Tli visitor ilII not rcalio that from late th the fall until early in the uprlng quartz miners tee as little of the uun as do the Isqialmnux In the lanil of six-months-night. ) urIng ( hub portion of the year they get up before vinrIso , work nil day In the black depths of thu mine , anil tiUit work after sunset. . Under such conditions it Is natural that ( lie intners first conulderatlcn I hL light. Ho will have nothing to do with the little lampi : so common among the coal miners of the east. The nature of his vrk is such that he can do nothing Ith a little tin Pot filled with lard oil dangling from his hat. 'That will do very well for pick .work on - - . _ coal and other soft material , but the ores of gold and silver era generally hard , vary greatly In quality and thxttiro , fliid are full of soflns anti cross fractures. 'rhene the miner must take advantage of in breaking (1QWII tlu ore , and 130 2nunt have a light that can ho fixed * lose to where the pick point must strike. Let the "tenderfoot" take a pick and strike briskly into the ere at random , and as the hohnt clangs against the flInty quartz , he will feel a tingle in his anon anti a jar run through hhi shoulders that he will never forget ; one that will make ilm careful next tinio to take advantngo of a eam , crevice , or soft 'pot , witero the ntrokc' will accomplish something without being too hard on nerves and steel. TI ! l , MINER'S CANILESTICK. In drilling for blasting also the holes have to be lUt ) in at angles in the roof , sldo and ends of thio worklngs slid thin man who Is holdiiig the drill auits his partner to see clean ) ' just whore to strike so as to lilt the drlli uqiiarely on Its head. Otherwise the seven utid a half POUIId hammer might miss thin ulriil head or glance oh ! and break the turner's wrist or go crasliin Into lila face. Through long experience it has beeti found that nothing will servo the purpose so well Ba ealithlea , and those must be the very best qrahily that can be hail ; they must not melt readily in the heat of the great depths or burn too fast where there is a heavy draught. Above all they must give a clear blaze , free from smbko. Then ho must have something that will iiold his candle near the point where ( ho pick must strike or near the head of the drill. ThIs has led to the invention of the miner's candle- atick. This article of universal use in tue mines is not patented and the sticks are nearly always homemade. 'flue hook enables thio miner to bang it to any minute hollow or vroi ctlon and the sharp point enables 1iiiii to ntick it into any crovi e or soft SlOt in thii , ore body , whIle the handle is large no as to enable him to give it. a vigorous thrust if necessary. As these candlesticks are iioincmaile it hins become a proverb in the vest that ' 'tlio ziiiner is known by his candlestick. " Many of tlieso light holders are quite elaborate In finish and polish , and ] io gootl worker would consent to carry for a single day's work a poorly or clumsily inmulo candlestick. I\S they are made of the best steel and are about eight inches long , they are as dauigerous in tile hands of an angry uiian as time famous Spanish stiletto , amnil they have figured in many of the blood spilling cases in the Courts of tIme mountain re2ions. As the miner lives and works so mUch In the dark , and as his cabin is generally ( lOWn in the gulch near tno creek , while his mine is high up on the huh above ilium , ho must have a good light to go and conic over time slippery trail where he may have to cm-awl along the edge of a precipice , and where he in sure to feel time full force of time ilerco wimmtry biasts.

But when lmo tlaes settle down lie often ornaments his cabin in most fanttstlc fashion , usimig time labels of the "air tights" freely for time decoration of ho interior walls. Sometimes lie accumulates various treasures which seem valuable to imiumi and then he is prone to secure his door with aim iinimrvised lock. I once saw such aleck lock which , as so ingenious as to merit a description Time outs'de of the door showed only a knob , a bit of buckskin string dangling from a little hole near the knob , and a keyhole. TIme keyhole , hmoever , was only a hued. On time inside of ( ho door was a heavy harmi- wood bar that lid through Iron guides , and was provided on time bottom with cogs cut neatly in the hard wood forming a rack. On time inside end of time knob was a wooden pinion wheel timat turned the rack moving time big bar forward or back. Above the bar was a pi ce of wood held in piaco by hoop Iron guides that dropped into a notch in the long bar. To the top of tills piece of wood was fastened time buckskin string which passed tlmrougim time door and dangled invitingly - vitingly Omi time outside. To open time door it. was ulecesBmtr ) to pull on the string and raise time lIttle bar , and then turn the knob and thus move the long bar back. Unless a man understood ( lie combination he could not gaimi admIttance and would probably go away thinking that tue door was locked. At night a peg Inserted in the hole above the little bar held the door antely and solidly , -0. _ i. BAIL1Y. 4ltn hOYCOT'I'S COXSI'IRACJES ?

