In the Gar north. with its intense
cold. it seems that there can be but
little pleasure for the children. doomed
to pass their days among the almost
eternal snow beside the frozen ocean.
Yet even here life to these little people
has its enjoynents. and every season
brings to them its round of games and
sports.
In summer Il portion OF the inhahit
ants leave the winter villages and
scatter along the coast for the purpose
OF hunting and fishing. Others go to
distant points along the coast and
trade oil, guns, tobacco, powder, lead,
etc, with natives of the interior. re-
celving in payment valuable furs and
the skins of reindeer, which they use
exclusively for clothing. At these
meetings a round of feasting and
games is INDUCED In before any trad
ing is done. Whenever a camp is made
the little folk will be found with their
bows and arrows shooting grass birds,
which are abundant. or the numerous
varieties of shore birds to be found In
that region. Forest and Stream.

TOULOUSE GEESE.

They Are Fine Eirds, Though Not

These are the pride of France. From
them comes the pate de foie gras, SO
much enjoyed as Gelicacy by the gor-
mands of the world. They gain their
name from the city of the same name
in southern France, but like the Hou-

Toulouse geese in their native land are
cultivated purely for market purposes.
The EAish for exhibition-fne feathers

IRON DEPOSITS ARE NEAR.
Discovery Near Valley, Wash.-ore 81
Feet Wide.

Thirty-two feet Of the highest grade
hematite ever mined in the United
States has been opened on the Iron
Hill mine, which has been in operation
under Great Northern management for
several months past.
The mine is 10 miles west of Valley,
Wash, on the S. F. & N. railway. 1t
was acquired last summer by officials
of the Great Northern railway through
efforts of Dr. j. F. Reddy. The price
paid was over $4,000.
Work has been in progress since the
railway people secured the property,
the force being maintained at about Is
men. A large number of prospecting
shafts were sunk that did not encoun-
ter the ore. Finally deeper workings
at the top of the ridge were made and
crosscut struck the vein about three
weeks ago. Immediately the superln-
tendent reduced the force in the shaft
to half a dozen Of his men whom he
had brought here from the eastern iron
mines, and every effort was made to
keep the discovery secret. The bal
ance of the crew were sent into the
surrounding territory Systematically
to locate all the open ground in sight.
Over 80 claims have been thus ac-
quired by the railway people, making
total of over SO claims in their group
The crosscut was continued across
the vein until 32 feet of ore was open
ed and still no wall was encountered.
The vein crops in places over 200 feet
wide SO that it is possible that this is
but minor fraction Of the width of
the vein.
The ore is hematite Of an exceeding
ly high grade.

His Presentiment Came True.

Salt Lake, Utah.-As in fulfllment
of presentiment that haunted him
for a week, Private Charles Thornton
of the Twenty-second battery, at Fort
Douglas, accidentally fell from an
army wagon. the wheels of which
passed over his head, killing him in
stantly.
About a week previous Thornton
was detailed much against his will,
to carry the body of Private Peters,
a suicide, from the barracks to the
hospital. ThorAton said at the time
that the task was an i'll omen for him,
and several times since he told his
companions he felt something was 60
ing to happen. Just before starting
on the fatal trip, he again referred to
the strange presentimeht of death that
haunted him.
Thornton came from cambridge,
Ohio, where his parents reside.
