A scout. Remarkable Career.

Eyeuy one Who has spent much tine
upon the ioutier has heard Of the re-
markable faculty Of Dolores Sanchez,
the famous trailer of New Mexico and
Southern Arizona. So eminent an
authority a. General Nelson 4. Miles,
Who has hal unusual personal knowl-
edge Of the work of trailers aud scouts,
Is quoted as saving that some of San
chez accomplishments are more than
and that his powers
border on the mythical. General
Ruger, United States Army, tells the
following story of an experience with
this remarkable man, to show the
skill of an expert scout: 81 was
once in pursuit of lot OF
Comanches, who had been fol-
lowed. scattered, and the trail
abandoned by company of so.called
Texas rangers. On the eighth day
after the scattering Sanchez found the
trail from IA single shod horse. When
we were fairly in the rough, rocky
Guadaloupe mountains he stopped,
dismouuted and picked up from the
foot OF tree the four shoes of the
horse ridden by the Indian. With a
grim smile he handed the shoes to me
and said that the Indian had tried to
hide his trail. For six days We jour
neyed over the roughest mountains,
turning and twisting in apparently the
most objectless way, not a man In
the whole command being able to dis
cover, sometimes for hours, single
mark by which Sanchez might direct
himself. Sometimes / lost patience
and demanded that he show me what
he was following. POGO tempo,
pretty soon,) he would abstrNctedly
answer, and in longer or shorter
time show me the clear-cu footprints
of the horse in the soft bank of a
mountain stream, or point with his
long wiping stick to some other most
unmistakable sign Sanchez led us,
following the devious windings Of this
trail for over $50 miles, and only
three or four times dismounting, SO as
more closely to examine the ground,
he finally brought me to where tbs
Indians reunited. "

A sea lion story comes from San
Diego that is substantiated by the
skin of the lion now at the home of
the captor. An angler on the govern
ment iotty at the harbor mouth baited
his hook with smelt. The hook was
swallowed by small leopard shark.
A large sea lion happened by and was
attracted by the furious antics of the
captive shark us the fish endeavored
to break the line. The lion padded up
and swallowed the shark and the muir
derous hook. The barb OF the stout
hook became firmly implanted in the
vitals of the lion. Then there was fun
for the angler. The line was tied to
the ietty. Several men aided the
angler in playing the lion. For more
than an hour there was furious fight.
The lion resorted to all the cunning
known to his kind to get away. 1t
was useless. His strength was eX-
hausted. The beast was drawn to the
shore and dispatched with club. -

VENEZUELA CASE NEAR END.
Britain Regards Olney's Suggestions
as Way for Settlement.

LONDON, England, Aug. 1.-THE British
government regards the latest propositions
of secretary Olneyin the negotiations con
corning Venezuela as opening the way tp an
equitable settlement. Mr.. EalfUUr. tn gov
eminent leader informed the House Of Com
mons in reply 10 II question by Sir william
Harcourt. the liberal leader.
Mr.. Bafour said that the government
had every reason to expect that the pending
negotiations will lead to an early settlement
OF the dispute Sir William thought the
House would regard Mr.. Balfuur statement
as eminently satisfactory. Cheers He
added that. considering the anxiety felt On
the subject throughout the country, and
since the negotiations have assumed Il shape
which leads to the belief that the papers On
the subject can be communicated 10 the
House at an early date, he hoped they will
be communicated to the public rs soon as
possible.
"les, responded Mr.. Balfour. lit is the
desire OF the government to communicate
the papers as soon rs this can be done with
out prejudice to the public interests.

A Curious Test of Coins.

In America an alloy of one-tcnth
copper is used in coins to harden them
and make them less susceptible to
abrasion. In England the amount of
alloy is less-onIy one-twelfth. Re-
Gently, a controversy arose among
the mint officials of London as to
which coins, English or Amer
lean would last the longest. In
order to put the matter to test two
small steel cylinders were fixed on a
revolving rod and one filled wit h
United States and the other with Brit
ish coins. 1t is needless to say that
all of the letters, milling, reeding, etc,
were worn from the English coins
twelve hours before they were finally
totally effaced from the American
coins.
