ambition is not realized ii will be through

STRIKE AT NEIHART.
Rich Ore Encountered in the Queen Mine
Last Week

Rich Ore Encountered in the Queen Mine
Last Week
Great Falls, May 1.-THE people of Mel
hart are thoroughly excited over an i'm
portant. discovery in the way of rich ore.
In referring to the subject the Miner of
to-day says: THE most important strike
that has been made in Neihart for long
time Is that which was made on the
queen last week by Contractors Bernier
ana SHELTON, who are running a tunnel
through the Queen ground for the Gait
company The gentlemen had a contract
from the Gait to extend the Queen tunnel
400 feet on the vein, and from there IL is
INTENDED to crosscut to the Gait vein. The
BAIT company will then use this tunnel
Tor the operation of their mine The con-
tract with Messrs. Bernier and Shelton
provided that half of what ore was taken
out should belong to them. They had al
most completed their contract of 400 feet
when this strike was made, and conse-
quently will get about 13 feet of this rich
ore. But that will net quite a snug
amount IL the ore is as rich all through
as the assays show. There are about
three feet of II, and according to reports
IL averages 1856 ounces of silver to the
ton clear across the three feet. II IL con-
tlnues as good as that 1t is unquestionably
the biggest strike ever made in Neihart
ana VIII probably mean millions to both
the queen and the Gait people. The line
between the two properties is somewhere
ABOUT where the ore was struck and IL
VIII require survey to determine exactlv
TO which company the ore belongs. The
question OF. side lines and end lines. which
mas so long been before the courts, is also
hkeiy to cut some figure in the matter.

FIERCE ZEBRA WOLF
Most Destructive and Dangerous of the
MarSupials Is Becoming Extinct.

This animal is also called the native
tiger; but. strange to say. it is not even
a cousin to zebra, wolf. or tiger. be-
longing to the same family as the kan
CARGO, the slow and gentle wombat,
and the sly old 'possum-all these ami
mails that carry their babies in their
pockets. Common names are usually
given from fancied or external resem-
blances without regard to scientific
classification, and in this case the dark
stripes, like belts around the body
have suggested the name of zebra,
while the ravenous and fierce nature
naturally suggests the tiger and the
wolf.
once the zebra-wolf roved at large
through Tasmania, bringing terror and
destruction to the smaller animals
which inhabit that land; but since the
island was settled by Englshmen they
have made systematic attacks upon
this most dangerous of the pouch bear
crs, or Marsupials, and have driven
him into the thick forests and rocky
gullies. When population becomes more
dense this enemy of the sheep and
poultry, as well as Of defenseless wild
game will be swept from the face of
the earth. No doubt the shepherd and
farmer will be glad when the last re
bra-wolf has prowled his last prOwl
around the hen house and sheep fold;
but the naturalist, who is always a
friend to what is rare and strange, will
regret exceedingly the determination
Of this queer beast.
Another thing that makes this
strange creature peculiarly interesting
is the fact that he is the most formid-
able Marsupial of the more than so
varieties of this class, and is indeed
the largest and most dreaded OF al the
mammals in Australasia.
one reason why the shepherd and the
farmer find it difficult to guard against
its attack is because it loves darkness
