WOULD CUT MORE ICE.

Some time since, according to a
story told at a recent banquet in this
city, a couple of CHEEKY sons of the
Emerald Isle were walking down the
street one day when they CHANGED to

ions stones laid in dazzling heap.
For a while they gazed in silence,
and then Pat emitted long sigh.

THREATEN MOOSE
FOR CLAIM Jumper
RESIDENTS or SILVER HOW MN.
ING DISTRICT ARE IN
IN ARMS.

The discovery of rich ore at sill
yer Bow. fifty miles east OF Goldfleid.
In the Kawich range. started claim
jumping. which resulted in a meet
ing OF the claim owners at which Il
was decided that anyone jumping
claims in future would either be
hung or escorted across the desert,
never to return"
The claim jumping was started by
two Slavonians. Nick Vicko and Nick
Stephic. The following graphic ac-
count of the incidents is from a
special correspondent of the Goldfieli
Chronicles:
"On account of the rich ore shown
up on the Gift claim and the COOL
showings that are on the adjoining
claims, claim umping at Silver Bow
was the principal excitement of last
week The ground upon which Cir
ton let lease to Captain Peterson OF
Goldfield was claimed by Nick Vicko
and Nick Stephic on account of Cir
ton locating New Years night and
the location paper read Northwestern
ly and southwesterly. His work was
completed and ground staked in jan
uary and staked nearly easterly and
westerly. The jumpers alleging that
he did not stake as located, drove the
leasers off, and the men-E. Lanke
and c. Anderson, whom Captain
Peterson had put to work-went in
with the Nicks and all located the
ground, claiming they could not find
| the stakes.
The Swede boys, who have lease
on the Silver Bow Bell, jumped two
more of Girton's claims, Lanke and
Anderson being witnesses, on account
of insufficient work having been
done. Girton returned to Silver Bow
last Monday night and was informed
what was going on. He and his son
went to the claims next day, found
all the location papers gone and the
claims located Girton kicked down
what monuments could be found and
went to most of the men in camp and
informed them what he had done.
Twelve men met that night and de-
cided to go with Girton and investi-
| gate his claims. They found the
claims staked and work done on all
except one, on which it was sixty-two
| feet short as measured exposing the
ledge in place. This work was done
in six feet of snow, completed Jann-
airy 81 thissyear, as shown on the
records. They decided that the
claims should be Girtons. But Nick
Stephic refused to consent to this
and said he would bring suit.
A general meeting of the camp was
called that night to see what should
be done. Thirty-seven were present
and by majority of this number it
was resolved that after the Sth day
of November all work must be 240
feet and claims staked by six stakes.

Surprised and Frightened.

1t was learned by wireless, that
three well-known Maine men receiv-
ed one of the scares of their lives.
Wednesday morning of last week,
while on hunting trip near Moose
headLake, and even at the time that
the message was received they had
hardly resumed their usual state of
equanimity. The gentlemen in ques-
ton are A. B. Thompson of Pittsfeld,
superintendent of the Sebasticook &
Moosehead railroads, S. G. Smith. a
well known business man of Port
land and John II. Burleigh of Water
vile, civil engineer.
The party numbering nine in all,
had gone up to Indian pond on a
hunting trip, the journey having been
made in Supt. Thompson's private
car. On arriving at their destination
the car was set off on a siding and
was used in lieu of camp. For con
venience the party divided into
squads, three men in squad, one of
the squads being composed of the
three gentlemen mentioned above.
Wednesday morning the hunters
started out, and before long the su-
perintendent and his two friends ran
across bull moose, and a big one.
and the artillery of the party got into
action at rate that gave the impress
sion of those who heard the firing
that Calling gun had been turned
lose in the Maine forest. The moose
succumbed-he could not help it-for
had the bullets not reached a vital
part he could hardly have carried
away the lead which was alleged to
