it does not yield gold in the horn

promising looking stuff, vet it is

Of the Yellow Aster mine, at Rands-
berg. certainly does not look we'll,
bvt it has produced over s5.OOO.0OC

the Calico district, California,
which looked as though it were

per ton. Much of the silicifed
dacite at Goldfeld, Nevada, that is
worthless is identical with some
that is rich. The dark, green

Many eruptive rocks containing

Died Fighting

Eli Wimovich, a farmer living
near Northport, this week captured
two deer with but single shot.
While hunting he came onto the
two deer, which had recently been
engaged in deadly combat and
whose antlers had become inter-
locked, so that after one had killed
the other by breaking his neck he
himself was held a prisoner and
was easily dispatched by Mr.. Vim
ovich.
Mr.. Wimovich, unable to dis
connect their horns, severed their
heads and brought them into town
and placed them on exhibition at
a saloon, where they attracted
much attention. Each is a FIVE
point Whitehall buck. The one that
was dead had evidently just died,
as his body was still warm.
The skeletons of deer have been
found with antlers interlocked in
this county before, near Chewelah
some 10 years since, but this is a
remarkable prize. having been
caught in action, with their beauti.

Considerable interest has been
aroused throughout the state by
the announcement that a bill is to
he introduced at the coming session
OF the legislature, providing for the
creation of new county Office. to
be known as the "recorder," and
almost without exception those
who have taken trouble to investi-
gate the proposed measure are in
favor of its passage, especially the
county auditors, who are at the
present time laboring under duties
far too great and of a complicated
nature. Several reasons have been
advanced by the auditors for ask
ing for the passage of the law. one
of them being that the new school
code, which is likely to be adopted
next year, provides that the county
auditors shall become accountants
for the school districts in their re-
spective counties, and that such a
course will add much to the work
now being done in that Office. It
is also argued that the work of re-
cording does not properly belong
to the auditors office except in the
smaller counties, where the other
duties of the auditor are not so
heavy. In case the proposed law
goes to final passage it will provide
for the separation of the Office of
the county auditor only in counties
of the first to the thirteenth class,
and will not affect the smaller
counties. Nearly all of the eastern
states have a county recorder
