view of determining the extent of the
Blue Bell vein. Outcrops indicate that
his claim has the extension of the Blue
Bell ledge but the ground has received
but little prospecting and the strength
of the vein at that point has never been
determined.
Work has been started on the Clana-
han mines by W. S. Smith. This is the
third property to operate in the Mineral
Flat country, and as the locations nave
been numerous in the past few days
considerable activity may be looked for
in that section of the country. This
group of mines lie three-quarters of a
mile north of the Leadville Johnnie, and
has a galena ledge tina shows remark
able gold values. Assays from samples
taken across the face of the ledge in
several places shows the gold to run
as high as from 800 to $3.50, and 20
ounces silver.
The Frost-Rathbone lease grows more
valuable with every stroke of the pick.
Two shifts are now working sacking the
rich ore, and as more men can be hired
three shifts will be put to work. The
ledge on the 40 level continues to yield
it's marvelously rich ore and the vein is
widening as it approaches the Globe
ground. There can be no doubt that
with a little more work this lease will
compare with some of the bonanZa
leases of the northern country. No work
has been done as yet on the 100 level.
the attention being concentrated in the
upper workings. In face of the ledge
the seam of gold is as plainly visible as
it is in the specimen rock.
On the Globe property the workme1
are still operating in the lower tunnel
and the superintendent expects to get
into the rich ore in about a week. Then
stopping will commence and some record
breaking shipments can be expected.
The new shaft which is being sunk on
an extension of the Johnnie lode is 60
ing through a ten-foot ledge hat aver
ages between 81 and SIS.
The Leadville Johnnie is now working
an extra force of men in prospecting the
Last Chance claim, which has developed
some very rich indications in the last
week. Besides this prospect work, the
regular force is at work in the No. 2
shaft.
The C.. c. Beauregard lease is show
ing some marvelously rich ore. This
lease has the extension of the ledge
from the Rathborne-Frost lease but the
ledge has not been exploited enough to
determine anything regarding the ore
body beyond the fact that some very
rich ore is being sacked from the sur
face. When a little more depth is
reached on this lease, so that the ledge
is well defined 1t may prove the Globe
Treasure vein to be much larger a
even the Rathborne-Frost strike showed
it to be.

Johnnie, New, Oct. 1O.-Goldfeld and

be anked amcng the investors in this

All except Mr.. Patrick are interested
in the old Chippa mine, now known as
the Congress, the mine that gave Bob"
Montgomery his start in the mining and
financial world. This property has had
a varied and romantic history. Ten
years or so ago it was ranked as one
of the big producers of the state, turn
ing out it's hundreds of thousands in
bullion, but there was a defect in the
title and a battle ensued in which men
were killed. Then, when the trouble had
been adjusted, it began it's career of
production and gradually drifted into
the hands of George and Bob" Mont
gomery. One day a fire was discovered
and before it could be extinguished the
mill was a total wreck, the buildings
being burned to the ground and the ma
chinery rendered worthless. This some
what discouraged the owners and work
progressed in a desultory manner and
finally was abandoned. The property
passed through various hands until the
present owners acquired it.
L. L. Patrick has purchased a group
of mines in the Mineral Flat country
which has shown such activity of late.
Galena lodges abound here and many
locations have been taken up in this
section in the past few weeks.
The ore shoot recently encountered by
Superintendent Moser in the 700 level
of the Johnnie Consolidated has been

Intelligence Of Ants.

The testing of the intelligence OF
ants is a favorite study of naturalistS,
and recently there have been published
accounts Of some interesting expert
ments TO determine the seat of the rec
ocnition sense. It is we'll known that
ants, not only of one species, but OF
one community of the same species,
are able to recognize one another, While
TO members of other colonies or species
they are markedly hostile. In this last
investigation the author rejects the
theory that there is Language sense"
in the antennae of the ant, stating
that these organs are employed in feel
ing objects of all kinds, both animate
and inanimate. He believes, however.
that the antennae have some sense OF
smell, and accordingly he anointed ants
Of one community with infusions made
from their friends and foes. When an
ointed with the former, the hostile ants
were not attacked as long as the intiu-
ence Of the infusion persisted. In fur.
ther corroboration Of this theory it
was found that when an ant was de-
prived of its antennae it would attack
both friend and foe without discrimin-

Troops Protect Policeman.


John Marion Ashley, white far
mer of Honea Path, was shot and
probably fatally wounded by Police
man White, who was endeavoring to
arrest Ashley. The wounded mans
relatives and friends soon gathered
and threatened to do violence to the
officer. Fearing serious trouble, Gov
arnor Howard was notified and re-

Accordingly the Anderson company
was dispatched to Honea Path by a
special train, and quiet was soon re-
stored. White was taken to Ander-
son jail for safe keeping.
The direct cause Of the trouble was
the ancient feud existing between the
municipality of Honea Path and the
numerous Ashley family. Marion
Ashley was resisting with arms the
arrest of the latter's son, Jim BOD
Ashley. Upon the officers attempting
TO arrest young Ashley, it is stated
that the father opened fire upon the

thumb, whereupon the policeman hrea
