The capercailzie, or "black game bird
Of Norway" Is one Of the largest spe-
cies of game birds In the world, being
very hardy and frequently attaining a
weight exceeding fifteen pounds, but
when the birds are young they are
easy prey Of hawks. The birds are
what are known as rangers" for the
reason that while In quest Of food
they cover a wide expanse Of territory.
During periods Of heavy snowfall they
burrow into the snow and remain until
the storm subsidies before venturing
out again. Their food in winter. con-
sists chiefly Of birch buds. and in sum-
mer they catch mice and other small
animals. They are rated as members
Of the grouse family and in habits are
much like the partridge.-Forest and

CHAPTER XVIII.

Charles Baumgarten sat in his cham
bers enjoying an animated discussion with
his friend, Jephson the great chancery
lawyer. About a week had gone by since
Charles had come home from the circuit
and held that momentous interview with
Mary Dynevor which had been broken in
upon by the subdean. Mary had now
gone, with some friends, to Brighton for
change of air, and Charles was, so to
say, bachelor at large again. The
change from despair to hope had so elated
him that he had somewhat rashly likened
it to Elysium. But now a certain ugly
booking bill for eighty-one pounds, bear
ing Charles acceptance, had been pre-
sented to him for payment.
Charles declined to pay it, on the
ground that he had not accepted it. He
rcpudiated the bill altogether. 1t was
held by that eminent legal firm, Godfrey
Herbert Jephson; the latter of whom
had now come to Pump Court in person,
bringing the bill with him

BARREN LAVA
PROVES RICH

The strike" just over the divide
from Dyke on the west slope of the
Pine Forest group, says the Hum
boldt Star, and the indications are
that a vast section will O O be cov-
cred by location monuments. 1t is
In reality a continuation of the Dyke
porphyry belt, the new" feature be-
ing that the porphyry dykes have
been discovered jutting up through
the light lava overflow in a section
heretofore considered a barren lava
waste.
The discovery was made in this
way: Andy Gambs, who made a
cursory examination of the section
last year, returned a few days ago
from the southern part of the state,
where he encountered a similar for
nation. Remembering the nature
OF the ground, he, in company with
A. w. Ellis, made a trip of investi-
cation and found the situation as
Mr.. Gambs had described. They
made several locations and brought
In samples of the quartz found in the
porphyry dykes. which were tested
and found to pan well in free gold.
Since then a large number of loca-
tons have been made, among the
fortunate first to secur claims be-
ing Ellis & Jackson, Andy Gambs.
Foster G. Darling, B. v. Hurst, Andy
Johnson, Frank ~Belleview, Guy
Bishop and Others. 1t is the con-
census of opinion of these expert
enced operators that some of the
largest and richest veins of the dis
trict will be uncovered on these new
claims. The quartz is a fine grained
jasper quartz commonly called by
prospectors mahogany quartz" and
the gold is very fine. The float and
outcroppings indicate that the ore
bodies will prove to be of good size.
Herman Wunderlich, an expert
enced mining man from the southern
part of the state, made an examina-
tion of this district a short time ago,
with the result that he is now on a
flying visit to Salt Lake City to con-
fer with his associates having in his
possession a short-time option on
the Buckaroo group at a good round
figure. He is expected to return
within a few days accompanied by
prominent mining men of Zion.
Some of the principal properties
of the district are under option to
San Francisco capitalists who are ex-
pected to pay a visit to the camp
soon.
Pine Forest range will be thor
oughly prospected from one end tc
the other this season, and already
come reports of new and rich bodies
of ore uncovered in sections here
tofore untrodden by man.
