number did SO during the early part of

through Mr.. Coles influence when Sink

nearly $4,000 in the bank, failed to

We ran, we ran, my Youth and I,
Beneath sun of golden sheen,
Not any shadow in our sky;
Only the sunlight fell between
The nights and mOrnS of yesterdays,
And only softest breezes blew
Along the blossom bordered ways
The only ways our footsteps knew.
What wealth we found in sunset gold,
When all the West had open flung
It's shining gates as day had told
Her happy hours and eve had hung
Behind these gates her hammered stars,
To watch above the world of night,
And drop through darkness blacklist bars
The cheerful simmer of their light
And Hope walked with us as we went
Along the pathway of the years,
And Love, dear Love, to us was sent,
To guard us from the ghost of fears.
Upbreathed the blossoms at our feet.
And glad Youths laughter was as sweet
AS any birds song in the field.
The glory of unnumbered Springs
Seemed looking at US through Loves
eyes,
To us his voice forever sings,
The song of love and it's replies.
The passing hours were sandaled then
Soft-footed went they as the sun
Sandaled with golden visions when
And so the days they came and went,
Till Youth slipped by me unaware,
But still wandered ON content,
Though Youth was gone, Love played
me fair.
Still Youth, like a remembered dream,
Or a song hushed amid it's keys,
Is lost not, though il SO may seem;
But lives in Loves eternities.

Lizzie luminous Of this city and
Trooper Sam Wheeler at Fort Wingate,
N. NJ, were married by telegraph.
A year ago both lived In Winchester.
Wheeler enlisted in the United States
regular army. He was transferred
from Kentucky to New Mexico, was
made trooper in the Ninth Cavalry

corresponded with the girl, and she
promised to go to him and be mar
ried. He sent her sufficient money for
railway fare, but Joseph luminous, the
father, refused to let her go. Wheeler
tried to secure a parole, but failed.

graphed to the sweetheart, and Mr..
luminous, the girls father, approved
it. A through circuit was esta blished
over the telegraph company's wires be-
tween Fort Wingate and Winchester,
1,70O miles apart.

DEFINITION OF MINING.
Involved in Decision Rendered by
the Supreme Court.

the Supreme Court.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 23.-The Su-
preme Court has rendered decision
involving the definition of mining, and
holds that it is immaterial what ma
terial be mined and handled at profit,
as the only question is whether the
act is one of digging into the earth for
the purpose of extracting a deposit
therein situated.
The California Lustral Company was
corporation which owned a tract of
land outside of Oakland, from which a
substance was taken which was, by a
process of grinding and drying, turned
into paint. The business of the COM
pany was not a success, and a mortgage
for $5,236 was made to J. J. johnson.
Suit to foreclose was commenced, and
at the trial the defense was set up
that the company was engaged in min
ing. The lower court decided that the
business OF the company was not min
ing, but the Supreme Court has re-
versed the judgment, holding that it
was mining.
Tne supreme Court has affirmed the
judgment of the lower court which con-
v1cted A. B. Campbell and D. c. Spen-
Ger OF grand larceny. They advertised
IN newspaper in Los Angeles for a
collector, one of the requirements being
deposit of $500. Fred Seagrave an
swered the advertisement, and made
the deposit Of the money. 1t afterward
developed that the business was a
fraud, and that Campbell and Spencer
deliberately duped Seagrave.

VICTORIA (B. c., Dec. 23.-Captain
Ewart of the lost bark Colusa, who ar
rived with his wife and thirteen men
of the ship on the steamer Cottage City
this afternoon tells the following story
of their experience:
1.-THE Colusa left Kahului, where, as
will be remembered, she went ashore
on entering that port on October list,
and sailed for Esquimalt to be repaired.
She was off Cape Flattery on Novem-
Der 18th, while heavy southeast gale
was raging, which continued until the
22d. The vessel was then within three
miles of Vancouver Island shore, above
Flattery. A heavy sea was running,
and the vessel was forced to carry
labored heavily by reason Of the bulk of
water in her bilge, and the ballast was
turned to mud Pumps were kept go
ing continuously.
ION the 18th the gale Increased in
force, driving the ship before it at the
rate of eleven knots per hour. The
pumps kept bringing up ballast, and
the ship was getting very tender. All
spare sail and sacks that could be OBJ
tanned were used to keep the mud in.
1.-THE whole crew then came aft, and
requested me to abandon ship and take
to the boats. We, however continued
to pump, and brought up great quanti-
ties of ballast, giving the ship a heavy
list to port.
by December 10th she had been
driven toward the entrance Of Sitka
Bay, and an effort was made to work
her into the bay, signals of distress be-
ing made continually. On the 18th the
wind freshened, and she was driven to
sea again. Tie crew then again came
aft and demanded that we abandon the
ship while near land, before the storm
increased. Seeing no further hope Of
saving the vessel boats were put over
and the ship left to her fate. Half an
hour later we lost sight of her, and I
believe that she foundered or capsized.
Sitka was reached after four terrible
days in a boat, during which time
seven men were frozen, but there were
no casualties
Captain Ewart and crew continued
tonight on their journey to San Fran
cisco.

Ten powerful locomotives for pas

feet in diameter. The tender carries
ten tons of coal and has water ca
pacity of 5000 gallons. The weight of
engine and tender is 243300 pounds.
The cab is arranged to give the en-
gineer the best possible chance to
work. The levers are within easy
reach of his seat, while the right side
of the boiler has been stripped of
machinery in order to give the en-
gineer a chance to look ahead without

A Solomon and Hypnotism.

A story is told of a Judge who lately
had the hypnotic plea raised before him
by a burglar. The prisoner claimed
that he did not know that he was
''burgling''; that he did it automatically
and unconsciously, under the direction
of a hypnotist.
The Judge said he would give him the
full benefit of the law, and also of his
hypnotic misfortune. He thereupon
sentenced the man to five years penal
serv1tude, but told him he could, II he
chose, send for the hypnotist, and have
himself made unconscious for the entire
term of his Imprisonment.
'"Che same power" said the Judge.
(which enabled you to commit burg
larry and not know it, ought also to en-
able you to suffer imprisonment with
hard labor and not be aware of it. AT
any rate this is the best can do FOR
you."-Collier's Weekly.
