Among the queer pets which are to
be found on board ship the flagship
Chicago, the man o'war which trav-

Montevideo, Uruguay. to New York. to
get home for the Columbian naval pa
rade, has probably the queerest. At

captains Christmas dinner; but the
great cheerfulness of this bird, as shown
by his hearty Growing in the most un-
seasonable weather saved his life for
the time and he became the pet of all
the men on board.
After his liberty had been given to
him and he had becoms fairly tame he
noticed one day another very proud
rooster in polished brass ventilator
which stands on the quarter dock. He
Immediately put on mis- proudest air,
then, noticing that the other rooster did
the same, he stepped closer to inquire.
and soon was glazing pugnaciousiy at
the other fellow, who seemed quite as
defiant as himself. From looks it ca ma
to blows and coon that rooster was
fighting his own reflection and occas-

very hard blow with his bill and be
thrown back. only to return to the at

apparently retreated.
This was kept up Of intervals for eev-

more hard knocks than glory were to be

many months on board, he occasionally
renewed the attack, but in half.heart'

answers to it like gentleman.
AT Ensenada, in the Argentine Re-

dock in the ''grand canal" and Dick
was allowed to run on shore and pick
up what he could find. He never
strayed FAR from the gangway, and
would come proudly shutting back

to the side OF the ship, he watched them
for several minutes, and then walked
out the gangway until almost at tho end,

John D. Bicknell 10 putting up a
quartz mill at Frazer mountain in this
county to reduce the ores OF the Frazer
mine. He will have it ready to start up
&c soon as the snow gets out OF the way.
About ten men are employed about the
mill and the force will be increased
when he gets ready to take out ore. Tne
cyanide process will BIO employed
in the treatment of the ore which is OF
rebellious character. but having here
tofore reduced lao tons of the same ore
by that process with satisfactory results,
Judge Bickwell is hopeful OF demon
strating the fact that the low grade ores
which have long been known to exist in
that region can be worked with profit.
The realization OF his hopes would open
an active little mining camp and prob
ably result in many new discoveries ct
that place.

Young Woman Who Carries . Loade cd
Last Saturday night . short, hand
somely dressed young woman entered
the police station and asked to see the
clerk. She was shown to Clerk Hens
lsy's desk, and without saying q word
suddenly unbuttoned the waist OF her
dress and drew forth an ugly looking re-
volver. With an angry air che lay the
weapon upon the desk.
An officer or two and reporter who
were standing by at once thought of
murder, robbery and everything else of
criminal nature. A terrible crime
perhaps the sight of Clerk Hensley's
body writhing upon the floor, the blood
gushing from bullet hole, was conjured
up ia the minds OF the bystanders, who
were about to ruHh up to prevent a
tragedy.
Calmly and slowly she said:
"You see, L had scare by burglars the
other night and have decided to 90
prepared. Would you be go kind as to
examine that revolver and sea If it will
shoot? want to be sure that it ia
capable of laying out the next burglar
that comes to my door. Oh. yes II can
handle it and very finely, too"
Mr.. Hensey took the weapon and Of.
ter examining it thoroughly, told the
young woman that it would answer all
purposes.
''Oh, i'll will shoot; that's Just the
thing. Thank you ever 30 much. Good
bye."
"Good bye," answered the clerk, as
the visitor. replacing the weapon in her
bosom, left the station.

through Fairbank yesterday on'h his way
to his home in the City of Mexico. He
had samples Of ore taken from the sum
NIT OF the Cibucs range OF mountains
about So milee south of Nogsles. The
ledge from which the ore WAS taken runs
along the ridge of the mountain and lie
from two to four feet wide on the surface
and gives an average ASSAY OF s4S per
ton. The ore is free milling and almost
solid iron.
The discovery IL OF very recent date
and was made by vacqueros. Mr.. Pier
son has ordered l0-stamp mill, which
will be put upon the property. II is
estimated that there are 10000 tons OF
ore in sight on top of the ground. 1t is

San Francisco Chronicle: Nin!een
Misunderstanding Apache Indiana were
landed at Alcatrsz island yesterday
morning by the government boat Nc
Doweli. They were brought here from
Arizona under q strong guard and are
condemned to spend year on the rock.
Lieutenant Brainard of sne Second cav

was no doubt well pleased when his
charges were safely landed on the island
prison.
The Indians are from the Moqui reser-
walton, and are known as the "hostiles."
On the reserve 10 another faction called
the "iriendlies." The latter are more
plant 20 the civilized ways of the white
men, and willingly comply with the law
requiring their children to attend school.
The hostiles held council of war and
decreed that going to school waa not
compatible with the dignity OF the
tribe. The friendly Indians were COM
mandsd to keep the children away from
school, and the hostiles began to dance.

