John Dixon, the well known pros
pector, Bohemian and newspaper cor
respondent, has just returned from a
long journey to the Holy Cross. -His
trip was replete with thrilling incidents,
but none more fraught with interest
than his experience inlocating a claim,
literally in the Holy Cross itself. The
mountain derives its name, as every
body knows, from two gulches or fis
sures crossing at right angles on its
bleak and inaccessible face. Dixon had
conceived the idea that there was an
immense mineral deposit at the summit
of the mountain, and formed the project
of pressing to the cross itself and there
locating a claim. The undertaking
seemecT at first full of insurmountable
difficulties. The cross loomed at leftst
a mile and a half beyond the farthest
point to which any prospector had
ventured, and lay almost directly above
an almost perpendicular precipice.
Nevertheless he started on his perilous
journey alone, and carrying simply his
pickax and a few simple tools and pro
visions. From the very first he found
the way almost impassable. Huge can
yons split the country in every direc
tion. These he crossed by lowering
himself down one side with ropes, and
then often by aid Gf notches cut in the
earth, ascend the other. His progress
was never faster than a slow wálk, and
ofttimes simply a crawl. After infinite
perils,' he finally reached the bottom of
a long, precipitous incline leading to
the wished for spot. The cross had
upon near approach lost all semblance
to its appearance at a distance, and
seemed only two long ragged gulches
filled with snow. Toward the foot of
the lowest of these was the point toward
which Dixon pressed. For a time he
managed to progress by crawling on
his hands and knees, and then the cliff
became so extensively steep that he was
obliged to make a long detour in order
to surmount it. Finally, creeping .like
a fly along a slender crevice that barely
offered a foothold on the face of the
precipTce, he reached the foot of the
cross, and to his joy observed the out
cropping of what appeared to be a fine
vein of decomposed quartz carrying
free gold. An instant's inspection sat
isfieuhim that it was a true fissure, and
clinging to a tiny projection of rock he
drove his pick-ax, into the yielding for
mation. Securing a fragment, he al
lowed his pick-ax to fall, and heard it
crash far below- lipon the rocks. He
dared not even, glance into the abyss
that yawned beneath him, but with
averted head crept back. A pound
yielded over sfrtyvounces from the
specimen seciired.'an

"Can you tell me, sir, what effect the
revised Bible is going to have in the
community?" "A salutary effect, I
hope," replied the managing editor.
"But has it been recéived ana adopted
yet?" "Yes, I reckon so. The people
will take it for a substitute for . King
James' edition, and it will soon become
popular." "Now, suppose there was a
law suit, in which some of the witnesses
had been sworn on the old Bible, would
an oath on the new Bible be binding on
the witnesses yet to bo examined?" "I
don't see why not," responded the edi
tor. "Just so. But take the case of a
man wio committed a murder the day
before the new Bible was in operation,
could he repent under the newt Bible?
or must he be hung under the old edi
tion? In other words, can a Bible
operate ex post facto?'1'' "1
should most certainly say
yes to all these propositions."
