INCfAN PRAIRIE DOG HUNTS
Flesh OF til . Little Animals la ID eem ed
d Dainty Dish by the
Navajos.

The Navajo Indian, w9i1e he cannot
be prevailed upon to eat a rabbit, is
greedi1y fond of fat prairie dogs
Large communities of these small ani-
mails abound on the western plains,
and the Navajo has resorted to may
ingenious methods for trapping his
coveted dainty. One Of them is by the
aid of a bit of mirror placed at the
entrance to a burrow. When the ami
NAL ventures from his bedroom, deep
underground, he sees familiar
image knocking him a the front door,
and he hurries out to confront the
5mpudent intruder when he is pinned
to the ground with an arrow.
But the most effective method is
what the Indians call the rain hunt.
AS soon a the steady downPour Of
summer rain begins every Naval

The DRAGON SCREEN.
Wonderful Porcelain Shield That
Hides Traces of Vandalism in
City Picking.

Very few people even in Picking seem
to have heard of It. For, of course,
till lately none were allowed to drive
the lake through the parklil1e grounds
interspersed with rookeries, says the
Cornhin. The screen is perhaps 20
feet high, and of porcelain through
out, and on it in h gh relief a row of
dragons standing on their tails, and
possibly five feet high, old gold, dull
red, cream, dark blue, then over again,
the two dark blues confronting each
other in the center. What was that
screen meant to shelter from the
world? Now behind it there is only a
scene of frantic desoIa ton of the most
complete vandalisrc-tree s ha cked and
broken, marble columns RACED to the

Discoveries IN Weiser Canyon that
May Be Of Importance.

A few days ago the SIGNAL man
was shown an assay certificate from
a reliable assayer giving returns on
samples from recent discoveries in
the Weiser canyon above Council.
The certificate gave values exceeding
$50 in gold and silver-chiefiy sill
yer. The ore is dark gray and of a
refractory character. 1t has been
found on the main Weiser river
about two miles from the Stevens
place and has been overlooked so
many years because the stream car
ries no free gold, the guide by
which nearly all of Idaho's prospect
ing has been done. There are twelve
locations already made, and some
development to ascertain values will
be done.
P. P. Shelby and W. M. Perrill
are interested in the claims. 1t is
learned that very experienced min
ing man of Colorado, man of more
than ordinary note, saw some OF the
rock, and, without having been told
that it had value, at once became
interested in it, saying that it was
fna character Of base ore and should
certainly be worked upon. He also
stated that he had found evidences
of great many base ore leads in the
hills about Council, and that witt

With this gown a hat Of sunburned

very simply with a spray of cornf1ow-

Linen is particularly nice for chill

Is also excellent for seashore and for
