Li.jpgrun of Rossland, passed through Midway on Saturday ion his way to Osoyoos. On his return he intends seeing some of our mining jumps. Mr. McCool, Custom's officer at Marcus, paid a first, and pleasant visit, to Midway on Thursday last, and seoniod -vhil.it here, very much taken willi his surroundings, Tho haying season has now fairly begun ; tbe yields in every case iiii reported as lieing exceptionally heavy, Mr. Jackson's timothy was cut nearly H fortnight since, While Messrs.

Having the horse-whim now in posi- I inn, and everything in order, work will again he Btarted upon the shaft of Ihe Last Chime mine, to-day. Three eight hour shifts will lie run, and development prosecuted vigorously. The shaft, oil lhe Monarch cluim, Greenwood Camp is now down fo feet, and the ore body looks extremely well. The Monarch was purchased this spring liy Mr. P, Large ay from Messrs. Humphrey k Keightley, and is rpt'OB; nised as an excellent property. Having put down an incline shaft to lhe depth of DO feet on the North Star, Long Like Camp, M''* Thomet lias now moved across tlie lake to do his assessment work on the Lake View, another of his claims. After complet- jng assessment on this claim, he will probably again return to the North Star, and sink the shaft tn a depth of pome 75 feet, Mr. Bosshart is now working upon [he south end of the Jewel claim, iu Long Lake Camp. The vein is showing up well. This is a parallel vein— Upon whicli lliere are nnw eight claims located—to the Gold Drop, and it is generally conceded lo lie tpiile its fqunl. If not its superior. The Jewel vein is more highly mineralised than (he Gold Drop, and carries m(\iiy punces of silver to the ton, which Is found in llie form of Argc.nlile, or sit yer glance. Those who have had occasion to visit , Long Lake Camp recently, havo only words of praise to offer nf Hie thorough manner in which the miners carried put the work nn thu new trail they jiave just built Into the camp, When the buys turn nut tn do nny work of a public character, there is no fear of Its hot lining carried thorough properly. And the government would lie mean indeed Ihalwould not tender adequate remuneration for tlie service rendered. Quite a number of claims, are lieing (aken up ill Copper Ciimp. This is tlie result of a little work on the part of (he pros|iectoin. Undoubtedly some of the best claims have yet to be found, which are at present covered over with Wash. The old tiuie prospector staked only on those ledges whicli were in sight, and a hundred feet wide, and they bud very little use .sometimes even for this kind of property, if tlioy could not pun free gold out of it. What were last fall three distinct camps—Greenwood, Summit, and Wellington,—with foui und live miles of unoccupied ground between each, are now, owing to Ihe large number of locations recently made, virtually one vast. camp.

Oh, llio wondrous tolas sho told, Of the robber knights of old, That used to till my boyish soul with iln-iul. But she brushed away all fear With each tangled look of hair, As bIio kissed aud tucked me )n my trundle bed. What a tender, loving smile was always on that dear old face; And what music did that thin, iwcot 'voice employ- Whot a world of consolation found I In that boundless grace, That would let hor soo no evil In her boy. Oh, how bountifully blessed, Was the curly head that pressed That bosom, as she onioned some quaint old song; Gci lly nicking to nml fro In the evening's llrellght glow. Safely shielded fnnn ull chance of harm or wrong. Many years have come nnd gono ilnco I saw that door old face; Many years u( toil and blessing, pain undJoy; Hut then' always will roinnln within my heart a lender place, Por that guardian angel to a wayward hoy.

