Colorado Roads Overtaxed.

The congestion of freight on the
roads leading to Tonopah and Goldfield
is the greatest that has occurred in the
history of Nevada. At Mound House
the side tracks are crowded with mer-
chandise for the new camps. Ship
ments are far behind, and goods sent
from Reno over month ago have not
yet reached the new mining district.
At Reno the sidetracks are full of cars
that are loaded for Tonopah and Gold

roads is being slowly received and will

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT WORK.
500 Must Be Expended in Actual
DEVELOPMENT Work.

The season Of the year is rapidly ap-
preaching when claim owners holding
property by location only, must begin
work in the performance of the annual
assessment work required by law. In
many cases, in the past. the beginning
of the work has been postponed until
almost the last moment, and instances
can been cited where such procrastina-
ton has resulted in the total loss of the
property involved, or the locator has
been forced to defend his rights in the
courts and especially is this the case
in popular districts where there is ever
a ready demand for valuable and prom
ising properties. and in locations
where the laim-jumper keeps close
tab on the amount of work done in the
way of assessment, the slightest devi.

pany has been decided by Judge Ter

cannot imagine these silent. taciturn little

other for nickels thrown by sportive passen-

dare unwind thut panorama Of picturesque
profanity at his long. wavering, undulating
line of roustabouts as they move from deck
to shore with the cargo. The darkey
roustabout hears these objurgations with
joyous and appreciative ear, and welcomes
burst Of originality In 1t by rolling the
whites Of his eyes expressiveiy at his fell

Charlotte and Vancouver islands and the
south coast of Alaska, and they We're es-

In the last quarter of a century there has
been a great scarcity of these beautiful
skins, which have come only from a single
point off the coast of Washington and from
the islands to the south of Behring sea.
In hunting the otter the natives of these
northern islands employ frail skin canoes,
called bidarkas, somewhat resembling the
kayaks of the Eauimaux. The natives OF
the Aleutians and the Kuriles are very
expert with the spear, which is thrown with

Is struck with dart, when its doom is
sealed.
The habits of the sea otter are peculiar.
They seldom go to land; in fact never ex-
cept during severe storms, when they some
times take refuge on outlying rocks and
reefs In the ocean. Unlike the seal they do
not bear their young upon the land, but
give birth to them at sea. The pup is
taken upon the breast of it's mother, who
floats lightly upon her back as a favorite
position.
When frightened, the mother takes the
pup In her mouth and disappears, and even
when the offspring is only few days old
she will remain with 1t below the surface
fully fifteen minutes without rising In
feeding the otter brings to the surface

and breaks and eats the shellfsh one by
