glove fight to-day, Queensbury rules,
between Henry Johnson, OF New York,
and Charles Iange, OF Cleveland, backed
by Duncan G. Ross, Black Dia-
mond seconded johnson and Nervine
Thompson did the same duty for Lange.
About thousand people witnessed the
contest. The first round was charac-
terized by fierce fighting. Lange was
knocked down but came back In ten
seconds, when time was called. The
second round was a dead slogging match
and both were punished severely. The
third round was duplicate Of the sec.
ond, except that the star knocked Lange
clear of his feet and some heavy half
arm hitting closed the round. Both
men came to the scratch on the fourth
round well exhausted, but game. Sew
eral passes had been made and johnson
was getting decidedly the better Of his
contestant, when the police jumped into
the ring and called halt and the fight
was decided draw by the referee.

Trees on French Highways.

The planting of trees alorg the public
roads OF France is considered worthy Of
statistical mention. At present the to-
tai length of public roads in France is
1871 miles, of which 1850 are berdered
with trees, while $500 miles are already
being planted, or will shortly be plan ed.
On the remaining 1000 miles the nature
of the soil does not admit of plantations.
The number of trees already planted
amounts to 2,678,603, consisting princi-
pally of elm, poplar, acacia, plane, ash,

The Lava Beds.

Something over two years ago, when
the mines Of this district were first dis
covered, parties returning from there
made what appear d TO be exaggerated
and almost incredible reports regarding
the discoveries made. the immense size
OF the lodges and the richness OF the ore,
&c. None of these reports have abnted.
Many disinterested parties have been
there, and upon their return have
brought with them the same reports.
and many samples of ore, rich in horn
silver and chlorides.
At last il has become an accepted fact
that the mines Of the Lava Beds are OF
great extent and Of great value. and the
whole mining community have been
anxiously watching the operations going
on there towards the development of
| the mines.
1t is almost impossible for the human
mind to conceive what these develop
ments have produced. Mines of inesti-
| mable value, mines of immense size,
mines the ores OF which reach in value
to many millions Of dollars.
There is no exaggeration in this. One
mine alone stands plainly in view for
more than mile in length with width
varying from 20 to 100 feet, with an av-
erage width Of at least 40 feet.
Many places the Groupings reach the
heighth Of 30 feet above the surround
ing surface, and all of this is profitable
milling ore, free from base metals and
easy to reduce. Six locations have been
made on this immense ledge. The course
Of the vein is from northwest to south
east, and it stands nearly vertical.
| The work upon the Morning Star con-
sists principally OF tunnel, which is in
200 feet, and has reached depth OF 20
feet below the surface and 100 feet be-
low the extreme point of the groupings.
On the Meteor, crosscut strikes the
ledge 40 feet below the groupings are in
80 feet, and have not reached the back
wall, have also run from this crosscut
lengthwise on the ledge 25 feet, then
sunk 90 feet, all in good ore. On the
Mammoth Chief, by tunnel, on the south
east end of claim, 10 feet in length, 25
feet below Groupings. At this point the
ledge is from 30 to 40 feet wide.
At the northwest end of the claim
they have run tunnel SO or 60 feet long,
lengthwiss Of ledge, width Of vein 40 to
so feet.
But work enough has been done on
the Desert Queen to represent owner
ship, as the surface rock shows it to be
the same as the others. Working tests
have been made ut various times in or
der to ascertain the average value of the
entire mass of mineral in this immense
ledge, and the poorest of it yields SIG
silver per ton, and the average will not
fall much short of $50. while there is an
abundance that, by little care in the
selection or asserting, can be made to
yield from $3.50 to 5000 per ton. Some
assays have reached as high as $1,000
| per ton.
Two men are now at work sacking ore
for shipment that will work at least
$3.50 per ton-ore that has been taken
out in the work Of development. Col.
Roberts also has several car loads of the
same class Of ore ready for shipment,
taken from the Morning Star.-Calico

A Greeley Story.

