PIacers.

Gold mining and gold hunting in North
America have always been of a twofold char
acter. First have come the placer miners
those In search of the poor mans mine,''
q mine that takes only q few dollars to work.
With his pan and shovel, his pickax and SCOOP,
the placer miner wonders over the face Of the
earth, prospecting for some rich mine that
holds its precious products on the surface
Where some mountain stream has coursed
down the granite sides Of the hills; or washed
looks for signs Of god. The erosion of the
rocks by the running water is natures method
of unlocking the rich mineral from the bow
els Of the earth. and gradually quantities OF
the yellow metal are piled up at the bottom
Of some pool gulch. Here the wandering
placer miner applies his knowledge. and tests
the contents Of the sand and earth. The min
ers travel in pairs, and every stream and
brook, every ditch and pool Of water, must be
examined as they journey across the trail,ess
mountain sides. The work is difficult and the
returns generally scanty and inadequate: but
the dream Of finding a rich placer mine lures
the men on and ever onward, until they finally
leave their bones to bleach on some lonely
rail or at the bottom Of some inaccessible ra-
vine.-Harper's Weekly.

all Europeans, had fallen victim to an
assassin within the borders of their coun-
try. They Immediately arranged to hold
an extraordinary federal council ON Sun

measures to take against the assassin.
Ihe latter must be tried according to the
statutes of the Canton in which the
crime was committed, which forbid CAPT.

be imposed.
When the Austrian minister, Count

with expressions of the deepest sympathy.

ranged, the minister started for Geneva
