OTHER MINING OTES.

A meeting of the directors of the
Queen was held yesterday at the Frisco
and a orist of business was rtlI through.
1t was decided to put on men 10 cross
cut from the Queen tunnel to the o.
Bricn vein which is about goo feet o
the west. 1t was also decided to CON
tinue the lower drift, at the 100, to the
north. Returns are not yet in on the
test car of ore sent to Park city, but the
feasibility of building and operating a
mill was discussed it is practically deci-
ded to build one before winter.
There were present the Conrad Bros,
w. G. and c. f., c. p. Downing and c.
L. Parker. These cntcrprising men de-
spite the deprecated value of silver are
decided to continue with vigor the de-
velopement of this mine. 1t is one of

Owls and Farm erS.

Many years ago Gilbert White de-
scribed the barn owl beating the
fields like a setter dog, ever and
again dropping into the grass or
corn when a rat, mouse, vOle or
shrew was caught sight of, though,
as this species, unless disturbed, will
seldom leave its retreat until after
sunset, it's usefulness is not generally
observed. The snowy owl (Nyctea
scandica) in America may be OBJ
served sitting for hours on the sum
NIT of a tree, swooping down every
now and again on a mouse, the base
of the stump being after a few days
of this sport Uttered with the little
pelts and bones of its quarry.
Waterton was also indignant at
the farmers blaming the barn owl
for destroying the eggs Of pigeons,
the rats, to which it is an enemy,
being the real offenders.
Hawks are, however, not blame
less as regards pigeons and birds
even more sacred. But some of the
species of occipitres, the kestrel
among others, feed more upon mice
than upon birds. Edinburgh Scots

Il once prevented the Prince of Wales
getting ingloriously thrashed by a pie
beian New York barkeeper," said Rich
ard Doolittle, a retired New York mer-
chant. when the prince visited Amer
lea he was a very wild young man, and
he had no difficulty in finding plenty of
young swells on this side who could go
his gait. One night the prince and a
party of bloods started out to see the
elephant, and the spectacle made them
pretty dizzy. They got separated, and
the heir to Britain's throne wandered,
unattended, into a down town resort
and proceeded to make things pretty
lively. The bartender started in to
squelch him, and would have done so
effectually had l not taken charge of the
roisterer and piloted him back to his
party."-St. Louis Dispatch.

his brow nervously and choking down
the emotion that impeded his u%tteraace.

The End Of a SharpshOOter.

1.-THE best rife shot l ever saw was an
east Tennessean who acted ss scout for
the Army Of the Cumberland" said Ma
jor r. B. Baer. His name was Brownlow.
but whether he was a relative of the
fighting parson of that name | do not
know. Brownlow wa5 q tall, lank speci-
men Of humanity and looked like a typ
ical frontiersman. He wore a coonskin
cap and carried a rifle a foot longer than
himself, with which he could put half
an ounce of lead squarely between a
mans eyes at a distance of nearly half a
mile. He fought for sheer love of it,
was always hunting for victims and
used to boast that he averaged a dozen
dead Confederates a week. He hung on
the enemy's picket lines night and day,
and when old Tom,' as he called his
lingering eternity of a gun, cracked there
was certain to be a death.
Zone day during a sharp skirmish
Brownlow ensconsced himself in a big
cottonwood tree, and was dropping Con-
federates as fast as he could feed bull
lets to old Tom,' when a Mississippi
sharpshOoter made a sneak for another
tall cottonwood about 900 yards distant.
The Tennesseean spied him; there were
two puffs of smoke from among the
green leaves and the two killers came
down head first. with their long deer
rifles rafting after them."-St. Louis

A Big Thread.

There is a good story of George Will
liam Curtis which seems never to have
been published. He was lecturing on a
Buffalo stage once, when suddenly a
heavy rope somehow broke loose from
its moorings in the flies above and
dropped with a tremendous thud to the
floor behind the speaker. Mr.. Curtis
looked around i'll mild surprise to see
what had happened; then, turning to
the alarmed audience again, said, with a
twinkle in his eye, "Ah, that must have
been the thread of my discourse"
Somebody on a front seat caught the
joke first and broke out in a chuckle,
which instantly developed into a roar of
laughter from the whole house. 1t was
a good many minutes before the thread
of that discourse could be resumed

And the Wind.

Every town has its curiOsities or freaks
of nature, and Neihart is no exception.
Some cranks imagine that they hold
high positions, Others that they closely
resemble COrbett, but all like the frog In
the fable that wanted to become as big
as a COW and proceeded to puff himself
up with wind, will share a similar fate
and burst.-The Neihart Miner office
contains a crank of the highest order,
who the other day declared on the public
street that physically, mentally or NOR
ally he was a match for any man in Mel
hart. Our readers, who have pounded
the drill for years, would better take
care how they talk to the aforesaid
GRANDEUR college graduates and pro-
f%essional men would better not enter III
controversy with him, for he will at once
din mud for his mental sink hole and
besmear them. And all We %law-abiding,
church-going citizens, look out for the
eagle eye" Of the moral Duffy. Had
he used the Word spiritually, we would
agree with him, but morally, no! no,
what sarcasm. Had he quoted it cor

Locomotives In a Tug-Of-W War,

Owing to a dispute as to who should
use the switch first, the crews of two
trains that met at the Third street cross
ing of the North Penn railroad institut-
ed a novel pushing match Monday
which may cost them their situations.
Both engines were shutters and each
had about a dozen cars attached. They
met with Il slight bump at the switch,
and after an exchange of warm words
each opened his throttle intending to
push the other hack. Both the engines
snorted and pulled, while sparks flew
from their rapidly revolving wheels.
For several minutes neither budged an
inch. Finally the comeback was forced
to give way.-Cor. Philadelphia Record.
