McKiniey's Narrow Escape.

Now that the electoral vote has been
counted and Mckinley and Hobart Off
cially declared elected it has become
known that the Legislature of 1895 in
passing the law providing for a board
of county canvasSers, failed to make
provision for the canvassing of votes
cast for presidential electors. This
discrepancy was not discovered until
the Legislature had adjourned, and Gov.
Rich and few other officials agreed
that an extra session would be too ex-
pensive, so they swore to secrecy.
Very fortunately the error was not
discovered by an enemy to Mckinley,
but those in the secret were in con-
slant fear lest it should be. Had the
election been close this error might
have proven costly TO Mckinley.

built of boards, the miners being obliged to
fell the trees themselves and saw out the lum-
Der with whip saws, very laborous work
The depth of gravel in the bottom of the
gulches varies from foot up to twenty or
thirty feet, and when it is deeper than the
latter figure it cannot be work ed,
The upper part Of the gravel is barren, and
the pay dirt lies directly upon the rock be-
meath, and is generally very thin. To get at
this pay-dirt all the upper gravel must be
shoveled off, and this preliminary work cften
requires an entire season, even in very
small claim, When the gravel is deeper than
a certain amount--say ten feet--the task of
removing 1t becomes formidable. In this
case the pay-dirt can sometimes be gotten at
in the winter season when the gravels are
frozen hard by sinking shafts through these
gravels and drifting along the pay-dirt.
The pay-dlrt thus removed is taken to the
surface and washed out in sluices when the
warm weather begins. This underground
working is done by burning instead Of blast
ing and picking. A fire is built close 10 the
frozen gravel, and when it is sufficiently tha W.
ed, it is shoveled out and removed The
stripping off of the upper gravels which has
been mentioned, can be done only in the
comparatively short summer season when
the surface thaws.

Why the Chickens Died.

A professor at One OF the universities is the
subject Of a queer anecdote. Last winter he
was married and went to housekeeping out
side town. This spring he thought he would
add few hens to his stock; he already had a
dog. He set couple Of hens and in good
time he had two large broods Of chickens.
He was very proud Of them, but in week
or SO the fowls began to die. The professor
calledin neighborto look at the chickens and
offer advice. They were certainly dilapi-
dated lot Of chickens that the neighboI viewed.
They were thin and apparently without
ambition.
"What do you feed them?" asked the
neighbor after brief survey.
"Feed themf' responded the professor,
as though he didn't hear right. "Why, !
don't feed them anything. ! thought the old
hens had enough milk for them" Christian
