RAT TLEsNAkE DEN ON

Good German Husbandman Finds
a Ready Sale for Rattlers
! in Gotham.
Special to The Journal.

Special TO Inc Journdl.
Hudson, Wis, Aug. 4.-John L.
Moelter. who lives in the German
settlement will hereafter not depend
solely upon hogs, cattle, horses and
sheep for income, but expects to make
something out Of .rattlesnakes.
In a certain place on his farm large,
ragged rocks are heaped in wild con.
fusion, partly hidden by trees and un-
derbrush, and this place Mr. Moelter
has named Rattlesnake Den,' because
it is fairly alive with rattlesnakes.
Early in the spring, while they were
stiff and weak with cold, Mr.. Moelter
captured several snakes, and sent their
rattles to New York. realizing a neat
sum for them. H..
The -rattlers on Mr.. Moelter's farm
are very large. measuring from four to
six feet in length. They may be seen
in heaps in among the holes or OPEN
ings between the rocks, and cannot be
approached with safety except by per-
sons armed with clubs and tin plates
wound around their legs.
"Doco F. Cawthorne, employed in
the Hudson studio, ventured to FRat-
tlesnake Dem with his camera and sue
ceeded in taking two pictures. Mr..
Moelter and another man acted as a
bodyguard for the photographer, plant:
ing blows on the heads of rattlers that
showed fight. The accompanying pic.
ture shows a rattler stretched out be-
meath Mr.. Moelter's club.

COBALT PRODUCERS
WANT A SHELTER
No Income from Byproducts
When Mines Ship to the
United States. T. :"
Special to The Journal.

Cobalt, Ont, Aug. 4-The. richest
silver mines in the world are proving
to be far richer than was at first sup
posed. However, at present, things
are very quiet here owing to five of the
largest mines having ceased to ship ore
pending the result of experiments to
be made at the new smelter at Hamil-
ton. Ont. <@@& "2,-.".5a
IF the working of this smelter proves
successful, upwards of million dollars
will be expended in perfecting the
plant, which will be operated by a
joint stock company.
=. In the past the companies shipping
ore have been obliged to send it across
the international boundary and their
objection to continue to ship to the
United States lies in the fact that the
producers receive no remuneration from
the byproducts. The byproducts, oxide,
nickel and arsenic, produce respective
ly pound II per cent, 8 to per cent
and 60 per cent of pure silver, valued at
So to $3.50, As cents, and from to 2
cents.
. With a smelter on this side Of the
line these byproducts would go to the
shipper instead Of being confscated.
The early reports of the richness of
this district were not exaggerated by
any means, in fact, it is proving much
| richer than was at first supposed.
