which vessel arrived from the North last

with reference to the suggestion that his
cutter might De sent to the relief of the
ice-im prisoued whalers in ,he Arctic
Ocean:

Captain H. P. Ray, U. S. A, whose name
is now coupled with the proposed army
operations on the Yukon, spent nearly
three years at Point Barrow in 1881, 1882
and 1883, in charge of the government
meteorological expedition and station
there, and his voluminous reports give
much interesting information about the
Point Barrow region, the most northerly
point of the continent.
The building erected by Captain Rav for
living quarters and observatory work, near
Cape Smythe and some little distance from
the extreme point, was the only building
except Indian huts.
Ii has long been abandoned by the Gov
ernment and since then a commercial sta
tion has been est blished in the vicinity.
In Captain Rays time game was far more
plentiful than now and the Indians
rustled their own prov sioDs, whereas now

shaft in the frozen earth, dug out a cold
storage room, and stored each season
hundreds OF ducks and quantities OF rein
deer meat, which afforded plentiful and
CONSTANT supply. H May, lccZ, the OD-
servation party banged 500 water lowl and
the hunting of deer by the natives little
back from the coast and the hunting of
seals off shore in winter is described. But
the fur trade has since then made the
game supply slim and present reports are
that game is unusually scarce this season.
all of which offers small hope FOR the feed

source.
The Orca is now one Of the whalers

making their way through the ice, and

RICH MINES OF MEXICO.
High Average of Gold Ore Produced for
the TarrOs and Rosario.


In official publications of various
governments attention has been called
recently to the mining districts Of Mex.
leo, which are described as richer in
gold, silver and other metals than the
Australian, North American and African
fields combined. Some American min
ing engineers have claimed that the
southwestern portion of the state of
Chihuahua contained enough precious
ore to enrich every citizen of that prov
ince, provided the mines were worked
with modern appliances and improved
American machinery.
Investors in this country have been
slow to place money in Mexican mines,
simply because some of the companies
organized to develop them were engi-
neered by persons who were either un-
known or professional promoters. The
progress of legitimate enterprise, how
ever, has been gratifying to investors Of
moderate means who expected to re-
ceive profitable returns within u reason
able length of time. Perhaps no other
Mexico-American corporation has been
more successful than the Gold Mill Min
ing company of Mexico, corporation
under the laws of Iowa.
The properties are located in the
southwestern corner of the state Of
Chihuahua, in the Sierra Madre noun
tains, west of the continental divide, be-
tween the Fuerte and Sinaloa rivers, on
the Pacific slope, and only 500 miles
from Ell Paso, Tex. They include the
Tarros and Rosario gold mines, La Bnfa
group, the San Jose group and the San
Juan group, embracing 70 silver and
gold claims of recognized value. Four
railroads are projected through this
country, one being now under construc-
ton. The stamp mills of the company
are locsted at Rosario, ~ miles from
Baborigame, the post Office, and the
smelter is at San Jose de Cruces.
The Tarr'os and Rosario gold mines
consist of ten claims, which are being
increased as rapidly as can be examined
and surveyed, the company being pro-
tected by zone" giving it exclusive
rights in u territory ~ by IS miles.
The vein is great porphyritic dixie from
200 to 400 feet wide, cutting across the
side of the mountain and exposed on
one side by the erosion of the river for
long distance, and from 300 to 500 feet
in height. 1t is penetrated in all direc-
tons by network of veinlets, rich in
free gold. Prof G. E. Bailey says that
these mines can be compared in size
only to such q vein as the Homestake,
except that the Mexican ore is several
times as rich as that of it's Black Hills
rival, the average production being not
less than $12 per ton.-Chicago Times

A Spider Keeps Time to Music.

At recent rehearsal of the Apollo
male quartette, of Coldwater, Mich,
large spider came slowly down his
silken thread to about the height of
the singers shoulders, where he hung
suspended for few minutes, then be-
gan to move up and down in front of
the music rack. The second tenor, who
was leading the air, soon noticed that
the movements of the spider CORE
sponded with the variations of his
voice, up and down the scale, and in
perfect time. They then began series
of experiments, and found that the
spider would ascend or descend about
a foot for every octave, and though the
melody was carried ever so lightly, and
the bassos Numbered in their heaviest
tones, the insect could not be deceived,
but always followed the leading part
accurately and with the precision of a
directors baton. All kinds of songs,
from ''Down in the Cornfield" to "The
Bridge" were sung to test the ability
of this wonderful little being, and each
time he came out of the conflict not n
beat behind. AT last the four voices
struck an awful discord, and instantly
the spider scurried up his inprovised
metronome and disappeared in the
chimney.-Chicago Tribune.

THE WILD HORSE TO-DAY.
Breed Discovered in the Hungarian Des-
ert Is Interesting.

Breed Discovered in the Dzungarian Des-
ert Is Interesting.
In the present relationship between
the man and the horse undoubtedly
there is change due to the bicycle, and
SO we are becoming under less obliga-
tons to animal locomotion. 1t is, how.
ever, the old form of horse which is
again coming to the front. Perhaps the
general reader, not a specialist, has be-
come somewhat tired reading of the
original four-toed horse, as his fossil
remains are found in Kansas, and how
in time he gradually changed until he
became the single-hoofed creature, can
ceiling his earlier toe formation. 1t il
the true wild horse, as he may exist to-
day, that we have been looking for. The
first find of him, some years ago, wac
questioned. Anyhow, the creature was
called equas prjevalskii, and in re-
cent journey the Russian explorer
Prjevalsky hunted in vain for him in
Central Asia in the desert of the Hashun
Cobb. Recently the two travellers G. E.
and M. E. Grum Grzimailo have come
across wild horses in the Dzungarian
desert, and they succeeded in shooting
two of them. AS to their height, they
stood some LAG meters, were possessed
of stout back and chest, and with the
neatest and trimmest of legs, as clean
as those of a race horse. The head was
heavy, with an abnormal width of fore
head. The tail had it's peculiarities.

were walking along the beech road,
hand in hand, away from the village,
away from everybody. She had not
expected him to speak as he did. She
only knew she was quietly, fully happy
when with him. Of love she had never
thought, and yet how suddenly, when
he had spoken, she knew she loved
him. Her lips refused to open, and she
had simply put her hand in his.
AS she left the cottage, Pierre Laton
called her, and in moment was by her
side. "May 1 walk with you, Lizette|'
he asked.
People said Pierre Laton loved her.
Il am going far, Pierre" she said.
"You had better not come"
''The end of the world would not be
too far with YOU" he exclaimed, quick
ly, looking searchingly into her face,
and then, as he saw the startled look
in her eyes he pleaded: LET me go with
you, Lizette?"
And SO they walked together.
Lizette did not speak and Pierre's
heart was too full for words. Lizette
even forgot he was with her, at times.
Her thoughts were in the past. Her
thoughts seemed always in the past.
Of the future, which was to bring such
great happiness, she dared not think.
