with all his might, he needed not my
attempts to lure or scare him away.
With the first rap on the nest, a
deep roaring buzz was heard inside.
Again I called to Happy Heart; and
again he needed not! Disobedience
brings it's own reward.
Finding the nest imperforable. Hap
py Heart, nothing daunted, found the
entrance to the nest and squeezed
himself into 1t.
Then It seemed as II spasm Of ter
ror and pain had seized him. He flop
ped out of the nest, scores Of the hor-
nets clinging to his head and breast,
and singing furiously. Across the
meadow and straight for the shelter
Of the old apple tree he flew, followed
and surrounded by hordes Of the infu-
rated hornets. They buzzed stormily
about him, burying themselves among
his feathers and setting his body on
fire with the pain Of their continuous
singing.
When Happy Heart reached the
shelter Of the old apple tree he could
hardly see his way. He sought safety
in the shadowy depths Of the old trees
trunk. But still the hornets followed
him, making his refuge insecure and
unbearable.
Wild with pain and fright. and
roaming wildly, he scrambled out
and flew to the woods. Surely his tor
mentors would not follow him there!
But a hornets anger Is inappeasable.
Fainter grew dear Happy Hearts
wild screams as he was driven farther
and farther from the little home. Sew
eral minutes later as I stood near the
apple tree in the orchard, l heard a
discordant hum. The colony Of hor-
nets were returning singly, in pairs
and by the hundreds to their nest
And now, down in the meadow the
nest of the terrible ones hangs low
unmolested always by bird and beast
and human passerby.
The caterpillars spin their dense
webs among the limbs Of the old ap-
pie tree and rob 1t Of its blossomy
promise of fruitage. for
Happy Heart-the singer-has mol
returned.

FIGHTING SNOW.
Methods of Northern Railways In Re.
moving This Obstruction.


moving This Obstruction.
The first big tie-up came with q
heavy fall of snow December $40, says
the World today. The Great Northern
and 500 had the most trouble. The
lines were cleared up. and were In
fairly good running order. Then came
the fall in temperature and a fall OF
snow that stunned the 500 line COM
pletely and tied up things on the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific so that
sleepless nights were spent by mag
mates and officials. This was on De-
cember IL. The 500 line, Ken
mare branch, cutting the Red River
valley, and part Of the line from the
eastern part of the state, were showed
in. This line was opened February I.
In two solid months not a train passed
over it. Rotaries worked against the
SHOWS from the Kenmare and Thief
river ends, but 1t was like fighting iron
with glass.
Then President Hill grew busy. He
heard that his Rocky h Ountain divf-
sions were blocked as badly as his Da-
kota lines. Papers were telling the
people that passenger trains from the
coast were held for hours and some
times days before drifts. Traffic was
paralyzed. So Mr.. Hill hied himself to
New York. Going from one rotary
constructor to the other he found no
chance to get new ones built In time
to fight drift this winter.
Hundreds Of passengers stalled by
snow were being fed at hotels along
the road at company expense. 1t was
costing thousands.
Rotaries must be had at any cost.
Finally Mr.. Hill located some rotaries
en- route to the Erie to New York.
They were to go to a German railroad.
Then wires got hot with bidding. FL
nally Mr.. Hill secured the German
companys consent to sell the machines
on condition that others were built for
the company later. And the plows
were rushed to Dakota and the Da-
kota piows to the Rockies. Then ali
available Iaborers were rushed to Da-
kota and the battle began on both
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific, the 500 giving up In desperation
aftsr- exhausting every available
means.

6G In Mexico all vehicles, be they
handcart, automobile. or anything pc
tween, must carry light at nlgn.'
This rule of law is rigidly enforced.
Even the drivers Of the poor little
burro or mule carts, on their two
wheels, must carry a light. So, rath-
er than buy lanterns, which cost
money, they take dip candle, and
wrapping 1t in a bit of newspaper to
shield it from the wind, carry 1t In
their left hand as they drive along
home from work after evening has
fallen. The effect is striking, as the
light, falling strongly on the Indian
driver, throws the face Of the man in
to strong relief against the darkness

