The powers freely extended the wom-
Ell of Zuui are many, being particularly
favorable 70 them in domestic matters,
and in everything pertaining TO the
home. These peculiar liberties are
manifest before marriage as we'll as
after. for the alleged privileges Of leap
year hold rule continuously in Zuni-
land. When one of the daughters of
the tribe takes an amored liking for a
young man, she very frankly eonfesses
it. and her parents are informed of her
choice of a prospective husband. If
they approve. the interesting informa-
ton is impaired, in due time, to his
family; and if the as yet perhaps I'M
suspecting subject of the selection is
suited. in turn he makes, through the
it his admirer at her home. He is re-
ceived somewhat formally by the maid
en- and her family, when something like
the following laconic conversation en-
sues between the young people, while
the father and mother, with the other
members of the household, sit apart,
amiably pretending not to listen:A
Thou CONTEST" she says.
"Yes; how be We these many days ?"
he answers.
Happy. Gather and sit" and she
motions him to a seat near heN
AS never-failing hospitality on the
part of a hostess, when visitor enters
a Zuni home she places food before him
and bids him loosen his belt and les

occupied. and partakes quite sparing-
ly, to give the polite impression that he
is light eater-an important point in
the favor of prospective husband.

after dining off little more than birds

Eat enough. You must have come
thinking of something. What have you
to say?" she asks. encouragingly.

perplexity to the family group.
"As you wish, my child" her parent
replies.

CONVERSE BY WRESTLING
Remarkable Language In Cse ~ tAe
Shepherds of reneramc.

Few, probably very few. have ever
heard Of the ''whistling Language" Of
Tenerire. though this curious method
Of spesch-ii. indeed. it can be so de-
scribe6-is ST lesSt several centuries
old. The 'whisthrg language" is used
BY the shepherd folk Of renerife and
Gomera, and the frst recorded notice
OF II was made by French traveller as
FAR back as l455. Since then stray wan
derers have called the worlds atten-
ton. at long intervals, 10 the Ian
guage." Some years ago, while roaming
through the mountain ranges of Tene-
rife il fell 70 the writer's lot TO hear
the shepherds thus conversing. BY
placing two or three fingers in the
mouth they contrived to make the
whistle carry to distance of three
miles or thereabouts. The lonely hills
seem silent and deserted. when sudden
" out of the far distance comes long
drawn and very shrill whistle-the sum-
mons to a conversation. In reply sim
liar call strikes piercingly on the ear
from the opposite direction. The whis-
tiers are widely separated and perhaps
are having some difficulty with their
fAcks. At any rate, if you listen you
will soon hear them in the thick of a
lengthy conversation" though the
speakers" are three miles or more
apart.
Logeard, the well-known French
savant, has conclusively proved that the
whistling is in Spanish. Easy words
are taken and the sounds initiated by
the whistlers. Long practice and
heredity have naturally given the shep-
herds extraordinary skill, and their vo-
cabulary is now quite long one, while
in addition 0hey have regular code of
graduated notes, which convey tele-
graphically what they cannot salts
factorily reproduce in the ordinary
manner.
The writer heard three parties of
shepherds exchange their hopes and
fears regarding the weather by this
means. On another occasion he heard
an invitation to a dance sent in the
"whistling language" across stretch
of country exceeding four miles in
length. The young boys and even the
girls are adopts at the Language" and
the very sheep appear to understand
whistled commands at considerable
distance. In fact the whistling Ian
guage, dating as it does from before
1455, makes one wonder whether the
telephone is such a modern marvel after
all.-London Mail.

Sea otter Becoming Extinct.

The sea otter, it was stated recently
at the Smithsonian institution, is an
animal which is fast becoming extinct.
So precious are their skins that the
otter has been hunted with vengeance,
and only a few, comparatively, remain.
There is one fine specimen in the Ma
tional museum which is mounted in a
most lifelike manner. The institution
bought the skin aNd paid $3.50 for it,
which is not deemed an extraordinary
price. In few years, it is thought,
they will have disappeared altogether.

When purchasing a COW always en-

can judge Of the capacity or character

bred stock, however, is more uniform

8 So Tunnel Enterprise.

The Times Of Haley. Ida, makes
mention of a big tunnel enterprise in
augurated in that section, as follows:
Work was begun last week upon a
tunnel that is intended to prospect and
develop the ore-bearing veins that
abut against the highest peak Of the
Bullion and Deer Creek range OF noun
tains.
This work was begun in the lowest
drift or level of the Pass group of
mines, which IS known as tunnel No =
The intention is TO extend this tunnel
about 1900 feet in a southerly direction,
SO as to crcsscut the Idahoan and Bull
lion veins, and to open and develop the
Success. Burnt FRS, Ace and Deuce
claims of the Pass group. The 800
feet of tunnel or crosscut viii require
about two years time and an expendt-
ture Of $4,000 or $4,000, and may in
time be continued to the Idahoan. the
Bullion and MayflOwer. and, possibly,
to the Red Elephant, in q southerly,
and the Red Cloud group in a westerly
direction
In that case this tunnel would be-
come like a trunk line of a railroad,
with branch lines to various points.

FIRE WIPESOUT AIMING CAM
IOWA HILL, a MOUNTAIN TOWN
OF CALIFORNIA.
Two Men Consumed In the Flames
Fire Supposed to Be the Work Of
an Incendiary.

