Superstitions of Mines.

In the gold mining districts of this
country there is a superstition that
the discoverers of great mines always
come to some violent end. 1t is SAID
the belief is founded on the fact that
the finders of forty of the richest
mines in the world have died III this
way, twelve being shot, three ingulfed
in their mines and the rest unaccount-
ably disappearing.
George H. Fryer of the Fryer Hill
mine committed suicide Two years
before his death he was worth NIL
lion, vet the authorities buried him.
The discoverer of the Standard mine
in California was killed by the In
dams; William Fairweather Of the
Alder Gulch mines came to his death
through riotous living. The owner of
the Homestake mines turned highway
man. He was shot dead.
John Horner of the Horner mine,
finding himself penniless, shot hlm,

Eureka" and "Nine-mile Clarks" We're

COLORADO'S BIC TUNNEL.
VIII Be Under Pixies Peak, and Be the
Largest Ever Constructed.

Largest Ever CONSTRUCTED.
Two gangs of workmen have just
begun digging in Colorado the longest
tunnel which man ever attempted to
construct. The main bore will be
twenty miles long, and connected with
this are subsidiary tunnels with
total length of thirty miles. SO, in
reality, the task that has been put
under way is that of digging fifty
miles of tunnels, and every foot of this
vast system will be under Pixies Peak
and the mountains that tower on each
side.
The starting point of the main
tunnel is at the foot Of the mountain
leading up to Pixies Peak, near tho
old town of Colorado City. This point
is but short distance from the rail.
roads which span the country between
Colorado Springs and Manitou. From
here it runs almost due southwest.
The further edge of the tunnel is at the
edge of the mountains at -Four Mile
Creek, over in Fremont county, Colo
RADIO, six miles south of Cripple Creeh
and near the little town of Sunol. Iwd
gangs of men, as stated, are working
at the tunnel, one at each end. Jusi
at present they are making progress a,
the rate of thirty feet day. 1t is be-
lieved that the mammoth task they
have undertaken will be completed In
seven years from the first of the pres
ent month.
The main tunnel will pass directly
under the cone of Pixies Peak at a
depth of nearly 1000 feet, and 27O0
feet beneath the town of Victor. Its
average depth from the surface will be
1000 feet, and it is designed to test
the mineral deposits of the territory
at these great depths. Thirty miles
of laterals are contemplated, and these
will pass underneath all the Cripple
Creek district at an average depth o'
$500 feet Cripple Creek, Victor,
Gillette, the various small towns and
thousand mines are to be made
tributary to this vast system.
Under present circumstances the
distance-the shortest way-from
Colorado Springs to Cripple Creek is
fifty-four miles. By way of the tunnel
the two cities will only be sixteen
miles apart. 1t is estimated by the
contractors that the average cost pei
foot of excavation will be $50. This
makes the total probable expense OF
digging the tunnel and its subsidiary
branches $40, $40, ,000.-Cripple Greek

Queen victoria's coronation Roll"

In the Century Florence Hayward
describes the official record that is
preserved on parchment roll OF
Queen Victoria's coronation. Miss
Hayward says: The Coronation
Rolf is wonderfully and curiously
complete. 1t sets down every detail
with minuteness and elaboration. The
Coronation Roll' of Queen Victoria
is like the rolls of all her predecessors
since the time of Richard ia huge,
bulky roll of parchment. 1t is what
the lawyers would call deed poll as
distinguished from an indenture. 1t
has its preambles and recitals and its
obligation, all of which are quantity
set out in stilted phrases on series
of pieces of sheepskin, each fifteen
inches wide, fastened together by
loose stitches, until the whole attain
the length of nearly one hundred
lineal feet. 1t can be perused only
by unrolling from one end or the
other, and it is so unwieldy that the
seeker for any information of which
the precise location is unknown must
invoke the aid of no end of manual
assistance to attain it. The script is
in the highest style of the scrivener's
art, and is an excellent example of the
engrossment that is still considered
necessary in England for wills and
deeds, which, as there is no general
system of publicly recording such in
struments, are keptin ''strong boxes"
under lock and key. Speaking gen.
orally, the result, as whole, is overa
hundred square feet of solid reading, in
one breath and in language that is a
mixture of legal, medieval, and court
phrases, but each line gives one o
glimpse not to be had otherwise of the
intricacy, dignity and significance OF
the coronation ceremony.

