. S. Hooper, merchant Of
Yuma, and now manager Of the Occi-
dental hotel of San Francisco. De.
parting, they were never again seen al
Yuma. When the months rolled into q
year there was no doubt that they haG
been murdered by the Indians, and the
whole country was overrun in search
for their skeletons, for it seemed likely
that the marvellous mine could not be
far from their bones. Nothing was
ever found, and ten years ago the &C
tive search for the lost Frenchmen was
abandoned.
One Of the most earnest investigators
Of this golden secret was Kirkland
after whom Kirkland valley was
named. He remained with the old In
dams who hung about Halomas and
Yuma, but the only thing he evel
learned threw no light on the location
of the mine, but removed all doubt
concerning the fate of the Frenchmen
An Indian told him that they had beer
murdered, not wantonly, but because
they refused to take good advice. HI
said their gold digging was watched
with disfavor by the Indians, who KEEP
warning them to get out of the coun
try, and when they left for Yuma tn,
last time they were told that their re
turn would be attended by fatalities
They disregarded the information ant
came back with two other prospectors
The whole party were murdered.

HUMAN CULLlsILlTY.
Why Interfere with the Fools Who Enjoy
Being Fooled?


Belief in the magic arts is by no
means extinct in somo parts of France,
and from the department of the Pas de
Calais comes a curious story, says a
Paris correspondent. This time the in
dividual, who fgured in the police
court as having made various dupes
through his profcssed knowledge of
sorcery, was Goa chman, who, by some
peculiar process of reasoning, was re-
gardcd by the ignorant as past master
tins was girl who was extremely
anxious to be welded to the object of
her affections. The young man could
not be induced to come forward, so she
consulted the jehu, who told her that
she would be married in the beginning
of February. She put certain sum of
money down as an installment, and, al
though disappointed, was returning
with the remainder, when the police in
tervcned and arrested the jehu.
Another dupc was a married woman,
who wanted to ascertain whether she
had any chance Of obtaining divorce.
The cards were propitious, and she
chcerfully unloosed her purse strings,
but the divorce has not been pro-
nounced, nor is there any likelihood of
such termination to her troubles.
Great amusement, on the other hand,
was created by the deposition of ven
cradle dame, who declared that she
was delighted with the magician, as
he evictcd Gn evil spirit from her habit
alton. She had called on him with her
daughter and he had told them that
the house was bewitched. On receipt
of the sum of eighteen francs the
coachman paid her a visit, and after
shutting himself up in the stable for
ten minutes he emerged with the joyful
tidings that he had discovered "a fatal
toad, and had driven it off the prem
ises, From that moment, the old
woman declared, she had been at
| peace, and she wound up with the ex-
preston of her gratitude and of her
confidence in the great sorcerer. In an
swer to questions put to him the jehu
said that he had learned it all in a
little book that he had lost. There
were spells and incantations. Every
good Repeat one, said the presiding
Judge "But they are in Latin" the
man replied. "Nevcr mind; go on.
We shall understand all the same," ex-
claimed the Judge encouragingly. The
improvised magician, however, could
not get out word, but hung his head
amid roars Of laughter and soon after
ward he was sentenced to three
months imprisonment.

Some Chinese Names.

The Chinese are not entirely content
with the names which dwellers in
various lands have given to their coun-
tries, and in consequence they have In
vented names Of their own for them,
some of which are very apt and de-
scriptive. For instance, France Is
called "Fa-ko," the land of lawlessness;
Germany is "Te-lso," the virtuous
country; England is "Ting-ko," the
blooming land, and America is "Mei-
ko," the beautiful land.

Brooklyn, Jan. IS. In his strike de-
cision Justice Gaynor declares that
the conlpany's plea that 1t is by yio-
lence prevented from performing the
functions for which 1t Is crea Ted Is not
true. This corporation" the court
continues, ''has the right to get labor
as cheaply as 1T can, but IL may not
without violation Of law stop the rum
ming Of its cars to try to beat down
the price or the legal conditions of the
labor. 1t was and is it's duty TO run
It's ears at the best terms that 1t can
make for the day, being at full liberty
to supersede its employees gradually
from day TO day or all at once IL it
have men enough, at lower or better
terms. Its chief duty Is to run its cars
and all consideration Of private gain
to its stockholders must yield to that.
"There are being disputes in the
case as to some facts, and the law
makes it my duty to allow an alterna-
tive instead of a preemptory writ, but
though the command of the people BE-
less abrupt or preempiory III that
form, ii nevertheless is the peoples
command Let, therefore, an alterna-
tive writ Of mandamus in the name OF
the people Of the state Of New York
issue commanding the corporation to
resume the operation Of its road and
the accommodation Of the public as
fully and completely in all respects
as II was doing prior and up to Jann-
airy II, 1895"
The news of Judge Gaynor's deci-
sion was received with mixed feelings
at strikers headquarters. Master
Workman Connolly, says: ut might
just as well have been twenty years
as twenty days. Still, in certain
measure it is in our favor. We will
carry on the strike if it takes twenty
days or twenty years, and we will
fight it out"
