val two trusted men were put
to work Stopping out the ore and
two Others guarding the en-
trance to the workings.
The news fairly elec trihed the
camp, despite the fac. that SEN
sational finds are becoming
everyday occurances. Several
samples were exhibited by Off
GERS of the company, who were
besieged by crowd which gath
cred soon after the news of the
strike became public property.
These samples for size and rich
ness surpass anything that the
ground at Manhattan has yield
ed up to date, and will rank a
mong the largest specimens of
gold ever mined in this country
One specimen weighing % oun-
ICES, six inches long, representing
the width of the vein, is almost
Solid gold. The many seasoned
miners and mining experts who
examined this specimen today
unite in saying that it is the
handsomest and consequently
the richest deposit from the
mother lode they have ever
seen. 1t is streaked with fine
grained marble-Ike quartz
which hugs close to the crevices
oi it's irregular outlines. The en-
tire specimen is a bright yellow
mass, except where it is relieved
by the impregnated quartz. One
side is worn smooth, as if by the
force of slide in the cont act,
and the other side is moulded
just in the shape it was deposi-
ted by the molten mass.

There is a move on foot to
knock out the house fly. The
scientists, psychologists and
health officers are after the house
fly, and say that it is only a
question of time until they have
her going south. Our sympath-
les are entirely with the knock
ers, but we are not betting on
them: If we were to bet at all,
we would place our hard-earned
cash on the house fly The fe-
male house fly, which is really
the only member of the family
worth considering, is a bird of
great perseverance and marve-
lous productive powers. She
can rise III the morning, knock
the dust out of her eyes with her
front legs then settle down to
business, and by evening be the
mother of seven million anxious
and energetic children. BY the
third day all of these offsprings
are ready to start in business on
their own hook. 1t is very hard
to keep up with productive fe-
male of that kind. 1t is believed
however, that by doctoring the
places of the house fly
her eggs can be destroyed before
they matched. and in this way
the family can be gradually ex
terminated. AS we have said,
our smypathes are entirely with
the knockers. The house fly has
no redeeming traits of character
that we have discovered. She is
the personihcation of insolence.

CRYING saELLs OF cEYLoN.
Sounds They Make Like the Notes Of
an keoiian Harp.

Sir ]. Emerson Tennent, having
heard a story about musical sounds
Issuing from the lake at Batticalea,
in Ceylon, paid visit to the place,
says Chambers Journal. The fisher
men told him that the sounds, which
resembled the faint sweet notes Of
an aeolian harp, were heard only at
night and during the dry season, were
most distinct when the moon was
nearest the full, and proceeded, they
believed, not from a fish, but from
shell called the crying SHE'LL
In the evening"" says Tennent,
when the moon rose l took a boat
and accompanied the fishermen to the
spot. We rowed about 200 yards
northeast of the jetty by the fort
gate; there was not breath of wind
or a ripple except those caused by
the dip of our oars. On coming to
the point mentioned l distinctly
heard the sounds in question They
came up from the water like the
gentle thrills of musical chord. or

with the lowest bass.
"On applying the ear to the wood.
work of the boat the vibration was
greatly increased in volume. The
sounds varied considerably at different
points as we moved across the lake.

gether, until on returning to the orig
inal locality the sounds were at once
renewed. This fact seems to indicate
that the causes of the sounds, what
ever they may be, are stationary at
several points, and this agrees with
the statement of the natives that they
are produced by mollusca and not by
fish
They came evidently and sensibly
from the depth of the lake, and there ,
was nothing in the surrounding cir
cumstances to support the conjecture
that they could be the reverberation
OF noises made by insects on the shore

distinct at points where the nature OF

Considering the fact that it was the
first game that any of the Eagle River
boys ever playea the showing they
made was not 50 very bad for most of
Minocqua team played the year before
and were also greatly helped by Raw
son the principal of the Minocqua
High school who kept them steady and
into the game all the time.
The game was remarkably free from
all foul tactics or brutal play Of any
which shows that the boys of both
teams have excellent control of their
tempers. This is speaking very well
for the boys for in a game as siren
uous as football, mex perienced men
are liable to forget themselves and
indulge in a sort of rough and tumble
scrap.
We cannot say too much in praise
of the treatment we received from the
Minocquites. No effort was spared to
make us comfortable and help us to
enjoy our visit except the size CT the
score.
A return game Will be played at
Eagle River Oct 20And no effort will
be spared to make the result more
favorable for Eagle River.
