Mnnn aIindnesa In Horses.

1t is said that "moon blindness" in a
horse is caused by wolf teeth"-two
small surplus teeth just in front of the
first upper premolars, one on each
side of the upper jaw. An authority
says: 1.-The wolf teeth do not cause
eye disease or any other harm and usu-
ally are not discovered until the eye
disease appears. The eye trouble is
periodic ophthalmia' (moon blindness).
which is hereditary and incurable.
Thousands upon thousands Of horses
suffer from this eye disease. yet have
not wolf tooth in their heads. The
important matter to remember in con-
nection with periodic ophthalmia is not
the significance of the wolf TOOTH but
the necessity and importance of re-
jecting from breeding operations all
afflicted with periodic ophthalmia, or
cataract, which results from repeated
attacks

told in Mrs. Henry w. Coles "A
Lady's Tour Around Monte Rosa,

been ruffied by the unconscious revela'

career in the pulpit. When he was
first admitted to holy orders he was
appointed curate in a rural Scotch dis

his office of clergyman the family did

PAST WEEK BUSY
one AT RAWHlDE
MUCH PROGRESS IN THE WAY
OF DEVELOPMENT AND
STRIKES.


The week that has just passed has
been another wonder of seven days in
the progress Of Rawhide in the way
of development and strikes. In the
matter Of development, the mines are
gaining in depth every day, and the
leasers and property owners are do
ing their utmost to prove that the
success of the camp lies in deep min
ing. In the way of prospecting, new
strikes are made every day, most o.
which have a great bearing on the
future of Rawhide. The strikes that
go into the picture values cause great
excitement and are good things for
the leasers, for they mean early ship
ments of ore. and a consequent quick
return of cash to the leaser.
Outside of the big finds on the
hills there were two strikes during
the week which rank with the most
important developments that have
been made in the camp since the
name of Rawhide was first blazoned
on the world of mining These weis
the strikes made on the Rawhide
Northern by Tex Rickard, and anoth-
er ON the Rawhide Syndicate Mines
Company's property in Regent.
The Regent strike has a bearing
on the fortunes of the camp for the
reason that it demonstrates the fact
that we have wider area of ort
| than was at first predicted. On tbs
Gar lease of the Rawhide Syndicate
the strike amounts to eight feet o
shipping ore, and that it will go dowl
there is no doubt, for the ledg'
whicsh was uncovered is a bold an
well defined one, and can be, and ha
been traced for at least 1000 feet.
