California.
San Francisco, Cal, July 21.-Nort,,-
erc California has q mining excite
ment of no small proportions as tho
result of the discoveries near Hall City,
in Trinity county, and hundreds CT
prospectors have staked out claims.
Taken in connection with the big
find in Tuolumne county and the
klondyke news, it has aroused intense
interest in mining circles, and in hotel
corridors and on the street corners
little else is discussed. The Hall City
discovery is by far the most important
made in this state in many years, as
it is believed that the continuation of
the famous Mother lode" has been
found. If this is the case untold wealth
awaits the miner who opens the veins
of Trinity, Del Nortc, Tehama, AID
other northern counties.

Another Sad Case,

Another sad case OF young girl came
up before Justice Curtis yesterday. A
girl hardly 16 years of age was arrested
by officer Stukel last Sunday night
and put in the village lookup. The
officer found the girl wandering about
the streets and alleys and had been
watching her for some time. She was ar
rested once before, but allowed her free
dom for lack of evidence. The girl says
she has home, but does not want to live
there because her stepfather ill-treats her
and does not want her about the house.
She gave her name as Jessie Michael and
will probably be sent to the Industrial
School for girls at Adrian. County Off
Ger Osborn will hear evidence before JUS
tice Curtis today and decide what had
better be done.

Ways of the Moose.

Ambrose seemed to know great deal
about moose, after all. He told the boys
how, back from the narrow valley and
the swift, winding stream, the country
was all wilderness, hillsides clad
with birches, naples and evergreens,
and resting at their feet little lakes, SO
numerous that no man knew how many
there were. Often, where. these lakes
were shallow, the yellow pond lily
with its oval leaves crowded the sur
face. At other seasons the tender bark Of
mountain ashes and moosewoods are the
favorite food of the moose, but now
there is nothing he likes so we'll as the
long tubular roots of the lily. In the very
early mornings, and in the evenings,
about the time of the harvest moon
the full moon nearest Sept. 21-a hol-
low sound, not unlike the sound of dis
tant chopping, may be heard. 1t is the
sound Of moose calling to their mates
or the angry challenge Of fierce rivals.
1t is this sound which the hunter imi-
tates to attract the moose. But there
are only a few places where the moose
will answer, shallow spots in certain
well known lakes, and it is said to be
nearly useless 20 call anywhere else
