These were abandoned in 1870 The above mentioned
coal depots were maintained FOR some years after
the Civil War but were abandoned about 1870 In
consequence of the policy Of supplying all ships OF

sails instead Of steam.
In the long interval Of peace following the neces-
stiles OF war in regard to coal depots attracted
little attention. Secretary Thompson. in his re-
port for 1880 dwelt on the necessity OF establishing
a coal depot on each side of the Isthmus OF Pan

coal to be deposited In the Chriqui Lagoon. Carb-
bean Sea- and another In the Bay of Golhto. a
part Of the Gulf OF Dulce, the Pacific coast. No

pose.
Secretary Hunt In his report OF 1881. after fully
discussing the subject. reached the conclusion that
the places selected by Secretary Thompson were
perhaps not the best locations. and for this and
other reasons abstaned from acquiring title to
any sites for coal depots near the isthmus. Secre-
tary Chandler In his report OF 1883. strongly urged
establishing coalng stations in various parts OF the
world. Several important sites were mentioned,
and particular reference made to Honolulu the

 On returning to his cabin he placed the miniature and the square mirror side by side on the table and looked at them intently for a long time. Then he kicked his chair over backward and went out to his claims once more. The first corners of the stampeders had finished stalking out, and were now wandering about the hills. Peter found small group of them on one of his claims. They were reading his notice and were laughing idly. Peter knew two of them.
 "Hullo, Happy!" called one, on catch ing sight of him, what do ye call this?' He winked at the rest. The history of Peters losses was well known to all. He was pointing to the weather beaten notice.
 'What?" asked Peter, strangely,
 You ain't got this readin' right. She says fifteen hundred feet The law says she oughter read fifteen hundred linear feet Tore claim Is n. g. I'm go- in t jump her on youH' The statement was ridiculous. Everybody knew it, and prepared to laugh, loud-mouthed.
 Peter, without a word, shot the man through the heart. Men said at his trial that it was the most brutal and unpro- voked murder they had ever known.
