MINING CAMP TRICKS.
ORx fosfance where n scheme Work
ed the Wrong Way


There is great deal that is out Of
the ordinary in mining" said Samuel
Mott of Boise City, Ida, although
think from personal experience ii is
probably more so in the relation than
in the actual happening. In every
mining camp l have known there
have always been charges that those
working vein had gone through into
the next claim in taking out the ore.
and consequently were taking out
what wasn't theirs. These claims 1t
was always difficult to substantiate,
for the reason that the offender, OF
course, would not allow the offended to
enter his W. kings, and without a sur
vey ii would be impossible to make out
a case. Every subterfuge and excuse
possible was resorted to to get into q
suspected mine.
Il remember one case In an apex of
vein suit, where the workings had
been temporarily shut down and a man
called Johnny Come Lately heavily
armed, was on guard. The other side
had tried again and again to get by
Johnny but had always failed, when
one man. vino knew that Johnny was
an enthusiastic hunter. hired an ac-
quaintance of his to stroll by with a
gun over his arm and to engage John
NY in a conversation about bar II
worked to a charm, and while he was
thus engrossed they managed to slip
in and survey the mine.
''Then there was the case of the
Last Chance against the Tyler. In this
case the workings happened to run to
gether, and the Last Chance people
were working the same vein from un.
derneath that the Tyler owners were
working from on top. Knowing they
would sooner or later break through
the Tyler people prepared smudge-
that is, saturated cordwood that would
give forth a tremendous smoke-whlch
they hoped, would drive the Las
Chance people out Of their mine. But
when they finally set it of it went the
other way and made the Tyler work
ings absolutely untenable. Indeed three
of the miners were overcome and wert
rescued only with great difficulty

How far can a cat jump without
hurting itself was partly exemplified
in Brooklyn the other night A pretty
white cat ran up a tree to get away
from 4 dog and al last crawled out on
a small branch at least 60 feet above
the ground. The branch was not much
more than a twig. and the cat could
not turn around. She sat up there
on the swaying limb and meowed. At
last the twig broke, and down came
the cat. She alighted on the ground
on her feet. looked around for a mo-
ment and then bounded away; which
shows that 90 foot drop does not hurt
a Brooklyn cat, whatever it might dc
to cats Of other places.-Pittsburg Dis

The Storm Was General.

From reports received the heavy
rains of Friday seems to have been
very general, with damage frsm
concurrent causes resulting in
several localities.
At Gainesville the rain was
heavy, accompanied by a fierce
electrical storm, during which at
least four buildings were struck by
lightning and injured to some ex-
tent. No loss of life is reported.
At Waco the heavy downpour
caused two streams running
through the city to overflow and
three persons are known to have
been drowned, while the damage
to property is estimated at $50, =
600.
AT Blum, in Hill county, the
rain was accompanied by a cyclone
which wrecked several houses and
injured quite number OF people.
The floods extended to the gulf,
all trains being tied up at Houston
on account of washoutS, while in
the section tributary to San An
tonic all streams are out of their
banks and much damage is thought
to have been done.
1t seems from general reports
that Ardmore got off very lightly,
as we have received no informa-
tion of serious damage in this Sec
ton.