HORACE Greeley, although he "took
the papers" was once sought to be vic
timzed at the wcll-worn dropped
pocket-book" game. The man who
picked up the book, rhetoric with bogus
money, right at Mr.. Greeleys feet, was
compelled to go out of town immedi-
ately to his sick wife, and begged the
loan of $50 in advinc of the reward
which would surely be offered
if Mr.. Greeley would keep the
book. Mr.. Greeley consented, and
only saved himself by taking the $50 out
of the book. The man demonstrated.
ut will not do to touch that money"
ho said, "you had better give me $50
out of your own pocket" "Bless my
soul, my FRIEND" ex claimed the innocent
Horace, 81 never carried as much money
as that in my lifel" The man impatient
ly snatched the book out of Mr.. Gree
lcy's hands and lurriedly left to visit his
sick wife.

The Mustang.
Noah Brooks in St. Nicholas |

Noah Brooks in st. Methodist
The wild horse OF America, although
now native to the soil, is dssce ended from
the tribes of wild horses that still rove
the plains Of Central Asia. When the
discoverers Of this continent first landed,
there were no horses anywhere either in
North or South America. Centuries be-
fore the horse had been intro duced into
European countries from Asia, and had
become common all over that continent.
When Columbus arrived here on his
second voysge in 1893, he was accom-
panied by one Cabeza de Vaca, who
brought with him number OF horses,
which were landed in Florida.
Cortsz took horses with him to assist
in the conquest of Mexico, rs did Pizar-
70 in his conquest of Peru. The natives
were affrighted when they beheld these
strange animals. At first they supposed
that the man and the horse were ene
complete creature, something like the
centaur of which we read in ancient
fable. And when they saw the rider dis
mount and disengage himself from his
steed. their amazement knew no bounds.
In time, the savages learned that the
horse was an animal that had been SUBJ
dued by man, and that it was separate
creature; but they long dreaded the
horse of the Spaniards as a beast of
prey. And when the hurses escaped
from their masters, and made their way
into the freedom of the forest, as they
did after space, the natives avoided
them as something to be Stunned. The
quarreling Spaniards neglected their
steeds, which soon found homes on
the plains of Mexico, South America
and the unexplored interior of North
America. From these escaped animals
have sprung the wild horses of America.
The mustang, as the native horse of the
North American Continent is usually
called, is generally a bright chestnut
color. The horses marked with odd
colors and patches are called pinto"
or "painted, by the Mexicans, and
''calieo" by the Americans. The mus.
tang is smaller than the domesticated
American horse, for we must rem smber
that the larger horses now found in our
stables are the direct descendants OF the
later importations from Europe.

Land Measurements.

A handy thing to have on farm is a
measuring cord to measure off acres. To
make one procure sixty-seven feet of
strong rope one inch round, make q
loop or fasten bar at each end and
make these exactly sixty-six feet apart
This is four rods. Then tic piece of
red tag in the center. One acre OF ground
will be piece four of the cords (chains)
long and two and half wide, equal to
l6 by 10 rods, making l60 square rods
to the acre. The advantage of the ring
or loop is that one person can measure
alone by driving stake in the ground
to hold the rope while he stretches it out.
The rope should be soaked in tar and
dried, which will prevent its shrinking
when wet.

A Lost Lake.

Red Fish Lake, on the summit of a
mountain range in Idaho, which had an
area of several miles, and was many
fathoms in depth, has dropped through
the bottom. 1t was 100 feet above the
level of the sea, and surrounded by
dense forests, which rendered it de-
lightful resort in the summer for camp
ing, fishing and boating parties.
When the departure took place it is not
known. The surrounding formation is
granite and limestone, and an immense
fissure has opened whether caused by
separation Of settlers of the earth's sur
face or volcanic action is not known.
The bed of the lake is dry and presents
the appearance Of deep gorge or val
ley of the mountains. The lake has al
ways contained millions of red fish and
been favorite resort for bear, deer and
other game. Where the fish went to is

Rumors of the Retirement of Par.

DUBLIN, April lS.-In the convention
of the Irish National League, held at
Kilkenny, resolution was adopted re-
affirming allegiance to Parnell and the
promise made TO sub.cribe to tie pro-
posed fund for the pay of members of
Parliament. There are rumors of the
early retirement of Parnell from the
leadership of the Irish Nationalist party.
Two reasons for this are assigned, one
that he is tired of Parliamentary life
and the other that the party is wearied
of him. His retirement is obstructed,
however, by his recent acceptance of
fi0, 900 OF the peoples money.
