How Coyotes Hunt.

Ben Curler relates that while out
on his recent deer hunting trip he
witnessed the manner in which coy
otes catch rabbit. He was sitting
on pile of rocks overlooking little
valley possibly a mile across stalking
a drove of deer which was expected to
issue through narrow ravine near by,
when his attention was called to two
little objects which dashed over the
brow of hill and into valley nearly
mile away. Looking through his
field glass he deserted them to be coy
otes in full chase of a jack rabbit.
The rabbit was about fifty yards in
the lead and was covering the earth as
only jack rabbit can-excepting a
coyote. By and by one Of the coyotes
laid down. The other followed the
fleeing hare, and in the course of
time succeeded in turning him back on
his course towards the one lying down.
When the rabbit came near this one
raised up and took up the chase,
while the other laid down. The unfor-
t,lnate rabbit was again successfully
turned back, and the first coyote again
gave chase. The third time worked
the charm, and bunny, conscious only
of the foe pursuing, passed so near
his crouching antagonist that he was
seized. -Reno Journal.

Charley Wisel Looks Lib Q q Rich Man.
An interview with Charley Wisel by
a N. Y. World reporter is published
in a late issue of the s. L. Tribune.
Everybody in White Pine County
knows Charley, and we would publish
the article in full, were it not that
much of the mater was published in
the news some too years ago in a let
ter direct from China. But here it
what the world says of Mr.. Wisel
present status:
About two weeks ago Wisel return
ed to America, arriving at New York
City, and he now looks like one who
has acquired aff1uence at the expense
of hardship and privation. His attire
is that of man of wealth, his man.
ner that of one who has travelled much,
his face is weather beaten and his figure
is that of an athlete-muscular, broad
and straight as an arrow.
Wisel has been through all his ap-
pearence indicates. He has acquired
his fortune by hard toll in wild, un-
settled lands, among uncivilized peo-
ple, surrounded by fever and to all the
dangers that threaten the traveller in
countries inhabited by unenlightened,
barbarous people.
The Robinson Gold Mining Com
nanv. is near Johannesburg, South
Africa, the name of the concern IN
which Wisel is concerned. The mines
operated by it yield from $4,000 to
is 900 ounces of gold per month.

THEDnADLY ..POGONIP.,.
A Fine Description OF the Terrible
Though Beautiful FrOss.

Fins Description OF the Terrible
Though Beautiful FrOss.
G. A. Norcross of Reno, in an arti-
Gle in the Washington Post describing
the deadly .'pogonip" frost, says:
The word "pogonip" is not found
in any lexicon. It is an Indian word
of the Piute tribe, adopted provincial
ly by the whites and signifies rare
frost that occurs at infrequent inter-
walls in Nevada. In no other section
of the world 80 far as known, is there
such frost as the pogonip." In the
Piute dialect the word is said to mean
"white-frost-tha
Rarely, only the fpogonip" frost
occurs in the day time, then in the
early morning. Its usual time of hap
pening is at night-the coolest night
of winter, when there is not so much
as breath of wind stirring, and not
q cloud to obscure sky of intensest
azure.
Softly and steadily the stars which
have been shining with unrivaled,
splendor, fade to mere glimmering
points in milky atmosphere. The
moons bright glories disappear, and
like great glowing ball she hangs in
the misty armament. The mountains
which short time before revealed
their grandeur of crag and wood with
sharp indefniteness as though they
were span from the eye, now are but
shadowy outlines fast melting into
haze.
Slowly the horizon nearsyou. You
become the centre of a little narrow
ing world that spreads out as you move
forward, yet follows your receeding
figure. It is not fog that surrounds
you, for it is not damp, but dry and
glittering. It is an atmosphere of
floating frost crystals, that pierce and
prick and freeze you like so many ice
daggers. Breathing becomes labored
and difficult Each inhalation causes
exquisite pains to dart through the
heart and lungs, as though the tiny
frost-spears were decorating delicate
membranes.
The frost-fog is deadly, it is said,
causing after time a numbness of the
organs until at length the victim sinks
down unconscious from an overpower-
ing lassitude, and, unless help speedily
comes, will die. The Indians never
leave their campfres during the pogo
nip and not for hours after, until the
suns rays have melted and scattered
the barbed arrows of the frost.
One of the most beautiful sights to
be witnessed is the after effects of a
"pogonip." The earth glistens with
a frosting of dazzling crystals to the
depth of half an inch or more. Each
separate crystal is a fern-like blade
that dashes back the sunlight from
it's surface with diamond-like splen-
dor and brilliancy that no eye can
Withstand. Every clod is robed in
the crystalline vestment. Every tree
and bush and grass stem is thing of
celestial beauty. The scene is not a
part of this planet, but the landscape
of another cline, of loneliness and
purity indescribable. You move in a
world of crystal, unnatural, strange
yet so supernally beautiful that it is
not difficult to imagine yourself wan
dering in the midst of frozen para
lise.

ACTION AT sCHELLBOURNE.
Salt Lake Capitaiiats Taking Hold Of
Gold Claims There.

