CARP GUSHING WILD DUCK.
Useless Themselves, They Baxa NJ.
stroyed the Wild Rice Fields
In Ontario, Canada,

The singular complaint comes from
various parts of northern Ontario that
hsh are responsible for the disappear
ance of certain kinds of game. In To-
caiities which were formerly noted for
the excellent duck shooting which they
offered the birds are now not to be had
at all.
The ducks. geese and other aquatic
birds were formerly in the habit of
frequenting the large fields Of wild rice
in the lakes and streams of parts of
Ontario, but now these fields have been.
In many instances, destroyed by the
German carp, which has found its way
into these waters. The vegetarian diet
of this detestable fish not only ruins
the flavor of its own flesh but exhausts
the food supply of some of the most
desirable forms of feathered game,
says the New York Sun.
The Ontario Inspector OF fish.
cries, who has been in north
ern Ontario for the last few
weeks, reports that the German
carp has not only become danger
Gus to other fish, as has been frequent
ly claimed, but that in Cooks bay, Lake
Simcoe, where there were formerly
hundreds of acres of wild rice, not a
spear of that plant is to be seen to-day.
The same is true of the Holland river,
where there were at one time 1900
acres Of rice. The carp have eaten it
root, branch and seed.
Tho oirr,nc4 ;porod;l,la rcrk 81 IL -
that the Ash have entirely destroyed
the fields in one year. The aquatic
birds which visit the locality, finding
that all their usual feeding grounds
have disappeared. cut short their visit
and move away in search of others.
The local sportsmen complain, too,
that the carp have attacked the beds
of wild celery. and that they, too, are
almost completely destroyed.
1t remains to be seen what the eff
feet Of this wholesale destruction of
aquatic vegetation will be upon the
game fishes of the locality. The fish,
cry overseer of the district declares
that it is question whether the
spawn of the muskallonge can be pro-
-tected and developed without the rice
beds. He does not accuse the carp of
eating the eggs of the other fish, but
states that they keep the water con-
tinually disturbed, and that to their
tributed the decrease in the number
of muskallonge frequenting them for
spawning purposes.

SILVER PEAK, April 8, 1903.

| oiL En- Ian, aDTll D, 1918.
Ed. BULsETIN: We are in the en-
joyment of a bowling gale and there
Is footrace every few minutes be-
tween man and hat.
Work in the mines around US Is
going on in great shape since the
weather has changed. Six or seven
men are taking out high-grade lead
silver ore from the MacNarnara mine
and developing the same while doing
it. This will prove their value be-
fore midsummer, when l think there
will be fiuxiug ore enough between
the Palmetto mountains and the
Lone Mountain range for smelling
the silicate ores which are here and
in Tonopah.
Work on the Blair mines goes on
steadily.
A crew of men went up to work on
John Chiatovich's Mary mine a few
days ago.
There is some talk OF a strike near
the little mill south of Aida valley.
A couple of prospecters are sink
ing on a ledge about a mile from
town and the indications are favora-
able for mine there.
A party of Santa Fe engineers was
here some time age and went south
to Daggett. Bob Montgomery went
along as guide, and the Santa Fe men
thought that q road would be built
from Daggett to Tonopah.
The town is fullof educated burros
and dogs. They have made so many
trips from the south up here and
back again that they know every wa
ter hole, spring and swill barrel for
a hundred miles square. The dogs
get footsore about every forty miles
and hang up again until they get
we'll and fat, when they fall in behind
a burro train and hunt new camp.
They find about six new masters
year and it takes them from four to
FIVE to get back to their original own
ers. When the old dog Towser dis
covers the old boss and burros he is
treated like prodigal son or better.
There is rumor of wedding in
high life here and that a high church
dignitary will perform the ceremony.
Prof. Owsley will play the wedding
march on the organ, also " A Hot
Time in the Old Town" and Every
thing Looks Good to Me-" Some of
the old boys are little dazed, but
these things will happen in any COM
munity, and l don't think the young
folks are to blame for getting mar
ried. This is the season when the
birds go in pairs, the rabbits and
hares, and even the bears in couples
agree, and the geese fly north.

From Bayo Beans.

SLATE CREEK, June 26.-If you were here now you would enjoy life. You could sit in your tent and no pestiverous skeeter would drill hole in your skating rink. Six inches of the beautiful fell last night and it is still showing. 1 be- lieve this is the worst climate in the world. Previous to this storm we had beautiful, sunny weather; the mountain sides we're covered with green grass and flowers; the skeeters dipped through my whis- kers, and every time they touched me up with their augurs they re- minded me that summer was here.
 A great many men are here from the Nizina and some from the Tan ana. Two Valdez boys got in from Fairbanks, the center of the Tam ana strike, and they report 5000 people going down the Tanana in washtubs, boats and rafts. They say the stampede was caused by parties having grub in there to sell.
 Nearly all the claims in this camp are working full handed, though pack-train of grub must soon arrive or many men will have to leave. We want grub here and want it bad. Flour sold at $60. per hundred, bntter at $2.50 per can, milk sl. per can, beans 60c per h., sugar $l. per h., bacon s1. per lb., fruit and coffee 75c per lb., rice 60c

Represents Rothchilds Here.