In time United States court of appeals in St. Louis was filed the other day the roe- ords In time case of the Oxhoy Stave Comupany vs. Coopers' Union No. 18 and the Trades Assembly of Kan.aaa City et al , The Oxley comnpauiy , says time Globe-Democrat , hind a cooperage plant at iCansas City. with a large trade over most of time western and southern states , and in 1895 it introduced "heaping machines. " Such machines imad been in use by ( ho cooperage trade im many places , and were in use in lCansaa City whemi time company brought its plant tbere. The ( lotondant.s sent committees to the company requesting the discontinuance of the machines - chines after January 18 , 1896-otiiwlse they would place a boycott on all packages hmooped by the mnachines and on all other products of time company. The company oh- tamed an order restraining the defendants frommi carrying out their threat. The order was issued by Judge Foster. as it was impos- albie to apply to Judge Phillips. From the record it appears that the proposed - posed boycott wan because the machines thros many men out of work , and were op- crated by child labor. Time defendants denied - nied that thmoy intended any uimlmiwfui inter- fereimQe with time enmphoyes of time Oxley company , but proposed to use only moral suasion to induce the lUbiiC to let the Oxley goods alone. Thmo defendants also in. troduced a large number of affidavits to show that mnachiinc-hiooped barrels wore muchi in- ferlor to iiand.hooped ones. It was also simown that one machine would take the place of seven or eight coopers. Imi granting ( lie injunction , Judge Foster voumt at 531110 lengtim into time law regarding boycotts , and lila conclusion was that wImIlo no ono qutlons the..rigimt of time defondants. to refuse to buy mnachilmim.-muade packages , or goods mit up lii them. or by fair means to persuade others from buying or using thonm , it baa been decided ( lint while such action would not be unlawful by an Individ. eel , a combination and conspiracy to accoma- push tim purpose would be an Illegal act.

The history of the diamond fields of South Africa Is fuli of those strange romances that tell of the ups and downs of life , of fights for wealtim where imealtim , homier , or even life itself cut but little figure In the methods thkcn to acquire it. If the diamond in its raw state his , , not time attractive glitter of the yellow nmetai the chances of finding a fortune within an exceedingly small limit are infinitely greater , nni there in always before the cx- Pectant digger ho possibIlity of turning up at any moment ( ho "largest yet. " Mm interestngaccouflt of the early days iii Oriqualand West and the subsequent devel- opmnont of the mimmea , says the i'hiladelpiiia Tinmes , is given by Mr. J. hlmickuiall South , who teii that early in time year 1S67 traveler named O'Itohily , bound southward from time Oratmge river , rested himself a' while at a farm iii the Hope Town district. lIs host , cne Niekerk , presently brought to imis notice some nice looking stones tlmat had been obtained from time river , and wimile cx- nniimmlumg this cohlectiomu of pebbles O'Itellly pounced upon the "first genuine African diamond , " Timi gent ho took to Dr. Ather- stone of Oralmainstown , who prcnounced it to be worth $2OO , arid this sum it very soon realized. Naturally , the lucky wayfarer has- ( cecil back to ( lie spot where ouch good fortune - tune lund befallen him , but his subsequent asaidimous rearciiea were unavailing. Sommio two years then elapsed without anythmhiug moo- nmontous tranrpiriimg. However , Ill 1869 , Farmer Niokerk acquired from a native , for about 2OOO worth of stock , a large diamond which he sold to a firm in hope Town for $50,000. This famous gemn weighed eighty- three carats , and was estimated to be worth 12O , 000. Thom very natmiral result of the sensational thou just mentioned was a frantic rush of diggers to time district front all parts , Strangely enough no mnine was , or ever has been almuco , found near time scene of these early discoveries. Careful prospecting. however - ever , demnonstrateul later on that diamomuds existed on thobanks of time Vaal river. Con- sequcmmtly , barely a year after the finding of "Time