 "we gave them <e freedom of the lawn most of the time, and we never had anything around that gave us more pleasure than those bears They were quite as playful as young pup pies. and they had great fun playing with my Scotch terrier. But even when the bears were young they had 6 little more dignity than the puppies; at least the cubs used almost always to get tired of playing before the pup pies did and when they were tired they would make 1t so plain by a cuff alongside the head or in some other way that the pups always understood and stopped at once
 "One of the most amusing things about the whole business was the way the dogs would go away back and lie down, as soon as they noticed that the cubs were tired. The dogs always 'Snew when the bears had had enough and, too, they knew it wasn't healthy to suggest more frolicking till the bears made it clear that they were ready to have fun again. Then the puppies were always on hand: l do not remember that they ever got tired first.

 You'll have to be careful about the food of your wild animals if you ever try to breed any, You must look out especially that there are no decayed or frozen apples or potatoes on the ground where they can get at them, and this is particularly true of deer. A deer will die in half an hour after eating a mess of frozen potatoes. Oats are bad for them. too, and a pint of oats will kill a moose in an hour If you want to give them grain In any form let 1t be ground feed.

They have no sense of humor, like cub bears or antelope. and I wouldn't advise you to invest in elk.
 After the bull elk I have just men tioned had killed four of my cattle one of my ranchmen planned to rope the brute, throw him and then cut of his horns.

ANOTHER ARTISAN
 FLOW ENCOUNTERED
Second We'll Now Running 75
 Gallons Of Water Par Minute

Douglas. Ariz., Nov. 21.-(SpeciaL) )-
 When the Copper Queen struck a flow of artesian water in a well re gently which was being bored in the valley west of the smelter there was doubt of the permanency of the flow, though it has continued at the rate of twenty-five gallons per minute for several weeks. The casing in this well was lost at a depth of 200 feet, and it was abandoned on that ac- count and another well started 100 feet from the first one.
 This morning in this well, at 6 depth of 405 feet another aTtesian flow was encountered which leaves but little doubt of the presence cf permanent artesian water in the Sul. phur Springs valley. This information was received this morning by the In- teTnatiOnal-American from Alex Ad- amson, master mechanic at the smell ter and in charge of the well boring. MT. Adamson stated that the old well was plugged up yesterday, as they removed the pumps from it and did not desire to be bothered with the waste water In the new well, at a depth of 390 feet. a red rock was pierced by the drill. After the drill had gone fifteen feet into the rock a flow of water was struck this morning which is now running at the rate of seventy-ive gallons per minute, and the flow is steadily increasing.
 The water, notwithstanding the pumping machinery, reaches the sur face perfectly clear, which would in dicate the presence of large stream as its source.
 The Copper Queen, it would now seem, in the striking of this flow has demonstrated the presence in this valley of permanent artesian water. If this proves to be true Douglas will become one of the largest cities of the southwest, as the land which could be cultivated in this valley would support a population here of 5O,O00, to say nothing of smelling and other enterprises.
