QUEER LIZARDS.

That certain lizards h;.Ne the power
TO emit i stream of blood from their
ewes has been a tradition Of the south
vest from time out Of mind, but many
scientists have classed it with the jew

snake Raymond Lee Ditmars, curator
Of reptiles in the New York Geological
society. made exhaustive research to
ascertain what foundation In fact, II
any, there is in the tradition Of the
blood spouting lizards. He had nearly
made up his mind that it was purely
mythical when he came upon 4 star
ting demonstration Of iCs truth. He
had received a particularly fine speci-

after photographing it proceeded to
measure it. The result he tells in his
Reptile Book

finally threw the head slightly up
ward. the neck became rigid, the eyes
bulged from the sockets. when there
was 4 distinct sound like that pro
duced if one pressed the tongue
against the roof of the mouth and
forced small quantity Of air forward.
This rasping sound. consuming but the
fraction Of second, was accompanied
by a jet Of blood at great pressure.
"It hit the wall four feet away at
the same level as that Of the reptile.
The duration Of the flow Of blood ap-
peared to be about one and half
seconds, and toward its termination
the force gradually diminished, as
noted by course Of drops down the
wall and along the floor to position
almost under the spot where the rep
tile had been held. The stream Of
blood seemed to be as fine as horse
hair and to issue from the eyelid,
which was momentarily much swollen.
For some time after the perform
ance the eyes were tightly closed, and
nothing could induce the lizard to open
them. Within two minutes after it
was placed on the ground the protrud-
ing aspect Of the eyeballs and the
swelling Of the eyelids had disap-
pea7ed.
Most surprising was the amount Of
blood expended. The wall and floor
showed q course Of thickly sprinkled
spots about one-eighth Of an inch in
diameter. There were 103 Of these
spots. s."-Philadelph North American.

TALLOW SALvORS.
Che Men Who Skim Grease or the
Sea at Launching Time.

Sea at Launching Time.
One Of the most anxious moments for
battleship builders arrives when 4 new
vessel is launched. And, by the way Of
compensation, this is the time when
the tallow salyorS are joyous.
The day fixed for the ceremony Of
launching is reached, and. as usually
happens when 4 ,attleship is to be
launched, Il big crowd assemble The
battleShip rests on "slipwass," down
which she will glide from the dock
yard into the water. The only thing
that prevents the ship from sliding in
to the water before the proper time IS
the dog shores"-large pieces Of wood
that keep in position the cradle upon
which the battleship rests. When the
cord that releases the dog shores is
cut the battleship glides down the slip
ways into the water amid the cheers
Of the spectators and the playing Of
the band
The slipways have to be made as
smooth and as slippery as it is pos
sible to make them, SO that nothing
shall prevent The battleship from Gid
Ing into the water safely. 1t is the
greasy substance with which these
slipways are covered that calls forth
the JOY Of the tallow salvors.
Since the slightest mishap at the
launching would almost certainly prove
to be Il very costly matter, no pains
are spared to insure that everything.
including the ship, goes smoothly, and
the greasing Of the slipways is prop
erly regarded as an important task.
The material used in the process Is
generally tallow mixed with linseed oil
or soft soap, and this is smeared on to
the ways to thickness Of about two
inches. Every inch Of the ways must
be covered carefully, and host Of
men are employed in the work. First
of all the tallow is spread on with
trowels, so as to give smooth and
fat surface, and then the soft soap
or linseed Oil is poured on top. Be-
tween one and one and half tons
Of the mixture is used In the case Of
q battleship, and the cost Of launch
ing amounts to coed sum, something
like $500 or Fl, 1000.
The tallow salvors get ready to reap
the harvest.
Crowding the water just where the
ship is to be launched will be seen a
number Of small rowing boats belong
ing to the tallow salvors. AS the yes
sci glides into the water the tallow
which has clung to the keel and bot
tom plates from the ways becomes
loosened and floats 10 the waters sur
face in great masses.
Then the tallow salvors swarm
around Barred to the shoulder, they
reach over the sides of their boats
and proceed to gather il as much Of
the floating tallow as they can. Some
of them even have small hand nets
to help them, but in any case it Is only
q question Of few minutes before
the boats are covered, both inside and
out, With the slippery, oily mixture,
while in the center small heaps Of
fat gradually arise No ordinary per
son could remain in the boats. but the
ta!low salvors are not at all particular.
They row off with their loads and
dispose Of them to the local sep
makers. Sometimes as much as E2 or
s3 can be made by a very agile tallow

NEWH0USE TUNNEL TO
BE PUSHED INTO GlLPIN

Denver, May 2S.-An agreement was en-
tered into in this city yesterday between
the company owning the Newhouse tun-
mel and representatives of more than 800
properties adjacent thereto extending
from Idaho Springs to Central City,
whereby the tunnel. now 1910 feet In
length, will be extended into Gilpin coun-
ty, where is located the oldest and one
of the richest gold mining camps in Colo
RADIO. and the district drained of water.
This will permit of the reopening of
many valuable mines that have long since
abandoned operations because of inability
TO handle the water question. The two
hills which the tunnel will penetrate have
already produced more than $55000, 900 in
metal. With the revival of activity there,
more than 5000 men will be given employ
ment in the mines. Work will begin with
in q month.

