SMALLEST PONY ON EARTH.
Old, 1t lis Only Twenty-Five
Inches High.

The smallest colt in the world is
owned by G. H. Hackstead, black
smith living near Ludlow, Ky. 1t
weighs "a pounds and is only % inches
tall.
The colt was foaled on farm near
Fountain Ferry Park. Its owner con-
sidered it worthless and sent it to Mr..
Hackstead. AT birth it only weighed
about ~ pounds. although it was per-
fectly formed. Since that time 1t has
grown slowly, and for the last two
months there has been almost no
change in its height and weight. If
it stops growing now there is no doubt
that it is the smallest horse in the
world,
The colt is perfectly healthy and is
we'll formed and strong, Its dam wa
a mustang pony of average size and
its sire was a good-sized horse. The
cross should have produced medium
sized horse. The colt is good-tempered,
although very frislsy. 1t has been
taught to follow it's master like dog
and is very affectionate. The freak
has attracted much attention since it
has been on exhibition.

good wagon road leads to the mine, ant
except what has been removed for local
use in Grants Pass, none other ha,
been hauled over this road for any pur,
pose.
A lime kiln stands at the base Of the
mountain, in which the surface rock
has been prepared and made into lime
for local usage.
From the lime kiln the marble shows
up to height of 400 feet or more in
one huge mass. II extends to the south
from the kiln for distance Of 1000 feet
From this immense frontage quarry
stands from which blocks Of solid mar
bic, from five to 25 feet square. without
a crack or flaw, can be removed. II one

will find that few, II any, other quarries
exist anywhere else in the world Of such
broad dimensions.
Leigh Harnett, mining and mineral
expert, and good authority ON mines
and mining, pronounces 1t as the worlds
greatest quarry. He says there is no
need OF the people OF the Pacific Coast
depending almost exclusively on italy
for our marble, when In Oregon we
have every variety OF the rock, as vast
in quantity or as fine in quality as Italy
or any other European country. Ore
gon has, he claims, whole mountains of
marble Of as absolute purity, fine tex.
tore, and beautiful variegations, as Italy
ever produced. They exist in Josephine

Portland uses over ton OF marble n

character of the stone. Mr.. Harnett
believes that the marble OF our own