Kvon i\] those days ihis sort of thing Iind gone out of fashion, and tho county sheriff attempted to arrest the disturber. Result: The sheriff killed tho leading eitizen, and the leading citizen killed the sheriff, causing a vacancy la tho sheriff's office. This brought along'a new sheriff und a new deputy shoriff. The deputy wasn good inan and a bravo mar. lie knew how lo use a gun, aud had tho courage to do so if r.ecesHiry, Ho had the reputation of beluga man with Whom it was far better to use diplomacy than force. W;th all theso tjuivlitlos ho had had iiuojlii iai oaporhince, but of this lie gained a great deal the lii^l lime ho ever made an arrest. It kupi.onod this way: Some miles from Buster City Is a littio onlleeihm of houses and ptoros known as Fishhook. A young man had come through there riding a horse of stieh good quality as to attract ijpivcival uttontlon. Be wa< nujclollfl lo sell the horse, and, nmrenvor, W(^ V'illjng to Full at a price fur below Its real ijmip, It wan beyt.ml anyone's conipivliension why the man wanted to Fell at FUph'j) price, unloss he inni stolen Ihe hor.e. Hence, ihe citizens of Wsi hook milled leather and took him in charge as a horroiMof, put him under guard and scat woitl down to Buster City by lhe boy who uirrlcri thi1 t'aily mail for some one fr. in ll:e rheriff's office to come up, get 1 ha t'l'Wmer end laku him lo iho coimiy .!iii'.

Ho had a new hi r.«', a l'.eU siKitltp lhat pqucflked as lie roiiu lilting, and i\ pow six phootor—12-enl* ilier, v. lib ear\*p*l ivory handle, riuiig rak* ishly over his right hip. Ho tarried also a grim pair f f liaiu'eulTs lhat were not nuW, hm se^ livable, When ho reached his destination lie found tlu; pian he was after sitting in a chair in one of Iho stores, with a circle of slum, Winchester-bearing Flshhookars sit- ling nil uriumd him. Tite man had on good clothes, anil did not look like at all a horsothtef would bo supposed to look. The deputy iold him he would Iw obliged to ctunc along, and to put his hands so he could put the handcuffs on. The man turned pale when he heard tills, and especially when ho saw tho ctx\o\ irons. ,wnld he: "I'm ft stranger here charged with lieing a criminal. I am innocent and hejico more than willing to go with you, as my innocence can readily l>e proven.' I profess to bo a gentleman, antl would like to be treated as one. Put me on the slowest old horse you can iind, have me ride in front all the way. You are armed, lam unarmed, hence 1 couldn't escape if I w^Btflit t°i ForGud's sake, though, don't disgrace me by taking mo through the country with those things on mo I" I The man's looks, Ills earnestness and his horror of the handcuffs Impressed the deputy, antl lie felt very much like relenting, but he didn't. It was his lirst arrest, and it behooved him to he careful. Duty was duty and it; wouldn't do to take chances. So lie snapped the handcuffs on the man's wrists and led him out. Both mounted llieir horses, the prisoner with somo considerable difficulty bound as ho was, and the deputy tied one end of a rope to the bits of his own horse and thu other end to the bits of the horse supposed to have been stolen. Together they rode away, the prisoner riding on the right. If the deputy liad known liis liusiness better he would not have allowed Ihe prisoner to ride on lhat side, next Ui the new six- shooter. He doesn't allow prisoners l-o rido that way how. Tlie road, \vaH long, uninteresting nnd very sa*,V,b\ Their progress was necessarily slow and they went along lor some time in silence side by side, Now, the deputy was a sociable, kindly man, who loved to talk and he talked to, and hu stood It -vt long us he could, hut finally opened up a eonvursal Ion and hi* companion rorpoudod. The prisoner turned out to he a marvel, He could talk about anything and talk I Dovlngly, He told stor- Ics i\ui,l experiences novel and Interesting. So lhey rode on mgeihcr, ineeling a few people, who looked at them curiously, until finally \hvy entered a long, straight stretch of road between two high barbed wire fences. Open fields wore on eii her side, and uot a human being in sight. Over to the left, low in tho air, a few buzzards were circling lazily. "I wonder what (hoso buzzards aro after," CMtlftlly remarked the prisoner, lioddiu^his head in that direction, and tin; deputy looked over at thein. This was the climax of the deputy's errors. For awhile he looked away, quicker than yoti could «vy "scat," easily anil gently the prisoner leaned over and w-Mi has bound hands snaked the knuli'.l, new ivory-handled dx*shootorfrom ils MMer, and when the deputy looked around ho 6CNAPS Of SCIENCE.
