Montana Animals.

Mr.. John Sinclair, of Great Falls,
is putting in a complete collection
of the animals of Montana for the
Chicago expedition says the Mon
tana Mining Review. A grand old
elk, with his five foot antlers, is now
king Of the extensive menagerie,
but when the moose and buffalo take
their places he may lose his crown.
Already put on this fine collection
are the elk, black-tail and Whitehall
deer, antelope, mountain sheep,
mountain goat, cinnamon and black
beara, mountain lion, lynx, buffalo,
gray and prairie wolf, otter, beaver,
porcupine, skunk, prairie dog, five
kinds of hares, marmonts and SPUR
rels, mountain rats, tortoises and
foxes and others. This collection
also has a fine display of birds.
There is a fine flock Of swans, into
which are admitted a pelican, a crane
larger and finer than any Audubon
or Baird described. There are also
the golden eagle, bald eagle, goose.
brant, northern diver, curlew, mag.
pie, pheasant, grouse and quail in
great variety. This collection will
be made complete and sent to the
fair with the natives, who lived with
| them before the white man came.

unable to do so.
The reporter saw Oh Investigating
that a large snake was stretched out
under the bush, with It's head erect,
and small. beadlike eyes cast full upon
the frightened bird. He stopped to
pick up a stone. and the motion caused
the snake to crawl away in the high
weeds. The bird ceased tluttering for
a moment. and the reporter r~etreated
across the road to watch proceedings
from a distance.
Tho bird seemed to recover its self
possession, and began hopping about
among the branches. When it had
reached one Of the lower branches it
suddenly stopped, began uttering the
peculiar sound as before, and then
hoped to the ground. 1t was evident
that the snake had returned, and the
bird, which evidently saw it also. made
the effort TO escape before the serpent
had again woven the spell around it.
As soon as the snake saw the bird
alight on the ground it coiled itself up
in a small knot and sprang at the bird.
The calculation failed, and the bird,
with wings extended, hoped along the
bare road. holding its head erect, and
with bill opened wide continued to
make the screeching noise. louder and
more plaintively than before. The
snake crawled after it's intended vic
tim, which "a too badly frightened to
increase its speed, and too much over
come with fatigue to use its wings. The
reporter tried to kill the snake.
When the bird saw him raise his
hand it turned sharply away and raj
up the sand bank and was lost from
sight in the field. The snake continued
its chase until lie threw the stone, which
fell wide of its mark. Then, when
almost half way up the incline, it
stopped. opened wide its mouth. and
began pointing its forked tongue at him.
The reporter returned within a few feet
of it, when It lowered its head and fiat
tened out until several inches of it's
body looked like dark mottled ribbon.
Before It could spring the reporter cut

three feet.
The assistant superintendent said the
snake was of the poisonous flat headed
adder species, much feared in that

more to the yaluc .! the property,
placing it in line with the Granite
Mountain, Elkhorn. and BIZ Metallic.
Consolidated California & Virginia
was again the only Comstock mine
to declare a dividend. Its total for
the year was $4,000, against
100000 in 1890.
In California the Kennedy paid
the largest dividend, showing a very
great increase over its payments in
1890. OF the other gold mines of
the state the famous old Idaho
and the Champion paid increased
amounts, while several companies
appear in the list for the first time.
The Alaska Treadwell Gold Min
ing company, of Alaska, paid $780,
600. The Homestake, of Dakota,
paid s15O,OOO, the same amount as
in 1890; but the dividends in 1891
we're at the rate of but 1919 per cent
on the average market value during
the year, against 12.4 per cent in
1890.
Summarizing the foregoing, it
would appear that the investor in
Lake Superior copper mines is salts
fed with a return of from eight per
cent to 8.5 per cent on his money.
These mines have long records as
steady dividend payers, they are
located on wonderfully strong and
uniform lodes; and they are opened
a long way ahead; so that the prime
point of consideration, with respect
to their immediate value, is the price
of the copper. 1t is impossible to
make comparisons between the Butte
copper mines and those. Of Lake
Superior, as Boston & Montana is
the only n Of the former that fur
nishes data, the shares of the Parrot
not being listed on exchange. Turn
ing to the silver mines, the Ontario
4 DAILY, Granite Mountain and BIZ
Metallic constitute a distinct group,
the mines being of similar character
and the shares of the companies be-
ing held almost entirely as invest
ments. All are located upon strong,
we'll defined fssure veins, mineral
lied in rich, strong and continuous
chutes; all have been steady divi-
dend payers since they were opened;
all are we'll explored, and have large
ore reserves. The dividend rates of
these companies for the past three
years have agreed very closely, rang
ing between II per cent and IS per
cent, and these limits may be taken
as the return expected from invest
ments in these stocks, and stocks of
similar character. It is difficult to
make further classification, the divi-
dends paid by other mines ranging
from n per cent to 40 per cent.
The conclusion to be arrived at from
these data is clearly that Legitimate
mining is an extremely profitable
Observation-Disclosures.
