HS ecu "uAl aIuu inc f1Snerm1n,
In the fishing village OF Auchmithie
(the Musselcraig of Scott's CAN'T
quary") you may frequently witness
sea gulls flying into the houses of the
fishermen and partaking of food from
their hands. One of these sea birds was
in the habit of staying in fisherman s
house all the year round except at the
breeding season, when it left. Quite re,
Gently, while the gull was away, the
fisherman removed his home from
Auchmithie to Arbroath (the Fairport
of Scott's "Antiquary"), distant some
81 miles from the former place, taking
up his residence in South street of Ar
breath. The fisherman never expected
to see his old friend the gull again. 1t
was therefore much to his astonishment
that he beheld fortnight later the sea
bird come walking into his new resi-
dence with stately steps to resume his
old familiarities and household ways
with his housekeeper London Lady.

CROOKS CORRAL PLAcERS
MANAGER McCrane Returns From a Trip
TO the Company's Properties.

lanes McGrane, manager
of the Crooks Corral Placer
Co., has just returned from a
trip of inspection to the COM
pany's properties. The spe'
ciic purpose of MIR. McGrane's
visit was to investigate the
progress the contractors have
been making in the construct
ion of the new ditch, which
as told heretofore in the col
umns of the PRESS will ma
terially increase the capacity
of the producing ability of the
property. TO a Press re.
porter Mr.. McGrane said: 81
went over to Crooks Corral
on the 18TH and ascertained
that the flume was entirely
completed, its size being three
feet on the bottom and 10
inches deep, with a fall of one
half inch to every IL feet.
This was constructed under
contract by c. H. Humphrey
and is as pretty a piece OF
work as any man could posi-
bly, desire to see; every joint
is as nicely made as a joint on
a ship. 1t is one mile in length.
Gas far as the ditch is con-
cerned they have had a hard
Job and encountered more
rock than they anticipated,
but SO far as it has gone it is a
splendid job; they have COM
pleted so far two and three
quarters miles, and they have
yet mile and one.quarter to
do, which will be finished by
December Ist. The ditch is
three feet on the bottom, four
feet on the top and two feet
deep. Ed Liston is the con,
tractor on the ditch and de-
serves credit for his work so
far. | together with both con-
tractors went over the entire
job and investigated it from be.
ginning to end, and was per.
fectly satisfied with the work.
Gas we began operations
last year about the first of
April, we will in all probabil.
ity commence work again for
the ensuing year about the
same time, and anticipate
great results from the work so
far accomplished"

Halloween Party.

October 81, 1899, will be green
memory in the minds of those who
attended the Halloween Sheet and
Pillow Case party given by MIR.
and Mrs. Martin Wagner last
night. The greatest preparations
had been made for the affair and
it was unquestionably the SWEETEST
function Of the season. Primarily
the invitations were written in
lead pencil on brown straw paper
and were as primitive as possible
in style. The answers were strange
and queer and almost every known
language was utilized by the differ
ent invited ones and some Of the
dueerest answers imaginable We're
sent and they we e all hung on the
walls for the general inspection of
the guests.
When the guests arrived they
found the fparlors decorated with
wheat and flowers. From the cell
ing were suspended pumpkins,
having faces cut out of them and
candles inside, which furnished
light, and the dim light, together
with the ghostly appearance Of the
silent viii 'e-robc figures gave an
eerie appearance 10 the scene. At
ter the guests had all arrived,
from the dark lccesses of the hall
issued the sweet strains of waltz
and silently the white-robed fig
ures arose and glided about the
room in perfect time to the meas
ure. AS time woie on the unmask-
ing occurred, amid much laughter,
for very few had guessed the 9TH
ers correctly, and hen to the de-
lightfui strains OF Q music dane
ing was INDUCED in, in earnest
Then games were enjoyed, and fl
nally all the guests were requested
to repair to the banquet hall, prior
to which the happy swains tried
their luck at "ducking" for apples
in mammoth tub, and happy was
he who won his 'ladye faire"
The guests assumed their seats and
waited for refreshments to be
served. From the buffers pantry
issued the sounds of dishes rat
thing and it was evident that pre-
parations were being made to serve
an elaborate repast, but after the
guests had sat there possibly twen-
ty minutes, the walters came
around and served each guest with
a glass of water and tooth pick,
and then Mr.. Wagner said in his
blandest tones: 1--WE will now re-
sumo our merriment upstairs" and
amid laughter at being fooled, the
guests re-ascended the stairs, only
to be recalled for the real supper,
which was an elaborate affair
When the lads and lassies had
danced to their hearts content
they, amid joy and laughter took
their departure as the clocks pro-
claimed the witching hour of mid
night.
