A FLYING SQUIRRELS NEsr.

I
Out at Camp Aiken on Patterns pond a
/ flying squirrel this year built a nest in
the dingle. For the unsophisticated who
may not know what ''dingien is. it Is
well to explain that 1t is a small outside
cupboard which, at camp, serves instead
of the commonplace ice-chest or cold cell
lar in civilized housekeeping.
/ This particular dingle consists of a box
about fifteen inches square and twelve
inches deep, fastened to the shingled side
of the camp, about four feet from the
ground. The door is hinged at the top, so
that il falls in place of its own weight.
The dingle is inaccessible to ordinary
four-footed beasts, of these parts, and
with the door down, even hawk or
night-prowIing owl would probably find
it impossible to invade the cosy security
of Mistress Squirrel. The squire, of
course, could easily reach the nest by lily
ing" or scaling from a ighboring tree or
the roof of the camp. Then, crawling in
under the loose swinging door which
swung behind her, she was as snug a. the
proverbisl "bug in q rug, secure from
wind and storm and from natural enc
mics.
But in an evil moment terrible man
went TO the dingle, and discovered Mis-
tress Squirrel ana her little family OF four
or Eve tiny squirrels, whose eyes had not
yet opened ON the world into which they
had been born, and who had not yet
grown the furry coat Of their mother.
The mother left the nest and watched
proceedings suspieiously from tree.
The little ones were not disturbed. and
them. A liberal supply of bread was left
as peace offering, but though the bread
was eaten, Mistress Squirrels peace OF
mind was too much disturbed, aud when
a week later the nest was visited, it was
empty. 1t is presumed the anxious
mother carried them TO some other home,
as mother cat will frequently do with
her young when disturbed. Let US hope
the little family found another home
equally as secure.
Flying squirrels are not common in this
vicinity, They are a tritie smaller than
the common red squirrel, and their coat is
silvery gray. From the fore feet to the
hind feet a loose fur-covered skin
stretches, SO that when its feet are
extended the little fellow forms living
aeroplane, and is thus enabled to launch
itself fearlessly from the top of one tree
and fly, or, in reality, scale, many feet
from one tree to another
The Gossiper will always regret that he
did not witness the interesting operation
of moving. as conducted by the flying
squirrel. The little ones were certainly
too young to fly for themselves, and the
mother must have carried them, assuming
of course that they were not carried off by
hawks or owls, which seems unlikely.

Secretary Metnalrs first rennrt

Secretary Metcalf's first report TO
the President on the situation ia San
Francisco seems to be an eminently
sane and conservative statement Of
the situation. Like the most official
accounts of great disasters, it reduces
the first excessive estimate of the
deathroll. But ii says that it is i'm
possible to overstate the material loss
involved. Secretary Metcalf has I'm
ished the inspection of the entire
burned district, and says that while
it will never be possible to tell ex-
actly the number of dead, as many of
the bodies were destroyed in the
ruins, he thinks 300 will cover the
number. There are about 1000 in
Jured in the hospitals, but of these
only few are seriously hurt.

NJ. j. Drummey, of Ellsworth, has a
qusrtette of baby foxes at the city farm
which he found near the sand pit last

of these animals say that the mother fox

not have been out OF their hole. They are
growing rapidly and are already very tame,

 The average yield of the Greene Consolidated company's ore was aoout 5s pounds perton. or approximately , per cent. This is not considered es- pecially low grade, as such important producers as the Granby, Arizona, De troit Mountain and Tennessee copper companies. the two big milling com panies of Bingham and all or the ly. Nevada, properties are securing or will recover, lower average yieid. | do not expect the Greene's average to stay down to the level maintained last year. but if it does there Is no reason why the company's costs can not be reduced ultimately to cents per pound of copper.
 At s25 per share, Greene Censoii dated stock is selling very much lower than the stocks of many other com panies upon which no dividends ar paid and which certainly have n' greater future prospects. l beiiev' that Greene stock is entitled to SUI stantial advance and that 1t Will D Irealized in the very near future.
