ANIMAL REMAINS
 FOUND ON D0R|C
To Be Photographed, Brought to Town and Placed on
 Exhibition.

Drifting has recently disclosed a huge tusk on H. F. Thumm $ ground. No. Doric creek. It is more than 10 inches i'll diameter and has been uncovered for a dis tance of possibly I2 feet. The point yet remains imbedded i'll the earth, and the exact dimensions can not be ascertained; but 1t Is be- lleved 1t will prove to be one of the largest specimens of its kind ever found ia the north. Its curvature is even, and the only thing, so far, to indicate impertection as speci- men Is the fact that it is broken in two six feet from the big end. This great piece of fossil ivory was found i'll the roof O! the mine about r feet from the surface.
 Some 50 feet distant, on the same claim, there was recently unearthed the fossil head ot prehistoric spe- cies of buffalo. No horns now re- main attached to this massive piece of bone, but one of the projections remaining intact prove that they at one time existed of immense thick ness and length. The skull is broadest at tie top, ard If both the horn nobs were ill place the whole might measure nearly five feet. Eye sockets ou the sides are large and deep. The brain cavity is small and covered by immense thickness of bone. The structure of the head indicates that these ex- ,inct beasts were prepared to de fend themselves against powerful foes.
 The specimens will be photo graphed, after which they are to be sent in by Heeter's $ teams and placed on exhibition i'll Rampant.
 No. Doric is a very rich claim IL was first worked to any extent in the winter of 1903 o4. Pans were washed running between $500 and S4oo. A large cleanup will be made this spring. The claim was formerly the property of J B. Win. gate. who let it go by default.

It is probable that no American who ever .andered far enough aheld to see any of the animals here treated of has failed, at some time or other, to hear and perhaps take part in discussion as to their rela- tionship to each other. It is equally probable that no two Americans ever met who held the same opin- ion: one will declare his belief to be that the groundhog and the marmot are identical, while the woodchuck is entirely distinct; all other will declare they are all the same; another, they are all different, and so on. I have listened long and patiently to these discussions, and held my own view; but not long ago while Alaskan marmots were under discussion my temper was put to the test by some one remai king: They are all the same; there is nc difference between the marmot and eastern woodChuck or badger - Badger. indeed What sane man, thought I, ever before failed to distinguish between q badger ard a whistling marmot?
 Then and there I resolved to get authoritative statements with which to enlighten the next groundhog assembly l happened amongst. l wanted to dispose of the badger proposition first; so l took up the dictionary ard turned to-

one of its Inspectors out to pay an

charged with petit larceny, but who
may be charged with grand lar
ceny, was continued To-Day by Judge
Hinkle in police court until tomor-
row. Shepard admitted stealing an
overcoat belonging to e. l.. Har-

taken it had in the right pocket a
diamond. If the diamond proves
to be worth more than 500 Shepard
will be charged with grand larceny.
If not he will probably serve a SEN

Shepard took the overcoat from

STORIES OF C0REYS WHEN THEY
WERE YOUNG, POOR AND LOVED

cottage looks much as 1t did 10
years ago when Corey came home
with his pay envelope in his over
alls and a dinner pail on his arm,
when the wife was at the door
waiting as wives waited at other
modest homes on the hillside
streets.
She was always a quiet girl"
the neighbor continued. "She went
about little. She was always at
the door to meet her husband when
he came home from his work. She
was busy all day about her house.
"They say Corey disagreed with
his wife because she wished a quiet
home life while he sought a gayer
society. She knew him best. Per-
haps she was acting for what she
thought was his own good in ad-
vising a quieter way of living when
he won his great wealth. It's
shameful that she should be put
aside this way. hope she will
fight any attempt to deprive her of
any rights"
The mine where Corey first
worked has long since been aban-
doned and filled in. Philip O'Brien,
one of the old miners who worked
with Corey there, is back in Brad
dock looking up old friends. Har1
times have come to him since he
worked at Braddock, and he has
drifted pretty much all over the
country. The others, too, have
gone.
II was making more than Corey
was those days." says old O'Brien.
Seems funny, doesn't it? They say
that he is worth $10,000,000 now.
When he worked at the mine no.
body took any special notice of him.
I'd come out with my car and he
would weigh the coal. We'd have
a word or two before went below
again. He was just like any other
young fellow there"
So 1t is in the talk of men who
worked with Corey in the Edgar
Thomson mills. But while the wo-
men who were neighbors of the
Coreys condemn him because his
wife seems TO have been put aside
for a your ass, the men

went to work in a little coal mine
his relat ]. B. Corey, had dug
in a hiIFlde near the Corey home
stead.
The little dump cars, filled by
the miners, were run out on a tip
pie. Young Corey stood at the foot
of it and weighed them. A little
later he went to the Edgar-Thom-
son steel plant, which was in
charge of young Jones father.
There for a time he was check
weighman. That's a job very sim
liar to the one he held at the
mine.
Then he was put to work in the
laboratory at the plant. He pounded
up ore for tests. Jones noticed
young Corey and he was put ahead.
He was made foremand of one de-
partment of the plant with 20 or
more men under him. From here
he was sent to Homestead and in
time became one of the heads of
the plant that made armor for
battleships.
There came a government inves-
tigation of charges that had to do
with blowholes in armor plates. 1t
is remembered that the investigat-
ors didn't get much information
from Corey, and that rapid adj
vancement followed in the next
few years.
Corey had married Laura Cook
when he first entered the Edgar
Thomson works at Braddock. His
wife inherited some money from a
grandfather. They built their first
home. 1t was larger than the four
room cottage they had rented, but
was in no way pretentious. They
lived there a short time after Cor
ey was transferred to Homestead.
When they moved, Mrs. Corey
seems to have dropped out of the
lives of Braddock residents.

were first married." said Mrs. Mel
lie Thomas. Next door, just a few
yards away, stands the four room
Corey cottage. The street has been
paved since the Coreys moved
away. A porch has taken the place
of the "stoop" in front. But the

Corey paced the straight and mar

work in way that left no time

story at first hand say, "Mebbe so,
