sC0DD'' LEASE ON ST. IVES
IMPROVING WITH DEPTH

A. A. Codd, president and manager
Of the st. Ives Leasing company re-
ports that the main working shaft on
the "Codd" Lease on the st. Ives
claim, Goldfeld, is down 425 feet, ana
that the formation is changing into a
hard quartz, and he fully believes that
they are near the ledge which contains
the high grade ore, and that it is the
same ledge from which the rich ore was
taken on the 1O0-foot level. Murphy
4 Marthaler have the contract for
sinking the shaft, and they are making
rapid progress
The "Codd' lease on the st. Ives
claim was steady shipper last year
for sometime, and it is fully believed,
that, when the 5O0-foot level is reached
and some development work done al
that point, the lease will become q regu'
lar shipper again.

DUCK-sTALKING STEERS.

A man in Corcoran is given credit by a newspaper correspondent for "devising" the scheme of hunting geese and ducks with a trained steer The man in Corcoran did not nit up on" this unique scheme, as alleged, for it was in use on the San Joaquin marshes forty years ago. The stalk ing steer was trained to graze slow ly toward a flock of wild fowl, the hunter walking beside him out of sight of the birds. When within range, the market hunter rested an 8-bore gun over the steers back and blazed away with two or three ounces of shot, and he wanted only one crack at the game to make a days work for himself in gathering and market ing the spoil If the story from Cor coran is correct and the owner of the trained steer brought in 69 birds as the result of one evenings shoot, the game warden of that district had bet ter get busy.
