Then When Old Seggles Sobered Up
He Shot Himself.

'That's old Seggles' grave said a
State of Washington man. who was
showing friend from the East round
Northport the other day, according to
the New York Press
Ever hear about Seggles, old Jim
Seggles? There wasn't a better known
man in the whole Northwest than Seq
giles. He and Ike Carney and Bill
Reese were pardners for over twenty
years UP here. If you'd been here any
| time tall you'd have met Ike or Bill.
They're still living.
What those three men didn't know
of the topography of the Northwest
wasn't worth knowing. They had pros
pected together all through British Co
lumbia, Colville, SLOGAN, kalso and Koo
tenie country.
They found some good stuff, too, long
| before the Government would allow
them to go in to work it. Five years
| ago they made the best find of the lot,
up in the Trail District of West Koo-
| tenie. They couldn't locate then, be-
cause the country wasn't open
wouldn't be open till June lst. So they
| arranged to loaf around on the quiet
until spring, when, as soon as the snow
was off, they'd go in and begin work.
"Resse and Carney came up here, but
| Seggles went to Spokane, where some
| men with money got hold OF him and
began to pump him. They filled him
| with booze and kept him on the run till
| he didn't know where he was at, and
finally he gave away all he knew. Then
| they put up a great game. just how
| they did it no one knows, but they got
| Seggles to go up on the Trail District in
dead winter and locate the claim in the
names of those Spokane chaps.
when he had done this he came over
here where his old pardners, with whom
he'd worked for twenty years, were
busy fixing to go in as soon as the snow
was off, and told them all about it. Then
he shot himself.
The mine netted the Spokane folk
over 100000, but they amt saying
much as to how they got it. So no one
knows why Seggles sold out his pals"

A ROck=BOring Shellfish.

One of the most curious of the many
remarkable forms of marine life is a
species of molluSk called the razor shell
which can eXcavate holes in solid rocks
This creature has no English name; its
Latin name is Pholas. 1t is found in
widely separated regions Of the earth,
but is most plentiful on the coast of the
NJ Medfterranean, where limestone
abounds. 1t is frequently met with on
the coast of Italy, where whole lime
stone beaches are honeycombed with it's
holes. 1t is still a disputed point among
naturaliSts as to how this boring is ef-
fected. Some think that the mollusk
secreteS some acid which softens the
limestone, but others think that the
holes are bored by the simple mechani-
cal process Of grinding. The preponder-
ance of opinion appears to lie with the
latter view at present, yet it is said that
no one has yet been able to catch the
Pholas at work.-St. Louis Republic.
