He Is Not Surprised

A letter from an old friend and
an old-iimer in th"se parts, Robert
Larimcr, shows that he is now in
the position of disciplinarian and
teacher at the Indian school at
Phoenix, Arizona. Mr.. Larimer
says that it is a much larger school
than the one at Carson, Nevada,
from which he was transferred,
and commands a larger salary.
He says that Phoenix is a pretty
place and trees, shrubs and vines
grow to perfection and ut a won
dcrful rate, although tho climate
gets pretty warm at times. He
says that the cold reliable" FREE

prised to hear of the rich quartz
strikes which have been made in
this county this year, as he has
always been satisfied of the min
eral wealth of this great section
and like good many of the res
of us, is only surprised that th'

ago. He thinks the influx Of new
population which we have had thi

A. d. Wheeler ~ prominent
mining man Of Florence, is in
Grangeville, bearing the cheering
news Of a new strike of the yell
low metal at Marshal lake. The
specimen exhibited by Mr.. Whee-
Ter is one of the richest ever ex-
hibited in Grangeville, being stud
ded with gold all over. In re-
sponse to the query, Mr.. Wheeler
said, Eyes the strike is wonderful,
and not alone in the richness of the
ore, but in the continuity of the
vein and it's size, it being five feet
wide, of which two feet is this
rock exhibiting the rich ore, and
the residue is high-grade also,
but of course not as rich as this. :"
As Mr.. Wheeler's statements are
valued very highly here among
mining men several gentlemen
started from here for the scene of
the new strike this morning. Mr..
Wheeler is a large owner in the
Hiyu mine.
A visit to Cottonwood shows a
lot OF new buildings in course OF

gressive town, and everybody re-

two stories high. The lower floor
is 34x45 feet, with a stage 34x2C
feet. The upper story is divided
into lodge room, ante room and

building is a credit to the towr
and to the order by whose enter

the wild Nascope Indians. north Of Hamilton
Inlet who occasionally bring skins TO the trad
ers on the coast The animal is little known to
white men, and has never been fully described.
The caribou. which is the only deer Of Labrador,
is fairly abundant at all times in some places,
as it migrates the country.
SEALS SEEN IN LABRADOR.
or the seals. the most important commercially
are the harp and hood seals. which come south
in the winter by millions. to bear their young.
and go north again when the ice melts in the
late spring The two seals which remain all
the year on the southern Labrador coast are
the harbor seal and the jar seal (phocafGtda)
Among the other animals referred to by Dr.
Morris may be mentioned the beautiful Canada
lynx, the destructive porcupine. the beaver. the
martcn the rabbit and the hare The abundance
Of bird and animal life Is due, he says, to the
immense quantities Of edible berries which
are to be found at all seasons in Labrador
The curlew berries and two kinds OF cranberries
hang upon the bushes all winter. and are re-
vealed as the falls off them. In summer
and autumn about twenty varieties Of edible
berries found in great plenty.
Although they cannot be classed strictly as
wild beasts. Dr. Morris says that the Esqumau
dogs. which are usel as draught animals in
winter become wolf-like and savage enough in
summer. when they have nothing to DO. Many
people have been killed by them. and yet they
have the true wolf cOwardce and when reso-
lutely faced may usually be cowed and subdued
They never become really tame. or show any
affection for their owners.
In speaking OF the fish OF the coast DR.. Nor
ris says that although only cod and herring are
much taken now, there Is a delicious small sal
mon. the "caplin." which Is destined to become
commercially important In the future. 1t Is
about the size Of large smet. and is excellent
both fresh and dried To sportsman the most
interesting fish the large salmon and the
sea and brook trout The fact that salmon and
sea trout may be caught at all seasons in Sand
wich Bay, into which four large rivers empty,
decides DR.. Morris thinks, point upon which
there has been doubt. by proving that in their
annual mgratons these fish do not go far from
the mouths Of the rivers in which they are born.
Or Morris has many excellent photographs Of
salmon ascending a river and in their course
leaping a waterfall twelve feet high. The
pictures show that the fish uses its tail for pro-
pulsion through the air until il reaches the de-
sired level; then it spreads its pectoral fms and.
using the tail as a rudder sails the rest OF the
distance. II is the great momentum OF It's
course that carries il upward. To be able to
leap to a perpendicular height Of twelve feet il
must have upon leaving the water, an initial
velocity of eighteen miles an hour.

INDICATIONS THAT SOME RELATION EXISTS Be

An English tailor recently sued his landlord

been stricken with dlphtheria, and had died in
consequence. The believed that bad drain
age was the cause Of his child's Illness. and the
jury. taking the same view. awarded him dam
ages to the amount Of 81 $50
The opinion OF jury. presumably made up Of
men that were not especially versed in sanitary
science can hardly be regarded as throwing
much light on the relations that exist between
drains and diphthera: but the case has given
rise to a discussion In the medical press which
Is entitled to consideration. During the trial
one Of the doctors suggested that the child
caught the dpAtherla In school. and evidence
was presented to show that a schoOmate Of the
girl attacked at about the same time. An
other physician, however. confident that the
drains were responsible for the trouble.

profession that sewer gases. accumuations OF
