Various Forms OF the Aiimcnt Which Are
Likely to Attack Iunters.
Hunters sometimes get excited when they see
game, and call the state Of mind by n variety OF
names of which buck fever. buck paralysis,
buck ague. and tend foot s baptism are the best
known.
Buck fever proper Is distinct from any and all
OF the other forms, though usually tho nara
tors OF hunting tales do lot distinguish nicely
between them. When n man has buck fever his

fails. When at last the game is out of sight the
victim manages 10 rise TO his feet. md
then sits down again, too weak to stand.
When the guide comes along the white face
and shaky knees tell the story. The
experienced hunter never gets the paralysis on
runway unless lie has never before hunted by
dogging the game, but in the woods the still
hunter sometimes finds himself suddenly So

To save himself from starvation The stricken
hunter Cannot raise his rifle or move. Men have
watched deer under such circumstances for
many minutes. and only when the game Mas out

Only the woodsman knows how much de-
pends upon the ripenlng OF the beechnuts on the
ridges of tho forests. Various phases of the
weather. the unusual reproducttveness OF some
insecte, n plant blight, and dozens OF other
things affect the crop. Curlously enough, the
trees themselves have moods OF productiveness,
and the woodsmen say that every second year
there is q dearth OF beechnuts. They do not
hang in great masses from every branch then.
nor do their frost opened husks allow the nuts
to fall with n clattcr upon the dry leaves below.
Instead, here and there 10 nut, here and there
is q squirrel looking for q store of food and not
getting all 1t wants.
This seems to be n year of plenty for tho
squirrels and chpmunks. the deer. the bears.
and the other beasts that depend, directly or
indirectly. on tho beechnuts for hearty meals.
The mice and chipmunks swarm In plentiful
years, and the foxes appear seeking for the
mice. The deer roam less, and are more easily
tracked down by the still hunter when the nuts
are plenty. Partridges and bluejays. woodpeck-
ers and rabbits. alike thrive on the nuts directly,
while the fox and the wildcat, the weasel and
the marten. the dog and the hawk, the OWL and
even the shrike. find that the prey on which
they feed is moro easily taken, and consequently
they wax fat and torpid.
Odd as 1t may seem, the fish, too. come in for
generous feeding. Insects bore into the drying
nuts and In them deposit eggs that mature
when the spring rains melt the snow. Many OF
these nuts get into tho streams during the high
water. and the larvR float along. to tho delcota-
tion Of the big and little fish. for such morsels

have greater success. Another thing about the
larve in the nuts is that when they are not
washed away in the floods they take TO their
wings and fly. and then the swallows. the crested
hycatchers. the toads and other insect eaters
have plenty to eat.
All winter long. during the first track ing
snow. and later in the logging days. the deer

The EXTRA SESSION STRIKE.
Another Producer Added to Bing-
hams Already Large List.

Joe Bush, who has been wrestling
with the formation at Bingham for
several years past, feels that at last
he is on the road to wealth and opul-
ence.
For year or more Joe has been de-
voting his time and energies in the
development of the Extra Session lode,
just north of the Dalton and Antelope
mines, and near the noted keystone.
On this property he has done consider
able work with but poor results.
Later on, however, he began the sink
ing of an incline-shaft, and at ninety
feet he encountered ore. He has cut
through or along the ledge for dis
tance of thirty feet, and is now work
ing in a large cave, the footwall of
which is mass of mineral. This cave
was struck last week, and it is be-
lieved that underneath his incline
there are large bodies of ore.
Mr.. Bush came to Salt Lake Saltur-
day, bringing with him samples of ore
from the new find, tests of which
showed values as follows: No. i, ~
ounces silver and $3.50 in gold; No. 2,
1888 ounces silver and S. in gold. The
mineral also carries about 4 ounces
lead and 26 per cent iron, which
makes it a very desirable f1uXing ore.
The Extra Session is located on the
Dalton ledge without a doubt, and is
the making of great producer. This
ledge consists of quartzite reef that
can be traced distance of nine miles.
The reef is the mother lode of the ore
bodies in that region, and is the hang
ing wall, while the footwali is
porphyry, and the ore body between
is Of mammoth proportions.
E. H Airs and John Dern are inter
ested with Mr.. Bush in the Extra Ses-
sion, and these gentlemen propose to
thoroughly develop the lode.
Mr.. Bush, J. T. Culp and Ed. Gilman
leave for Bingham this morning for
the purpose of continuing work in the
incline shaft, and to also carefully eX-
plore the cave.

ore bodies, is a wonder, and, in look
ing at the unlimited deposits of ore in
sight, one is almost bewildered be-
cause of its magnitude.
A new hoist for the Resolute tunnel
has just arrived at the mine and will
soon be in place, when new ore worlds
will be discovered and conquered.
The Mercur company is employing
14O men at the NINE and is treating
200 tons of ere daily at its mill at
Manning.
Another pleasing feature in connec-
ton with the company is the fact that
It is paying $4,000 monthly in divi-
dends; that i. has already paid about
$780, 900 in dividends, and last but not
least, that the mine is good for years
to come, and that the dividends will
continue to drop in every month with
great regularity until instead of thou
sands it will have paid many millions
to it's fortunate stockholders.
During the visit of The Herald
scribe to the Sunshine and Mercur
mines, not a word of discomfort was
heard among the men at work there,
and they went about their labors with
hearty good Will that was very no
ticeable.
The ride to Fairfield over Jacobs lit
tie road was most enjoyable, and up
on his arrival home the reporter felt
we'll repaid for his visit.

silver and S4.75 gold. A two-foot vein
of this ore has been cut.

B. c. Earl who has been working ON
some properties owned by him at Fish
Springs, came in Monday He had
some fine samples of ore-going heavily
in silver from an 1S-inch vein which he
cut in his work. He has also located a
claim near these properties on which
is well defined ledge of rich quartzite.
