Philadelphia. July s.-The new alien
tax law signed by Governor Hastings
two weeks ago has resulted IN an un-
usual number Of applications by for
eigners for hrst papers. over l,S0O first
papers have thus far been issued. The
law requires that employers pay tax
of 3 cents each working day for each
unnaturalized foreigner employed.
Employers generally have determined
TO compensate themselves for this out
lay by deducting the amount from the
foreigners wages. To this fact is at
trlbuted the hurry TO become citizens.
The exaction Of the per diem tax is re-
quired until the anal papers are taken

''The work of slaughtering the 5,230 Mexican sheep, which were quarantined in this city, went bravely on yesterday. Every poor Mexican who wanted lamb could have one by tkinning the animal There was fresh lamb in many huts last night" As stated in the Citizen, MT. Manby passed through Albuquerque the other evening for Trinidad Colo where, this paper was informed, he will consult attorneys as to his legal rights in the premises, and there is little doubt but that some one, on this or the other side of the Rio Grande, will be made to pay dearly, provided Mir. Manby is forced to lose the cost of the sheep and duty on them, amounting to nearly 10,000$.-El Paso Times

Don't be afraid to critIcise It; give me your honest opinion." The newspaper man met the student a couple of days later and the latter asked for that "hon- est opinon". The newspaper man smiled faraway sort of smile and said :: "Well, Pm hardly the man to express an honest opinion the fact is that I wrote the poem you gave me, about elght years ago. 1.-The Printers Auxiliary.

The recent eXuning of gi gantic fos- sii near the west fork of the M adison contiguous to the anc ent channel of the Gravel Range, Madison county, (by two young prospectors, Bert Kellogg and W. E. Thompson is worthy of special mention and investigation. The bones are in excellent state of preserva' ion, nearly every piece of which will be re- covered The boys have secured over 1 500 pounds of the skeleton and will re- cover the balance after the spring snows shall have disappeared. Or the larger pieces, what appears to be back bone joint measures 124 inches, and part of thigh bone, about six inches from the joint, weighs 59 pounds. The back bone and tail joints would indicate measure ment of over "A feet in length. The most interesting feature is the existence of an enormous tail, the joints of which taper from five to one and one-h half inches in diameter. The ribs measure 5b inches in diameter. Thus it would appear to a layman that this remarkable relic of the worlds unwritten history should be clas- sided under the head of ophidiology, as a serpent or jumping leopard, said to have existed 5,000,000 years ago and judging from the geological conditions of the sur rounding country, anti-dates the diluvial period of the North American fossil ele- phant or it's contemporary of the masto- don giganteus (the period of the Lauren. tian clays). In the vicinity of the dis covery, within a radious of one mile, the craters of 200 extinct geysers can be counted A peculiar condition of the pyroxenic lava is a state of complete pet riication lying embeded in a country rock Western Mining World.
