and very simple method OF training VI
eious horses wos exhibited at West Phil
adelphia recently, and the manner in
which some of the widest horses were
subdued was astonishing The first trial
was that of kicking Or "bucking" mare,
which her owner said had allowed no
rider on her back for period of five
years. She became tame in about as
many minutes, and allowed herself to be
ridden about without sign of her former
wildness. The means by which the re-
suit was accomplished was piece of light
rope which was passed around the front
of the jaw of the mare just above the
upper teeth and then secured to the back
of the neck. 1t was claimed that no
horse will kick or jump when thus Sc
cured, and that a horse after receiving
the treatment few time will abandon
his vicious ways forever. A very simple
method was also shown by which kick
ing horse could be shod. It consisted in
connecting the animals head and tail by
means of rope fastened to the tail and
then to the bit, and then drawn tightly
enough to incline the animals head to
one side. This it is seen claimed makes
it absolutely impossible for the horse to
kick on the side of the rope. At the
same exhibition horse. which for many
years had to be bound on the ground to be
shod, suffered the blacksmith to operate
on him without attempting to kick,
while secured in the manner described.
4 WOODEN. STONE HoUsE.-Such q
thing as a ''wooden.s tone" house may
sound strange to the reader, but
there is such . house in this county.
Down in southern part OF the county,
near the Arizona line, and a short way
above the mouth Of the Grand Canyon of
the Colorado, where i. considerable petr.
fed wood, there being large petrified logs
lying on the ground. The cabin is six
feet high and the interior is ks feet 1t
is built in the side Of the hill, only por.
ton of the side of the cabin and the front
being exposed to view. This cabin was
erected by desperate and cattle thief,
who some thirteen years ago devoted his
spare time to driving cattle from the
ranges of southern Utah over into Cali
fornia, where the stolen stock was
disposed Of, and was sought by him as a
place OF safety when pursued too closely
by the enraged people whom he had been
robbing. The house is built over a
small spring. This is very likely the
only house in the world built ont of pet
rified wood.
PATTERSON DISTRICT. have had
grave doubts as to the truthfulness of the
reports in regard to the rich ore that has
heen uncovered in old Patterson Distaict,
in the northern part of the county, but
such really appears to be the case. The
mine owned by Matthewson & Flower is
yielding some fabulously rich ore. Nine
tons were shipped over to Frisco, Utah
during the week, and there are ten tons
more awaiting shipment. They have 8
lot OF three tons, sorted from eighteen
tons, that they expect will work 81, 30(
and upwards. The Gray Eagle mine
owned by Doc Clay, ia reported to con
tain exceedingly rich ore. If one-half o
what we hear in regard to Patterson il
correct, there will be considerable sti
and the old abandoned district will b'
reinhabited.
We heard party growing about SOM
of the county officials not doing thei
duty, and that very person worked TO

those people here who signed all tn
petitions presented them to sign, to eX
pedte the mail facilities of this section
knowing full well that it was a thievin
job gotten up, then howls about Con
gressmen, Government officials, etc., say
ing that they are robbing the public.
