A LIVE GORILLA.

One Of the greatest attractions of
the Barnum & Bailey show, which
comes to St. Johnsbury next Tues
day, will be the gorilla "Chiko," the
only one in captivity in the world.
This giant member of the ape family
was bought in Lisbon, Spain, and
was identified as being gorilla by
P. B. Du Chaillu, the noted African
explorer. 1t was captured in North
ern African eight years ago and is
now one of the rarest animals in the
menagerie. "Chiko' is a powerful
animal, and when angry exhibits
marvellous strength. He can per-
form many feats OF skill and exhibits
quite degree of intelligence, often
chattering to his keeper in a way
that quite resembles talking. No
one should fail to see this interesting
specimen.

ATTACKED BY A BULL.

George w, Cook, the harness
maker, was attacked by bull on
his farm above the Centre last Sat-
urday evening. He was trying to
drive the bull into the barn when
the animal became enraged and
turned upon Mr.. Cook. The bull
knocked him down and tried to gore
him. The horns were just far
enough apart to allow them to en-
close Mr.. Cooks body so he was not
gored. But before help could arrive
he was severely bruised, and it is uu-
certain how serious his injuries will
prove. Mr.. Cook would have un-
doubtedly been killed had neigh
Dor not arrived and released him.

AFTER SLAUGHTER-HOUSEs.

The board of trustees have notified
M. J. Hovey and Sylvester & Gray
that no licenses will be granted for
keeping slaughter-houses hereafter
and that they will be prosecuted if
they continue them. Mr.. Hovey's
slaughter-house is located off Hast
ings street and is used by Richardson
& Chapman. Sylvester & Gray's
property is situated off Portland
street near the Portland street
bridges.
Sylvester & Gray informed repre-
sentative of the CALIFORNIAN that they
had decided to go out of the business
as soon as their present stock of
meat was sold. They say it is i'm
possible to build a new slaughter
house in summer outside the village
limits and as they handle nearly ton
of meat a day they must have a
slaughter-house in order to do busi-
ness. The firm has been in business
here IA years and Mr.. Sylvester has
been in the meat business here %
years. 1t is understood that Mr..
Hovey will close up his slaughter
house.
The trustees are convinced that
the safety of the public health de-
mands a general renovation all over
the village, and they believe that
slaughter.houses so near private resi-
dences are injurious and unhealthy.
RsSlknts of Summerville have COM
Rtd to the trustees about the
sfg0g ghter-house there and their re-
request to have it closed up has been
granted.
he trustees have simply done their

houses, but is unfortunate that it
ompes such a established firm

UNIVERSALIST PICNIC.

Last Friday the Universalist Sab
bath school and the society went to
Joe's pond for their annual picnic.
About one hundred participated in
the affair, leaving st. Johnsbury
depot at 10 a. M, in a passenger
coach attached to through freight.
The accommodations in a single
car were rather limited for the crowd,
but the obliging conductor allowed
the overflow to occupy the "palace
car which is usually in the rear of
freight trains, so the destina tion was
reached in fairly comfortable con-
dition. Arriving at the pond about
noon it was not long before dinner
baskets were opened and a least of
good things was had in the shade of
the grove. Mr.. Flint, the proprietor
OF the grounds, was present and sup
piled all who wished with boats, fish
ing tackle, ETC., and most of the party
spent most OF the time on the pond.
Those who remained on land passed
the time in the swings, visiting and
roaming about. The weather was
most delightful and every one pres
ent seemed to enjoy the occasion. At
5 O'Clock the 'palace car" and at
tachments arrived at the station and
took the party for the home trip,
where they arrived at 6 o'clock.
When the train arrived at the south
end of the railroad yard here the pas
senger car was detached and left
there, and that crowd of tired women
and children had to foot it to the
depot with their luggage, an act
which called out considerable COM
ment OF ali unfavorable nature from
the sufferers.

at the funeral. Miss Hoag had

Another change is to be made in
the size of the postal card. The
three sizes now in use are to be set
aside and cards of uniform dimen-

issue have proved rather unwieldy
for general purposes, and the public

A BIG STRING.

