TOWNSEND.
Another Dog Killed After Showing Signs of
Rabies, the Fifth in Four Weeks-LocaIs.

Special Corr rrespondence to the TINES.
TOWNSEND, May 8:-A large fox
hound apparently suffering from rabies
was shot by Thomas Darrell of near
Townsend, on Thursday. The animal
had but few moments before run af-
ter several children playing near the
Darrell home. None were bitten. This
makes the fifth mad dog killed in this
section in about four weeks.
AS result of the recent mad dog
scare, the Town Commissioners have
appointed Fletcher johnson to serve
as canine patrOlman, his only duty be-
ing to kill all dogs found running
about the streets. Consequently Mr..
johnson can now be seen making his
daily trips about town with a gun on
his shoulder. Since Monday he has
shot quite number of dogs that were
found on the streets. He is paid so
cents per head.
There is every prospect of a large
crop of Strawberries in the lower part
of New Castle county this season, and
peaches. apples and cherries have re-
ceived no set back. If good prices can
be obtained the fruit growers will reap
a rich harvest.

pect of large fruit crop will make
them unusually active in preparing
their cars and getting ready to handle
the output. The one perplexing ques-
ton will be in getting ice. With the
scarcity of ice which is reported there
may be more or less concern through
out the Delaware Division. Then
icing plant here will be gotten in readi-
ness and the first refrigerator cars will
be sent to the vicinity of BrIdgeviIle

will be large strawberry crop.

Strikes Ledge

Mr.. Garman, the local representative
of the Longfellow Mill and Mining
Company, who have been operating in
the Red Canyon district for the past
few years, arrived in town last Satur-
day evening, he brings the good tidings
that they h we at last struck what he
believes is the real ledge in the old
Knox mine, or what is now known. rs
the Big Frank. The ledge was struck
at depth of about 70 feet from the
surface, by means of tunnel which
the company has been running during
the present winter, 1t is about 3 feet
in width and is very hard. The ledge
lstarted to crop out from the foot wall
and gradually widened out until they
have a we'll defined ledge which shows
free gold when panned. The assay
value has not been determined as yet,
but it is expected to run quite high.
In an interview with Mr.. Carman
he said, THAT while he would not say
that he has bonanza he felt certain
that he had succeeded in uncoyering
the big ledge which is known to run
through that district andwhioh mining
men have been prospecting for. during
the past 30 years.
He stated that if the ledge continu-
ed to hold out, that his company was
prepared To spend large sum in dew
eloping the property.

New Fuel

Several Goldfield people are seriously
interested in the project of local
miner to solve the fuel problem bv
making fuel bri1uetts from crude oil
and greasewood or sagebrush. The
discoverer of this happy combination
says that when the brush is cut fine
an compressed under high pressure,
at en- being soaked in oil, it possesses
great potency for creating heat and
thet 1t will retain its fuel value for
many months.
Briqettes thus made, from natiye
brush and oil selling at 81, % barrel
in Goldfeld, he says, can be retailed
at 81, 50 ton, which is about one
third the price charged for wood, and
about one fifth the cost of coal 1t
will radiate as much as either, he says.
The discoyerer of the new briquet is
trying to form "a company TO manfac-
ture the new fuel. which he says will
greatly reduce the cost of generating
power in the southern Nevada country
