They Don't Follow These Instructions.
From the State Republican.
Owing to the fact that the last legislature
changed the time for the redemption of
state taxes from December to May, an i'm
preston has gone out that persons delin-
quent for 1894 taxes have until May of next
year to redeem the same. This is an error
that Auditor General Dix is doing his ut
most to correct.
Redemption from the sale made from the
tax record at the annual tax sale in Decem-
ber, 1896, for taxes of 1894 or prior years,
must be made on or before December 4,
1897, whether the sale was made to an indl-
vidual or the description bid to the state
Redemption money cannot be received,
either by the county treasurers or by the
auditors department, at any later date.
On and after December 9, all lands bid to
the state at the tax sale in December, 1896,
and not redeemed before that date, become
state tax land and subject to sale as such,
and all lands sold to individuals at said sale
will be decided on surrender thereafter of
the certificate Of sale.

ments being In circulation as to the amount
Of compensation received by County Drain
Commissioner Geo. T. Mason, THE TIMES
has looked the matter up and ascertains
that in 1895 Mr.. Mason received $500. s5;
in 1896, $742; for nine months, Jan. 1, 1897,
to Oct. 1. he has earned little less than
$500. The copying In the Office has been
done by Mrs. Mason and her compensation
is by the folio. She received in 1895, $142;
in 1896. Sl27. The comparing has been
done by Mrs. Mason and her daughter, Mrs.
Merrell, and the latter has not received =
dollar In payment. The figures given COM

DEER ON MOUNT YEAGER.
Nine of Them Were Shot There Dur
ing Last Week.

"Old residents of White Haven say
they do not recall time when deer
has been as plentiful in the adjacent
mountains as at present, and few days
pass without hearing Of one or two
being shot" says the Wilkes Barre
News Dealer. MT. Yeager, which is
near the town, seems IA favorite feed
ing place for them this year, and this
Is considered somewhat remarkable
from the fact that it is continually
infested by hunters and their dogs.
On Saturday two boys, John Stout and
Russell Tattershall, each Of whom has
Just passed his fifteenth year, We're ON
Mt. Yeager, less than two miles from
the centre of town, i'm search of rab-
bits. Thinking they might possibly
scare up deer, they placed a couple
of buckshOt shells in their pouches,
end, sure enough they had bagged but
a couple of bunnies. when their dogs
scared up deer The boys gave chase,
loading as they ran, and a few min
utes thereafter had the satisfaction of
bringing a handsome 13O-pound buck to
earth.
Some idea of the plentifulness of
deer ON Mt. Neager can be formed from
the fact that no less than nine Were
ShOt there from Monday until Satur-
day Of last week. ON Wednesday Wall
Searfoss varied the mOnotOny by
bringing i'm a handsome white buck,
which attracted no end of admiration
and excitement. on Tuesday, the day
previous, a deer was scared out Of the
mountain, ran into the town and was
finally drowned I'm the Lehigh. on
Thursday two men from Freeland,
whose names were not learned, went
home from White Haven on an eve
ming Lehigh Valley train with buck
which weighed nearly 200 pounds. And
there Were others who were equally
successful.
But deer is not the only game on
Mt. Heager. An old White Haven hunt
er said this morning that the woods
are literally alive with rabbits. and
those who go out have no trouble i'm
killing more than they can carry. In
addition to rabbits, pheasants are also
plentiful, and those who go specially
fol rabbits generally come home with
2 gOodly number of this favorite bird.
As result of all this more hunters
are seen in the mountains back of
White Haven this season than ever be-
fore"
