ROCKY MOUNTAIN GIRL.
Mildred Bevington's Account OF Long
Shot AT an Antelope.

Mildred BevingtOns Account or Long
Shot at an Antelope.
Mildred Bevington, a Rocky mountain
girl living in Wyoming on the border OF
Jackson's Hole, has recently been sue
ccssful at hunting game which men
usually find hard to get. She has killed
half dozen black tailed deer, and wears
bloomers while hunting. The bullets
she uses are soft-nosed, so that when
they hit they mushroom and spread out
til they are half an inch across. Not
one of the deer that she hit has run
more than 200 yards, and usually they
have died before they have gone ten
rods. She finds antelope hunting the
best sport of all, and she writes to a New
York frieDtl:

GREAT GOLD STRIKE IN PERU.
Stories OF Rich FINDS by Calirornians which
Discount the kiondike Finds.

Stories OF Rich E1nds by CalifoFninns which
Diacount tho kiondike Hinda.
SAN FRANCIsco, July 24.-Sews comes from
Peru OF a big mining strike which discounts the
Klondike story. Private letters have been re-
ceived here from Californians who went to the
new district, and all unite in saying that gold is
being found by the hundredweiGht in placer dis
tricts which have been worked for years by In
dians in a crude way. c.. De Miranda, who has
made q fortune in petroleum in Peru. said to-day
that one Californian named Harrison had struck
It rich. He added:
"Hardison and twelve other Americans left
hero two years ago for Peru on an expedition af-
ter petroleum. On tho trip down fve Of tho party
died. four at sea and ono at Panama Of
fever. Hnrdison and the remaining members
continued to Peru and eventually in.
vaded the interior. where recent reports
say they found gold in quantities which
when mentioned few people would believe. The
output OF ono OF Hardison's claims was 279
pounds Of gold, which is over $4,000. for June.
and I have knowledge OF II mine which he has
lately purchased for $330,000."
This district lies partly in Peru and partly in
Bolivia. It is reached By steamers to MolanGo,
thence by rail to Lake Titicaca and by steamer
over the latter, then by rail TO Lapaz and by
| muleback or on foot to the mines. The climate
Is mild and healthy. Many Englishmen have
made fortunes in the new mines.
