James Montgomery, the old gentle
man now caretaker of tie Sinker Tun-
mel property, came over from that lone
ly place today, to order supplies He
took back with him some meat which
he Will load with strychnine to poison
coyotes and wildcats which he says are
getting quite too plentiful over at the
tunnel. Whenever will that great un-
dertaking be started again toward com
pletion? Is the company after expend-
ing half million dollars going to let it
continue to lie idle until some genius
appears to tell them how to safely tap
the great body of water above them,

watch the property and poison coyotes
and bobcats?
Gardner Brothers have been having
very bad luck recently in the loss of
livery and freight horses. They have
recently lost three valuable horses and
one large mule and have several more
disabled. Some kind of foot disease
seems to attack the stock whenever
slightly scratched or injured and the
hoof aud ankle begins to rot and grows
worse until the animal dies. They have
several head now laid up, some of them
however, getting we'll. 1t is thought
that the stock got poisoned on the
muddy roads, as there have been some
other freighters' horses similarly affect
ed. Although aside from one horse of
Milt McKinney's dying at Dewey we
have heard OF no other losses.
