SHAMROCK AT ERIE BASIN.
Work Win Be Rushed Morning and
Night Till She Is in Shape.

New York, Oct. 17.--C. Oliver Iselin,
when seen by an Associated Press re-
porter after the Columbia had reached
her mornings, stated that he had moth
ing to say in regard to the Shamrock's
accident or the race. The Shamrock, as
she was being towed up to Erie Basin
was passed by a multitude of steam
craft. The story Of her misfortune was
evident to all as the crowds lined the
sides. One English outward bound
steamer dipped her colors in mournful
salute
Once in the Erie basin she was
warped to the end Of a pier next to an
army transport. The crew set to work
at once. The wreckage had been cleared
away before the ship left the course.
That was about all that could be done,
for the big topsail had been torn and
the standing rigging was all badly
wrenched. The tender Plymouth had the
men for this work, and she arrived
about p. m. with Mr.. Ratsey on board
No time was lost. The sailmakers were
set at their labors at once on the upper
deck of the Plymouth, while the riggers
went aboard.

An ORIGINAL RASCAL.

He HAS MA )E a GOOD LIVING BY FALLING FROM
ELECTRIC CARS AND COLLECTING DAMAGES
From The Boston Transcript.
Serving term for yagrancy in the House OF
Correction is a man who is likely to have I'VE
ly time Of il when he comes out again, as the
representatives Of some fifty street railways are
anxious to have HIM put away where ne can 40
no harm for some time 10 come, ana VIII make
every effort to that end. He is said TO be one of
the sharpest Of the tricksters who are always
trying to get ahead Of the railroad and railway
companies and so far as is known his method
Of operation is unique, and has probably netted
him a handsome income for some years
Probably his first appearance In the Immediate
vicinity Of Boston was about two months ago,
when he boarded Hough's Neck car on the
Quincy and Boston. He rode some little distance
and then attempted to get off but when he did
so the corner rail by which passengers hold In
descending from the car, came off In his hand,
and he fell heavily. He was picked UP In an In
sensible condition and carried to the offices OF
the company In Quincy, where he recovered
consciousness but was for some time apparently
out Of his head. He finally recovered conscious
ness and the claim agent Of the company AT
once called upon him to make settlement or
damages. The claim was at length adjusted for
$50, which the company gladly paid. as 1t was

apparently a case OF direct liability on their
part and the cost of taking the matter into
court would have been much larger.
About a week ago Mr.. Weeks. of the Quincy
and Boston, received letter from the manager
of the birmingham Street Railway asking
about the accident, and stating that one had oc-
CURED on their road which on comparison. was
found to have been exactly similar. Then all the
roads near Boston were communicated with. ana
ii found that on large proportion OF them
a man had recently been injured by the pulling
out OF the corner rail when he was getting OF
the car. The representatives of the Framing
ham company had the man arrested, and on WIS.,
ting his room the police found pair OF pliers
wound with rope, so that they could be carried
in the sleeve without slipping, a wrench, a
screWdriver and other tools, all bearing evidence
of having been used on hraSswork. When the
brought into court there were present
the representatives. of about twenty street rail-
ways in the vicinity of Boston. each OF whom
recognized the man as the victim of an "acci-
dent" on his line, due to the pulling out Of the
corner rail- but as there had been time to
prepare evidence against him he was committed
on the charge OF vagrancy.
His method of operation was apparently TO
board car, preferably on some suburban line,
and stand on the platform until the conductor
entered the car. when he would unfasten the
screws nuts holding the corner rail in place.
and soon after stop the car and do his little
character sketch Of falling off and becoming
unconscious and afterward delirious. He al
ways compromised for a comparatively small!
amount, thus preventing his name from being
brought before the public In court. and 10 make
things douby sure, always gave n different
name on every road. In this way he was able TO
victimize roads only a short distance apart and,
In fact on the day OF his arrest he had success
fully performed another accident on q road In
the same town.

OBSERVER.

Dr. Robert Morris, in Forest and Stream.
A few years ago in fisherman's nook IN Lon
don we were discussing the height TO which a
salmon could leap and an Englishman stated
tina, he had known salmon TO make clean leap
Of twenty feet perpendicuarly. This was ques-
toned by a Scotchman present, VINO SAID that
ne had been on many salmon river, and mad
never yet seen the salmon that could clear ten
feet perpendicularly Several different views
were expressed upon the subject, ana since that
time have taken occasion to measure falls in
several rivers where salmon were leaplng, Tor
the purpose of determining how far salmon
leap.
The question allows Of some elaboration, and
several important factors must be taken into
consideration. First, the character of the take
off " or in other words. the water from which
the salmon starts below the falls. n he can
start from a quiet deep pool or eddy Just below
the falls he can make much higher leap than
II he must start from broken water or shallow
water In some rivers salmon are much longer
and slenderer than in others. and the slender
salmon make much higher leaps than the more
robust ones. A fresh run salmon may be so rat
that he is clumsy, and not able to do his best
at leaping but after three or four weeks spent
in the river he may perform some remarkable
acrobatic feats.

THROW THEM. OPEN.
A Measure Permitting Miners to
Enter Pyramid and Walker
Lake Reservations.


The Nevada press has devoted little
or no attention to the recent Miners
Convention at San Francisco, and yet
one OF the measures considered ap-
provingly by athat gathering is fraught
with great importance to the miners Of
Nevada, says the Report.
For years the existence Of valuable
mineral-bearing lodges on the Pramld
and Walker Lake Reservations has
been known to all Western Nevada
miners, and some we'll authenticated
accounts of the finding Of fabulously
rich gold-bearing quartz on these res-
ervations have from time to time
reached the general public and wetted
the appetite Of p~rospectors for a tour
through those reservations. But the
property belongs to the Indians by
grace Of the Government, and while
too lazy to work it themselves. they
follow the dog-in-the-manger policy Of
refusing anyone else the privilege Of
doing so. The story Is still current in
Hawthorne Of two young Germans who
many years ago discovered and devel-
oped a gold mine in the mountains Of
the Walker Lake reservation. in def
ance Of the Indians. and who were
murdered because of their temerity.
While not we'll authenticated. the story
is by no NEAR improbable, and is only
an illustration Of what might happen to
any white miner who attempted to give
the country the benefit Of these valu-
able mineral lands.
With a view Of removing the re-
straints referred to Col. Boyle introdu-
ced in the last Miners Convention a
resolution requesting the support Of the
California Congressman for a measure
throwing open the mineral-bearing
mountains Of our Indian reservations to
the white prospector. If such a meas
ure be. passed 1t will do a great deal
toward the upbuilding and enrichment
Of Nevada. Col. Boyle is deserving
Of great credit for his enterprising and
progressive spirit. and Governor Sadler
will never make a mistake in sending
such men to represent Nevada abroad.
