What may prove to be very i'm,
portant strike of ore was made yester.
day in the Galena mine of the pivi-
dend Consolidated company. The
company is engaged in enlarging Its
shaft to double compartment, and in
firing a shot yesterday in the foot
wall, body of very rich ore was en-
countered. Just how large the ore
body may prove to be of course can
not be determined yet. An assay OF
a sample of it gave value of s94. "a
per ton in gold. The ledge is FIVE
and half feet in width in the mine.
I. G. Smith, who is connected with
the company and heavily interested
in it, went out to the property this
morning and telephoned into the
Office in Prescott about noon that
they had cut into the ore about twelve
inches and we're not through it yet
The ore is so rich that the manage
ment is considering the advissbility
Of abandoning the present shaft and
sinking at another place, as they fig
uTe that they will be compelled to
leave ore in place to hold the tim
bers that will be worth nearly $1,000
to every ten feet in depth. The
treasury stock of this company has
been taken off the market and the
only stock that can be had is from
present stockholders. The Journal
Miner has repeatedly predicted that
the Dividend Consolidated Mines
company had property that would
be a big winner and the predictions
are certainly beginning to be realized
even beyond all expectations.

Altering Stamps.

No change or alteration of any sort
should be made by q collector in his
stamps. 1t was a custom some years
ago among collectors to erase cancella-
ton marks from their stamps in order
to make their stamps better. The eff
feet Of the attempt was not all that
could be desired. The erasures were
not perfect, and the stamps In the
changed condition, being neither can
celed nor uncanceled, were simply in
ferior damaged specimens. One Of the
most common ways of altering stamps
at the present time is to erase the word
specimen" from stamp having this
overprint. 1t cannot be done so that it
will not be detected, and the stamp in
the altered condition is worthless,
while as specimen" it had some
value. 1t has frequently happened that
stamps, valuable in their original con-
dition, have been made worthless by
attempts to increase their value by
alteration.-St. Nicholas.

THE SLY WEASEL.
How He Finally Trapped and Killed
Monster Rat.

Monster Rat.
| A sawmill in an Iowa town was in
tested with rats, which, being unmo-
Tested, became very numerous and bold
and played round the mill among the
men while they worked during the day.
But one day weasel came upon the
scene and at once declared war on the
rats.
One by one the rats became victims
Of the weasels superior strength until
only one very large, strong fellow was
left of the once numerous colony. The
weasel attacked the big rat several
times, but each time the rat proved
more than match for his slender an
tagonist and chased the weasel to a
hiding place.
One day the weasel was seen busily
digging under a lumber pile near the
mill. He was engaged for some time,
but later appeared again in the mill,
seeking his old enemy. He soon found
him and at once renewed hostilities.
AS usual, after lively tussle, the rat
proved too much for him, and he ran,
Yursued closely by the rat, straight to
the hole under the lumber pile.
He ran in. still followed by the rat,
almost Immediately reappeared round
the end Of the pile and again lodged
into the hole behind the rat. Neither
was seen again for some time, but the
weasel finally reappeared, looking no
worse for the fight.
The curiosity Of the men In the mill
was aroused, and they proceeded to in
vestigate the hole under the lumber
pile. They found that the weasel had
dug the hole sufficiently large at the
first end to admit the rat, but had
gradually tapered it as he proceeded
until at the other end it barely allowed
his own slender body to pass.
When the rat chased him into the
large end Of this underground funnel
he quickly slipped on through, and
while the rat was trying to squeeze his
large body into the smaller part Of the
hole the weasel lodged in behind him
and, catching him in the rear and in
place where he could not turn round,
finished him at his leisure.
