Humor has it that a day or two ago the worthy Inspector of Mines visited a claim worked entirely by Hamiltonians. By virtue of the powers of his office, he pointed out that a set of timber was not safe. •• What the blank does a reporter know about a set of timber ? " ejaculated an irate grower of turnips. "Mac' 1 explained who he was, and great was the tribulation of the Hamikonians.

The first iime Tommy went out surveying with his bran new set o? instruments, he couldn't get his compass to " gee " at all. It pe>\sisi.ed in wandering round the card, &nd Tommy was nearly distracted when he discovered t^at his " specs '•' and a steel watch guavd was the cause of the eccentricity of the needle.
