The Occult in Mining.

Those who would have us belive that the belief in witchcraft has disappeared from the earth, driven to oblivion by the light of modern science and educa- tion, must qualify their contention in the face of an incident which occurred in Victoria the other day. A modern wizard, the seventh son of a seventh son, who can see through brick wall as readily as the less gifted man can observe the landscape through the rungs of ladder, has established himself 'in our midst" and is prepared to impart to all and sundry, for considerations the secrets of their lives, past, present and future. To this soothsayer came a certain man, armed with piece of rock speckled Der with pale, sickly traces of some kind of mineral. He did not ask much of the inspired one, only that he should tell him where the rock came from, how much there was of it, and it's value per ton as free-milling and con- centrating proposition.
 sMy friend" said the decendant of the Witch of Endor, "thy curiosity may be gratified, but it will necessitate the casting of my astral being into the whenceness of the where, and such a feat of spiritual gymnastics entails much mental fatigue and considerable physical exhaustion. However, if thou hast the dou-I mean for the insig- nificant sam of s25, am willing to un- dergo the ordeal. Place thy right hand in mine, concentrate thy thoughts upon thy maternal grandmother, and keep thine eye fixed on wonder skull. which is that of the great Zoroaster, of rever- ed memory, and I will quit my earthly shell and dive into the bowels of the earth and prospect your claim"
 The money was paid over, the medium assumed death like rigidity, and in sepulchral tones told his wondering client that the rock came from a deep canyon, near a lake, that there were millions of tons of it in sight, and that it was worth s5,649.99 per ton, after paving mining, transportation and smelter charges. The truth-seeker> de- parted poorer but happier man; and now he sympathizes with the lowly creatures who pin their faith to Cocos Island stock.

The business men of Front street are the champion basket ball players. The game which gave them this distinguish ed honor was played at Natatorium Hall last Friday evening. Both the up town and the down town business houses were we'll represented, and a fancy looking lot of sports they were when they lined up. Prof. Holt, who understands the game, acted as referee. All he had to do in this game was to throw up the ball. When it came down Hugh Tracy took smash at 1t and missed it so hard that he fell the full length of the hall. Charlie Wortman side stepped little, but Mike O'Connor rushed him and then Frank Bach lit in and made trouble. Deacon Willis ut tered a war whoop that could be heard down to the Ready Bullion and made rush for the center, but just then hls suspenders broke and he went down to the swimming pool and made good res olutions while the game proceeded. Harry Jordan concluded that some thing was doing and took Fred Krause and Jules Jensen by the hand and led them out by the front entrance. But Krouse wouldn't stand for it and broke away just in time to mix things for Fox who was contentedly kicking the bladder with both feet. Then the thing got away down to the other end of the beat where Hopp and Murray had been dreaming of home. Bach took the kittie by the neck, climbed the back fence and dropped it over into the dip net, and that finished the first half. After the rub down Deacon came back rested and threw a goal from away out in the flower garden; three women and two children had the high strikes and Jack Mcdonald who is the manager of the Nat" got scared and put out the lights. Score 6 to nit-in favor of the Downs.