In Coalgardie, in West Australia, there was considerable rivalry be- tween parties, each of whom claimed to be the representative of kc,hs- child. Jack Scantlebury, the "wild cat" man on the Sydney Bulletin, who conducted the most readable, yet the most caustic column of min- ing news published in the Austral- ian colonies; was appealed to to de- eide which was the proper repre- sentative. "Niethcr of them. There Is Rothschild's representative" he said pointing to Henry Bratnober, who was passing along the other side of the street, and who was on business for the Exploration Co.,, of London. "Who is he?" said one of the crowd eagerly, "Why, he is Rothschild himself" said Scantlebury, and poor Bratnober was so overrun with business that he was obliged to mount his camel and fly to the interior.-Pacific Coast Miner.

A Great Pope.
From the Philadelphia Press.

Sorrow comes the world around at the
passing of Leo. No creed bounds it. no
land limits and neither race tongue
confines. A good man is gone. a great
statesman. a reverend pontiff. For a week
past the world has stood al his bedside. 1t
has seen his dignity, loved his spirit Of pa
tient duty and felt his simple Christian
faith. This good old man had grown near
the hearts Of all men through the twenty
five years in which he has held his high
and conspicuous station. The rancor of the
past the doubts OF the present and the ap-
prehension of the future, If such there are,
had faded away before his benignant love.
his universal regard for adj the race of man
and the constant blessing his good life
poured into the long history of which he
was part In the days of war he was for
peace. In the shock Of capital and labor
he spoke the words Of wisdom and paternal
counsel. In days of doubt he revived faith.
There was no national disaster where his
consoling words were not spoken and no
widespread joy and prosperous day which
he, who yearly blessed all the world did
not share.

TORPEDO BOAT IN COLLISION.
The Winslow Disabled While Carrying
Supplies to the Hartford.

A dispatch from Newport. r. l.. yester-

training ship Hartford, somewhere outside.
the torpedo boat Winslow. in command OF
Ensign Marble, was run into by the schoon-
er-yacht Clytie. owned by Henry Ward Of

and so badly crippled that she was obliged
to put back to the station. The torpedo
boat Craven. to which the stores were
transferred, also was disabled soon after
leaving the station by the blowing out Of
one Of her tube sheets and Water Tender
Jones Of her crew was badly scalded by
escaping steam.
The Clytie's bowsprit struck the Wins

tary mast, her food chests, and her after
smokestack. and also making hole five
feet in length in her starboard quarter.

WROTE HIS OWN EPITAPH."
The Pope's Early Anticipation Of Death
Death Recalled.

From the New York Sun.
The fact that even in his youth the pope
looked upon death as a friend whose face
had no terrors for him was brought out
in an interview Sun reporter had with
Father Wynne 8. J., editor of the Messen-
ger and director Of the Apostleship of Pray
err In speaking of the pope Father Wynne
said:
Over seventy years ago. when only twen-
ty years old. Joachim Pecci was already
looking for death He wrote in 1880.
"Haggard and my face. and laboring is my
Lnng.id. walk the way to dusty death"
Happy the exile's feet to press the fatherland:
Happy the storm tossed bark to gain the strand. y
After span OF years far longer than
most men live in 1897. he repeated the SEN
timent, again in verse: E
MY weary race is rum touch the goal.
Hear. Lord the feeble paintings of my SOUL
II 1t be worthy. Lord Thy plying breast
Welcome 1t unto everlasting rest
1t will not be hard to write Leo's epitaph.
He has written it more than once in poem
and lapidary. and the only dif1culty will be
to choose which best expresses the story
and influence Of his life. Under his own
portrait he wrote in 1888:
I have loved Justice therefore have borne
"aran a' of Faith p for dear sake would
Suffer with gladness and in prison die.
His motive in life Is clear, from the fol-
lowing Inscription, written in 1888:
For the rest Of my mortal life
l firmly resolved
BY Offering daily
The Victim Of Proptiation
To cleave more closely to God:
And with watchful
And with evergrowng zeal
To labor
.or the eternal salvation
or the souls Of men.
Forward. then. Leo!
Strive. strive
To surIn0unt with courage
Whatsoever obstacles;
To endure with patience
Whatsoever trials;
Fear not.
Your life Is nearly ended,
You- Is nearly run;
Rehounce and spurn
All that Is perishable;
Aspire to the heights;
Press forward
With constant longing
Toward thy heavenly
Fatherland.
1t Is too soon yet to speak Of his sue
cessor No matter who may be chosen. his
work will endure and his policy continue.
How he regarded a change Of pontiffs ap-
pears from an epigram written In 1885:
LEO is fallen!" List the clamorous cry;
Broken with cares in prison shall he die.'
Vain Is the hope another Leo w1elds
The scepter, and his flock from error shields.

Full Of Honors.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


Full of years and honorS: at the close OF
a pontificate of glorious memory: beloved of
his spiritual children. who mourn him in
the poignancy of grief that many days will
not abate. and regretted of all who esteem
the highest human virtues; his vicartate
faithfully executed. his name chiseled be-
side those of Gregory and Boniface, Adrian
and Benedict and Nicholas. Leo passes
home, and the world of living men is be-
reft of a prince, statesman and a saint.
An estimate of the late pope must account
the peculiar distinction Of his character a
rare union of wisdom and piety. 1t was the
latter that won for him wider affection
than any head of Latin christendom since
the Reformation has enjoyed. But Leo was
not merely ptous. With all his goodness of
heart, he was not unsOphisticated: he had
and exhibited in innumerable difficult situa-
tions a perspicacity which would have done
credit to the most worldly statesman; his
firm and instructed genius for large affairs
met the craft of the astute ministers Of Eu-
rope on equal terms.
