FIVE DOLLARS TO THE PAM
Elliott 4 Hootsn Struck It Big. ).

The true vein just found by Elliott
& Hooten in the Sub. Rosa Ledge
promises to be the richest strike yet
made in the country. They had been
running along on the surface of the
ledge with a good showing Of rock
when they concluded to start tunnel.
A small prospecting tunnel was accor-
dinghy commenced several yards be-
low their former works, and after rum
ming in twenty-five or thirty feet
struck the true vein. Here some OF
the rock was tried and it yielded the
most dazzling results. Repeated tri-
ais were made, each one of which
gave an average of five dollars to the
pan, heavy gold. The width of the
ledge is unknown, as they have not
gone through it; but enough is known
to warrant the belief that Elliott 4
Hooten are the luckiest men in Idaho
Territory, and that years of toll and
patience have at last brought their re
ward. Any one is at liberty to &C
and test the richness of the ledge, anc
many are doing so. This strike has
created the widest excitement among
the quartz men, and in fact among TIM
whole people; and those not already
out are going in search of quartz red
eyed and rcd hot with golden expec
tations. Three cheers for the Sub Ro
sa!

CAn.-Thcrc are millions Of boot,jacks

iectcd from back windows at the playful
cat every year in the United States alone !;
vet whoever killed one in that manner, or
saw one that had been killed through such
means Of warfare. But cats are drowned,
though. and nobody knows who does it.
Cats are frequently supposed to be killed
that. somehow. come around all right when
least expected; and drowning, which is
never accomplished without the aid of a
string and brick, is always resorted to be-
cause it is the only sure way of preventing
a return. There are forty-threc cats, old
and young, floating around in the water
near the courthouse, each anchored to a
brick, and awaiting fair breeze to waf,
them to realms beyond the skies, or some
where else.

the muzzle of a revolver, and, thinking
that he was called for, he tried to pray, but
conldn't; then he endeavored to get up and
RIM but he couldn't do that. A guilty con-
science makes towards ofus all. All the old
hens that had mystcriously disappeared at
tho stable fluttered past his vision in rapid
succession, and he thought rctributive JUS
