Oil Notes.

The Star Gusher Oil company,
composed principally of Cripple
Creek men, has secured 1000 acres
of ground north of Canon and ex-
poets shortly to commence drilling
operations J. F. Crane is the
president of the company.
1t is confidently believed by oil
men here that the Florence oil
basin extends to the hills just west
of Canon. 1t is well known fact
that the first oil discovered in the
state was an oil spring near Canon
and quite number of experienced
oil men are on the ground From
indications it really looks as if
there will be quite little interest
awakened in that section in few
weeks hence, inasmuch as the oil
prospects for the entire state were
never better.
One thing that is delaying oper-
ations in nearly all the oil fields of
Colorado at present is the fact that
tim Der for building the derricks is
difficult to obtain. 1t has been
found from experience that Oregon
pine is about the only variety that
will answer the purpose, as it is
free from flaws and does not warp
in this dry climate. Oregon pine
is now very scarce article, as the
demand has been 80 great that the
supply has nearly been exhausted,
and oil companies are compelled
to wait for new shipments. Await
ing the arrival of tim ber and COM
pletion of new derricks, the Oil
Well Supply company OF this
place is retarded from shipping q
large numb ber of orders for tools.

RADCLIFFE HEARD FRon.

William Radcliff has been heard
from again. This time through
representatives of the English
government. They demand that
the state of Colorado pay to Will
liam the sum of $55,OOO for the
destruction of the log hotel and
fish hatcheries by fire at Grand
Mesa lakes last summer. This is
a mild request to say the least
William Radcliff, young Eng
lishman, purchased some property
on Grand Mesa in Delta county
and leased from the state some adj
Joining territory.
A short distance from Radclitf's
place the citizens of Delta, mostly
business men, had erected about
twenty-five cabins, and for num-
ber of years had been accustomed
to taking their families up there
during the hot July and August
months when business was dull,
and spending the time fishing and
enjoying the cool shades and
boating on the lakes and where
the children could climb the hills
and gather wild flowers. But when
Radcliff arrived on the scene and
demanded of the citizens that they
must first secure a permit from
him before fishing in the lakes, il
caused considerable hard feeling
until last summer when a respecta.

county was foully murdered by

making money raising fish and
selling to the Mountain hotels and
restaurants and the action of the
mob injured his feelinas and shut

far as damaging his property is
concerned he never had any to

PET DOG WASHERS.
The Queer Trade That Fiourishes In
the Erencn CnpitaI.

The Queer Trade That Flourishes In
the French Capital.
as you walk along certain parts Of
Paris your attention is sometimes at
tracted by the barking of dog, and
OH such an occasion one of the queer
est Of the outdoor trades of Paris is
seen. Near the waters edge, his black
coat flecked thickly with soapsuds,
stands the dog. and over him, en-
ergeticnlly shampooing the soap into
the long, hairy coat, stands one of the
professional dog washers who haunt
the banks OF the Seine at stated spots
from the Pont d'Iena to the Pont Neuf.
These men lather and wash pet dogs
while their owners look on from con-
veniently placed chairs. The fees range
from sous to franc. When the soap
Ing operation is completed, the dog Is
dropped into the river and encouraged
to get rid of the dirt and soap by
swim.
Sometimes the pet will swim straight
out, while the fair owner Is In agonies
Of fear lest some swiftly passing
steamer should strike 1t and end its
bathing and swimming days forever.
On more than one occasion the dog
washer has been driven to plunge In
and rescue the bewildered animal lest
the Infatuated owner should claim COM
pensation for his carelessness. With
some Parisiennes this weekly pet
washing is a ceremony Of Importance.
The dainty lady, alighting from her
smart victoria, goes down the steps to
the washing place chosen, preceded by
her footman carrying or leading the
dog, as the case may be, and then,
seated under q sunshade, she directs
the toilet Of Eff or Nero with tender
solicitude. The toilet des chiens at the
fashionable spots includes warm, leecy
towels, peignoir de balm while the
dogs hair is being curled, combed,
singed or cut, and a length of ribbon Of
a selected color to tie round its neck at
the finish.

DIAMOND BACK TERRAPIN.
Formerly Despised. They Are Now
Considered a Delicacy.

Formerly Despised. They Are Now
Considered N Delicacy.
Half century or so ago diamond
back terrapin were fed to slaves and
hogs. Today they are the rarest deli
cacy known to the epicurian world,
says the Philadelphia North American.
Then they sold for 81 barrel, and
hborers, when hiring out, specified
that they must not be compelled to eat
terrapin more than twice a week. To-
day barrel is cheap at $500, and mil
lionaires travel hundreds Of miles for
a chance to feast on this most deli
cious Of all meats.
OF course this means genuine dia-
mond backs. There are many imita-
lions.
Every first class restaurant In the
country features 'terrapin a la Mary
land on its menu. but in not one case
out Of hundred Is the real terrapin
served. The diner regales himself on
what he believes to be Maryland's
choicest dish. Instead he is merely
eating fresh water turtles, "sliders" or
"North Carolina goldens."
The reason is simple. Restaurateurs
don't serve real diamond backs be-
cause they can't get them. The worlds
total terrapin population does not ex-
coed $4,000 of legal size, and these are
confined to the shores Of the Chesa-
peake bay, the only place that produces
them.
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York enjoy a monopoly. These three
cities get practically the entire output,
but few ever find their way across the
Blue Ridge. The epicure unfortunate
enough to be born in Chicago or st.
Louis must either come east or forego
the joys of terrapin.
To select real diamond back anna
tours should be guided by these distin-
gushing and characteristic markings:
1t is Of a greenish, dark olive color,
sometimes running to spotted gray,
yellow on the plate which surrounds
the shell and has concentric dark
stripes along the plate on both shells.
The sides of the head are dirty white,
sprinkled with small black spots. The
bottom shell is of whitish yellow.
The males are much larger than the
females and have the concentric streaks
much better defined. The female has
the more delicate flesh. The male can
be distinguished by his toe nails, which
are much longer than those Of the fe-
male.

HUNTING THE GORILLA.

An Animal West Africans Say Has
the Soul Of a Man.
Gorilla hunting is distinct sensation
even for the veteran hunter. This ami
NAL, which has become confused some
what with fable ard fiction, is reali-
ty and a decidedly unpleasant one to
engage. The west Africans are mortal
ly afraid of it, believing that the brute
contains the spirit of man. They at
tribute to it all sorts of ferocities, like
the carrying off Of human being, who
is permitted to return after being de-
prived of toe and finger nails.
Skilled hunters have never observed
any of these doings, but they testify to
the brute's strength and ferocity," says
Allen Sangree in Ainslee's. According
to French sportsman, full grown
gorilla can bite through tree six inch
es thick in order to secure the sap and

punches of muscle that serve for arms.

deepening into bass roll that literally
resembled thunder. The short hair on
his forehead was twitching, his power
full fangs showed unpleasantly. and,