Uncle Sans soldiers swooped down
upon them and gathered them in. The
red men were tried and the worst OF
tenders sentenced to the bay bastile.
Among the number is the big chief OF
the tribe. Lomahungyoma; the war
chief Hebema, the high priest Lomay1
aabtiwa, and the medicine man Patops.
The Indians were kept at Fort Win
gate for six weeks during the trial, and
on Tuesday night were shipped on q
special car. Shortly after the train
pulled cut OF Flagstaff, and as it was
bowling along at the rate of 80 miles an
hour, Kochiuentiwa, one OF the braves.

crafty redskin raised the SASH and
wrapped blanket around his head a.
II composing himself for a nap. Then OF
sudden he jumped to his feet and
dived out into the darkness. The train
was stopped as quickly as possible and
run back for mile, when the guards
jumped out and scattered along the rail.
The savage was discovered in an insensi.
BILE condition some distance along the
track, and he was found none too soon.
Three minutes later he returned to COM
sciousness, and despite the fact that he
was handcuffed he made frantic efforts
to get away. The soldiers quickly over-
powered the hostile and bundled him
back into the car. His head was cut
and his body badly bruised. but he ut.
tered no complaint.
When the Indians were put on the
Mcdowell at the Oakland mole south

boat to and fro, and this much alarmed
the redskins. The big chief, who led the
way, got down ON all fours ana crawled
along the gangplank. Each brave fol-
lowed his example.

BIG WARS CAUSED BY TRIPLES.

A Shawn Ohm Cost Franco 100000
Lives and 800 Years of Strife.
Many times il has happened that q
great and costly war has been brought
about by an incident trivial and even
ridiculous, says Answers. Thus the war
OF the Spanish succession is said to have
been caused through glass OF water.
A lady, Mrs. Masham, was carrying q
glass of water. when she WAS obstructsd
by the Marquis de Torey. slight
scuffle ensued and the water was spilled.
The marquis thereat took offsnse, aud
bad feeling ensued between tho English
and French courts, with the ultimate
result that war was declared. The cam.
paign coat France many severe battles,
viz, Blenheim, 1904; Families, I7O7
Oudenarde, 1908, and Malplaq net, 1909.
Quite as absurd in its origin was the
war that took place during the com NOM
wealth of Modena. A soldier stole q
bucket from public we'll belonging to
the state Of Bologna. Although the
value OF the bucket did not exceed a
quarter, its annexation was O signal for
a fierce and prolonged war. Henry, the
king of Sardinia, assisted the Modenese
to retain the bucket, and in one OF the
subsequent battles he was made a pris-
oner. The bucket is still exhibited in
the tower OF the cathedral Of Modena.
A third instance OF war resulting from
trit1ing cause was that between Louis
VII. OF France and Henry ii. of Eng
land. The archbishop of Rouen decreed
that no one should wear long hair upon
their heads or chins. Louis submitted
to the decree, whereupon his wife,
Eleanor, rallied him upon his appear
ance. A quarrel ensued, which resulted
in the dissolution OF the marriage and
EleRnor's marriage with Henry. By
this marriage the broad domains in N or
mandy formerly belonging to Louis
passed into the possession OF Henry.
Louis, hotly incensed, made an attack
on Normandy, and henceforth, for nearly
800 years, aroae those bloody and de-
vastatinR wars. which cost France up
ward OF 5000. 600 lives.

The San Bernardino Sun, under date
Of Victor, Dsc. 26th. says: The new
year is likely to be marked with re.
newed energy in mining in San Bsrnsr.
dino mountains. The persons who own
stock in tho Rose mine are to be con-
graduated on Christmas present of a
substantial nature. A rich strike at the
depth of 426 feet has just been made,
probably the richest strike yet made
and certainly the most important one.
The ore has been struck in good solid
formation which means permanenoy,
The Roae can now be called mine, mot
q prospect.
The striking Of this ore at this depth
is of the greatest importance to the
mining industry of this county and es.
pecially of the San Bernardino range.
There has been 4 prevailing opinion
that paying ore bodies did not continue
to any great depth in this county. This
will prove to the doubling Thomaces
that the greater tho depth the richer
the ore becomes.
There are very large number of
mines in q radius OF 10 miles from the
Rose, namely: The Atunna Gold COM
pany, who have just finish cd contract
for about 200 feet of tunnel and upraiss,
all in ore; the Morongo King Mining
company, Townsend and Lewis gold
elaine, the Black Hawk group of mines,
the Bud Doble Gold company, the Rat
tlesnake cation gold mines, and large
numbers of undevelopad mines too
numerous to mention.
The striking OF this rich ore body at a
doDth of 425 feet means Rrbat deal to
the mining operator and will give conf
dence to thoee owning propertiea in the
Vicinity. It ia to be hoped that the
