For twenty-eight yearS-1S59 to 1887 this writer was a resident of Trinity county and we'll knew it's every nook and cranny, every mine and every miners child.

A 000S pocket. While this is the largesr pocket ever found in that section, it is far from being the only one. We have in mind several such pockets-though smalle, which were found in our day, and so far as we nov renen per the finders in the end went broke looking for more and larger ones. They are simply scratch fnds- unusually broad smiles of the God ot Fortune-and can only he lkened unto the drawing of a capital prize in lottery.

4 Question for StooBmeu.

The patrons of no other industry are more dependent on each other for suc- cess than are the men who engage Tn cattle-raising on the open range In bovine race is subject, their cattle are ex- posed to tine ravages of wild beasts and the persistent depredations of stock thieves. Cattlemen, therefore, owe it to each other to discountenance and report every case of crooked work which comes under their notice and to follow every clue which is discovered. Probably the most unwise practice of which stockmen are sometimes guilty is that ot employing cow.h hands of doubtful or notoriously bad reputation. A man who knowingly harbors a thief and thereby enables him to gain a foot-hold in the country cannot be held blameless if this rustler after ward forages on his and his neigh bor's herds. The idea that, if a cowboy of questionable honesty owns no cattle he can do no injury is an utter tallacy. Birds of a feather instinctively recognize each other and no great lapse of time Is re- quired for the would-be thief to find a willing receiver for his stolen chaftels. The continued retention by cattle owners of COW hands who are either actual thieves or in open sympathy with stock thieves and highwaymen is one of the most serious obstacles in the way oI checking crooked work on the range Why not boycott the thieves ?-Range News

Several years ago, when the govern ment colonized herd of Siberian rein deer in the lower Yukon reglon of Alas. ka, there were people who rldiculed the experiment as involving useless expense from which no substantial benefit could be derived. Recent events in that coun- try, however, render it likely that the reindeer may prove of incalculable value both to the government and to the pros pectors now focking to the Yukon re zion. The herd has prospered, and now numbers 1 ,00O or more. The postal au thorites propose to use a part of the reindeer for carrying the mails-a serv- ice for which they are admirably adapt ed. It is also proposed to sell some oi them, to be employed in transportation. The government could readily spare several hundred of them for this purpose. and still have enough left to insure g rapid increase of the herd It would not be surprising if these reindeer were tc play an important part in Alaskan af fairs.-San Diego Union.
