COYOTES SOMETIMES ADROIr,

Instances In Which They Have Circum-
vented Their Enemies,
No cutter animal is found in the west
than the coyote. The coyote is to the
plainsman what a fox is to an eastern
farmer, only the coyote is more in evil
dence, says Forest and Stream. A dog
that had its principal sport chasing and
otherwise worrying coyotes was led in
to ambush by one coyote and then set
uopn by several other of the prairie
wolves and almost done to death. About
9 o'clock one night one of the coyotes
came to the kitchen door and howled
aggravating at the dog, which there

coyote fed around the house. down to
the corral and around the blacksmith
shanty, the dog yelping after. Behind
the shanty were other coyotes, six or
seven of them, and all of them made for
the dog in a way that made it feel lone

his rifle started that way on the run.

farewell nip apiece and fed, leaving a
sore dog behind. Since then the dog
has not been so much interested as on
former occasions in coyotes. 1t follows

STORY OF TWO DOGS,

Still Lives.
A stuffed dog in a glass Casa COM
mon, ordinary street cur-adorns the
private apartments of the proprietor
of one of Philadelphia's largest hotels.
says the Philadelphia Record. There
is rather curious story connected with
the defunct animal, which the hotel
man tells as follows: One day the dog
came nosing about the lobby and al
though elected several times always
returned, evidently in search of the
kitchen. Finally. in order to get rid
of the cur. it was given large piece OF
raw meat. Instead Of eating the meat
there the canine took the Offering in
its mouth and went out into the street.
Out of sheer curiosity the hotel man
followed the animal and saw 1t take
the beef to another dog, which was
crouch!ng behind the step. The latter
stood UP on receiving the meat and as
it did so held one foot off the ground.
It was discovered that the second dog
was lame. While the crippled dog Was
eating It's meat the other stood guar1'
to see that there was no interference.
So it came to pass that the proprietor
took both dogs into the hotel and chris
tened them Damon and Pythias. Da-
mon is the one in the case and Pythias

creeping on apace.

where. and more than 80. 0o0. 900 have
been recovered BY the gentle flowing OF
waters charged with the magical chem
ical over heaps Of ore. Aside from the
.thoroughness Of the permeating wa
ter method. its economy is q marked
feature In mining. 1t ia in great favor
with the gold mining companies OF
New Zealand and at johannesburg.
Africa. as well as-in California.
One of the most advantageous feat
ures Of the cyanide method is that 1t
can be applied to many gold and silver
ores generally called "rebellious" or
refractory" The rebellious ore is
placed in a vat for percoiation. and the
solution is run. preferably from the
bottom by a pipe. rising slowly through
the ore. The solution containing gold
is carried through precip!tatirg appli-
ances into the final reservoir. where,
robbed of its wealth of metal. it may be
repumped into ore va:s and again used
for searching out the coveted metal.
One Of the curious things about the
solution is tina: a total percentage not
stronger than an eighth of per cent
will carry away the gold almost a. we'll
as fluid Of greater strength.
Precipitation is effected by the use Of
fine pieces Of zinc. SO arranged that
when the rich waters flow over them
the fine gold clusters in rich deposits
over the zinc. for which 1t has an af-
finity. The gold which thus deserts the
waters of cyanide deposits itself in the
form of fine dust on the plates Of zinc.
The percentage Of gold extracted by
this process is very large. A parcel Of
fine sulphurets from the Utica mines
yielded an average Of 9s.1S per cent
of the gold value under the cyanide
| treatment and similar results have
been experienced elsewhere in the
state. The cyanide plants are being
extended, and the noiseless process is
everywhere becoming popular.

ling liquid which flows over hundreds
Of tons Of quartz, triekles through the
mines and seeks its level. laden with
gold, is charged with q deadly poison,
cyanide Of potassium. . drug which
ferrets out the minutest parts Of the
yellow metal. disolves them and brings
the precious burden to the watts for
conversion into refined gold again.
The cyanide process Is as noiseless
and unerring as the laws Of gravita-
ton, doing its work as quietly - the
majestic dance of the hours" unhln-
dered by darkness or weather, by dis
asters of field or flood.
The state mining bureau OF Califor-
mia was one of the first in the United
States to investigate the merits Of the
cyanide process. and since the earliest
investigation the method has found ex-
tensive application. 1t is so interesting
that it's results are nothing less than
marvellous. This method Of extract
ing both gold and silver from ores Is
based on the fact that even very weak
solution of cyanide of potassium dis
solves gold and silver, forming re-
spectively "auro-potasstc cyanide" and
'argento-potassic cyanide" in the Ian
guage of chemists.
This Interesting process consists OF
treating the ores with a weak solution
of potassium cyanide. usually by allow
ing the solution to percOlate through
the ore, or by agitating mixture OF
the ore and solution. When this part
of the operation is complete. the solu-
ton is separated from the solid mate
rial and the gold and silver are precip-
itated in a metallic form. The process
is modern in it's application: though 1t
has long been known that cyanide OF
potassium would ''eat gold" During
the last FIVE years. however. the pro-
cess has been introduced into almost
every gold field in California and else