A SONG OF BLOSSOMS.

There is never a blossom that blooms for
Loves bosom
As sweet as my blossom my sweet;
And not in Gods skies any stars like her
eyes
Like the eyes of my blossom-my sweet!
Like her beautiful eyes, where my destiny
lies
All bright with the blue and the dew of
the skies
She is wonderful sweet-she is wonderful
wise
My beautiful blossom--my sweet
And not for the queens Of the loveljest
lands
Would | give her-my blossom, my sweet;
Not kiss OF her lips not clasp OF her
hands
For the loveliest lady you'd meet.
For the loveliest maid in whose honor
blade
Hath flashed where the battle made foe
men afraid;
Her lips to my own May Gods tempests
be stayed
For my blossom-my blossom-my sweet

81 will go where she is" said Mr..
Folliott ''Take me to her at once.
Poor little Oracle sat before the
kitchen fire, the meekest and palest
of Cinderellas, in an unconsciously
dropping attitude. Her dress was
worn and faded, her hair brushed back
in plain plait, her cheek transpar-
emily pale, and there was an expression
in her eyes, as they looked into the
red embers, that made Mr.. Folliott's
heart ache.
'T've not come any too soon," he
thought, and then he said aloud:
"Graciel Little Gracie!"
With a sudden cry she sprang to
her feet and ran sobbing into his
arms.
"Oh, take me away!' she exclaimed.
ooh, l am so miserable here!"
The old man looked at her, with
tears in his eyes.
81 have made mistake, Oracle, !"
said he. ''No man can do his duty by
proxy. l should have kept you my
self Never mind, little one; hence
forth you shall be all my own"
He turned to Bridget.
"Pack her Clothes" said he, "and
lose no time
Bridget started. "Are you going to
take her away, sir?" said she.
Mr.. Folliott nodded.
"And it's glad of it I am" said the
honest girl, ''for though it's weariful
lonesome / shall be without her, it's
no place for gentleman's daughter,

And when Mrs. Folliott and he1
daughters returned, tired and cross,
at two o'clock in the morning, there
was no patient Oracle to do the duties
of lady's maid to them. And note
from their rich relative on the tall
table explained the phenomenon.
Mrs. Folliott grew pale as she read
the curt words in which Cousin Paul
expressed his meaning.
"We shall never have a cent from
him again as long as we live" said
she.
But Oracle, secure in his parental
love, was happy, and when she looked
back over those New York days they
seemed like nothing but troubled
dream.

Anecaote of a Great Opera Singer.

The late Max Maretzek used to tel,
the following anecdote of Adelina
Patti: 81 remember once at the How
ard Atheneum, Boston, Nine. Barili
Patti, the mother of the Patti sisters,
sanl the part of Norma, with Amalia
Patti as Adelgisa, and Adelina, then a
little child, as one of the children OF
Norma. Adelina, always willful, in
sisted at rehearsal in singing the
music of her mother and sister in the
duo Mira Norma and when, after
several warnings, she would still con-
tinue to sing, her irascible mother
took her up and gave her regular
spanking before the eyes of the as
sembled orchestra and members of the
company. Now Adelina Patti gets
$4,000 night for singing.
''Adelina Patti made her first ap-
pearance in public under my direction
in concert at Tripler Hall, in Feb
ruary, 1852. She was then a child Of
nine years, and at that early age not
only gave evidence of her precocity in
vocalizing, but also in making bar
gains. The conditions on which she
agreed to sing there were hatful OF
candies, and she insisted on receiving
it before she went ont to appear before
the public, New York Tribune.

PIONEERING.

Songs for all pioneering
And all are pioneers,
All sailors from an anchorage
That fronts the tide of years,
And each man sails an ocean,
No other sailed before,
And each man flndeth for himself
An undiscovered shore.
Sail on across the morning,
Sail from beyond the night,
Sail forth and trust the eternal winds
To blow your bark Alright.
And every day shall greet you,
New phase of wave or breeze,
The moonlight on new headlands,
The sunlight ON new seas.
Still sail the tameless tanners,
The tanners of the seas.
Still sail the stout old sailors,
Who harness every breeze;
Still through the seas of darkness
By unknown winds are whirled
Proud brakes and old Magellans,
The girdlers of the world.
