USEFUL INVENTION
A Philipsburg Man Secures a Patent
for a Valuable Device.
a DOOR OR WINDOW FASTENER
So Small l. Can Be Carried in the Vest
Pocket and Can Be Manufactured
at "a Minimum Cost.

John 7. Nagle, the well-known
Granite county mining man, has made
valuable invention which will with
out doubt net him a handsome profit
in time 1t is what he terms "Nagle $
Portable Burglar Proof Safety Lock. -
1t is a small contrivance, as described
By Mr.. Nagle in The Mail office this
morning, being only 3ai inches long
and weighing 33l ounces, and can be
carried in the vest pocket.
The Scientific American gives a good
description of the new invention in
its issue of February goth, when it
says: This is 1 s. .nple device which
may be carrie, III Tho pocket and con
venlentlv "a oiled to fasten doors or
window, beng readily removed when
the door Is to be opened or the window
raised or lowered. 1t consists of "a
block in which slides Il locking bar
engaged by pawls carried by the block.
there being at the outer end of the
locking bar q foot with teeth which
are brought into engagement with IA
door jamb by the closing of the door,
or with one of the meeting rails of the
sash i'll adjusting window, the block
being then moved and held III locking
engagement with the bar by the
pawls. -
1t is said to be utterly impossible for
"a door or window to be opened from
the outside when this valuable device
is attached and is consequently abso
lutely burlgar proof. 1t seems that Mr.
Nagle ought to make big stake out of
his invention when the fact is con
sldcred that it can be manufactured
for 10 cents, in nickel, and including "a
paper case, and sold for at least 80
cents to the trade. 1t looks as though
it would be an easy matter to interest
capital in such valuable invention.

4 VERY RICH STRIKE
Old Flint Greek Comes to the From
With Another Big Find
TO PHILIPSBURG
The Ant Property the Scene Of the New
Discovery-Said to Be the Granite
North Lead-Mining Notes.

During the past week an important
discovery in mineral was made in this
district which may eventually mean
more for Philipsbnrg than has the
famous Granite or Bi-Metallic. The
strike was made in the bottom of Il
175-foot shaft OH the Ant claim. a
property located midway between Phil
lpsburg and Granite, only few rods
distant from the grade, near the road
house. 1t is owned by Con and Bar
ney Peoples and Frank Hughes. Mr..
Hughes has been at work on the prop
erty for some time past. with a couple
OF men assisting him. and while sink
ing they uncovered the lead which
fairly dazzled them. The vein is about
eight feet wide, containing very rich
streak of ruby silver some ten inches
in width, which assays from $50 to
1900 ounces in silver to the ton.
The Ant claim is.located about eighty
rods north from tho Elizabeth shaft,
and is in direct line for tapping the
much anticipated north vein of the
Granite lead, which the late Captain
John W. Plummer and other mining
men familiar with the Granite have
always maintained existed and which
they have declared would excel the
south vein in richness and extent The
| dip of the vein in the Ant is westward
and is strong and well defined. and as
it SO closely resembles the Granite ore
the owners are quite confident that
their find is the north vein of the
Granite lead which, if true, means
that they have suddenly become multi
millionaires and that new era of pros
perity has dawned upon the Flint
Creek mining district. Let the fact be
known that the north lead of the Gran
ite has been tapped in the Ant and in
a short time every mining claim in
that vicinity will be operated upon
1t is presumed that some members .nf
the Granite company have had an idea
that the Ant was about in the right
location, as several years ago they
offered the owners $40, 900 for the
claim, but the price asked was $15 900,
and the deal was not made 1t may
be worth that many millions today,
and possibly more.
Con Peoples, one of the fortunate
owners, arrived from Eossland, B. c.,
last evening, in response to telegram
sent him by Mr.. Hughes announcing
the discovery

much encouraged by the change, and
greater hope is had that the present
management will continue.
1t is rumored that the former super
intendent of the Trout mine resigned
his post N order to Join the Cuban
army, and at the same time another
rumor is that the gentleman needed Il
superior officer above him in order to
make him do the right thing. We are
sorry.
Harry McCrimmon, the well and
very favorably known foreman at the
Trout mine, has resigned his position.
We hope the gentleman will have good
luck in his further ventures The good
will and wishes Of our community are
with him wherever he may g.

