She Sampled It.

One very warm night last summer
| happened to be standing in the back
yard of a representative rookery in
Clubbcr alley near an old chicken
coop. The moon was shining upon
the coop, and as stood in the shadow
of the house noticed the head of a
gray and griZzled rat thrust from a
neighboring rathole, and concluded to
watch the movements Of the veteran.
After careful survey of the surround
ings, the old rodent made a cautious
exit from the home retreat and moved
cautiously to pan of water standing
near. Presently five half grown young
ones rushed out and raced to SEQ which
was the first to the water. The old
rodent seemed much alarmed, and,
with bound, leaped to the edge
of the pan, "aised herself on her
launches and bit and scratched at her
offspring whenever they attempted to
reach the pan. Presently l learned
the reason of the mother rats actions
After she had succeeded in chasing
the young ones back into their hole,
she wet her whiskers in the water,
looked rather silspiciously about, and
slipped the water very cautiously, as if
to learn whether or not it contained
poisonous Or deleterious matter Then,
after a satisfied glance all round she
gave squeak, and the five young rats
came running out and all drank their
ill. The noise of the sergeants club
At the corner Of the house frightened
them off and fhad to go.-St. Louis

ORC FINO DISTRICT.

A recent arrival from this district in
forms us that tho work on all the mines
is progressing most satisfactorily. On
the Ruby and American claims a vast
amount of surface work has been done,
and at present they are timbering the
shaft. and contract has been let for
sinking so feet further, when they expect
10 strike the vein. The shaft will be
sunk about 200 feet before they cross
cut. Timbers are being framed for the
gallows-frame and machinery will be on
hand for the hoist as soon as needed.
At the Mountain Lion operations are
going ahead with the usual good results.
They have now attained depth in the
shaft of 200 feet, and are crosscutting
to the vein. They are sinking in coun-
try rock.
At distance of about 700 feet in the
tunnel on the Mountain Rat all the men
were obliged to discontinue work on ac-
count of bad air, and further operations
will cease until an air compressor is put
to work, and this will be done as soon as
possible.
At the Champion, the ore body in the
mine is increasing in width all the time
as the work proceeds. Shipments are
being made right ;loag. The company
still have $4,000 in the treasury to be
used in the developing work.

GRANITE MOUNTAIN.

0nAN1AG I0OONIA1N.
The output for the week ending July
4 was 81 bars of bullion, containing
s., ,419 ounces silver and 159.49 ounces
gold.
Last Wednesday the Granite Noun
tain Mining company declared their
regular monthly dividend of SO cents a
share, and also an extra dividend of 25
cents. both OF which are payable July 10.
This is virtually dividend of 100000
or Is cents share, and brings the total
amount paid by this company to date up
to s6,700.000, and s1,3OO,0OO since
January last. This is a specimen of
what the greatest silver mine in the
world can do, and what's more, the
great Granite can and will keep it up
for years to come. If there is mine in
the world that can beat this showing, we
would like to hear of it. They have but
fairly got to work with their new milling
plant at Rumsey, and when things get
running down to fine point (Which
Superintendent Weir says is the case at
presently the dividends will exceed the
above-or at any rate keep up regular
IS cent dividend, or 100000 per month.
This means a dividend of $3,6OO,OOO a
year, which on 100000 shares gives an an
nual dividend of 50 per share. Truly

The Granite company are in receipt of
a new pump which has working
capacity of 1000 gallons per Minute, and
which will be placed in the mlne at

a Pleasant Punishment,

have among my acquaintance a
young lady who teaches school in the
primary grade. She has lot Of lit
tie ones under her care, and she has
prided herself on her discipline and
the excellent order she was able to
maintain. The other day she started
to leave the schoolroom for a mo-
ment and had only just reached the
door when she was startled by a great
laugh which came from the whole
school room. She turned and looked
at her scholars in anazement, and the
thought flashed over her that maybe
there was something on her back or
that portion of her skirt drapery had
become disarranged. But she faced
the school and speedily subdued the
numerous lingering snickers.
''Whoever caused that laugh will
please stand up. insist upon tat
once"
She meant business, and the little
tots all saw it. Nobody moved for
about a minute, and then a little
brown eyed boy of I years, who sat
behind pretty little golden haired
miss of E, tremhlingly stood up.
The teacher looked at him in aston
ishment He was one of her pets
Johnny, what did you do to make
the whole school laugh like that2"
Il - kissed Lilly Seton," hesi-
tatingly confessed the youngster, with
shy glance at the golden curls and
the blushing face bent low over a
primer.
II could hardly keep my own face
straight" said the teacher, when tell
ing about it, but summoned up all
the severity l could muster and order
ed them both to stay in after school to
be punished
l asked how she punished them.
Il made them kiss each other
again." she declared, triunphantly,
and | enjoyed it immensely. So did
they. ."-Chicago Mail.