Gold Claims There.
Mr.. Frank Burke, the newspaper
writer, contributes the following to
the Salt Lake Tribune of recent date
on the improved prospects for She'll
bourne District.
Schellbourne, once the bonanza
camp of Nevada, has been rather dull
for some years. Now however, Mr..
William Burke, who has never lost
faith in the camp, has succeeded in
interesting some Salt Lake capitalists
in a group of properties here and when
the buds and blossoms open out in the
spring, work will be pushed. Some
splendid ore has been recently uncov-
cred in the Ontario, one of the proper
ties owned by the Burke Company.
A shaft was sunk thirty feet on the
vein, which is contact between lime
and porphyry. A chimney of rich ore
was followed which dips at an angle
of 30 degrees. From the bottom of
the shaft drift has been driven for
% feet. Only the assessment has been
done this year, but as stated the COM
pany expects to do considerable devel-
opment in the Spring. The rich
streak in the Ontario was fourteen in
ches when first found, but when fol-
lowed eight feet widened to sixty
inches. The ore is quartz, showing
black sulphates, and going $40 to $40
gold and several hundred dollars in
silver.
The Kalkowa, owned by the same
company, is on the same belt, and is
an immense contact vein, fully thirty
feet wide. An open cut exposed the
vein, which is between shale and lime.
The cut is all the way in $40 ore.
Assays show a value of IS to 5000 in
gold and silver.
North of and near the wagon road
is the Burke mine, owned by M. II.
Cochrane and E. HI. Hyatt. The main
tunnel on this claim is in ITO feet, and
shows nice vein at the face. The
ore is brittle silver, black sulphate and
bromide, very rich in silver, with some
gold. Messrs. Cochrane and Hyatt
own three other claims adjoining this
making a valuable group. On the
Burke ground is where the very rich,
float was found in II. That float as
sayed all the way from $4,000 to $40,
900 per ton. Professor Clayton, the
noted mineralogist, superintended
mining operations here for some time,
in the palmy days of the camp. The
learned professor has always been con
sidered one of the best authorities on
mineral bearing formation in the coun
try, and it is well-authenticated fact
that he considered Schellbourne one o.
the best best camps in the West.
The Woodstock, on Queen Springs
Hill, is one of the group owned by
the newly incorporated Burke com
pany, and is fine property. Mr..
Cochrane, who is an old and practical
miner, considers the Woodstock one
of the most promising claims in the
State.
When railroad is built through
this portion of Nevada, which is al
most sure to be done next season, this
camp will take it's place as one of the
richest producing camps in the whole
country. The people who have incor-
porated with William Burke are am
ply able to develop the properties in
which they are interested, and they
will surely do so.

A POPULAR GOVERNOR

The GAZETTE has already stated
that Gov. Nelson would be the most
popular governor since the days of
Gov. Davis. Springing from the
masses, he prefers their respect and
companionship that the wealth and
aristocracy catered to by Bill Merri-
am. That these statements are true,
Editor Hays, of the Sleepy Eye Dis
patch, who has recently visited the
Governor, furnishes abundant proof:
There is one thing certain and that
is if there is any citizen of Minnesota
who desires audience with Gov. Mel
son he has only to turn into the second
door off the corridor at the State cap
itol and wait to gain the gubernatorial
presence when he opens the green
baize door which separates the gov
ernor's office from the reception room,
plainlooking gentleman of medium
heigth meets him with smile and
asks him to take a seat. His cordial
welcome makes You feel at ease at
once and you know that whatever you
may have to say will be listened to.
This was our experience with his ex-
cellency and our escort, Hon. O. B.
Turrell, who has known personally
every chief executive of the State for
the past thirty years, told us that
Gov. Nelson was the most approach
able of them all. No one doubts Mr..
Nelson's honesty and good judgment
and his administration is likely to be
most popular one.
The GAZETTE now hopes to see Gov.

lands secretary of war, came out u,
the early train from New York and
had a long talk with the president
elect. After he had departed Mr..
Morton arrived. He was driven
through a binding snowstorm to
the cottage. After a short talk
Mr. Cleveland asked him to look
after the department of agriculture
and Mr.. Morton accepted. This leaves
only the navy and the attorney gen

convention.
Mr.. Morton was born in Adams, Jefferson
county, N. Y, April %, 1882, of Scottish an
cestry. He was educate at Ann ArDor. In
1855 he was elected to the Nebraska terri

on the resignation of Gov. Richardson. In 1856
the democrats nominated him for congress and
he was defeated by David Butler. Mr.. Morton

THE NEW CAPITOL.

The GAZETTE is in receipt of circu-
lar letter signed by Thos. Cochran and
S. L. Howell asking it to protest
against the three-quarter of a mile
restriction clause in the new State
capitol bill. Tom Cochran is noted
for being one of the biggest real es-
tate sharks in St. Paul, with resi-
dence in New York, and whenever he
is in deal of this kind, it is safe to
wager that he is scheming for dollars
in his own pockets, and his pockets
alone. He is large owner of midway
property, and his whiskered face has
conceived an idea that the country
press is going to plant dollars in his
purse by removing the capitol to that
inconvenient district. The GAZETTE
is not chump enough to do it; neither
does it believe that it's co-workers are.
The only place for the capitol is in
the centre of St. Paul, where it can be
reached conveniently; not where Of
ficials and other persons who have
business to transact will have to sub
NIT to the interurban car service of
Tom Lowry. For no matter how
good Tom Lowry says that service
will be, it will never be- good enough
to satisfactorily handle the capitol
traffic. Put the capitol on Merriam
Hill, or some place as good. There
is where it belongs.
