stockholders in the new placer company
are men OF means.
Placer mining along this stream has
been prosecuted every mining season
for the past thirty nine years, and has
proven very profitable even to those
owning small amount OF territory.
Some years ago it was worked by a Mr..
Camerson, who was the first person to
introduce Chinese labor in Colorado,
and who worked about seventy five
Chinese placer miners. The result was
that he made money, the placer gold
commanding s15 per ounce at the banks
here and in Denver. Afterward Cam
eron sold out to the we'll known China
man Lin Sou-now dead who contin-
ued to operate the placer ground which
embraced quite tract extending up the
creek from Smith station up to the
ground at that time owned and worked
by Morris Thomas, now a resident Of
Denver.

why lie would Rather See Officers
Killed Than PrIvates.
A conversation l had with Gen. Jou-
bert. when l met him, with the other
Boer leaders, at Newcastle, South Al
RIGA, in 1881, may now be read with
interest, says a correspondent OF the
London Times. l was deploring the
number of casualties among our Off
GERS on the day of Majuba. oh" re-
piled Gen. Joubert, I'VE give special in
structions to our men always to PICK
off your officers" l said, THANK you;
why are we to receive so much atten-
tionw Now l think there was some
reasoning in Gen. Jouberts reply,
which was as follows: You officers
are all rich and quite independent OF
your profession; you can go into your
army and leave it when you please, but
the privates are poor men and they
cannot get away when they please, and
they must fight when they are ordered
TO. and it is how they get their living.
Besides. we have no quarrel with them
and we do not want to kill one of them
II we can help it," l told Joubert OF
the promotion of Hector Macdonald
from the ranks, and of the claymort
that the officers of his regiment hat
presented him with. The general was
much interested, and said: THAT
brave officer must have his sword bacl
again. will search the Transvaal fol
IL and offer G5 reward for it." Gen
Joubert recovered Lieut.. Hector Mac
Donald's sword from Boer farmer
who. when he heard the particulars
declined to accept the offered reward
and Gen. Joubert handed his SWORD
back to Lieut. Macdonald at New
! castle.

LAKES FAR ABOVE SEA LEVEL
Mysterious BodIes OF water Found In
the CordilIeras.


the CordiIIeras.
From Crucoro Alto, the highest town
in the world, the Southern railroad of
Peru drops into Lake Lagunillas, or
lake region of the Cordilleras, where,
group of large lakes of very cold
pure water without inlet or outlet
says the Boston Journal. They re-
ceive the drainage of the surround
ing hills, and conceal it some
where, but there is no visible means OF
its escape. A fringe of ice forms
around the edges of the lakes every
night the year round yet they contain
an excellent variety OF fish called the
pejerray, which is caught near the
shore and sold at Puma and in other
neighboring towns. The two largest
lakes, Sarachocha and Cachipascana,
with several smaller ones in the same
neighborhood, are owned by the family
Of Mr. Romania of Arequipa, who has
just been elected president of Peru.
lie owns immense tracts of land in
this locality, with thousands Of sheep,
cattle, lamas, alpacas and vicunas,
which are herded upon it. A curious
phenomenon about the lakes is that
they keep at the same level all the
time, regardless of dry and rainy sea-
sons. No amount of rain will make
any difference with their depth, which,
| however, in the center is unknown.
And this adds to the awe and mystery
with which they are regarded by the
! Indians. There are no boats upon the
lakes except few small balsas, or
RATS, made Of bundles OF straw which
Keep very close to the shore for fear
of being drawn into the whirlpoo,s
that are said to exist in the center.
! There is some foundation for this fear,
for only two or three years ago a
balsa containing five men disappeared
in the darkness, and it was never heard
Of again. OF course, it may have been
tipped over and its occupants have
been paralyzed by the cold water in
an ordinary way, but their bodies were
never recovered. nor did the balsa
ever float to shore. Therefore the pee
pie think the whole party was lured
into a maelstrom and swallowed III
by the mysterious waters. The whirl-
pool near the center of Lake Popo
which receives the waters Of Lake
Titicaoa, is well known, and hundreds
of men have lost their lives by ven
turing too near it. Boats that are
drawn into the current are whirled
around swiftly a few times and then
disappear. For the protection OF nayi
gators the government of Bolivia ha!
anchored q lot OF buoys in Lake Popo
and boatmen who observe them are IL
no danger. There is supposed to BIZ
an underground outflow from all thes'
lakes. 1t is claimed that articles which
have been thrown into their waters
have afterwards been picked up On thu
seacoast near Africa, and careful OBJ
servers say that on the beach in tina
locality are frequently found corn
: stalks, reeds and other debris which
; do not grow on the coast, but are fount
in great abundance among the interio
lakes.