the rumor amounts to we have not

1t is said that the Bi Metallic
company will Immediately commence
the sinking Of two compartment shaft
on their property near the mill 1t
is well known fact that the company
has been sinking prospecting shaft
on a vein in that vicinity, which was
discovered while some improvements
on the mill were being made The
vein opened up in such an encouraging
manner that after sinking some 300
feet on it the company decided to sink
regular working shaft. Hence the re-
ported intention of sinking large

Some Interesting Information AbOut
the Amphfbian.

the Amphibian.
The male fur seal, or "beachmas-
ter" reaches full maturity at the age
of seven years. At that time his weight
is about 400 to 500 pounds, being con-
siderably heavier when first in from
the sea in the spring, or after feeding
In the fall, than in the intervening
period, when he fSsts on land and
grows gradually lean and weak. The
males vary considerably in color, the
general shade being black or dark
brown, with longer hair or bristles
of yellowish white. These are espe-
cially long and numerous on the thick
ened back of the neck, forming the so
called wig" The wigged males have
o rough, coarse coat, and their skins
arc without market value. The animal
makes its home on the rocky shores
of the islands, in large, closely massed
bands, forming what are called "rook-
cries" 1t is extremely gregarious; in
dividuals seldom venturing far from
the main body while on land, though
wandering about singly in the sea. The
female fur seal is much smaller than
the male, and has soft, smooth hair of
varying shades of brown, under which
is the dense, short, brown fur. The
female bears her first offspring at the
age OF three years, but her full growth
is not attained till two or three years
later. The average weight Of the
grown female is about so pounds. The
young of the fur seal, called a pup,
is born soon after the arrival of the fe-
male. It's weight at birth is about ten
pounds. The fur seal is polygamous
each male capable of holding a place
on the breeding grounds having from
one TO one hundred females in his
charge, constituting what is known as
"harem," the average number being
about 80. But the size of each family
Is subject to variation, depending no
chiefly on the strength of the male
but on the preference of the female foi
q location, and on the topography o
the ground. The young male is very
similar to the female in color and ap
pearance. He is not permitted to ente
the rookeries in the breeding season
The old males are very particular il
this regard, and the bachelors a
they are called, are forced to herd b.
themselves on what are known as tn
''hauling grounds" located near tn
breeding grounds, but distinct fror

THE LAWS OF NATURE.
They Are UnBending and Must lie
Obeyed.

They Are UnbendinE and Must Tie
Obeyed.
Nature has no pardon for Ignorance
or illusions. She is no respecter OF
persons. Her laws and her penalties
consider only what is, and have no deal
ings with semblances. BY this expert
ence we come to know what reality Is,
that there Is an external world to the
demands of which our senses, our rea-
son, our powers of action are all con-
cessions. The safety of each chain of
life is proportioned to the adaptation
of its links 10 these conditions. This
adaptation is in its essence obedience.
The obedience of any creature is con-
ditioned on its response in action TO
sensations or knowledge. Sense, per-
ception and intellect alike stand as adj
visers to Its power of choice. The
power of choice involves the need to
choose right. For wrong choice leads
to death. Death ends the chain of
which the creature is a link, and the
life of the world is continued by those
whose choice has not been fatal. That
"the sins of the fathers are visited
on the children" is, in the long run,
the expression of Infinite Mercy, "the
goodness and severity Of God" Sc
verify of condition and stress of com
petition are met in life by the sur
vival of those adequate to meet these
conditions. Thus "in creatures sore
bestead by the environment" when in
stinct and impulse fail, reason rises &c
insure safety. At lastwith the civilized
man reason comes to be a chief ele
lnent in guiding the choice of life