Iowa Hills. Cal, Oct. 17.-Iowa Hill,
q mining town situated in the noun
tains of Placer county, was visited by
q most damaging fire early this morn
Ing. The FIRE started in the Central
hotel and within few minutes the
hotel Was q mass of flames and the
walls falling in. Two of the dodgers
in the Contra! hotel, William Golden
and William Owens, persisted in the
flames. From the position of the re-
mains of William Golden it is sup
posed that he never awakened. VIII
liam Owens, it is supposed Ieaped from
his room to the second story. but land
ing or a fence WAS seriously injured
and unable TO go further. The re-
mains of both were burned beyond rec
ognition and the only menas of identi-
in the hotel and the position of the
bodies il the ruins.
as to the origin of the FIRE there are
conflicting stories, many seeming to
think that It was the work of an incen-
diary. Coroner Mitchell of Auburn is
investigating
The total loss is estimated at about
so, GOO; Insurance about $4,000.
The fire destroyed one Of the Oldest
and most PROSPEROUS mining towns in
Placer county Fortunately for the few
remaining buildings the night was
calm. Had there been q wind it is prob
able that al would have been burned.
as thore is absolutely no protection
against fire Bucket brigades were
formed and by dint of hard work the
Stehr hotel and other buildings were
saved

Rich Placer Diggings.

The news came in last evening from
Rye valley, this county, says the Demo-
crat of Baker City, Ore, that rich
strike had heen made il the gravel
mines of NIessrs. Cartwright Brothers
and that the ground prospected by the
owners yielded $40 per yard. with a
large acreage Of valuable ground to be
worked.

Gated many years ago by j. c. Powers,
James Odeu and Walter Fernald, the
latter of the First National Bank Of
this city, and by them sold. after max
ing them a fortune each 10 tha New
England Mining company. Later they
passed into the hands Of Messys. Can
wright Bros, and have been worked by
them several years. always yielding
handsomely every year.
This latest showing of the wealth
contained in these mines is certainly
wonderful and if there is as much pay
dirt as reported the present owners Wtd
not have to go to Slondike or anywhere
else to secure their fortunes. They have
got too good a bonanza here.

shot firing in mines has been evolved by
u working miner, consisting OF a hollow
brass or copper needle, TO be inserted in

delonator is not inserted in the charge
until the stemning is complete BY means
OF a thin copper rod, tipped with hard pa

needle and placed In the position required
in the charge and secured By a spring.

charge occurs is required, while the hole
Is rammed before the dangerous decorator

SANPETE MURDEREs SAID To
BE IN NEVADA.
The Suspects Have Been Holding Up
Men, Stealing Horses and At
tempting Murder-A Posse In
Pursuit.

Phoebe Record: Two men, supposed to
have broken jail in Idaho and making
their way southwark into the desert
country. have made things lively in
this and White Pine county, and Great
ed considerable uneasiness to settlers
along their trail for the past ten days.
The first report of them comes from
near Cherry Creek, White Pine county,
where, a week ago last Sunday, they
met VIII Griswold. who had a pack
horse with him. The outlaws compelled
him to dismount and led him off some
300 yards from the road. commanding
him to turn his back to them. Girls
void did as ordered saying don't
shoot me in the back" The men then
transferred their saddle to his animal,
helped themselves to what they wanted
Of his pack and ordered him to turn
around" AS he did so one Of them shot
him. The bullet struck GriSwoid in the
forehead and he fell as though dead.
The outlaws covered the body with
quilt. put stones on it and rode away.
Griswold was not dead. however. The
bullet had glanced along his skull. in
ficting an ugly scalp wound, but moth
ing more. He regained consciousness
and peering cautiously from under his
covering. saw the couple ride away.
AS fast as he could he made his way
to the nearest ranch, reported the af-
fair. ard went then to Cherry Creek.
Three men, GrisWold being one of the
number, imediately took the trail of the
wouid-be murderers.
The outlaws Travelled southwark,
having but one horse between them.
They inquired about the stages and
are supposed to have contemplated hold
ing them up.
AT the summit. in entering this coun-
ty on the north, they slaughtered a
calf, took part of the flesh and left the
balance by the roadside.
Last Thursday night they camped at
Lake valley. on Geyser creek. refusing
the hospitality of the house offered
them at the Campbell ranch
st noon on Friday, Pacheco, the mail
carrier between here and Geyser, on
arriving at Poney Springs, found his
horse had been stolen. The tracks of
the two men were there, showing who
had done it, They had taken the ami
maj nom The corral and struck off
westward toward John MelOy's ranch.
Pacheco Immediately sent an Indian
messenger here with the news. and il
! WAS also reported to DeLamar
Owing to the rain. the White Pine
pursuing party lost the trail. but con-
Guiding the pair were making tor the
south as fast as possible they made
for DeLamar, where they arrived late
on Saturday night, and learning then
that they were ahead of their game,
started on the back trail on Sunday.
GrisWold and his companions passed
through here on Tuesday night, on
their way home, having failed to find
further trace of the men.
Latest advices show the outlaws to
be Crawford and MeilclA for who's
capture reward of $1,000 is offered
for the murder of Sheriff Burns south
( of Provo two years ago CtriswoId was
shown their photographs while here,
and Immediately identified one of them