Star of South Africa , " mm fewer ( line 10,000 hmersons Imiud arrived. an the scene in spite of time dreary. not to say appalling , prospects that confronted them , Good food and pure water vere unknown at that time. Many miners succumbed to Pestilence , ills- ease and sunstroke before they evea reached ( ho threshold of timeir Fidorado. At ( huts time , fortunately , crime , was almost unknown - known , partly because the Journey from Port Elizabeth was accomplished in rough huh- lock wagons over frightful roads and occupied - pied about three weeks , at a cost of fully $250 , an amount beyond ( lie moans of time lowest class of rogues. Furthermore , the cost of living was simply prodigious. In 1871 a new diamond deposit was die- covered near Dutoitspan on a farm called Veoruintzigt , the property of a Mr. Do Boors , mind three years hater these diggings , including - ing those of Dutoitspan and iCinuberley , were proclaimed by law as "mimics. " It was not until 1882 ( hint time Bulfontein mine was dts- covered tlmrough a visitor finding diamonds embedded in ( ho clay walls of the old homestead - stead ; an exploration of time soil belv showed that time imouse had been built over a diamond mine. 130DM IN LAND VALUES. Before diamonds were found in this hocal- ity the arid land was not werthm more th.mmi a few cents per acre ; indeed , the imomnestead that was built over (110 iCimberley mnino was originally bought for loss thaum 40. The farm , which included the Do Beers mine , was sold later on for $30,000 anml was shortly afterward acquired by time government for $500,000 , whereas tIme property hums slimco proved to be wortim nearly $500,000,000. From $20,000,000 to $25,000,000 worth of gems have bcen raised froni timesa mines in time course of a single year. Time feelings of the poor farmers wimo thus parted with their land for a lucre pittance may he better imaguumed than described when they discovered that they had been living and sleeping over hoards of ahirost fabulous treasures. In October , 1871 , minIng laws wore first formulated and proclaimed In Griqualand , and then it was that time license mooney for mining claims was fixed at $1.25 per month for arena of about thirty feet square , if not womked by more than three peraons ; $2.60 it worked by abc , nn c , on pro rata. On these easy terms many fortunate diggers no- quired wealth with amazing rapidity , whllo others went quickly down into an untimely grave. As there was at this time a fine go-as-you- please system of mining ( ho irregular excavations - vations gradually assumed vast dimensions and depths ; while ( lie multitude of wire ropes stretching across time diggIngs , by which time soil was raised to time surface In buckets , resembled monstrous motahlic cob. webs. Up to 1874 ( lie industry was controhied by th diggers' committee , but after that date a representative mimining board was constituted for ( limo purpose. We are now discussing a period whemu the railway to Kimnberley was far advanced , while hiundrethi of acres hmaml been allotted in somali claims to thousands of diggers from all parts of time world , Time scene througlmommt time dIstrict. at timid period was animated and immmpressive to an astonisimI I leg degree , amid white labor was energetically I assisted by native triboo. About this time I windlassn , worked by horss , were fIrst employed - I ployed for hauling up time baskets of soil over time erial ropeways before mentioned , Tmia enabled larger quantities of deposits to be ra'sed ' mit a time. About a year later the primitive cradle washing macimino was supplanted - planted by hummproveml imiechanical rotary devices - vices , tied this is time typo of washimig appa- rattle used at ( lila day. b'imortly after , tme iteam engine was introduced upon the busy I but somewhat dismnal scene , .In April , 1876 , time diggers armeil timem- selves and openly rebelled against time mm- I Ing council , Timis hoisting of the "black lag" and the commtllct ssimlclm followed ro- ulted in time recall of Mr. Soutlmey , time lieu- ennnt governor. As we have already liimmtod , the cxcnvmitiomia vero assuming coloazal dimensions , , gonse- iUCntly lammd-alips coumuuen cd emu a pretty r mxtcnmive scale.
