DOG AND COW.

4 Remarkable Instance OF Affection BE.
tween Animals.
A remarkable instance of affection
between dog and Il COW is related by
by well-known suburbanite. His lit
tie black Scotch terrier became infatu-
ated with small Jersey COW in his
neighborhood, and every morning he
would run off to the pasture where his
bovine sweetheart was kept. He would
slip out the side way and walk along
with the COW. He often missed his
breakfast and often did not taste q
mouthful all day. When she munched
grass by the roadside, he patiently sat
on his launches until she moved along.
Sometimes he was confined at home to
break up the habit, but as soon as he was
released, Off he would go at full run
for the pasture, singing out his love
from the herd of cattle and following
close at her heels. lie would jump up
and kiss her in the mouth. lick her feet,
and show signs of greatest joy when he
came to her. While the COW on her part
did not appear to appreciate his atten-
tons, she did not hook him away. Final
ly, the family grew tired of keeping q
dog that remained away during the day
and only came home for his supper and
to spend the night, and gave him to per-
sons living some distance in the coun-
try. The COW, who had never seemed
to notice any of his demonstrations Of
affection, missed his companionship
when he was gone. For she would come
to his former home at evening, put her
head over the palings and low. She did
this at intervals for several months,

The city of Prescott, Ariz. has
adopted a modification of the sim
gle tax idea. The city council, no
member of which is a populist or
anything but a straight out repub-
lican or democrat, has established
a uniform tax of 50 per lot, ire
spective of improvements. The
council was influenced to this ac-
ton by the mayor, who is an en-.
thusiastic single taxer. He is re-
ported as saying: 1T is our in
tention to abolish all commercial
licenses, which are merely fines on
industry and enterprise, and to
increase the tax on real estate un-
til the improvements and personal
property are exempt from munich
pal taxation. We have fixed a
tax of 81 a year on each single lot,
for the purpose of maintaining
public lighting and waterworks,
as such works add equally to the
value of improved and unimproved
lots. But we shall not stop here.
You will hear from Prescott later

Florence Quartz Mine.

Spokane Review.
1.-THE Hiyu is a great property
said III. X. Galusha yesterday
1.-The quartz is absolutely free mill
ing, and runs as high as $50 per
ton, and grows richer as the mine
grows deeper. There are three
claims on the property and from
the shaft, which is 80 feet deep,
several levels have been run. The
property has passed through many
yicissitudes, but is now in a fair
way to be worked for all it is
worth. That il is worth a great
deal is demonstrated in a measure
by the fact that one miner took
800 from the ledge in early days
by use of an arastra. Mr.. King
and others of C9ur d'Alene OBJ
tanned a go day option on the mine
a short time ago, and the result
was the organization of the Hiyu
company. There will be no cessa-
ton of work on the property.

The Banner Mining Co.

From the Florence Miner.
The Banner, which, since it's dis.
covery over two years ago, has
been one Of the very best proper
ties in camp, stands easily at the
head of the list today, in the way
Of development and will in a few
days be in a position to pay divi-
dends. The vein has been explor-
ed to a depth of nearly 200 feet,
and by drifts run at various levels
on the ledge, and enough ore il
blocked out at present to keep the
2h-ton stamp mill running for
months. AS Is we'll known the
Banner ore is, considering the size
of the vein, very high grade, the
mill runs made at different times
varying from s42 to $6S per ton,
and it is safe to say that over 40
per cent of the value was lost by
the process used in treatment of
the ore.
The new mill which will soon be
in operation, has been ordered
after careful experiments, and will,
it is said, save 50 per cent. of the
assay value of the ore. This will
make great difference in the
monthly output and it is evident
that the company will soon be
realizing dividends on money in.
vested.
Banner stock is gradually going
up as result of the excellent
showing in the mine, the near
completion of mill, and, so far as
this place is concerned, it is doubt
full if the company's stock can be
bought at all.
