YOUNG FOX
HUNTERS.
Three Months Old Puppies AT
Long Branch On The Trail.
"QUEEN," THE As
HOUR RUNNER.

The youngest fox hounds in the coun-
try are owned by Ben Withers, colored,
OF Long Branch. He has three puppies
that are three months old and are as
pretty as pictures. He frequently has
to go into the woods and bring them
home for they try to follow the old dogs
on fox hunt trail and he is afraid they
will get lost in the woods. Mr.. Jim
Bickerstaff said that one night recently
these three little puppies ran to Oil
Hollow, a distance Of two miles, where
they holed fox.
The mother OF these little fox hounds
is Queen" Ben's forty eight hour run
ner. Ben was afraid OF her pupping in
the weeds, thinking he might be unable
to flud them, so he kept her tied up.
However she got loose by some means
and when discovered she was after fox
and Ben found these three little puppies
scattered along the trail more than 200
yards apart. He now has to keep these
little ones blocked to prevent their try
ing to run. AS they came to this world
while the mother was running fox, it
is not unnatural that they, with their
natural fox-hunting instinct, should be-
gin their career 80 early in life.

Withers, Long Branch, Ky.

The minister of war, Gen. Andre. ac-

In order to spare them the trial of

GOLD MINE SOLD.
English Syndicate Buys the Portland
at Victor, Col, Paying
$15,OOO,OOO.

The Portland mine has been sold to
an English syndicate for $4,000 900.
The deal has been practically com
pleted, the purchasers being a combi-
nation of British financiers, including
the Exploration company, limited of
London; the Venture corporation.
Werner Belt & Co., the Great South
African firm, and number of the
leading individual capitalists of Lon
don. The Portland covers 1873 acres in
the richest section of Battle noun
tain, and has paid more in dividends
than any other mining company now
in existence in Colorado. The under
ground workings measure not far
from IS miles.
The mine was opened originally by
James Burns, James Doyle and John
Harman, all of whom it has made
millionaires. Subsequently a consoli-
dation of adjacent property was eff
fected, whereby w. S. Stratton came
into possession of about one third of
the stock.
Shipments were commenced in
April, 1894, and since that time the
ouput of the property has been $1O,-
100000. The amount paid in dividends
since that time has been $3,3O7, ,OsO.

stock is 26h cents, the highest price

NEW CAVE, is FOUND.
Great Cavern with Curious and
Beautiful Formations.
New Kind of Crystal Part of the
wonders of This Subterranenn
Passage Which May Outriv-
al Famous wind Cave.

A remarkable cave has been discov-
cred 16 miles west of Custer, in Custer
county, 5. d.. in the limestone formation.
The discovery was made by two young
Frenchmen named Mizhaud and Char
lie Bush. The entrance was easily
found, and, like the famous Wind cave
in Fall River county, this new one has
peculiar draft of air in and out of
the opening.
The owners have explored a passage
over half mile in length, and there
seems to be no end to it. There are
hundreds of chambers and caverns
along the route, the largest being over
$50 feet square.
The formation of the cave resembles
very closely that of Wind and Crystal
caves. which have become world-known
in the last few years. There is one
kind of lime water crystal, however,
that is found in abundance in the new
cave that as yet has not been found
in either of the better known cayerns
The new crystal is curiosity to relic
collectors. The boxworl in the new
cave is finer in texture than in Wind
cave and some of the popcorn" work
is wonderfully fine.
Those who have examined the new
cave state that it is a rival of Wind,
which is considered one of the won
ders of the world. 1t will be explored
fully this winter, and next season it
will be open to tourists. The entrance
is only few feet from the lithograph
stone quarry of the Black Hills Porce-
lain, Clay and Marble company.
