RICH GOLD ORE
 FOUND NEAR TOWN
A Carload of S2eO Rock Ready for
 Shipment.

There is now being collected here the richest carload of ore ever shipped out of Phoenix. IL is coming from the For tuna mine, sixteen mi elsnortheast of the city. A wagon load of it was brought down yesterday by Billy Will Hams, who owns the Red Dog mine adjoining the Fortuna. The carload will be complete by today and the ore will be sent to the Humboldt smelter. It is said it will averag ge $200 in gold to the ton.
 There was only one man in the world mine. That was William Hoover who discovered it ana secured lease to take out a ton of the ore. He was to have half the proceeds, which he be- lieves will net him for his share 5000. He has been at work, though not con- stantly, for three months in getting it out and he has done all the work him. self.
 There was in the beginning a two foot vein of the ore, put the more it grown and at the same time has been increasing in richness. The Fortuna which was opened about thirty years ago is now owned by Phoenix men. It was first located by Hawkins, Hicks and Macdonald and some years after ward it was relocated by F. A. Shaw and J.

A DOGS SAGACITy
 FINDS HIM FRIENDS
He Knew the Dos Catcher was a Han
 to be Avoided.

Many have remarked the instinctive which makes the work of that function ary all the more arduoUs. When his wagon is going along the street the dogs for blocks in advance begin bark ing warning signals with the result that only the fool dogs which do not heed them are caught
 A few days ago a tramp dog attach ed himself to the sidewalk in front of the Republican office. He hesitated, as all such dogs do, and never tried to enter the building. It is doubtful if he could have been coaxed in, but con- tented himself with sleeping or being in front of it. He seemed to want just that much of the companionship of the men who were working by night
 But on Monday when the dog catch ing season began this tramp injected himself into the building and hid away In the most inaccessible corners. He left his lair only long enough to rustic something to eat and while he was panhandling, it could be seen that he had his eye open for the catcher of dogs.
 His uncertain existence and the in- telligence with which he was trying to preserve at last inspired sympathy so that a collection was taken up for the purchase of one of those unornamental brass squares which the city is selling at the most outrageous prices and the dog was equipped with one.
 As soon as the collar was put on the tramp he became a new dog. He in stantly ceased to care d darn for the dog catcher or anybody else. There was no more sneaking about and hid ing. The relief that that dog felt was worth the price of the tag and dollar.
 While on the subject of dog tags. one would know from the style of the pres
