DEATH OF A RATTLESNAKE
In a Most Unusual and Astounding
 Manner.

The most miraculous destruction of a rattlesnake on record is reported by Charles w. Barnett, and the report is vouched for by E. J. Bonsall. A few evenings ago they left the city for the Gold Coin mine. They were either CVertaken by darkness on the way or they ran into it. but it makes no differ ence which, for they found themselves in it. Then there was the sudden whiT-r-r of a rattler, and their team shied to one side of the road. They could not tell whether the snake was in front of them or behind them, but it was in uncomforta ply close proximity. MT. Barnett got out of the wagon and began trying to locate it. It was neces- sary for him to depend entirely on his sense of sound. He took the buggy whip and beat the ground all around him in order to provoke another rattle. At length one came from the roadside. But MT. Barnett could not measure the distance so accurately that he cared to go to the exact spot whence the sound seemed to proceed. In fact by this time it did not appear so necessary to him as it did at first, that the snake should die.
 He felt. though. that having gene so far he ought to make some kind of d demonstration, and feeling about in the darkness he picked up a stone and threw 1t perfunctorily at the rattle, that is, at the noise. Believing that he had done all that could be expected oi him in the circumstances, he climbed into the wagon and went on. The next day he returned by the same road, and again MT. Bonsall was with him. It is necessary that the reader should be frequently apprised of the presence of Mir. Bonsall, for he is known to be man whose word may be depended upon. When they came to the place of the encounter with the snake the night before they saw the reptile at the roadside with its head crushed, and beside it was the stone which Mir Bar nett had thrown. Some of the blood and hair of the snake was still on the stone, and MT. Bonsall saw it with his own eyes.
 Closing a relation of this incident yesterday. MT. Barnett said. T don't think such thing as that will happen in the next thousand years"
 No" said a nearer, II don't think such a thing as that happened In the last thousand years

Since taking charge of the com pany's affairs as its president and gen. eral manager. Dr. Bradford has se- cured an ample water supply, and the town of McCabe is again lighted by electricity from the company's electric light plant. The latter was compelled to close down for about two months on account of a shortage of water. Dr.: Bradford is very enthusiastic over the outlook of the company, and is confi- dent of striking the extension of the McCabe ore body by sinking.

slightly crosscuts the formation as it goes down. The rate of crosscut iS about ten feet to the hundred feet in depth. The shaft is in ore practically all the way, going through strata par allel to the big dike in which it now is at the depth of 250 feet. Ore bodies are known to lie each side of this dike, and it was not supposed the dike was mineraliZed. but it has been found to carry good values, which is a glad sur prise to the owners. When the con tract for sinking is completed and stump dug below. crOsscutting of the formation and drifting on the dike will be done with as large a force as can % used to advantage. The company will then have about reached the limit of the horse whim now in use and steam hoist will be the next improvement made.
 A tunnel below the incline shaft con- meets with it at a depth of about sixty feet, making a good circulation of air. Altogether the development is resulting even more satisfactorily than was ex- pected and there will be no cessaz or< of work till the property is thoroughly ex- plotted.

PLANET SATURN SOLD
News From the Leviathln. Trinidad
 and Other Big Mines.

Frank M. CZarnowski of the Levia- than Gold Mining company. and lander whose direction that property is beinS, developed, is in the city and talks en- thusiastically not only of the Leviathan but of a number of other properties in that vicinity and of the flattering fu- ture opening up before that section. Among other things of general interest he says it is currently reported that the building of the proposed railroad west from Congress Junction will begin in a month or two, opening up rich mineral district that is now worked at great disadvantage through lack of transportation.
 He says the Planet Saturn mine in Fools gulch. together with number of adjoining claims, was sold recently to New York parties for q sum in the neighborhood of $435 GOO. The Planet Saturn is a developed property and one shaft is down l 1,120 feet and all in ore There is also some drifting on a ledge that shows a pay streak of four feet. The mine is about five miles east of Congress Junction and there is ten- stamp mill on the ground. It has not been worked on Planet ores lately for the reason that a larger plant is neces- sary to work the property to the best and the new owners expect to build 100-stamp mill as soon as possible.
 Three miles further and only q mile from Stanton is the Trinidad property, better known as the Genung or Church. i'll mine, and at one time bonded by the Leviathan company but released for tho that if fnDn1H TlantV n ir1f "a development of its other holdings. The Trinidad is showing up well and it is the intention of the owners to put up an eighty-stamp mill at an early day. This was decided upon after a thorough test made at the Planet Saturn mill. It was intended to make a mill run of l 1000 tons at the Planet Saturn, but after 200 tons had been worked the ex- pert was satisfied without going to further expense.
 The Octave mine and mill are running full forces and with the best of results Water has been rather a scarce commo- dity in that section, but recently a con- siderable amount of it was encountered in the Octave mine, which is pleasing to the owners.
 On the Leviathan property which Mr. CZarnowsh is developing the incline shaft is down now about 250 feet and is being sunk by contract. which ~ its fulfillment will leave the shaft 273 feet deep. As the miners have less than p feet to go and are making between two and three feet per day this point will be reached very soon. The formation of the hill lies at right angles to the workings and dips slightly into the hill. The shaft is at slightly greater incline than the formation. so the shaft

THE CIR ATTY FARMER.

It appears that an old farmer near Houghton owned a large pile of small stones, with which he wished to fill a ditch, but he had already got about as much work out of his boys that day as they were willing to do, especially as it was nearing the hour for a ball game. The old man was bound to have the stones moved, anyhow, and so, pre- tending to have discovered a nest of snakes in the ditch, began stoning the place where the snakes were alleged