The Lyndon Union, with view to
preventing any boasting on the part
of fishermen this season, tells the
following;
Fishermen who are inclined to brag
should remember that b. G. Corser and
A. S. Mathews went to Dixville Notch
in July, 1872, and in IL hours they
caught 1S0 pounds OF trout. They
brought them into Lyndon village
strung on pole which they carried on
their shoulders. 1t was the handsomest
string of trout ever seen in the village up
to that date, and it has never been
equaled In size they varied from half
pound to three pounds each"

THE COMET.


Another Of the strange and inter
esting visitors to our region of the
kosmos has made its appearance un-
heralded, as most comets are, and
this time of such size when first dis.
covered as to be readily seen with
the naked eye when one knows
where to look for it. 1t is in the
border region between the constela-
tions Ursa Major and Leo Minor
1t was first seen from this neighbor-
hood just below the stars lambda
and mu of Ursa Major There are
two fairly bright stars about as far
below the main part Of the great
dipper as the length Of the dipper it
self. From that point it has been
moving at about five degrees day
nearly in a horizontal direction to
the left till on Tuesday evening it
was little below and to the left of
another pair of stars which are call
ed nu and zeta. The comet is now
farther to the left than the handle of
the large dipper and nearly twice
the length of the dipper below the
point of the handles. Its tail is so
very faint that it is not readily
made out but can be traced upward
with sharp eyes three or four degrees.
The only thing to distinguish it
from star is a faint hazy outline.

Shipments of ore from this mine OF the
Phoebe Con. Co. to Salt Lake continue
regularly, and besides several cars unre.
ported, about 30 tons of first grade ore
lie in the bins. This ore sells in open
market for about $ll0a ton and is of .
very desirable character.
The recent development in the 1925
level of the mine, east. has opened up 80
well during the past week that the mine
may now be said to look better than at
any time in the past. and shipping ore
for long time to come at the present
rate, is uncovered. The ore is princi-
pally steel galena and heavy carbonate.
The best showing is in the ledge opened
three weeks ago in the ten foot north
cross.cut from the 1925 level and about
400 feet east Of thee shaft, where two
faces of ore are exposed, one Eve and the
other four feet in width, each assaying
from So to 222 ozs. silver to the ton, and
from forty to sixty per cent lead.
The drift on the thirteenth level run
west to connect with the old Mazeppa
shaft has reached distance of 932 feet
and yesterday sinking was begun to con-
meet with levels of the Mazeppa mine.
When this connection is made an abun.

is what is badly needed in the Yuba.

FROM vANDsRBI n,
Some , teresting News About the
New Camp.

The Lo, Angeles Express says that Jos.
Taggart has returned from Vanderbilt.
He says that the reports Of 600 popula-
tion aud lively growing camp are true.
The new town is getting along as fast az
it can legitimately. Mr.. Campbell, who
came down from Utah, has opened up
two good shafts which show free gold in
good paying quantities. Mr.. Taggart
and partners, who not long ago sold min.
ing property there to San Francisco
bonanza kings for $40, 800, have other
fine paying claims. One is the Gold
Bronze mine for which they have refused
1000 recently, and the reason is that
they are taking out $500 day. They
have contracted to take out 1000 tons
OF secondclass ore for the Needles re-
duction furnace. Mr.. Taggart says that
ten assays show an average Of about $3.50
gold per ton. with about 10 per cent OF
silver. The st. George property which
he aud his partners sold is doing well, as
is also property bonded by Griffin 4
Grow. A wagon road from Vanderbilt
to Good Springs has been contracted for
to haul six tons of ore day to Needles.
He says that all the Vanderbilt ore will
come here when the smelter is finished.
Vanderbilt is destined to be the center Of
one of the greatest mining booms in the
