DOG AND WILDCAT.
The Feline Gets the Worst Of 1t In Fight
at Cadillac. Mich.

The Feline Gets the Worst Of 1t In n Fight
at Cadillac. Mich.
GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, April GA
crowd of men in Cadillac paid 81 each
Friday night to see finish fight between
II big wildcat and plucky bulldog. The
duel occurred in basement on the
main street. The cat was captured a
month ago in the woods, and was one of
the biggest and most savage of its kind.
The dog is owned by man named Pow.
ers, and was but little larger than the cat.
The pair fought in cage about ten feet
square, built in the center Of the room,
and was surrounded by the spectators.
There was no time wasted in preliminar-
les. Almost as soon as the dog was
dropped into the pen the cat with arched
back, made u flying leap at its foe.
The dog met it half way. The cat
fought in grim silence and with no appeal
for mercy. The bulldog yelped with pain,
however, at the first dig of the long claws,
and several times announced that he was
greatly dissatisfied with his antagonists
methods A wildcats favorite mode of
fighting is TO grasp its enemy with its
claws and then dig and tear viciously
with its powerful hind feet. The Cadillac
dog had evidently had an unpleasant
recollection of cats. and his attack from
the first was directed 1T those muscular
hind legs. Time and again the cat shook
off the dogs hold, only to have the strong
jaws close about the same leg at the next
opening.
The brutes fought until they were
breathless and then mutually backed off
and eyed each other until the dog was en-
couraged by the crowd TO renew the at
tack. In this way eleven distinct rounds
were fought. Finally the dog succeeded
In dislocating one of the savage cats hind
legs, and from that time on had IL all his
own way with the cripple. Then the cat
was mercfully taken out and shot, and
the brutal exhibition ended

SAFE INVESTMENTS.
Nothing Pays Better Than Invest
ments in Good Mining Stocks.

Nothing Pays Better Than Invest
ments in Good Mining Stocks.
Just now when it has been proven
that investments in railroad and other
industrial stocks have resulted in
heavy losses, it is refreshing to call
attention to one class of securities that
give larger and more regular returns
found in this or any other country
and this is in Utah dividend-paying
mining stocks, or stocks that give
every assurance of soon being placed
on dividend-payingb basis.
In looking over the list of Utah stocks
now presented to the public, we find
that they offer opportunities for safe
and lucrative investments that are
unexcelled. and nearly all of them pay
a greater interest on the money in
vested than could possibly be earned
by any other form of investment Of
fered the capitalist, the man of small
means or the interest gatherer.
Besides the amount earned as inter-
est in the way of dividends, there is at
the present quotations on nearly all of
the listed stocks ON the board of the
Salt Lake mining exchange, an almost
certainty of handsome advances in
prices; which, in many instances, will
far exceed the returns in the way of
dividends. which in themselves amount
to handsome sums in the course of the
year.
Among the gilt-edged stocks which
daily present themselves to the public
we will mention few, as follows:
The Ontario stock, at $12 share,
with its regular monthly 10 cent divi-
dend, pays 10 per cent. per annum on
the investment
The Silver King at SIS, with a regular
monthly % cent. dividend, pays 20 per
cent.
The Bullion-Beck at ST. with it's 25'
cent dividend, pays AZ per cent, and
would be a 80 per cent. investment with
its stock at SO share. The Bullion
Beck paid $3.75 a share in 1895, which is
S712 per cent. at $40 share.
Observation-Disclosures at $50, paid 80 per
cent on it's capital stock in 1895. and
this stock has now advanced to SIS.
Mercur, during the past year, has
paid 81 per cent on Sc stocks, and with
the proposed increase in its milling
capacity. the company will pay 80 per
cent on its stock at SO share.
Utah, at $3.50 per share. pays Is per
cent; while Galena pays about 20 per
cent.
Dalton & Lark, at 50 cents a share,
pays u per cent, and the mining ex-
pert who recently examined this prop
erty, comprising five producing mines,
stated in his report that in the Dalton
& Lark mines alone there was enough
ore blocked out and in sight to pay 80
per cent. of the capitalization of the
which is placed at $500, 900;
to say nothing of the fine showing
made in the other producers embraced
in the Dalton & Lark group.
Daily and Daly-West, and Mammoth,
along with a score or more of other
Utah mines will surely become good
properties in the near
future.
These are facts, the figures speak for
themselves and cannot be successfully
disputed; therefore, for sale and profit
able investments. take a flyer in good
Utah mining stocks.
