FLOWING TO FIND GOLD.

Elko Especially - The farm of
Charles Hobson, near Elko, is being
rapidly plowed up to find a can filled
with gold.
Mr.. Hobson. who is a prosperous
farmer, had in his possession sew
eral hundred dollars in gold. and,
having no place in his residence in
which to hide 1t. placed the coins in
tin can and buried the can in a field
near his dwelling. Three days ago
he went to get the hidden treasure.
but there was no can in the place
where he thinks he buried it.
Whether it has been stolen or
whether he has forgotten the exact
location of the gold is now the ques-
ton, and, taking no chances, he is
blowing up the entire field.

COurtship Among Animals.

Another human trait that seems al,
most universal among the lower ami
mails is the coyness and reluctance
of the female in her relations to the
male. Her first impulse is to refuse
and to flee. She is negative as the
male is positive. Among the birds
there is something like regular court
ship, there is rivalry and jealousy
and hostile collision on the part Of
both sexes. With the birds the propa-
eating instinct in the female is ev:-
IDENTIFY not subject to the same law
of recurring intervals that it is
among mammals. Hence the female
must be stimulated and won by the
male. He addresses himself to her
lin way that is quite exceptional.
If it occurs at all, among mammals.
His aim seems to be to kindle or
quicken her sexual and mating i'm
pulses. In the case of mammals these
impulses recur at certain periods. and
no courtship on the Part of the male
is necessary. Burroughs. in
the Outing Magazine.
