About GOldfieId

Mr.. Adamson, a well known cit
izen of Gunnison. was in the city
last night and this morning en- route
home from trip to the great gold
mining camp of Goldheld. Nev. Mr..
Adamson returns to Colorado with
anything but a favorable impression
of the now-famous mining camp. and
is not AT ali enthusiastic over his
visit.
The conditions existing in Gold
field are almost frigkJful Mr.. Ad-
amson states that at present there
are about ten thousand people in
the camp and over half OF this num-
ber are out of employment. while
hundreds are really in want Unless
man has plenty of money to sus-
tain him for an indefinite length of
time, he would be making a very
foolish move to 80 to Goldfcld Ev-
cry week hundreds of new people ar
rive az Goldfcld. but scores of disap-
pointed fortune seekers are leaving
the camp every day
Mr. Adamson states that there rs
nothing in the Goldfeld camp now
for a man unless he has plenty of
money, and then the risk is great
All the properties of value are nailed
down
Mr.. Adamson says that NJ. NJ.
Desch, well known in this city. is the
busiest and most prosperous man in
Goldheld today He is perhaps the
best known man in the district and is
very popular Mr.. Adamson believes
that he win soon be immensely veal
thy Samuel McMullin of this city.
who is associated with Mr. Detch. has
valuable interests in the district and
is prospering. Both gentlemen seem
to be high in the favor of Dame For
tune.
Mr. Adamson states that he and
many OF the influential citizens Of
Goldfeld believe that NJ. NJ. Detch
will be the next United States senator
from Nevada.
Mr. Adamson left this morning ov-
er the narrow gauge for Gunnison,
feeling that he has been fully cured
of severe attack of the Goldfeld
fever. and his advice to all is to
steer clear of the mining camp.

The YEARBOOK"
For Deaf People
By George II. Wilson

Wilson. of Louisville, KY, tells ii his
200 page Ear Book"
Mr. Wilson is almost as well known
in Louisville as Marshall Field is in
Chicago. or John Wanamaker in Phila-
delphia.
And. he was, for twenty years, almost
the Deafest man in his native city.
Any one of the thousands who know
him today will certify that his Hearing
is now as sharp as their own.
Few men have studied the Ear SO
Earnestly. and thoroughly. as Mr.. Wilson
had to do. for his own sake.
What he positively knows about Deaf
ness is personal. and practical.
1t is not mere book knowledge, but
the actual facts tested out by his own
hard experience.
1.-THE Wilson Ear Book" therefore
should be read by every man or
woman. who has Ear trOuble,-who is
Deaf. or threatened with Deafness.

any Doctor. or other person. who will

with it, the name and address of one
Deaf Person in his locality. Address

the ladder, which he placed on the
inside, he descended and with his broom
approached the reptile. There was per-
hapS three inches of water in the tank.
The man soaked the broom and began to
sweep the alligator down, when something
happened. The negro seemed sudden
~ to fly into the air and turn a somer
sault, landing on his back, from which
position he scrambled to his feet. made
rush for the ladder and came out
several grades whittier than when he
entered The alligator had struck him
with its powerful tail just behind the
knee and at the same time had thrown
its wide-open mouth around and snapped
at him. 1t was an attempt to bat the
negro into its mouth The keeper was
astonished, but evidently not SO much
so as the negro, and possibly the alligator,
that had missed a good meal.
Turtles display little or no intelligence,

seaweed from my hand; but beyond this
there was no evidence of intelligence.
Some turtles l have kept, especially

gopher. which was notable for its sociabil-

number of the large Galapagos tortoises,

They are completely tame and seem to
enjoy attention A little girl appears to
be a favorite and when she climbs upon
the back of the strange pets they carry
her about with ease. The huge creatures
also follow her around the corral for the
food which she deals out to them.
These huge pets are found on the
Galapagos Islands and are among the
animals that are destined soon to pass
away, becoming rarer every year Sew
eral different kinds are known on the
various islands, suggesting that they are
OF great age and geological curiositieS.

California desert living in regions that
are almost impossible to man. One of
these was found by a man who was

owners hand following him about the
little Office, venturing out only at night.

In history we have many instances
of queer companionship. Spiders have

Crabs are not noted for their intelli-

notably a hermit that had taken up its

and it would make its way daily up the side
of the table-cloth to the top of the table
where a saucer of fresh water was kept

A PUEBLO LEGEND.
The Story OF the Great Flood and the
Monster Turtle.


The children Of the Pueblo Indians
have a Noah's ark of their own, and
some of the animals II contains are
very curious lndeed-such animals, in
, fact. us civilized young people nre not
, acquainted with Among them are
mountain goats, queer creatures Of the
cat tribe and prong horned anteloDes
All of these animals are made out of
clay ana baked like pottery, after
which they are painted in quite nm
artistic and lifcike fashion.
Like most other peoples, the Pueblo
Indians have n tradition Of great
flood. The catastrophe occurred long
ngo. when they lived III the ancient
lund OF their forefnthers. One day the
earth began to shake nnd strange
rumblings grew louder and louder un-
til ut length IN opening ynwncd In
the middle of the central square Of
the town. Out Of the opening gushed
mighty stream Of water overwhem.
Ing the houses and flooding the val
ley. 80 that the inhabitants fled with
their live stock to ncighborlng noun
tains.
Presently there rose out OF the hole
In the earth the head or gigantic
turtle, which lowered to the very roof
or the Sky. Everybody was terror
stricken, but the chief man OF the
town. whose name ought to huve been
Noah, plucked up the courage to ask
The great reptile what 1t wanted. The
turtle replied that il was hungry and
that It's uDDctite coull bp nunnn cnd
only by the sacrifice OF young nnn
and II young woman. There was moth.
Ing to do but to obey. aud so IL hund-
some youth and beautiful girl were
delivered up TO the turtle, which took
them In its mouth and sank with them
through the hole. Immediately uIl OF
the water flowed away. and In the
plnce where the reptile had appeared
there rose up IL large blnck rock, which,
according to the myth, may be seen to
this day, testifylng to the truth OF the
story
Unfortunately, the dclugc left things
In such Il clamp and uncomfortable
condition. after destroying all Of the
houses aud most Of the portable prom
orty. That the people thought 1t wIsrst
to 50 away. So they started Oh n
Journey northward, the whole tribe of
them, and the crane, which IL IL sacred
bird, flew nlcad TO pick out the dricst
route. At length they came to the re-
gion which their descendants now In
