VANCOUVER COPPER FIND
Strange Incident That Led to
the Fortune of a
Farmer.
Through the Peculiar Medium of a
Bullfght He Locates
Rich Claim.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Nov. 9.-When q
cow kicked over a lantern and precipi-
tated upon the city of Chicago fire which
will long be rene bered on this conti-
nent the bovine species came in for large
share of execration. Two members of the
same species have recently, in an equally
accidental manner, brought about dis
covery which will do something to remove
the stigma under which the family have
rested so long. A farmer driving along
the road near Kamloops, station on the
main line of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
road, within days journey from Van
couver, came across two bulls engaged in
what appeared to be deadly struggle,
and as one of the beasts was his O wn prop
erty he made successful attem pit to sepa-
rate them. In the course Of their struggle
the bulls had disledged several large
chunks of rock which, being of a peculiar
appearance-spotted blue and black
aroused the curiosity of the farmer who
took some of il with him and afterward
submitted it to an assayer, with the re-
suit that he found it contained copper to
the varue OF $45 per ton. Subsequently
stalking claim and proceeding with the
development the lucky finder exposed q
large and well defined vein of ore, and now
the en- dire locality has been staked out.
