who desire exclusive footwear. ordered from

THE BEARFOOT MINE
A. McCola Greatly Enthused Over
 Result of Recent Development.

A McCola was in the city yesterday from his claims, twelve miles east of Morristown in the White Picacho dis trict. He was unusually good natured and as happy as a boy with red-top boots, for he thinks he has millions almost within his grasp. He can see them already but can't quite get hold of them.
 MT. McCola is a typical prospector, one of the sort that find big things occasionally and then share them with the capitalist who can afford to de velop. He has worked long and faith fully on his group of claims, coming [. the valley and staying till he could get hold of little grubstake, and return ing, hammer away on the drill till the beans and bacon were all gone He has been doing this for some years and whatever fortune his mines may return he has certainly earned it.
 During the last year the greater part of his work has been confined to his Bearfoot claim, so named from the fact that it was discovered while he was tracking a bear over the ground. His ore body is copper and gold and though not of startling richness the values are good and the dimensions of the ore body are immense. He has now q vertical depth of forty feet in an in

 A drunken Mexican named Prieto cleared out A. BrizZeeS' saloon Wednes- day at midday. Armed with dagger in one hand and a razor in the other, and big jag on, he made a rush from the back door, presumably at Herman Spragg, with whom he had trouble a few moments before. Herman saw him coming and made for the bar. securing a revolver. but the Mexican kept com ing, and Herman saw he either had to shoot the fellow or sprint, and he sprinted, escaping out of the back door. The Mexican then looked for other worlds to conquer, and the saloon was emptied in short order, save for two or three who were huddled behind the bar. Finally the Mexican, having sat isfied himself that the house belonged to him, made a staggering exit from the back door, and was soon after ar rested by Constable Burton and locked up in the city jail. Justice McBrayer gave him fifty days.

cline shaft of sixty feet and has done all the work himself notwithstanding it has been slow and tedious. He has crosscut the ledge, which is six feet wide, and has now turned and will drift on the ore body. He says he has passed all the loose ground where slip ping of the ore body might have been expected and with a solid vein of six feet traceable long distance on the surface he feels justified in calling the property a mine. He will continue it's development as fast as he is able and declares the property at present is not fer sale unless some good man wants to put in some money for d developing interest. However, he has nothing to give away and has too good d showing
 just now to sell out for a song. He
 has in the same group several other good properties but just now he is con- lining himself to the exploitation of

HYDROPHOBIA SCARES.

There is no special hydrophobia sea- son. In the hot months dogs suffer from intense heat and are liable to heat stroke, especially if they be unable to obtain water. No doubt the so-called rabid dogs are often the victims of other disorders; but the germs of rab- bies are no more active and general in summer than in winter. Although this fact has been presented to the public repeatedly, every dog which is not plainly in good health in July and Aug ust is pursued to it's death by police and public.
 It is almost certain that the popular fallacies about mad dogs and hydro phobia have killed moro persons than has hydrophobia itself. Fairly sensible persons when bitten by a cross dog often become panic stricken and die in great agony after exhibiting many of the alleged symptoms of hydrophobia, although the dog in each case may have been free of rabies. A typical in stance was that of a Chicago woman
