A Small Boys Ingenuity,

A small boy in the Mission is the
owner Of wOOlly little donkey of
more than ordinary intelligence and
perversity. Some time ago the man
ger in the stable fell down and struck
the donkey on the head, since which
time nothing could induce the animal
to enter the stable Of his own accord,
and he wandered around the yard at
his own sweet will.
The other day the boy found that the
donkey viewed the lawn mower with
mingled curiosity and alarm. He would
not turn tail and run from it, but
would back away, the while keeping
his ears at a full cock. and his eyes
on the machine. That fact gave the
boy an idea. Now he leads the donkey
to the stable door, turns the animal
around and runs the lawn mower to-
ward him. When the donkey backs
into the stable the door Is slammed on
him before he realizes where he is

Why salmon return to the sea after
spawning has always been a mystery
but the fish in San Andreas Lake may
in a measure solve the problem. That
reservoir Is full Of fine big steelheads
that can never return to the sea, but
they are literally covered with para
sites that resemble snails and are
sometimes found to be an inch and a
half in length. 1t has been found that
the parasites die as soon as they are
placed in salt water and drop off the
fish, just as barnacles drop off salt
water vessel as soon as it anchors in a
fresh water harbor. 1t is believed by
some piscatorial experts that the sal
mon return to salt water to rid them
selves Of the parasites that attack them
while in fresh water. Still others con-
tend that the salmon never does return,
but dies soon after spawning.

An Experted Mine,

"a few years ago." remarked an
old mining man, 1.-THE Rawhide mines
in Tuolumne County, California, We're
being hawked all over this country and
Europe, but no one would touch them.
The mines were offered for a song, and
several Eastern and European experts
were sent here to examine them. They
all reported adversely, and the result
was that they were not sold.
"rhe Nevills, who now own the
mines, were not 'experts'-that is, col
lege-bred experts-but they were prac-
teal miners and they thought they
saw a good thing in the Rawhide. They
acquired them and went to work. 1t
cost quite a tidy little sum and the
owners were nearly bankrupt before
they made their big stake. but they
have been taking out from $4,000 to
$50, 900 a month ever since. Altogether
the mines have yielded about $4,000
600. and the present owners have been
offered $1,75O,O0O for the mines by
one of the syndicates that refused to
touch them for twentieth that price
a few years ago. Which shows that
mere are some things the foreign ex-
pert does not know about mining"

BAD FOR WORKING CLASSES
A Serious Labor Problem Now Con
fronts Chile.

New York, July "a special to the
Herald from Valparaiso, Chile, SAYS:
Ii the government does not soon take
steps to better the condition of the
working classes throughout Chile, there
will be dark, despairing outlook in
store for them. The IIeraldo here saws
the closure of the engineering estab-
lishments will cause others to follow
and leave more than 1000 working
mems families exposed to hunger. 1t
adds that this may cause the paralyza-
ton of several nitrate establishments in
Tarapaca province, throwing 800 men
in the streets and causing the stOppage
of all building work throughout Chile.
Workingmer are preparing to hold a
monster meeting next Sunday to pro-
test against the delay of congress in
discussing the reform customs tariff
law, which has been submitted to that
body. The workingmen will also pro-
test against the idle political discus
sion in congress on the resolution { f
the government railway directors to
order five locomotives from the United
States after having promised to protect
the national industries.
