The bulldog has found a new mission.
His peculiar tenacity of grip, combined
with firmness of purpose, has made him

almost universal aversion and suspicion,

Pat" is the name of the clever animal.
There is nothing. particularly attractive
in his appearance. His lower jaw has
that same ugly appearance that has pre-
JUDGED the public minds against animals
of this class. 1t is Pats jaw, however,
that has gained him fame.
Mr.. Bungay has a store in Spokane,
and in front of this place of business,
whenever the weather would permit. Pat
has been in the habit of taking UP his
station. His original task was to guard
the store from all the ~nuisances that
walked in that direction, and in this ca
pacity he has long been ~unequalled. Mr..
Bungay has spent no little time in teach
ing him that When a horse and buggy
were left in front of the store 1t was the
intention to have them remain there until
the person who left them returned and
took possession. Several times horses
which have been temporarily stationed
in front of the store have taken the no

a weight, for he is a stocky dog and
weighs a good deal more than his looks
would lead one to think.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Feb. IL, 1S97.-The
steamship Empress of China arrived yes
terday from the Orient, having been de-
tanned almost a day at the quarantine
station on account of the new regulations.
She brought a large number of passen-
gers and a full cargo, and also the fol-
lowing advices:-
The information obtainable about the
rebellion in the Philippine Islands is not
of a satisfactory nature, and there is evil
dence of the work of the censor on the
face Of all of it. Spanish troops are still
pouring into Manila from Europe at the
rate of about twelve hundred by each
steamer, and it is estimated that there
are now between 1900 and 20, 1000 in the
Philippines. The fighting has been chief
~ in the Province Of Bulacan and moth

Under the date of January 4, the follow
ing advices nave been received:-Since

ia some forty or fifty rebels have been
shot at Manila. including DR.. Rial. The
latter died very bravely, if not some

speech before dying.
A small column of 800 Spanish troops
was recently completely annihilated, be-
ing aInbushed by rebels. The new troops
arriving from Spain are a poor looking
lot, evidently fresh from the plough, and
many seem to have never handled a
weapon before.
1t is reported that $50 men are under
arrest for refusing to go to>the front n
fight.

ANOTHER
BIG FIND
Of GOId---This Time Within Our
Own Borders and
THE RICHEST EVER MADE
Enough Gold in and Near Mt. Baker
to Keep Prospectors Busy
For Ten Years.
THE RICHEST EVER MADE

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 27.--The first
authentic news concerning Washing
toms new Eldorado near Mount Baker,
and how to get there is brought to Seat
tie by f. w. Saportas. president Of the
information and registry, who, with
Frank Crydo, and Gus Wagner, expert
enced miners of Dawson City, went to
the scene Of the latest excitement last
Saturday. According to Mr.. Saportas,
the route is passable and not very diff
cult until within five miles of the find.
The last five miles, however, present
obstacles that would forever discourage
anyone not an experienced prospector
and mountaineer. There is in Mount
Baker and its surrounding heights
enough gold, says Mr.. Saportas, to keep
prospectors busy for the next 10 years.
In samples of ore that were brought
back by the informant, Mr.. Bogardus,
the assayer, ~ cursory inspection, de-
clared that free gold existed i'll exceed
ingly good quantities.
Il met many men," continued Mr..
Saportas, "who came from Mount
Tomohoy and they all reiterated the
stories concerning the great strike Of
$4,000 to the ton made in Bear noun
tain in Tomohoy and several others
have found ore equal to the discovery
in Bear mountain"
A special correspondent of the Even
ing Times sends word from Summas as
follows:
1.-THE gold discoveries in the noun
tains of Whatcom county are beyond
any doubt the richest in the annals of
the Pacific coast or even in Alaska. So
say the most experienced prospectOrs
whom have just accompanied to the
scene of the recent finds.
1.-The recent find is in Bald mountain
situated in the northeast portion of
Whatcom county, northeast of Mount
Baker. The mineral range runs north
west and southeast and today is located
for 30 miles There is no telling how
much further it extends.
1.-THE vein in the five claims, Lone
Jack, Bonnie, Sidney, Lulu and Whist,
varies from three to five feet in thick
ness, 1t runs under a layer of porphyry
ledge in a serpentine manner, and aur.
iferous shale appears in the ledge 1t is
free milling quartz of sugas and rose
color, carrying copper and silver The
vein can be traced half q mile. The
cropping is under solid poi.,hyry.
THE gold is known as wire gold
and can be seOn with the naked eye and
picked out with the fingers That great
quantities of it exist there is no doubt
The formation of the range in which
the find is located does not look to be
very rich in minerals If there is any
placer mining it has not as yet been
demonstrated TO be a paying PROPOSE
ton"
