FLOAT IN THEIR OWN BALLOONS.
Spiders That Navigate the Air in ships of
Their Own Construction,

Travellers who have wandered
through the mountain region Of Cali
fornia, removed from the ordinary ave-
nues of travel, have noticed a species
of spiders that traverse long distances
upon balloons of their own construc-
ton. AS a stroller who recently de-
scended the bank by a little trail
crouched low in the shadow of a wild
lilac he saw against the dark green
bank of the opposite canyon a cob
web afioat; then another, drifting down
the aerial channel on the wind 9th
ers followed-a procession of webs was
passing; some We're long and formed
of single thread of silk; others had
a delicate mass Of fabric attached
Presently one of them came so near
that he put out his hand and caught
it.
1t was a perfect balloon and the aero
naut-a small spider-sat complacently
half an inch in length, light as feath-
er, and supported by long thread that
reached away undulating and curving
upward. Scores of these aeronauts
passed by, drifting up the little cam
yon, borne aloft by the upward cur
rent of air. The stroller noticed
number Of spiders on the leaves and
branches in singular attitudes, and then
it occurred to him that there was a
spider migration, and that instead of
walking or crawling away the insects
were going, like Andree. by balloon
More on the leaves of the wild lilac
were preparing for the journey across
the chasm, forming, building and
launching their balloons. A spider that
had been actively climbing up a branch
of a neighboring oak now stood on an
outer leaf and prepared to make it's
balloon. 1t had a wonderful arrange
ment of spinnerets in which the bal
loon making material, which is also
employed to construct nets and traps,
is stored.
Some of the spiders have an ad1i-
tional spinning organ and a comblike
implement upon the hind legs, by
which they comb out the silk, making
tangle of fine webs. Thus they are
well prepared to make cables for bal
looms, guy ropes, net and, by the aid
of the comb, fluffy platform web.
Some of the spiders made little plat
forms of fluffy web as they went; 9TH
ers merely chung to the thread, but
in one way or another scores of them
crossed the canyons and travelled
through the air, aeronauts in all the
name implies.

cigars in this country is that it costs
just as much to import cheap Manila
cigar as it does to import the more ex-
pensive Havanas, the customs duties
being levied by the pound and not by
the cost price of the article. In this
way 2-cent Manila becomes a 15-cent
cigar when it reaches New York or
Chicago or Milwaukee and people will
probably prefer a good Key West for
some time to come

informs The Herald that he is making
good progress in the development of
this promising property, which is sur
rounded by such noted producers as the

Big Copper Proposition.

Joseph E. Ray Of Fillmore, who is in

interested in a copper proposition near
the north end of the Buckskin noun
tains and not far from Kanab, which
promises to develop into a world
beaten.
There are five claims in the group,
which endline on each other along the
vein, and Mr.. Ray states that there are
three parallel lodges within fifty feet
of each other, each about four feet in
width. ali of which will carry avera ge
values of from II to 10 per cent copper
to the ton.
The property is easily accessible, and
the ground is heavily timbered, while
there is a good water supply in the

o. J. Salisbury, W. E. Hubbard and

mining ground in Ophir mining district
and formed the Old Resolute Mining
company. The mines are located on
Chloride hill, above the Utah Gem,
which has produced more thar $200,00
The owners of the ResOlute believe that
they have one of the best shOwings in
Ophir mining district and will put on a
force of men Immediately to develop
their ground. The vein is a contact
vein, lying between slate and lime. The
ore is very high grade. Considerable
of this ore is already exposed. The
shaft, which is down go feet and has
almost paid for itself so far, and the
superintendent confidently expects to
be making shipments before long.
George st. Clair of Ophir will be the
superintendent OF this promising prop
art
