PROSPECTIVE SALE.
New Rambler Mine Quite Likely to
Change Hands An Interesting Article
From Ores and Metals.

From Ores and Metals.
Negotiations now on foot for the
sale of the Rambler mine, located
in the Medicine Bow range at the
head of Douglas creek, have dis
closed some remarkable features
incident to the operation of the
property, says the Denver Ores
and Metals. An accurate record
OF the shipments has been pre-
served which shows that the high
grade ores, bornite, and covelite,
runs from 10 to 35 per cent. cop
per, an average of a little more
than 20 per cent. A somewhat
singular circumstance is the fact
that the sulphide pres which we're
supposed to be low grade, when
tested, were found to run nearly
as well as the high grade, carry
8 to "a per cent. copper beside
platinum and palladium. Both
classes of ore carry from two to
six ounces of silver per ton.
Not long since a shipment of
seven tons was made to the smelt-
er at Grand Encampment and run
down into INT ton of matte. This
when refined into bar copper
yielded besides the copper values
80 ounces of platinum worth S27
per ounce and AZ ounces of palla-
dunn worth S35 per ounce. Prof.
w. G. Knight of Wyoming in a
recent letter says that he believes
that these rare metals will be
found in all the properties around
the head of Douglas creek. He
says that several years ago while
placer mining and prospecting in
Douglas creek below the Rambler
location he found platinum associ-
ated with place gold, and takes
this Is an indication that there is
a very general diffusion of this
minearl in that part of the Medi.
cine Bow range. This is the most
remarkable condition as it is the
first time in the history of mining
that platinum and palladium have
been found in any considerable
quantity, associated with copper.

KILLED IN RUNAWAY.
Roderiok Mckay Fatally Injured by
the overturning Of a Wagon-was
Pinned to the Ground :vsg "A Hours
Before he was Released.

Last Wednesday as Roderick
Mckay, a Platte river ranch
man, was returning from a trip to
Laramie after farm machinery,
the team he was driving became
frightened and ran away, turning
the wagon and its load over onto
Mr.. Mckay, ~injuring BIN to such
an extent that he died q few hours
after being found.
The details of the runaway are
extremely distressing. Mr.. Nc
Kay had a hay rack on the wagon,
and had loaded a hay rake in Lar
mic and vas returning to the
ranch of Jackson L. Brown on
French creek. When within a
few miles Of Mr.. Browns ranch
the horses became frightened and
started running. In going down
a hill the wagon struck a rock and
tured over almost against a fence.
The edge of the rack caught
Mr.. McKay's head between it and
the ground but a hollow place in
the ground kept it from crushing
his head, and his body was
caught under another portion of
the load. The blow rendered him
unconscious but for a few minutes
but when he regaine,i conscious
ness he was so pinned down that
he was utterly powerless to help
himself. The lines were wrapped
around his right hand and the
hand pinned fast to the ground
in such a way that he could not
tet them off, thus holding the
horses otherwise they might have
dragged the wagon away from him.
The runaway occurred Wednes-
day about II o'clock and Mr.. Nc
Kay was not found until the next
day when Mr.. Brown, who was
riding for horses, discovered the
overturned wagon and team. Nc
Kay was still conscious, though
suffering intensely. Hewas taken
to the ranch and a physician sent
for, although he protested there
was no Use in SO doing as the re

covery.
He died that evening, shortly
after the arrival of the physician
His whole right side was crushed
and several of his ribs were pro.
truding from his breast.
Mr.. Mckay remained conscious
through the entire time. His lief

crushed. He had managed to gel

Some of the Almost lunar Work

Reading denotes that a dog is follow
ing a trail toward the birds by their
foot scent, as a nan in an analogous
name might follow a flock Of sheep
by watching their tracks.
Drawing denotes hat a dog is ap.
proat hing birds by a scent in the ait
as a man might follow a flock of sheep
by the long line of dust lowering over

sidered a much superior ann to
roading. 1t is commonly marked by
greater accuracy, quickness Of execu-

Pointing is the stop which the dog
makes when he has definitely located
the birds or when he thinks he has
done SO. 1t is the preliminary pause to
accurately determine the whereabouts
of the hidden birds before he springs to
capture. If he misjudges and springs
in the wrong direction, all his pains
and labor come to nothing. In his
training he is encouraged to point, but
is prohibited springing, so tnat after a
time he makes his point and holds it
stanchly.
II by any act, wiilful or otherwise,
he alarms the birds and they take
wing, it is called a flush. If the dog
when going up wind on game Pushes
the birds. he commits an error. If un-
der certain circumstances he Pushes

why the Audience Laughed.

At a public entertainment recently a
conjurer had an experience which was
highly comical, though quite disastrous
from a professional point of view.
Having produced an egg from q pre-
viously empty bag, he announced that
he would follow up this trick by bring
ing from the bag the hen that laid the
egg. This little arrangement he left to
his confederate to carry out. He pro-
ceeded to draw the bird from the bag.
but what was his surprise on finding
that the alleged hen was an old rooster,
which strutted about the stage with
ruff1ed feathers and offended dignity
and set up as vigorous 4 growing as II
it had just awakened from It's noctur
nal slumbers.
The whole audience shrieked with
laughter. and the unfortunate conjurer
made a bolt for the dressing room.
