In the early years OF the nineteenth

skirts OF their gowns were OF un.

shorter, either by being 1ooped up

GROVE WOLVES FROM NEW
YORK.


OF Ccunties-
Wolf drives were held In this sec
'son HISS than a century ago. To the
Herald DR.. Gates writes the follow Ing
interesting account Of famous drive
in Tioga county. New YORK:
In The year OF our Lord iSsS. the
wolves then running in this county
became so numerous and so pcs,ilsnt
that the towns Of Richsord. Berkshire.
Candor. Union and l.isle held a con-
ference over the question and a. tina,
meeting it was resolved to apposn,
two men In each town TO act as CON-
mit;ee to drive the wolves beyond the
SusquehaEna river.
l can give the names Of only two
men on that committee, these being
Anthony NJ. Tyler OF this town and
Horace Gates OF the town OF Union,
there being no town of Maine then. In
addition to the committee other men.
and large boys joined the drive The
onttit for each man was dog, II he
had one, a gun and plenty of amnlun.-
sion and large COW bell Nights they
stood on guard. ringing the COW bells
and shooting OF their guns SO the
wolves would not 60 back.
The march commenced about half
way between Hartford Mills and Rich
ford and was formed east toward
Hunts Corners and west toward Stat
erville. The signal to march south
was the firing OF a gun at North
Richford then every man on the
line that had gun fred 1t and every
one rang his COW bell At night dry
trees were set on fire SO the men could
warm themselves and wild beasts
would keep back. II must have been
after the second Tuesday In February.
for that was town meeting day at that
time.
Every man had his knapsack on his
back full of good victuals and could
replenish 1t at almost any house he
came to.
The order OF march was like a halt
moon, the ends OF each line ahead OF
the centre. Every day new volunteers
Joined In the march
Quite likely some old readers of this
story can remember how long Pennsyl
vania held grudee against New York

the deed conveying full title to Inc group Co Mir. TilIinghast was
 placed or record in the county
 recorders office in Prescott last
 week MT. Tillinghast during a
 recent visit to Prescott declared
 the Monica mine to be equal in
 value to any of the larger gold

 Mohave Miner: On the crosscut from the east drift, on the 100 level of the Enterprise mine, a great body of ore is said to have been cut. A large part of the ore is of shipping grade, while the bal ance can be dressed up to a high grade by concentration. The ore carries gold, silver, copper and lead. On the 200-foot level good ore has been encountered, but for the present no work is being done on the level. Major w. A. Mensch, who is experimenting the develop ment, is confident that he has one of the greatest properties in the county.
 Yuma Sum-: R. K. Humphreys and Charles H. Fay, who control the North Star mining property, have taken an option on the Rattlesnake and Extension quartz claims and the Mucho Bueno placer claim, the papers being filed yesterday. The contract price is $20,005, five dollars being paid down and the rest arranged in pay ments as follows: $1 800 on April "A, 1908; $3,500 on October 24, 1908; 5000 on February A, 1909; $5,000 on June "A, 1909. $5,OOO on October "A, 1909. The property is situated in the King of Arizona district, and lies between the North Star mines and the Norton Mathis claims. E. B. Haynes, George Downey and D. R. Ortega are the owners of the claims.

MINING NEWS.

pushing their work on the old Pueblo mines Some very fine ore has been laid on the dumps and
 the sinking on the deep shaft con- tinues. Judge F. w. Pickett, man. ager in charge, feels quite elated over the development and is push ing the work both night and day.
 Miner x Stockman: At the Chesterfield property, in Pima dis trict, at the bottom of the incline shaft 200 feet deep they are drift. ing both ways on the vein. East drift in about F feet, vein IS to p inches wide, west drift in about II feet, vein same as in east drift. An assay made of the ore gave g per cent lead, 30 dollars in silver and three dollars in gold. Work is being pushed ahead with night and day shifts.
 Miner and Stockman: The Hell vetia Mining Company have made a strike of good copper ore in the drift on the 30O-foot level of the Copper World mine. The body is some IA to 20 feet wide and aver ages fairly we'll all through in cop per with some silver and gold. This company have their usual amount of men at work and are pushing ahead steadily. The prop erty is looking better than for some time past.
 Yuma Enterprise: One of the most phenomenal strikes ever made in the Crescent district was that of Rev. Norman B. Harris. when ore returning, it is reported, an assay value of $20,549. 40 a ton was en- countered on the Turquoise claim, located about one mile south of the camp. The button produced from the assay is as large as the head of an ordinary collar button. A num- Der of assays of the ledge matter gave returns as high as $500 and $40O a ton, 1t is stated
 Mohave Miner: It is reported in Kingman that J. D. Jordan and Fred w. Morrison have gone to Los Angeles to close up a deal for the Bohemian group of mines, near the old Copper World, twelve miles east of Yucca, to Jan Kube- lik, the great impresario, who is now playing date in Los Angeles. Should the deal be consummated work will be started up on the property at an early date. The mines are situated in a belt of limestone and shale and show out crops of good grade copper.
 International American: With eight furnaces in operation at the | Copper Queen smelter, and five at the Calumet x Arizona, the smelter situation in Douglas is again nor- nal. When the slump came, the Copper Queen was operating nine furnaces, and the c. & A. four, totaling the same now in commis- sion-thirteen in all. In the mean time the capacity of the c. < A. furnaces has been doubled to 200 tons per day, each. As the capaci- ty of the eight Copper Queen fur naces is 4000 tons, the total capaci- ty of all thirteen now in opera tion | in Douglas is 5000 tons per day | exceeding by 500 tons per day any previous capacity in the history of the city.