It may be noted that while the pro-
fessors are disputing as to the COM
mercial utility of liquid air as a pow
err. the main engine work Of the world
is still done by steam. Electricity came
long before liquid air. 1t has been
put to commercial uses for twenty
years, and immense advances have
been made in its production and appli-
cation. Yet the extent to which 1t
has actually superseded steam as an
applied power is really trivial-and
there is a steam engine behind every
current of electricity that is put to
commercial uses. Within a few special
lines electricity is practicable as an
agency for distributing the power
originally generated in steam engine
but the day when steam shall cease
to be the driving power of the worit
seems to be as far off as ever.

The bridge of boats which now forms
the only means OF crossing the Bos-
phorus is entirely insufficient to meet
the demands and it is suggested to
build a tubular tunnel from shore to
shore, so that traffic may go on with

of suitable foundation, this tube must
be suspended or floated below the sur
face Of the water. The scheme sounds
somewhat impracticable, but it is be-

Uscs of the Rivers.

"Eyeryone wants the river for
something. from the artist studying
th, white caps to the pilot awake at
his wheel, looking at sleeping cities
or signalling passing boats filled with
human cargoes, whose lights make
them look like great floating palaces.
while in the evening hour the lowing
herds stoop to quench their thirst or
watch the waters back up and over
flow the meadows. Rivers were made
for some practical use-so are we:
God sent his messenger, the rain,
And said unto the mountain brook,
Rise up and from thy caverns look;
And leap with naked, snow-white feet
From the cool hills into the heat

The Lumberman.

For all the lumberman's rough Jocu-
larity, his heart is right, says Rollin
Lynde HART in the January Atlantic.
Once the forest harbored fugitives
from Justice; but the railroad brought
the sheriff, the sheriff brought the law,
and law brings decency. Besides, as at
sea and on the plains, the open air
breathes a spirit of chivalry. Suppose
a man affronts a waitress; twenty de-
tenders leap to their feet. Suppose a
poor fellow is hurt; round goes the
hat. What is more, two comrades will
drop their work and take him sixty
miles to the doctor. And, sad to tell,
there is need enough for that sort Of
sympathy. "Woodman," says Helen,
who, in spite of my earnest remon-
STRANGE, never verifles her quotations,
"Woodman, spare that toe!" A fine
hero, no doubt, is this man of the for
est, a brave and a generous soul; but
nevertheless, as in the case of Mr..
Burgess impurpled heifer, "Id rather
see than be one" For, roundly Guido
ing that sly humorist's confessed pref
ence for fingers rather than toes,
the lumberman does his best to dis
pense with both. What are left by
the woods are claimed by the mill.

LESSONS OF THE RIVER" SUB
JECT THEREOF.
Isaiah A8; IS: 20 That Thou Hadst
Hardened tn My Commandments!
Then Had Thy Peace Been Like IA
River"

I'm the anatomy OF countries the
arteries are its rivers, through which
throb the life and the strength OF ma
lions. Along their banks cities have
planted themselves, and the whistle or
the factory answering to the whistle
of the boat, and the steady blow Of the
paddlewheel tell us that we are in a
busy part Of a busy world. Religion
has made out of them her affairs and
devotees have bowed and worshiped at
their shrincs. BY the side Of the Ganges
the cots Of the dying are placed. AS
soon as the breath leaves q body, the
mouth, the nostTils and the ears are
filed with dirt, and the stenchiul
corpse fcats down the stream. To the
crocodile the Hindoo mother tossed he!
babe as an Offering, and Charlemagne,
to convert his kingdom to Christianity,
drove hundreds of thousands of unwill-
ing subjects like cattle into the stream
where the priests baptized them by the
wholesale. Pilgrims returning from
the Holy Land bring back water from
the Jordan Not because the Jordan
is any better than the ALBANIA and the
PhaTpar, but because we would have
water from the same river into which
Christ waded and into which he sank.
Over the rocks leap the springs, and
the creeks dash on toward the seas,
and freshcts come, until the water
sheds can hold no more. The whole
land is drunk. AS the finest gems are
quarried from the darkest mines, the
richest grains have waded knee-deep in
! the mud. The trees sink their roots
and stretch out their leafy hands to-
ward God in prayer, and everywhere
the cry is, Drink, drink, drink give
me- Down the Rhine the tourist drifts

chantment has been 1T work. Yonder

Cannot We have this shower of

the manifestations Of the Holy Ghost.

What the River Tea ches.

Lesson the first. The river teaches
us the peace of obedience. or all mas
tiers, the most memorable is nature
She never laughs with us because we
want to laugh, or weeps with us be-
cause we want to cry. Many a wedding
day has been wet with shower and
frozen with SHOWS, and many a funeral
procession wends its way through a
garden. Even the birds may carol in
the tree branches overhead when we
lower the dear body into the ground,
as though every heartache, sorrow,
hopelessness and sob could be driven
away by their happy songs The farm
ers study the laws of the seasons. We
plant at a certain time. reap when we
ought to reap, care for the cattle as
they ought to be cared for, and the
more we obey the atmospheric COM
mands the greater the crops, the fuller
| the hencoops and the fatter the calves
| The sailors keep one eye upon the
