turers elsewhere.
Last Saturday morning n ferrihie ne
ident happened at the Joe Dandy mine
Cripple Creek district. In which two
men lost their lives. They are Wiihnn
Van Why, aged 33 and married, and
w. l.. Lambert, aged 10. The men
were being holsted from the bottom OF
the Joe Dandy shaft, where they had
lighted the fuse on -four shots they had
lust finished loading The shaft Is 10
feet deep. They had been raised about
sixty feet when the pin tlnt holds the
drum of the hoist In place came out In
some unaccountnble manner. the weight
of the men at once reversed the drum
and they dropped TO the bottom of the
shaft. Almost simultaneously with
their alighting the shots exploded and
both were instantly killed. Lambert's
head and body were horribly mutilnt-
ed the chest being blown full of holes.
The stoekmen of Carbon county, like
those of every other county in Wyom-
ing, are much troubled by wolves and
coyotes. Wolf-hunting is quite an in
dustry. says the Denver Republican.
and lately stockmen have discovered
that the best way is to hunt them with
dogs Mr. William Turnbull of Sara
toga is the owner of eighteen wolf
hunting dogs. His dogs are grey
hounds, stag hounds. Russian wolf
hounds and crosses of all of these, to
getlisr with the greyhound and bull
dog crossed. Mr.. Turnbull's "McCnr-
thy half bull and half grey, unaided,
caught large wolf and would have
killed him alone as he had the animal
down when Mr.. Turnbull arrived. His
fox-hounds have been known to remain
on the trail of wolf for twenty-five
hours.
Ogden Inst Wednesday witnessed the
spectacle of United States soldiers beg
ging in the streets for something to
eat. They were members of party
of the Flrty-sixth United States volun-
teer infantry, and came from South
birmingham. Massachusetts. in COM
mand of Colonel Schuyler. When they
marched through the streets. while
they made n good military appearance,
they all acted tired. After their march
they scattered through the city, and
many little purses were made up for
them by the citizens whom they hap
pened to meet. They took the money
hnnnht broad Thav Gtpfa1 that
they had been fed on hardtack and
canned beef with coffee from the time
they started. The regiment went west
over the Southern Pacific tonight.
| There have been n number of deser-
tions since the regiment started.
In three years Mr.. Turnbull's dogs
have killed $50 coyotes. besides sew
eral large wolves. The bounty recelv-
ed has paid the expense of keeping the
dogs and saddle horses. 1t is not an
unusual thing for fast. well-bred
hound to kill itself in the chase. Re
Gently one of Mr.. Turnbuil's best dogs
ran until 1t had hemorrhage of the
lungs and died, and shortly afterward
one of his large stag hounds ran until
he fell in n fit and had TO be carried
home on horse. Even with so many
well trained dogs, the coyotes often

A Leadville dispatch says: Fuel has

enormous find which was made several
days ago, but not made public nj once
The new ore body was discovered nj
the 50O-foot level, in the Starr shaft
and consists of three feet of lead snnd
which samples across 1.400 ounces sill
yer. This assay is not the analysis OF
specimen, but is the average value
of the entire three feet, which also runs
80 per cent. lead. The management Is
sacking the ore and has driven on the
new vein several feet. and as far as
the drift has gone the ore body retains
its richness. Surrounding this wonder
full body of lead sand. which resembles
that of the Robert Il. Lee and LittIe
Fitfsburg of the early days there is an
immense stope of high grade Iron
which Will average over 200 ounces In
silver and 80 per cent. excess iron
which Will reduce the treatment to less
than 50 per ton. The shipments of 300
tons per day will probably be increased
by the first of the month. as the policy
of the management is to take out the
ore as fast as possible.
Santa Fe Is in the throes of n ne.
culiar church war at present. Rev. G.
l.. Madden, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church in this city. had
served five years as pastor, and was
transferred to the church at Bland at
the last session of the Methodist con.
ference, held at Ration n week ago
Rev. A. A. Hyde of Alamogordo was
appointed TO succeed Mr.. Madden. The
local congregation did not like the an
pointment. They. therefore. ut n Sc.
cret meeting. decided TO close the
church and telegraphed Mr.. Hyde and
FAMILY not to come to Santa Fe. as the
congregation had seeded and closed
the church. Mr.. Hyde and family.
however, came anyway. and arrived
TINS week. They took possession of the
parsonage, and Mr.. Hyde has announc.
ed services for next Sunday, maintain.
ing that as the church is partly mis-.
sion church, 1t belongs to the church
at large. and not to the local congrega,
ton.

third and last day of the lion hunt was
quite devoid of interest. Less game