REACHING OUT FOR ORE
IN AMERICAN FORK LEASE

". 5. Cooke. the Oldtime Salt Lake
printer who now makes his home in Cali

other interests in Utah still is over from
the coast on one of his periodical trips
Last fall Mr.. Cooke gave a lease to Provo
parties on his Sierra property on Miller
hill, in American Fork canyon, and dur
ing the winter. he states, work in a tun-
mel has been diligently prosecuted.
While an ore body has not yet been
encountered" said Mr.. Cooke yesterday,
occasional spots of galena have been
making their appearance of late, and this
leads TO the conclusion that ore will be
encountered before long, while il may
happen at any minute. You cannot tell
much about what is going to happen in
that formation until it does happen. The
ground adjoins property from which the
Ting brothers have been taking out
fortune, and not many hundreds of feet
away from the face of the tunnel that
is being driven By the leasers in the Sierra
property. either 1t looks as though the
boys could not miss it. and / am glad
of il, as they fully deserve anything that
may come to them as a result of the
work they have done and are still do
ing"
1t is said the Tying brothers now have
more than 200 sacks of rich ore piled up
at American Fork waiting for favorable
market. and that they are still mining and
sacking large quantities of ore at the
property.

One of the stories told was that n
big body of identically the same char
acter of ore as that developed in the
Colorado had been uncovered and that
the mine was closed down until those
who knew conditions could load up
with the stock. Another was that the
strike was made some time ago and
that the report at the time that the
ore had been covered up was true;
that the fact was established when the
close-down was ordered. At any rate,
there must be some fire where there
is so much smoke, and it is possible

1t is long time since as much ex-
element was caused over reports from
mining property as that occasioped
on the stock exchange yesterday when
the shares of Sioux Consolidated went
soaring. No two reports during the
day tailed, and, as a matter of fact,
all but those absolutely on the inside
are no wiser than they were when
the stock was being bought and sold
right and left and in quantities thar
left the impression that something in
the way of sensational disclosures
must have been made in the cOmpa-
ny's property.
TO the dozens of inquiries as 10 what
had happened at the mine, the pTest-
dent OF the company, T. r. Cutler, re-
piled that he understood that a ia
VOrable change had taken place in the
bottom of the shaft workings. Super
intendSnt a. N Holloway came up
from the south during the morning,
and he declared emphatically that no
strike had been made in the property.
An accident TO the compressor on
Wednesday had necessitated a close
down for repairs. and that fact, he
thought, might have started the re-
port that a strike had been made and
the consequent rush to get in on the
stock. He declared that he was not
going TO stand for a strike story

GOLD ORE FROM
JEFFERSON CON.
Mine Within Few Miles of This
City Is Now Shipping Fine
Rock to Market.

f. a. Hook of the jefferson Con-
solidated company which is operating
within plain sight of this city, be-
tween the mouths of Little and Big
Cottonwood canyons, stated yesterday
that shipments from the property
were inaugurated a few DAYS ago.
When teams commenced hauling ore TO
the sampler at Sandy
we nave opened the gold vein for
merry discovered and worked near the
surface by the New State company
rev years ago, in our l, 40O-foot deep
tunnel" said Mr.. Hook. land splen-
dld ore bodies are now being developed
there. l cannot say Just how the ore
is going 10 average until we have had
settlement for the first lot, but I do
know that much of the rock. accord
ing TO mine sampling, carries as high
as twenty-five ounces gold per ton, The
New State ground, you know, is now a
portion of the estate of the CONSOLE
dated Jefferson company, and in addi-
lon 10 the gold-bearing ledge, which
IS big and strong one, on the tunnel
level there Is also a vein CARRYING fine
values in copper as we'll as gold. This
vein mas not yet been reached bv the
long tunnel, but when it is tapped it
should add materially TO the value
and extent of the ore bodies of the
mine"
The Consolidated jefferson company
mas spent great deal of money in the
equipment and development of its
property, and the management now
considers that the days of its trials
and tribulatiOns are at an end and
that the money spent will soon begin
to come back in the shape of divi-
dends. The mine is distant from here
less than fifteen miles.
