SO out we went down the Boulevard. As we
reached Sixty-flfth street another dog ran up to
my little Curlylocks and the two scampered
down the street, never needing me. I stayed
there and waited for my dog and I went all
around the streets and never found him."
Don't be alarmed. lady" said the Sergeant.

has been stolen, i know. for Curlylocks never

your policemen to hunt for him. and 1 will pay
a nice reward to the man who gets him.
The Sergeant and Capt. Price both assured her
to find TINT dog. and the woman left. somcwhat

sheep, $4,000, 600; swine, $4,000, 900. Horses,

decreased below the totals of last year and tho
year before. The number of sheep and mules
increased, and, in proportion to the num-
Der OF them, mules increased moro rapidly
than any other. There are now 1000 900 fewer
horses In this country than there were two years
ago and the number Is steadily declining In con-
sequence Of the use of electricity on street rail-
roads. the popularity of bicycles and motor car.
riages. and the superior endurance and smaller
cost Of maintenance Of mules. Tho American
mule has been criticised adversely by essayists,
humorists. persons considering themselves
hunorists. and superficial observers of Ameri.
can life, manners. and customs. but 1t is n fact.

service. and better able to stand the climate

There are four States in which mules are very
Missouri, Texas, Georgia. and Ten
nessee; There are 800. 900 mules. by the last
official report. in Texas. and the value of them
Is in excess Of $4,000 600. Louisiana has
fewer-but b~etter-mules. and all the Gulf
States are represented largely by this farm ami
NAL. South Carolina has more mules than
horses by nearly so por cent. Georgia has moro
mules than horses, and almost in the same pro-
portion. The average value of q horse on n
farm in Georgia is $4s; the average value Of a
mule is $62, and cows are sold for 800. Florida,
possibly on account Of the fatncss of the
state and the moisture. has few mules. but
in Alabama the number of mules and OF
horses is almost identical; there is only, a
difference of a couple of hundred between tho
two in the State. with 100000 OF each. In the
Western ,Statco. and particularly in the North.
west, mules are not numerous. being used prin-
cip9lly in mines, Recently an ingenious in.
ventor has devised q plan for doing away with
this employment of mules by substituting an
electric appliance for the carriage OF ore. In
California. and especially in southern Califor-
mia, in agricultural operations the number of
mules is considerable. and It is; moreover. in.
only $4,000 mules in the United States. In
number OF horses has been steadily declining.

KLoNDIKE QUARTZ LEDGEs.
1T believed They VIII Beat the Place,
Output.

SAN Francisco, March IA letter from Daw-
son City dated Jan. 81, from Virgil Moore, as
sayer, gives the first authentic details of the
large finds of quartz on the Klondike. Moore
says:
Last week a man working for wages on No.
ri Eldorado uncovered q quartz ledge. He said
nothing. but quietly staked n quartz claim and
came down to record it. An assay OF specimens
brought in by him revealed that some of the
pieces would 20 as high as $3.50. 900 to the ton.
Then what a stampede there was thitherl Ell.
dorado and Bonanza Creeks were soon black
with prospectors looking for lodges.
"On Fox Gulch. which comes into No. go Bo-
nanza. two rich lodges were uncovered. Or
No. II. Eldorado. a rich find was reported, and
In less than a week these two rich placer creeks
have been staked wherever n ledge crops out.
Fred Berry. younger brother of Clarence
Berry Of Fresno. has located n quartz ledge that
can be traced from No. @. Eldorado. clear over
the hill to Skookum Gulch. About n mile from
the mouth of Gold Bottom Creek. n small stream.
called here Apup, enters, and there are found
large blocks of rose quartz.
"A 5000 foot ledge has been located and ex.
tensive Developments will follow next spring.
The belief is constantly gaining ground among
men well posted that the Klondike placers are
but a drop In the bucket compared with the
quartz output in the future"
From Seattle comes the story. told by Thomas
Elliott of Dawson, that placers have been found
on Big Salmon River, n tributary of the Lewes
River, which yield $3.50 to the pan.
VANCOUVER, March There is no fear or
the early collapse Of the Klondike rush, for by
the latest boats arriving daily stories are boing
brought down which will decide thousands of
wavering men to yield to go to the Klon-
dixie for wealth. Tho steamer Danube arrived
to-day from Skagway. bringing back from
Dawson. William w. Nicholson. formerly OF the
mounted police. Nicholson took a shipload
OF cattle over the Dyea trail and sold the
entire herd at Dawson for 81 n pound,
clearing over 500, 900 by the transaction.
He shows n check from Gov. Walsh. who
paid $1.275! for 1,275 pounds of beef. Nicholson
Is the very latest man from DAWSON. He says
miners are wild at that town over n big strike
on Rosebud Creek. emptyinK into Hunker,
before bedrock is reached. Many other creeks
already known are turning out hig, but tho
whole excitement Is over the Rosebud, which.
IT Is said. contains the richest pay gravel ever
discovered.
Nicholson says that at Dawson 1t is estimated
by conservative people that $50. 600, 900 IN gold
dust Will come out OF Dawson In tho next two
bonts.
At present the Dyea trail is in splendid condi.
ton. The health of the men on tho trail and in
SkaRway and Dyea is good. Few deaths have
occurred, but the dogs are dying with distemper
by scores. and prospcctors are putting them out
or their misery and going back TO the coast for
horses. which in q short time will be used alto
gether on the trails.

THE LAW IN THE CASE.
TWAS so Plain and simple That There
Was No Need of an
Appeal.

The man in the southwest had stolen the
horse beyond the peradventure of doubt,
for he had been taken with the horse under
him and the owners name was on the
blanket Under the circumstances he
should have been thankful that he had
been granted even so much as trial by a
judge on a soap box because many such of,
tenders, with far less evidence of guilt, had
been swung up to the nearest telegraph pole
on sight. But this one had had trial and
the verdict had been duly announced
Gents" remarked the Judge, who was at.
tired in a red flannel shirt and sand colored
pantaloons, take the prisoner"
The eager crowd made rush for him. when
q lawyer from the effete east, who was pres
cnt by the merest accident, shouted to the
judge:
stop this business. You are acting con.
trary to the law"
The Judge, being a good .natured fellow and
gentleman by instinct, stopped it as re-
quested.
whats that the gent says?" he asked.
This procedure is contrary to the law
replied the lawyer.
"What law" said the Judge, in surprise
"rhe accepted law of the land"
VI reckon not" smiled the judge
But | tell you it is, persisted the law
yer,
cav, go iangle yourself" exclaimed the
judge Don't know law? Law is rule
of action prescribing what is right and pro
lhibiting what is wrong. Now, mister" and
he continued in less friendly tone, "if you
air ready to tell these here gents that it is
wrong to hang a man fer boss stealin' you
have got the permission of the court to do it.
but the court amt goin' to be responsible
fer what happens to man with them sen