place saw a chance to even up with
my tormenter for the slashing he had
given me. Mr.. Ringmaster didn't
know what was coming and 1t seemed
like he was trying to pay me up that
night for all the feeling the people had
expressed against his sanity uncle. SO
you'll understand what follows. I'll
explain that the ringmaster didn't get
up the jokes in those days; he was
simply to follow the clowns lead. His
part was very easy, and could be pre-
pared without any previous study. BY
and by my time came and / fired an
old conundrum at him which every
schoolboy in the land has heard over
and over again:
"'Say Mr. Smith. did you ever see
me jump?'
"No, I never saw you jump. Can
you jump high?'
"That don't express it. Why, can
lump as high as that 200 foot centre
pole there'
Impossible! I'll bet you 500
against a nickel that you can't do it,
he says.
"The alleged money is put up into
the hands of a general utility man and
then 1 jump a foot or two in the air.
The ringmaster in great glee demands
his money, but I tell the stakeholder
to hold onto 1t until we see how high
the pole is going to jump. That's the
end Of the gag, but on this occasion,
in order to get my revenge, introduc-
ed this one:
"'Mr. Smith, did you ever hear about
me jumping with your uncle?'
why, no. Did you ever jump with
my uncle?'
"'Yes, did that

What a Woman Can Do.

An Iowa exchange says Former Rep
resentative Walter Mabrey was holding
a baby with one hand the other day and
reached with the other hand to pick
some object from the floor. The move
ment strained him so that he broke his
wishbone. 1t was evident Walter
doesn't know much about babies. A
woman can grab baby with one hand,
button her husbands collar, make the
bed, dust the furniture, take up the
ashes, put stick of wood in the stove,
wind the clock, pick pin off the floor,
swat fly on the window, and knock
the cat out of the milkpan with the
other hand and never strain muscle.

CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.
Bud Hutcheson Injured in Premature
Blast--Espey Breaks an Arm.

Bud Hutcheson, who is partner to his
father in running long tunnel in the
Twin Butte mine, near Orogrande, mar
rowly escaped death from a premature
explosion of an upper" in the tunnel
Tuesday afternoon about clock. AS
it was the discharge came so close that
his left shoulder and the left side of his
head and face were literally filed with
small particles of rock and sand, and he
was made deaf for sometime and par
TALLY stunned by the awful conclusion.
Mr.. Hutcheson had loaded the uppers
and was giving attention to the lower
holes in the tunnel. Had the discharge
occurred when he was standing erect
it is probable the worst accident pos
sible would have been the result.
DIR. J. D. Shinnick of this place hap
pened to be at the Hutcheson home at
the time of the accident and he looked
after the wants of the injured man.
z. E. Espey Has Arm Broken.
E. E. Espey, owner of the South
Fork mines, was thrown from horse
Saturday morning While on the trail
near the Buffalo Hill placer flume and
sustained fracture to one of the bones
in the left forearm. The injury is a
painful and disagreeable one, disagree
able because he will have no use of the
arm for several weeks, having to carry
it in sling for sometime.
Mr.. Espey was alone at the time o1
the accident, and was going out to his
property. Where the trail goes under
the Buffalo Hill fiume there is bed o.
quick sand, where several horses have
nearly mired down this spring. Wher
Mr.. Espey's horse got into the sand i
made a lunge, and the rider was thrown
off.
The horse was left, and Mr.. Espe,
walked back to town and got DR.. Shin
nick to dress the wound.

MILL
GRINDS AGAIN
Big Plant Again in Operation
After Idle Period of More
Than Two Years.

After an idle period of more than two
years, due to litigation among its own
ers, the mill at the American Eagle
mine on Seigle creek, at point eight
miles east of Elk City, was placed in
operation again on Wednesday of this
week. The mill is under the manage
aent of Pat Brennan and ]. B. Hen.
niger, who have been watchmen at the
property since operations were discon-
tinued, and their connection with the
company adds color to the rumor that
extensive operations will be begun soon,
though both gentlemen have given out
that they have secured operators lease
for four months for the purpose of mill
ing the ore that is now on the dump.
Both batteries, consisting of five
stamps each, are working.
A veil of mystery surrounds the m=
tentions of the new owners of the rich
American Eagle mine, and though a
number of important announcements
have been made of late, all of those
announcements have been found to be
only rumors. No doubt some of those
rumors came from people in position
to speak with authority. The starting
of the mill this week. is the thing most
tangible the public mind has had to
work on, and it is taken to mean that
1t is the beginning of another lively
period on Seigle creek. Since the mill
closed down, and within the past few
months, Brennan, Henniger and others
who were in the employ of the company
when they operated before have done a
great deal of locating on nearby ground.
Ed. O'Shea, of Spokane, representing
one faction of the stockholders, and as
trustee for the creditors, foreclosed or
a mortgage on the property on March
8. 1t was expected that operations in
the mine would begin shortly after that
date, but the death of Denny Clark, the
moving spirit among the new owners,
delayed the working out of the plans
that had been made.

