CRAIG AT CHAFFEY.
SILT Lake Mining Man Very I'avorably
Impressed With Camp.

William J. Craig, who came in from
Nevada yesterday, is OF the opinion
that the camp of Chaffay will turn out
to be one of the best gold producing re-
gions in the Sagebrush state. While
the camp Is classed as a new one, he
says tbs not new at ALL but has been
operated under another name for the
past 30 years.
II saw the famous Black Hole, from
which Mr.. Chafey extracted and
shipped 100000 worth Of gold ore With
in two months after he had revived the
camp. There Is a splendid showing on
this property, but there are as good
indications. IN an ore way. on more
than one place In the camp. And I
know of better mineral showing
there right now than the Black Hole
can boast. The camp is a shipping
proposition from the surface, although
there Is a large tonnage of milling ore
blocked out, The camp looks mighty
good to me, and feel safe in predict
ing that it will make good in a big

DUCKS KILLED BY STORM.

With zoo wild ducks piled about them
and all secured without the expenditure
of one cent for ammunition, the good
people of Hog Island were happy lot
last Saturday morning, says the Eastern
Shore Herald. The night before there
was terrific storm. The wind howled
about the tower of the lighthouse; b
heavy, dense cloud seemingly enveloped
the light, and it literally rained ducks
of the .brant species. The seeming
clouds were immense fiocks of ducks
thousands of them. The upper deck
of the light was covered with the tooth
some birds. 1t was veritable battle
of the birds against the elements.
Attracted and blinded by the lights,
the birds dashed against the sides OF
the big structure, only to fall to the
deck or ground, dead or stunned.
Keeper Doughty and his assistants
gathered $50 on the upper deck, while
the people of the island waited below
and bagged $50 more.
A similar scene was enacted at Hog
Island some seven or eight years ago
when the residents captured hundred.
of ducks and geese in like manner.
Hog Island light is 285 feet high anC
is the most powerful one between Cap,
May and Hatteras.
