BALTIMORE CLIMs
 ENCOURAGE OWNERS
rrom "Wednesday. D.llyl

'lTOfU N'untNbdN N ballNl
 Among the promising properties of the Senator section of the IIassayam. pa district under development may he mentioned the Baltimore group of claims, recently taken over under bond by W. F. Fry. The property was for. merly known as the Enoch Williams group.
 The new shaft is now down 3j feet with from three to five feet or ore in the bottom. sinking K being pushed and the new owner has under consider ation the sinking of second shaft on n parallel vein. He made the second payment to Lester Jackson, one of the former owners, n few days ago. Fry is confident of opening one of the largest gold properties in the Iiassa. yampa district.
 The ledge under development was discovered several years ago by Enoch Williams while engaged in placer min. ing. The ledge Is what is known as n wet one. Water flows out of the sur. face the entire year. Williams was working some very rich placer ground when he accidentally discovered the ledge. He banned some of the crop. pings and found rich gold prospect. He sunk a shaft and extracted several hundred tons of ore that gave returns of sl5 to the ton treated by the crude arastra process. He was forced to cease sinking on account of the great inflow of water, not being possessed of sufficient means to equip the shaft with hoisting and pumping machinery Fry is now preparing to install n pump, as the water has increased so fast in the last few feet sunk as to seriously impede sinking.
 The group is located eight miles south of this city near the Prescott and Senator stage road. The locations cover several veins associated with the granite and syenite ocntact, SO well known to miners and prospectors of the district. One of the claims is located over promising ledge in a schist intrusion in the syenite. Some very high grade gold ore has been taken from this vein.
 Lester Jackson of this city took over the property under bond from Enoch Williams, the discoverer, sever al months ago. After proving one of the rich ledges at his own expense, his rights were purchased by Fry. Fry started operations on his own account and is so well pleased with the out look that he has already made the second payment of the purchase price.

BROUGHT IN MONSTER CRAB.
Japanese Fisherman Has Struggle
with Ocean LeViathan.

Here is rather a startling tale of
huge crab told in the demure language
of japanese newspaper: IN the har-
Dor of Shimidzu great haul OF fish
is daily experienced since the return
of the new year, to the delight Of the
fishermen. Fish is sold so cheaply
that there is large crowd waiting at
the seashore struggling to be the fore
most to buy. Some of the eager buy
ers sail off to purchase fish before the
fishermen's junks arrive from sea
ward. Among these competitive pur.
chasers was one named Kato, who
sailed out by himself in a small boat.
AS he was steering his way onward
he espied at a distance some dark
object.
"Kato did not take any notice of 1t
at first, but as it showed the upper
half of its bulk above the water he
was convinced that 1t was a crab OF
really monstrous size The man took
fright and sailed toward the shore
with all his might and main. The
crab, however, appeared to be bent on
fight with the man and swan after
the boat with incredulous rapidity.
The huge crustacean soon overlook
the boat and putting one of its bony
arms over the side threatened to over
turn it.
"Kato thought his fate was now
sealed and fought gallantly with the
crab, which was more than once on
the point of upsetting the boat. After
a long and fierce battle the crab was
vanquished and captured. Kato
brought it ashore and showed 1t to
all his astonished friends. Its arms
were over IL feet in length and the
size of it's shell is about five feet in
diameter. Its weight is 20 kan" u6C
pounds).