BRUIN HAD LOTS OF FUN.
Run Things to Suit Himself at Cabin
and Has the Boss Up a Tree.

A brown bear that made a call at the
Columbia cabin last week during the
absence of the owners had lots Of fun,
and demonstrated that his kind can be
worse vandals than 16-year-old boys
when they start out to win the honors.
Bruin didn't leave anything worth
while remembering, and before he got
through everything was topsy-turvy,
and the place looked like it had been
through California earthquake. There
was nothing too small to claim the visit
or's attention. He had just awakened
from his long winters nap, and he felt
like doing something and went ahead
and did it without method or ceremony.
He finished the job and was just ready
to leave Thursday evening when Charley
Svenson, one of the owners, arrived on
the scene. Charley was inside the
cabin before he was aware of the pres
ence of the stranger, and both tried to
get through the door at one and the
same time. The occasion lacked the
spirit of "After you, my dear Alfonso.
There are indications that bruin ex-
tended an invitation to the landlord 10
come over and bunk with him, and
rumor has it that Charley said he would
rather "stay to home" and hang up in
a small tree for awhile. 1t has beer
Charley's custom never to take up with
strangers on such short notice.

PEASLEY CREEK STRIKE.
Rich Findings Made Near Harpster By
Crdngeville Men.

1t appears the rich strike reported to
have been made on Peasley creek two
weeks ago has turned out to be the real
thing, as the following from last weeks
Grangeville Free Press will show:
Mayor Fem Batty and Joe Wade left
for their rich quartz claims on Peasley
creek, near the south fork of the Clear
water river. Three of their partners
took in supplies the last of the week
and are now busy developing the claims
Several samples of ore from the prop
erty were taken to Lewiston last week
to be assayed and values running from
81. % to $21.73 were evidenced. A Sc
lected specimen of the ore assayed
$149.33 per ton.
The ledge was discovered about five
weeks ago by A. c. Carpenter and B..
F. Moses, who were prospecting In that
vicinity. The news of the find was
quieted until several claims and water
right could be located. The ledge, it is
said, is 100 feet wide and has been
traced for a distance of three and one
half miles. Parties who are we'll in
formed upon the subject say that if the
property proves as rich as the assays
indicate one of the richest districts in
the northwest has been discovered.
Messrs. Fred White, Fem Batty, James
Hartman, Joe Wade, A. C. Carpenter
and B. F. Moses own the property upon
which the strike was made.

that they are working ID men and have
two shifts employed, using water night
and day. More men are wanted and
good wages are being offered by the
company

$4,000 ON TRAIL
AND THE ROAD
That is the Amount Forest Re-
serve Gives Good Road
Movement.

The report that appeared in Mining
News last week, that the forest reserve
had given $4,000 toward the improve
ment of the Stites-Elk City wagon road
was fully verified Saturday, when the
following correspondence was received:
Kooskia, Idaho, May 1, 1907
George E. Hamilton,
Publisher Mining News,
Elk City, Idaho.
Dear Sir:-I was greatly interested
and pleased to know through the News
that the people of Elk and vicinity are
acting SO energetically in the road
boosting business.
The Forest Service wishes to help in
the boost, and as evidencing its good
faith in that direction I enclose copy
of letter from the acting forester
which explains itself.
Very truly yours,
F. A. FENN.
Forest Supervisor.
Acting Forester's Letter.
Washington, D. c., April %, 1907.
Mr.. F. A. Fem,
Kooskia, Idaho.
Dear Sir:-In reply to your letter ef
April IL:
l heartily agree with you that the
Forest Service should cooperate with
the state of Idaho in the construction
of the Harpster-Elk City road and Sal
mon river trail. Such cooperation is
highly desirable and should tend to cor
rect the erroneous impression existing
in some parts of Idaho that the Service
does not wish to assist, to the extent o1
its resources, the opening up and de-
velopment of the country within ant
