VICTORIA MINE DAM.
Work Will Soon Be Completed
Strong Concrete Structure.

Splendid work has been accom-
plished at the dam of the Victoria
copper mine. Supt. Hooper ex-
poets that, with any kind of favor
able weather conditions, he will have
the entire structure completed and
filled with water at the end OF q
week or so, which will make it just
two months from the time the first
concrete was put in until the finish
ing touches are made.
Regarding the dam, the Hancock
Evening Journal says: "The dam is
600 feet in length, and has curve
up stream of between 25 and 30 feet,
which gives it more resistance to
the force of the water. Every ten
feet from start to finish, or from
shore to shore, there is an 18 eye
steam beam imbedded in the solid
rock. At the end of the dam q
large steel tube is inserted in the
concrete, which will be fitted with
gate so that in time of freshet
when considerable sand and dirt
would naturally be washed toto the
dam, these gates can be opened and
thus allow the debris to wash down
stream instead of into the canal and
through the mill. From the top of
the dam slide or chute, for logs
will be built, so the logs can be run
over the dam without injury. This
will be constructed OF wood.
"While the dam was in course of
construction several openings were
left in the concrete to let the water
escape, and the closing of these open
ings in the main will constitute the
finishing touches of the dam. One
has already been closed, just for an
experiment, and so complete is the
stoppage that not drop can make
it's way through what was previously
the opening
tThere will be six gates leading
from the dam to the canal, through
which the supply Of water will be
controlled.
"The thirty new dwellings that
are being erected there are nearing
completion, and in another month
they will be finished.
'SAs soon as the dam is finished so
that the company's carpenters are
free, work on the store building will
be begun, and it is expected that
the establishment will be opened up
with a 1000 or $4,000 stock inside
of two months at the longest.
"As soon as the dam is finished
crew will be set at work on the
canal. Supt. Hooper informed US
that work on this would be con-
tinued all winter"
Byers, O'Connell, Prendergast
and Clarkson have the contract for
building the canal.

DASHED TO DEATH.
Terrible Tragedy at the Tama.
rack Mine.

John Varvanitze, employed at the
TamaracS mine, near Calumet, met
an awful fate Wednesday. He was
in the cage with four companions,
and in some way fell out and
plunged down the shaft 1000 feet.
He was dashed to pieces at the bot
tom Of the shaft. An unusual feature
OF the accident is that the man s
companions, who were with him in
the cage, did not see him fall.
The jury returned verdict to the
effect that the miner came to his
death by accidentally falling down

SUBSCRIPTION LAWS.
Compiled From Decisions Rem
dered BY United States Court.

Many readers have from time to
time requested information concern
ing newspaper subscription laws.
Seven have been compiled from de-
cisions of the United States court,
and embody points that bother
many newspaper publishers. The
seven are:
l. Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to renew their
subscriptions.
2. If subscribers order the dis
continuance of their periodicals the
publisher may continue to send them
until all arrearages are paid.
3. II subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their periodicals from the
postoffice to which they are directed
they are responsible until they haye
settled their bills and ordered them
discontinued.
4. If subscribers move TO other
places without informing the pub.
Usher, and the papers are sent to
the former address, they are held
responsible.
5. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the
office, or removing and having them
uncalled for, is prima facie evidence
of intentional fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the, time if they do not wish
to continue taking it, otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send it
and the subscriber be responsible
until an express notice, with pay
ment Of all arrearages, is sent to
the publisher.
z. The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can ar
rest any one for fraud who takes q
paper and refuses to pay for it.
Under the law the man who allows
his subscription to run along for
some time unpaid and then orders
it discontinued, or orders the post
master to mark it refused" and
have postal card sent notifying
the publishers, leaves himself liable
TO arrest and fine, the same as for
theft.
1t will be seen that many disputed
points are disposed Of by these de-
cisions, which are certainly only
just. II a subscriber doesn t want
to renew his subscription let him
notify the publisher. The second
decision given here will be sur
prise to some publishers, who be-
lieved they must stop a delinquent
subscribers paper II ordered to.
The delinquent must pay up If he
desires to continue his subbscrip-
ton. Otherwise he is held respon-
sible for as long as the paper is be.
ing sent to him. whether he takes it
from the postoffice or not.

The campaign against the new
Casino was started by the news
papers of Nice and the fight has
been taken UP by all classes. The
projectors, however, hardly expect
to. be disturbed, relying upon their
ability to bride public officials.
AT Monte Carlo, though the sea
son hardly has opened, there has
been heavy play already, Baron de
Wietinghof, a German nobleman,
has succeeded in breaking the bank
twice in three days. He plunges
recklessly and plays without "sys-
tenn" and with no regard whatever
for the maxims of gambling.
But the most remarkable story
that has come from Monte Carlo in
years Is that of an Austrian embeZ-
2ler, who came to Monaco and won
so heavily at the tables that he
soon could afford to restore his
stealings and make his former en-
ployers a peace Offering besides.
He was a railroad official and the
amount with which he absconded
was only $1,000. On arriving at
Monte Carlo he promptly tackled"
roulette, and soon had won 1000,
Having done so he lost 10 time in
returning to his old employers the
embezzled $500. To which he added
