OBSTINACY OF HUNTING
CANINE.
Whipped Dog Brought Fortune to a
Man Living in Northern
California.

How a whipped dog brought for
tune to a family is related by w. Kra-
mer, now in Portland from the Sucker
Creek country, in Oregon.
Free gold amounting to $4,000 had
been taken out of the Briggs ledge on
Sucker Creek up to last Thursday, ac-
cording to Mr.. Kramer, a mil1man of
Grants Pass, who is now in Portland
Besides this the ledge has been traced
surface of the hillside and fully
100000 is now in sight. The Briggs
family is preparing to put up a
stampmill on the property in order
to turn the gold into bull on in the
shortest possible time.
Mr.. Kramer, who knows all the cir
cumstances connected with this find,
says that a young son of David Briggs
was out hunting deer and tried to get
his dog to take a deer trail. The dog
refused to do SO, and young Briggs,
becoming angry, beat the canine in or
der to make him do better. While
scurying about the hillside a rusty
looking rock was turned over and on
its under side the gold glittereh =.
such a way as to interfere with the
dog whipping process instanter. The
trail of the deer was also considered
of secondary Importance, as young
Briggs knew he had thousands of dol
lars in sight.
AT present the hills around the
head of Sucker Creek are alive with
prospectors,' Mr.. Kramer said, and l
look for more big discoveries before
the summer is over. The region is
high up in the Siskiyous, within a few
rods of the California line, and the
prospecting will be pleasant outing
for hundreds, even should they not
succeed in finding anything.
In the old days of mining, 40
years ago, great deal of golddust
was taken out of Sucker and Althouse
Creeks, as we'll as from democratic
Gulch, by miners who were not looking
for lodges. This golddust, however,
came from just such mother lodges as
the one found by young Briggs and
there must be several of these yet to

ture of the session of American elocu-
the apostle of the visible system laid
down by Professor Alexander Mel
Vile Bell. who evolved it by long

With this introduction Miss Thomp-
son. after showing how the mercy"

should be done. went for the fiat and
crude American accent. The British
accent is, and ought to be, the stand
