CHAPTER XII.

LEN Isl Elk nau SalQ lndt TIC
4 Judge would not dare to dis
Y obey the mandates Of the cir
~ cult court Of appeals, but he
was wrong. Application was made for
orders directing the enforcement OF
the writs, steps which would have re-
stored possession Of the Midas to its
owners as well as possession Of the
treasure in bank, but Stillman refused
to grant them.
Wheaton called a meeting Of the
Swedes and their attorneys, advising
junction Of forces. Dextry, who had
returned from the mountains, was
present. When they had finished their
discussion, he said:
at seems like can always fight bet
ter when / know what the other fel
ler's game is. I'm going to spy on
that outfit"
"We've had detectives at work for
weeks" said the lawyer for the Scan
dinavisns, "but they can't find out
anything we don't know already"
De1try said no more, but that night
found him busied in the building ad-
Joining the one wherein Mcnamara had
his office. He had rented back room
on the top floor. and with the help Of
his partner sawed through the ceiling
into the loft and found his way thence
to the roof through hatchway. For
tunately, there was but little space be-
tween the two buildings, and further
more each boasted the square fronts
common In mining camps, which pro-
jected high enough to prevent observa'
ton from across the way. Thus he
was enabled. without discovery, to gain
the roof adjoining and to cut through
into the loft He crept cautiously In
through the opening and out upon
door of joists sealed on the lower side.
then lit a candle, and locating Nc
Namara's Office, cut peephole 80 that
by lying fat on the tlmbers he could
observe a considerable portion Of the
room beneath. Here, early the follow
Ing morning. he camped with the pa
tience Of an Indian, emerging In the
still Of that night stiff. hungry and
atrociously cross. Meanwhile. there
had been another meeting Of the mine
owners, and it had been decided to
send Wheaton, properly armed with
afidavits and transcripts Of certain
court records, back to San Francisco
on the return trip Of the Santa Maria,
which had arrived in port. He was to
institute proceedings for contempt of
court, and it was hoped that by ex-
traordinary effort he could gain quick
action.
At daybreak Dextry returned to his
post. and it was midnight before be
crawled from his hiding place to see
the lawyer and Glenister.

At these words the politician appear

conversed softly an instant, while the
impatience OF the crowd grew to
anger. Some one cried:

the rumble at this was not pleasant.
Morehouse raised his hand.

Salt On The Range.

The requirement that all cattle, horses and sheep grazing under ncrmit on the National Forests be giyen salt at frequent intervals, is 2 regulation which has been found to % a long way in protecting the range and conserving the forage crop.
 Experience has shown that the want of salt makes stock restless. If cattle and horses are not SUD- nlied as they need it, they roam and wander, hunting old salting grounds used in previous seasons, trampling the forage plants in- stead of eating them, paving the ground, and otherwise injuring the range. But if their cravings are supplied, they scatter peacefully over the pasture grounds, and feed at their leisure.
 Salt is so necessary to the easy and profitable handling of sheep on the range, that no fiockmaster would think of getting along with out it. If sheep do not receive their usual supply, it is only with great difficulty that they can be held in bounds or kept in camp at night. So far as sheep are con- cerned, no regulation by law is really necessary, because the own CTS, for their own convenience, will salt their focks. But cattle are not herded, and the owners might neglect to salt them, if the regula- tions were not strictly enforced
 Stock on different ranges require varying quantities of salt. Sheep need less on dry range than on green. An average quantity for 1000 head of sheep would be from 1000 to 1,500 pounds each year. For like number of cattle, from 5000 to 10000 pounds year Is re- quired. Horses need less than 
 cattle.
 Old hunters, in the days of the pioneers, knew that deer and buf- falo travelled long distances to lick salt in saline springs. The Blue Licks on Licking river, in Ken lucky, and a similar spring on Elk river, in West Virginia, were fam ous for the herds of deer, buffalo and elk which frequented them The adjacent ground was so deeply tramped that the marks were to be seen many years after the places ceased to be visited by those an imals.