Back Alley ScraD.

One Of the most shameful and dis
graceful scenes that has been enacted in
the Burg for many months was that
which took place on Society avenue last
Saturday evening about 7 o'clock when
free-for-al] fight ensued, between the
chippies and pinkies and others. The
trouble arose from the fact that a man
| from Granite called one of the SUM-
burnt lassies black something, where
upon her male attendant proceeded to
knock him out, and from the appearance
of the man few moments later it was
quite evident that he accomplished his
undertaking and had kicked the man in
the face until it greatly resembled a
piece of raw beef-steak. He was laid
out in the alley covered with gore and
remained insensible for some time In
the meantime his friend had come to his
assistance but was held at bay by the
girls who used beer bottles, clubs, etc.
Seeing that they were too much for him
he took to his heels and being a fair
runner, escaped without injury. Five of
the contestants were arrested soon after
and lodged in jail and on Sunday morn
ing when arrayed in Bateman's court
they one and all pleaded guilty to dis
orderly conduct, disturbing the peace,
assault and battery, etc, and the Judge
very wirely imposed the following fines:
Harry A. Lansberry, who acted as
thumper for the girls. was given sixty
days in the county jail,and fined $25 and
costs. He will board it all out with the
county. Hazel Kirke, Mamie Turner
and Frank Merritt we're each fined s25
and costs of the court, and NJ. H. Law
son, who got the worst of the fight, was
fined $40 and costs, The entire sum
amounted to s19S, which ought to teach
these people a good lesson, and We hope
it may have the effect to cause less of
such disturbances among them. All ex-
cept the first named paid their fines.
When they left the courtroom the Judge
did not ask them to come again, but
they may receive an invitation at any
time unless they behave themselves.
The postofice will be open to-day be
tween the hours of 8 and 10 in the
morning and from to 6 IN the evening. |
The four men who were arrested for
assault and battery on W. S. O'Brien at
Rumsey, were tried in Justice Shull's |
court last Thursday and all were acquit-
ted. The Judge tho1ght that they were
not guilty of the charge, as the only as
sault made was in turning hose on Mr..
O'Brien after they had piled dirt upon
him, and the Judge evidently considered
that they acted very generously in wash
ng the dirt. off after it. having been
piled on.

! number who rarely attend dances will
be on hand at the Fourth of July ball.
As there has been but little OF this
character of amusement INDUCED in
lately, that is another reason why a
large turnout should be expected.
Everybody is going, at any rate.
Marshal Bradshaw will lead the pro-
cession in zig gag or winding manner
through the streets IN town and those in
line will take note and act accordingly.
The marshal will have aids who will see
that the order is obeyed and the pleas
ing effect will be carried out. It will
look much better than marching straight
down like funeral procession and will
be quite novelty.
Taken altogether the day will be cele-
brated IN creditable manner and
business will be almost suspended.
The names and position of the Philips
burg nine in to-day's game is as follows:
VIM. Quivey-Catcher.
n. Connolly-Pitcher.
J. Reynolds-1st Base.
T. Crowley-2nd Base.
J. Argall-3rd Base.
F. Bieley-Short-stop.
F. Smith-Left field.
Mr.. Pasquill- Centre field.
D. P1zer-Rignt field.
One OF the most interesting features
OF to-days programme will be the game
OF ball between the Rumsey and Bi-
Metallic mill boys, which will be played
On the home grounds just south of town
The boys are very anxious to win on
both sides, and the game will be hotly
contested. The game will be called at
II o'clock.
The residents throughout the valley
can reach the Burg in plenty of time for
the celebration by coming up on the
tram which arrives here at l o'clock, as
but little except the parade will take
place previous to that time Come one,
come all.
Most Of the business houses, except
the saloons, will be closed to-day, giving
all an opportunity to join in the parade
at $50 a. m.
The Bi-Metallic baseball club consists
of the following, but we are unable to
give the positions: o. J. Quivey, Jno.
Adams, Henry Jones, W. H. Townsend,
I. W. Kerrigan, Fred Belly, c. F. Lee,
NJ. Llewellyn, o. j. Amble.
VIM. Bradshaw busted himself all day
Wednesday with his team and men, pre-
pairing picnic ground for the children
near the race track, and Immediately
after the parade the car of state with
the little ones will proceed to the
grounds where refreshments will await
their coming. The idea is a good one
and will afford much pleasure to the
children, us the speaking and reading
will be of but little interest to them.
