4 RESIDENT OF a Montana town
was out hunting recently and as a
storm came up he crept into a hol
low log for shelter. After the storm
abated he endeavoured TO crawl out,
but found that the log had swollen
so that it was impossible to make
his exit. lie endeavorcd to compose
himself as much as possible, but
with Indifferent success. He thought
of all the mean things he had ever
done until finally his mind reverted
to the fact that instead of subsorib-
ing for his local paper he was in the
habit of borrowing it from his neigh
bors and thus defrauding the print
ers. On this, he says, he felt so
small that he slipped ont of the log
without an effort.-Er.

A WRITER from Linden in the
Dodgeyille Chronicle Has the follow
ing to say, which might interest
some of our youth:
q party of young folks Of Miner
al Point passed through this village
last Friday evening, bent on going
10 John Lemons, in tho town Of
Eden, cor bust. They were in
formed here that it was impossible
to get through, as the lanes were all
drifted full of snow, but the girls
said "No, it was a leap year party
aud they were going to go through
if they had to walk and beat track
for the boys" and of they started.
They got about two miles north of
the village, when the horses got
down in the snow and broke of the
tongue Of the conveyance. 1t was
left for the girls to decide what
should be done, and after due con
sideration they decided to march in
single file to the residence Of john
Richards, which was fully half a
mile, and the snow averaging 3 to
feet deep. A party who witnessed
it says it was decidedly "leap"
year party, in fact as well as in name,
to see the girls leaping through the
snow, sometimes up and sometimes
down. All in all, they had rough
time Of 1t. The entire party was
Kept over night by Mr.. Richards,
who reports them 10 be the "boss"
leap year girls Of all he ever met.
They returned via this village early
Saturday morning, and their expires,
sious plainly showed that the printer
need not publish anything in prose
or in poetry especting the beautiful
snow, as far IS they were concerned,
for at least a year 70 come.

Of pay gravel and some Of them have it
good, we will mention Davis, Loid Il Co.,
OF Dream gulch, cleaned up last Saturday
"a ounces with II men and the previous
week 63 ounces and six men. The French
boys, who prevail on Missoula gulch,
cleaned up three pounds of fine loose dus,
in three days run and the bars are doing
well oil along down Pritchard, gravel bars
We mean, not auid extract. Mccormick
gulch is now on the list Of competition
and has good prospects ahead, the boys
say they have il good and in large guam
titles when fairly opened out for work;
Alder also Is one Of the solid gulches to
be depended on in the future. aud mug
get, come to the front smiling to swell
the list Of good things in gravel. The
Widows boys were shut out by high
water and they have gone into the bar
at the mouth Of Gold Run and are now
in shape to swell the volume of good
things and will increase the yield Of dust
largely; and the Last Chance and Butte
composites have run up their drain and
have sls;ce boxes set and they will soon
need .steelyards TO weigh the clean up.
We have PANIED the digyings and picked
some coarse pieces in the ditch often, as
they we're ut work whereof We say, they
have had an expensive, long and tedious
job TO get up their drain ditch and the
work is now done and the boys are going
for il rcd eyed and you can safely bet
they will End it away up fran the pres
ent prospects; 80 Of Reed,r gulch the
boys arc finding good solid inducements
to cheer and encourage the weak backs
and long cherished hopes of the snow
trampers who have beat down seven feet
Of the beautiful all winter. So you see
the camp is sclt.sustaining in the way OF
dust and mineral bullion, when it is fair
y opened up, and don't once forget it,
that old Shoshone county will be the
brightest star in the cluster Of counties

will be heard from soon, as already 100
ounces Of dust has been shipped from
here this spring and We will send it by
bars, pounds and cargoes when fairly open

large difficulties to contend with. Pro-
visions, tools aud everything needed was
