Big Strikes in Pierce.

From recent reports gold seekers do
not have to go to South Africa, Alaska
or British Columbia to find the yellow
metal, but can search IN the Clearwater
basin and he amply rewarded for their
labor. From the indications there is a
rich gold field extending from the
Cpur d. 'Alenes on the north to and in
Guiding both slopes OF the Salmon
river on the south. That this great
field of free milling gold exists we
have only to point to the rich strikes
make on French creek, Big Canyon,
the Orogrande and Orc Fino excluding
the Golden Gate, Golden Bar, the
Golden King, the Gold Standard and
hundred other promising properties
in the Pierce district and the Elk City
and Florence districts.
| Development work is going on
rapidly and some fine gold properties
are shown to exist. Enough to war
rant the assertion that II great gold
camp is Just opening up that will pro-
duce its millions within the next few
wears. Two great strikes have been
made in Pierce within the past weeR
one on the Musselshell where In the
Gold Standard ore was assayed tha'

WHY We Love Dogs J..

"And why do people keep such lots Of
dogs themselves, and go in such numbers
to see other peoples dogs? Because the
dog is at once the sincarest flatterer aud
the most successful cheerer that the
human race ever had. A good dog always
gives us the feeling that we men and
women are sort of gods. No other ami
NAL does anything OF the kind. The cat
treats us as an inferior and the horse will
treat us dear friend, not a divinity. The
dog, moreover, imparts something of his
peculiar gaety to us in way that is
irresistible. He ningles his suggestions
of gaiety with his flattery; for he not only
leaves his dinner untasted to walk with
us, but the mere fact that we are appar
emily giving ourselves the pleasure Of a
walk raises him into such a delirium of
delight that the sight of it puts all our
dumps and blues to such reproach that We
shake them off in very shame. And when
we don't walk, but sit moodily at home,
the dog curls up lovingly at our feet and
looks up now and then into orr eyes and
'glides iato our darker mus ings with a
mild and healing sympathy Yes, there
is solid reason for the fondness OF men
for 10 gS. and il viii never com, Co an end
until either men or dogs become very
different beings from what they are now
