The Wolf Lodge Hines-

Mr.. Z. L. Abrams, Of Wolf Lodge min
lug district, representing Michigan
capitalists, showed us some very fine
rock from their property on Mineral
Ridge, which he will forward to his
company in the east for assay.
Messrs. O'Byen, Moore and Krotzer
have sold their claim to Duluth capital
igts, who have contracted for $500
worth Of development work, which has
already commenced. The purchasers
are very enthusiastic over their pros
pect.
Messrs. Quinn, johnson, Theis and
Clafiin, have bonded their mine for
$1,000 to parties from the east. The
above named gentlemen have bern
working On this claim for the past
three years. Indomitable per-
severance and hard knocks have finally
brought their reward. Well boys We
are glad Of 1t and may you live long to
enjoy the fruits of your honest toll.
The Wolf Lodge mining district is
bound to come to the front. There are
plenty Of prospects in the surrounding
country equally as good as those men
toned above, and little energy, push
and capital, will convert this into a
aourishing and prosperous mining
camp. 1t is certainly to the interest OF
mining men and capitalists to look over
this country.

A bold robbery was perpetrated at
Granite, a station on the Northern Pa
cifc railroad about twenty miles east
Of Rathdrurn, early Sunday morning.
Deputy Sherif, Baldwin went up on the
first train and reports that about
O'Clock q. m, as Mr. Cohn was coming
home, having been out with some
friends to spend the evening, he was nc.
costed by a man as he was unlocking
the front door Of his store, who asked
him whether he had any tobacco for
sale. Mr.. Colin answered in the afr
native, and asked the stranger to step
in. They had scarcely entered the store
when the door opened and eight masked
men made their appearance. Covering
Mr.. COhn with pistols they commanded
him to deliver up the cash.
Mr.. COhn assured them that he had
no money in his possession, and tried to
argue the case with the robbers, but the
spokesman of the party used the con-
yincing arguement of six-shOOter, and
Mr.. C0hn was glad to give up in order
to save his life.
The leader Of the gang presented his
pistol at close range, point blank II the
head of Mr. Cohn, and pulled the trig.
ger. Mr.. COhn at the same moment
jerked his head sideways. He had
narrow escape, as the left side of his
face is badly powder burnt, and the rim
of his hat was torn of by the bullet,
which lodged in the wall of the store.
The robbers secured sl35 in cash,
check for $50 and a Winchester rife
and cOolly walked off.
Deputy Baldwin says that they can
not find trace Of the robbers, as Mr..
COhn was so badly scared that he can
not give the slightest description of the
thieves.

When the British man-of-wa "Hussar,
while carrying the pay for the Kings
troops. which were massed, 112 years ago, in
the vicinity of New London. went down
with all hands in an attempt to make the
He'll Gate passage, the treasure she had on
board amounted to about S., 600, 600, mainly
in British guineas. The sunken gold has
been the source of professional pique and
personal cupidity to many generations of
divers, who 1onged for an opportunity
of showing their skill in their vocation,
and at the same time of sharing in the rich
harvest that lay, IL fathoms deep, awaiting
the reaper. Several futile attempts, how
ever, have been made to reach the treasure,
and in 1866 wrecking company, after a
free use of explosives in the wreck, which
had become almost hopelessly caked with
sand and barnacles, recovered number of
historic relics and quantities of guns, balls,
bullets, f1ints, and some jewelry and little
money. But the bottom of the sea was
pitch dark and the tides were turbulent.
The diver had to work entirely by touch
and was so bafied by the boisterous water
that the enterprise had to be abandoned
like the rest
Another attempt has just been made to
locate the lost gold. The attempt was not
successful, but this time darkness at all
events could not be pleaded as an excuse.
A dredging scow fully equipped with all
the needful machinery was used. The scow
carried also 5O-volt dynamo, the sole duty
of which is to supply current to 33-volt
lamp of 65-candle power, which gives light
to the diver. 1t has a spherical bulb of
especially heavy glass, in order to with
stand the pressure of the water, for it is
used without shield or cover of any kind.
When the diver is ready to descend the en-
gine is set In motion, starting the air pump
and the Dynamo and the flexible conductor
leading to the lamp is paid out with air
tube as it is needed. The conductor is
fastened to the side of the helmet some
three feet from the lamp, so that when it is
not in use, or when the diver needs both
hands for his work, the lamp is simply let
go and floats out of the way above his head
like miniature fire balloon. When it is
wanted again it can be drawn down imme-
diately by the conductor. Divers are de-
lighted with the effectiveness of the arrange
ment, as cheerful light robs their calling
of half its gruesomeness, and they say that
they can now do better, quicker and safer
work than ever before.

Tho Preservation Of Cut Flowers.

The growing of flowers for city markets
has become an important industry, and the
question how best to preserve them in
transit is being much discussed. The Cali
fornia State Floral Society has decided that
the flowers themselves should not be wet,
otherwise they will wilt early. An excel
lent plan is to wrap the stems in wet moss
and cover the flowers with wa1ed paper,
packing them closely. Violets, acacias and
chrvsanthemums are in this way sent sue
cessfully from San Francisco to New York.
One member of the society states that he
sent flowers successfully from California to
Reading, Pa, by inserting the cut stems in
a raw potato and binding carefully; an
other sent moss rosebuds in the
same way to Sante Fe. 1t was also
told that a well-known horticulturist had
sent orange buds in excellent condition all
the way to New York by packing them in
moss dipped in sea water. For the benefit
of the growers of flowers it may be stated
that cabbage leaves, cut potatoes and tur-
nips are efficacious in keeping slugs away
from the roots, and for choice plants, where
exceptional care is required. the application
of soapsuds to the soil is recommended. If
a gardener wishes to bring out the bugs to
the surface all he has to do is to water the
ground with solution of ammonia.

A sEE-sAw OF FISH.

An Old Timer Has to Let One Bass Go In

spectators as it was provoking to the person
most concerned in the affair. Mr.. Bare and
were returning home from trip to the
rifles when we espied Squire Mcneil, an
old veteran fisherman of this place, busily
engaged in fishing for chubs.
AS is his usual custom when out of bait
the Squire had pulled up to grass patch,
leaving his baited hooks trailing out from
the stern of the boat, while he went on
about the business Of securing more bait.
just as we were passing by, at a respectful
distance. and had said good morning and
"what LUCK" two large bass tackled the two
lines and were off before the Squire had
time to wink; whr-r-r-r-r, whr-r-r-r-r-r sang
out the two reels, up got the Squire with a
rod in each hand and trying to keep both
lines taut by a graceful see-saw movement
of the body, which must have been acquired
on the dancing floor years ago.
Well, as matter of course, one rod had
to be dropped; this was done. and the fish
was soon free. The other bass had by this
time sought the kindly shelter of some
rocks, snagging the line badly, and it was
with considerable difficulty that the fish was
finally landed. and found to be two
FOUNDER. The Squire is certain that the
bass lost was by far the larger of the two,
but just why he did not hold on to him he
is not able to explain. We were not near
enough to help the Squire with his fish,
nor were we close enough to hear any sun
illigant" language. The Squire says there
was none used, he didn't have the time.
