perts who made such a thorough examina-
ton of the Golden Gate mine, and also
with Captain J. R. DeLamar's represen-
tatives in this city, left for the east
last night. and it is the belief that he
will either meet Captain DeLamar in
New York or IN London when the pro-
posed sale of this great boannza property
will assume some definite shape. II
is possible that Mr.. Smith may stop on
at Cripple Creek, Colo, for he is expected
there, but his stay there will be brief, as
it is generally understood that the Roths-
childs' option in the Golden Gate expires
on July LIST. Henry Bratuober, Mr.
Smiths representative, is still in the city
and he viii probably remain here until
the result of the negotiations between the
English syndicate and Captain DeLamaI
are aScertained.

Who OF those who have not heard
this old puzzle before can solve it?
The answer win be given in two or
three days.
A traveller carried a cabbage. and
led along wolf and goat until he
came TO a river with a ferry cross
Il.
There, however. he found the ferry
boat so small that IL would only hold
himself and the cabbage, or himself
and one of the animals.
AS long as he. was near the goat or
wolf all was well, but IL he left them
by themselves for n moment the wolf
would eat the goat, or the goat would
eat the cabbage.
He was thus In dilemma, fox II
seemed impossible to cross the river
without either losing the cabbage or
the goat. How did he manage 1t?

A Giant Oak In California That Hung
Forty Men

FOrft Wen.
There Is in California. in caIaveras
county, tree from which forty men
have been hanged.
Hangman's oak. as 1t is called. is on
n level tract Of land close to the side
of the old road between Milton and
CopperopoliR. Ii is naturally one of
the most famous monuments of that
part of the country.
The tree stands by the roadside and
great branch stretches over the high
way, brown and bare, save for little
clnmp of foliage at it's end.
According TO the San Francisco Call
when the tree first sprang into fame
Stockton was known TO the miners as
Tuleville, and the hills around Copper
opolis were filled with camps that bore
musical names, such as Ragtown or
Whisky Chute. The tree was an old
one then. SO that Ii must by this time
have seen nearly century of life.
There WAS no more ceremony attend
ing an execution on the Hangmans
Oak than was gone through with In
other parts of the state nj about the
same time. The culprit was taken to
the spot in the handiest way Some
times in a wagon and at others he was
compelled TO sustain his balance on
the soft side OF rail carried ON the
shoulders of the eXecutioners. When
the spot WAS reached the man who
was to be made TO shuttle or was
placed on the end OF a wagon with
rope around his neck, one end of which
was fastened 10 the limb above his
head. Sometimes when they wanted
TO give man a good drop" he was
made TO stand on a box or oairel
placed on the end of the wagon.
The most famous crop which the
.'banGman's tree has ever ,,osne was
reaped in the early iifiies. On this &C.
casion man had been execu. ID lust
as a party OF friends, who believed
him innocent. came up TO resccc him.
A fierce fight ensued and he r.ssc,iing
party being the best shots, zane eff
victorious.
Twenty men shed their blood IN this
day. AT the end of the fight iiye of tie
hanging party who executed the first
man were left alive. they su-ren-
dered and asked for mercy. but were
not given IL. and In less than five min
uies their bodies were swinging beside
that OF their victim Fourteen ccad
bodies strewed the ground around the
tree. AT least a dozen fights Of This
kind have taken place benea u The Old
tree. and people say the ground is
soaked with blood"

back on the rudder of the steamer City
Of Bangor. says the Belfast Journal
They took Deorow's double-ender and
rowed out TO the steamer as she lay ut
the wharf, made the skiff fast to the
rudder irons and climbed upon the rud-
der for a quiet, but exciting ride.
They were warned of their danger by the
people on the wharf, and ordered off by
the officers On the wharf, but fortified
their nerves by a drink from a Sbottle
and held on. Soon after the steamer
started the skiff broke adrift and was
picked up by some boys who were out in
boat. When off Condon's shore the
berth OF these two passengers became de-
cldedly moist aE well as dangerous, and
they begged to be taken on board. A
ladder and rope were let down to them
ana they We're taken on board wetter,
Wiser and soberer men than when they
starred. The general verdict of thoEe who
Witnessed the performance was that an
application of shoe leather on landing
Uhein at Northport would be punish
ment to fit the crime.
