We learn from a gentleman recently
arrived from Mineral Hill that consid-
cradle prospecting is being carried on
at the English Company's mine. Work
in the Queen tunnel is going forward,
and operations have been commenced
in the TAYLOR tunnel. A shaft was
sunk in the latter some years ago to a
depth of 80 feet, and it WAS then aban-
doned. The water is being baled out
of this shaft. and it will be carried
down a further depth. Several prom
ising srreaks OF quartz have been net
with at various points throughout the
old WORKINGS. but no bodies of ore of
any magnitude. The chOriders are all

ore, which will be- crushed as soon as
opportunity offers.

A friend of ours has a dog, a savage
beast, so ferocious that he keeps him
chained, and warns all visitors not to
approach, for fear that they will be
torn to pieces. Besides his qualities as
a watch dog, he is lsq&npething of a
hunter, and delights ino1Asing rabbits.
his only falling in this direction being
that his brutal instincts lead him to
tear the game to pieces, rendering it
unfit for table use. The owner tool
him down into Diamond Valley, Mon.
day last, and while travelling around
they started up gaunt, lean coyote.
Our friend, in anticipation or some
sport, set his dog in pursuito OF the grey
l'hinael of the desert, and the brute
gave chase, foaming at the mouth, and
imbued with a wild desire to exlermi
nate the coyote from the face of the
earth. The race continued for a quar-
ter of a mile. when the animal turned
upon his pursuer, ami showing a sharp
set of teeth, awaited the savage on
slaught. 1t did not come. The dog
stopped, hesitated, clapped his tail lie
tween his legs, and started on the back
track, the coyote close behind, every
other jump wickedly swapping its jaws
cl"se to the poor canine's rump. They
passed our a>tonished friend at light
ming speed, and disappeared over the
crest OF a bill. going toward town.
How long the ace was kept up, or
whether the coyote chased the dog to
the confines of the town, nobody
knows. One thing is certain: The dog
has lost all his savage instincts, has
acquired a permanent distrust in his
abilities as ii fighter, and allows him
self to be- bullied by every cur in the
vicinity. His master considers that
the dog has. since the coyote chase,
deprecated in value, both as a watch
and hunting dog. and is anxious to get
rid of him at almost any figure.

Did Not rake HIS Meaning.

Sam Davis little story in reference
to shifts has a parallel in an actual con-
versation that occurred at one of our
restaurants some three months ago.
A gallant boarder, who had noticed
the weary look and tired appearance
of the young lady who attended the
private dining roons, alter comuiiser-
ating with her on the arduous nature
of her duties, casually inquired how
often she changed shifts. The young
lady flashed an indignant glance at
him. retreated 10 the door, and flung
back the answer in snapplsh tones:
" AS often as it gets dirty, you brute!"
He swears to this day that she totally
misapprehended the drift OF his in
quiry, and says that he had no desire
to inquire into the mysteries, etc.
