An Immense Snake Skin.

The skin shed by rattlesnake
which was found on the bank OF
the Illinois river, and is now
preserved at the boys seminary at Tab
lequah, in the Indian Territory. meas
ured thirteen feet long, is fourteen and
seven-eighths inches in circumference,
and has fifteen buttons. The person
who has examined, measured, and re-
ports upon it, says that it is very dry
skin, and therefore assumes that it
probably shrunk considerably in drying,
but this is not so. as the skin of snake
is thoroughly dry when shed, and con-
sequently represents the full size of the
snake. At any rate, this one is big
enough without claiming any such
allowance, and represents . poisoning
power which it would take at least .

and while there she confided to me her
melancholy story. The man who muir
dered her is her husband. He is gam
bier. He made her young life misera-
sble-treated her like dog. She was
beautiful as you can see now. Driven
to despair by his cruelty, she listened
to the persuasions of . man who had
known and loved her before her mar
riage with this fellow, and finally fed
with him to q distant State. Her old
love for this brute returning, and per
haps the desire to see her children again,
she returned and sought forgiveness
Few know what she has suffered; few
know what good she has accomplished
To those who did not know her she was
woman of mystery, and her somber
habiliments, her visits to the sick, her
vigils by the dead, her hidden life
aroused the fear and superstition of the
ignorant She has kept as close to this
man as she could for two years past, for
he had hidden away her two children
and she doubtless hoped to obtain from
him some information of them. Besides,
as said. she loved him. 1t is strange
tale of sin and suffering and love and

STRIKE IN rnE oor.D Hlla..

d. X. Dealy, foreman Of the Gold
Hin mine, owned by the Pine Grove
Mining Company of st. Louis,
writes few lines to the BULLETIN
saying that they had cut big and
rich ledge in the lower tunnel Of
the Gold Hill, at depth of 500
feet. 1t is four feet wide and all
high grade ore, running from 800
upward to the ton. Mr.. Dealy
thinks the point where they made
this strike is nearly underneath the
shaft sunk last winter.
The Pine Grove Company al
lowed its mill and mines TO be sold
for taxes (subject to redemption of
course) and since then attachments
to the extent Of ~, 5sl.25, for labor,
have been placed upon the prop
erty. This recent development will
doubtless cause the owners of the
mine and mill to redeem the prop
erty sold for taxes, pay off its la
borers and make new start for the
hidden wealth in their claims.
Good management will yet bring
the Gold Hill to the front as a reg
ular gold producer.

TWO MIC DISCOVERIES.

The erowning event Of the week
has been the rich discoveries made
in the Republic and the Lost Lode
mineE.
Eugene Lison, the owner Of the
Republic lode claim, the eastern
extension Of the 0phir, has encoun-
tered in the eross-cut recently
driven, about six feet Of 800 rock.
The vein is well defined and gives
every evidence of permanency.
This, together with the develop
nents on the western extension Of
the ophir, prove beyond a doubt
the absolute continuity of the vein
for at least 1000 feet.
The owners of the Lost Lode, the
western extension Of the Queen Bcss
mine, have also abundant cause for
rejoicing. at once was lost, but
now il is found" is the latest refrain
of John Patterson. Ten feet Of $50
ore he voluntarily swears to, and
with slight urging very readily in
creases the width of the lode to Is
feet, and the value of the quartz in
proportion. The owners Of the
Queen Bess naturally feel much
elated over Patterson's success, and
it is in truth a cause for mutual
congratulations.
The reward for pluck and hard
work in the above instances is well
merited, and these new discov-
cries will help to swell the min
ing boom that is sure to strike
Rocky Bar early in the coming
summer.
