QUAIL-HUNTING IN EGYPT.
Half a Million a Year Ensnared by
Natives.


Natives.
Much has been said lately Of the cap
ture of quail in Egypt, touching the
protest made by Frenchmen against
carrying the birds across French terri
tory for English use. Until this mat
ter rose nobody seemed to know that
quail existed in Egypt, but they do
by the millions.
The passage Of bands of quail over
the coast of the delta of the Nile, from
Port Said to Alexandria, begins in Sep
TENDER and lasts a month and a half,
the birds arriving in little groups and
alighting on the dunes.
Generally the chase is made by means
of nets of five meters high, which the
natives extend on cords fastened to
poles, in the fashion of curtains Gid
ing on their rods.
In reality the net is double. The first
near the side of the sea is of meshes
very large and loose, bat on the back
is another net where the bird will real
ly come and perch itself In the folds
formed by this second net of small
meshes. There Is another method Of
capture which 10 more picturesque
Rows of dried branches are placed on
the shore. At the foot of each branch
is disposed a tuft of fresh herbs, in
the middle Of which is arranged an
opening which ends in a snare. The
quail, tired by its Journey, takes refuge
in the branch, without figuring to itself
that it is going to put itself into trap
where native will surprise it and kill
it. With these perfected means of de-
struction. 1t is not astonishing that each
year more than half a million of these
poor little birds are taken.-St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.

REPUBLIC.

The Monarch is looking well in No. /
shaft, which is 30 feet deep.
Stopping is going on in the Quilp tun-
mel few feet north OF the winze.
The Chico shaft is going down more
rapidly than for some time, and is
down 290 feet.
The ore in the north drift on the in
termediate level of the San Poll is bet
ter than it has ever been.
The Butte and Boston double COM
partment shaft is going down at a good
rate. 1t is now 100 feet deep.
The men working on the Flag Staff
have found some fine ore in the tunnel
that is being driven southeast of the
shaft

been timbered and everything is in
readiness for the installation of the
steam hoist and pump.
The Ungga tunnel, Wauconda camp, is
in 165 feet, and is making an average
of three feet of progress each day. Only
two shifts are employed.
The ore body in the south drift on
the San Poll as well as in the stope in
the intermediate level remains I'M
changed either in width or value.
The Mountain Lion mill drops
stamps with the greatest regularity.
During the last 80 days the stamps
have not stopped more than 80 min
utes. The ore maintains its value
with surprising regularity.
A station is being cut on the shaft of
the Tom Thumb and when it is COM
pleted drifting will begin on the ledge
that was recently struck in the shaft.
The compressor plant is being placed
as rapidly as possible. 1t is probable
that all the machinery will not be in
complete working order much before
July 1.
The shaft on the Republic is being
sunk at a rather rapid rate, and it is
down about 20 feet. The mill is going
forward at a wonderfully rapid rate.
There is still much to do before it will
be ready to run. There is reason to be-
Heve that about August l it will be so
far completed that much of the ma
chinery will be ready to run, and it is
by no means improbable that the entire
plant will be~in operation at that time.

MINING NOTES.

Work is progressing well on the new
plant of the Morning Min
ing company at the mouth of Grouse
gulch, near Mullan, Idaho.
Portland, Oregon, seems to be as far
from securing a smelter as ever. The
committee having it in charge have
not made report for several weeks.
The mica mines east of Vollmer,
Idaho, are attracting considerable at
tenti0n. In the last month several
representatives of capital have inspect
ed properties in the district.
A force of men is still at work on the
Moscovite mine, which is one of the
best developed, having about 1000 feet
of tunnel, and from which several tons
OF mica have been taken and shipped
this year.
Edward Cavanaugh of Butte, Mont,
miner employed in the Mountain
Iron, walked into chute on the 1900
foot level. He sustained injuries from
which he died shortly afterward
William Kerr, president of the Ad-
ans county bank of Hastings, has re-
ceived word from the Denver mint that
a gold" brick he had purchased from
a stranger at Leavenworth, Kan, a few
days ago for '13,60O, is made of copper.
1t was reported that the last car
load of ore shipped from the Deer Trail
mine in Cedar Canyon, Wash, had net
ted the company $4,000. 1t is known
that the mine is making regular ship
ments and that the returns have been
large, but no official returns have been
given out for some time.

OREGON MINES.

Amidst general activity in the east
ern Oregon gold fields placer mining is
this year reviving to a considerable de-
gree. Several new claims have recently
been staked and in some instances large
amounts have been taken out in very
short time. On Spanish Gulch $4,000
was taken out in two weeks, and on
Salmon creek two Cinnamon washed
out $3.50 in 10 days. On Kolb's guleh
single miner washed out $500 this
spring, and party of six miners made
$50 per day by shoveling dirt into
sluice boxes. In a free gold quartz
ledge a pocket was opened which
yielded $500, and a piece of rock con-
tanning So was found in the dirt that
badger had thrown out of hole. Hun
dreds of prosPectors are busy scanning
the country in search of the yellow
metal, and almost every day new
quartz is being brought in to be as
sayed. Sumpter is becoming a great
mining center and is attracting the at
tention of many eastern capitalists
looking for chances for investment.
Inquiries are received almost every day
from eastern men in regard to the
mines in this section, and many rep
resentatives of capital have been out
to look at the mines.
Surrounding Sumpter within ra-
dius of 20 miles are over 1000 quartz
locations, % of which are large pro-
ducers and 200 others which have over
$4,000 worth of development work done
on them. Within the same radius are
perhaps $50 placer mines that are
worked annually and pay WELL Be
sides these mines copper has been 10
Gated and mined in large amounts.
In the Golconda mine, one of the
richest in this section, ore running as
high as $4,000 per ton in gold has beer
taken out Other regular producers o.
this section are the Columbia, Cougar
Bonanza, Red Boy, North Pole, Badger
Union Companion, hex, Baisley, Elk
horn, Virtue and Conner Creek which
together yield annually over $1,000, 900
There are besides these mines ten ir
regular producing mines that average
about $4,000 a year, and several new
producers that show an output of abou
100000 per month, or s1,200.000 pc

that Fred was in error about his moth

rafting away at lively pace. Sud-
denly an idea crossed my mind. l fin
gered around in my vest pocket and
from its depths pulled a scrap of pa
per. 1t was Mrs. Damman's welcome
to her daughter-in-law ON the night of
her arrival as bride. Quick as flash
pinned it to the door, and then with
drew to my own apartment to await
the appearance of husband and wife.
The young wife's joyous cry startled
me. From motherp she gasped, as
her eyes fell on the piece Of paper on
the door. And then she read aloud
sentence after sentence, alternately
sobbing and laughing. Dear children:
God bless your home coming. l love
you both, dear daughter and beloved
son. l could not wait for you, because
l had to go to the theater Your
mother"
Fred, Fred" she sobbed 'your
mother wants me to come back again.

rushed in. With sob she threw her
self into the elder woman's arms. For

glad l am to be at home again with

stood motionless at my door. What
next? Mrs. Damman had not opened
her mouth. What if she were still OBJ
stinent and would drive again from
home the penitent girl? But no, heard
her voice now.
"My dear child" she said softly, $50

me, do what you will with me; you are
my darling mother anyhow"
And they were reconciled. They
called me to witness their joy, and l
had hard work to make Fred under

per on the door that had brought about
peace and harmony in the little house

fess it to his wife never heard of it
