Have you ever seen a cat catch n

tiger is merely big cat, and she
teaches her cubs almost In the same
way, only not with mice. An East In

kind. An old bull bison had been the
victim. and the tigress had disabled
him by breaking one Of his forelegs

Forest Protection and Management.
conservative management of timber
lands is assured for less than one
fourth Of the United States forested
areas, the part contained in the ma
tional forests and under the admins
tration of the United States forest
service. BY cutting only the mature
trees and protecting the new growth
by keeping out fires the national for
ests will be made to yield indefinitely.
1t cannot be expected that this small
part of the nations forests will sup
ply the demand for future generations,
and the one hope in sight is that
users of wood and lumber manufac-
turers will insure the permanence of
their business by applying the princi-
pies of forestry in the management of
timber lands

Gestures Part of Talk.

There is man who from n very
early age has lived In countries where
Spanish is the almost universal tongue.
From force of this training he speaks
Spanish perfectly. He has not the
slightest trace of an English accent,
and persons who do not know that he
is of American parentage are willing
to believe he is Spanlard, merely
from hearing him talk. He is so per-
fectly biiingual that it shows even in
his gestures. When talking with Eng
lish speaking persons he sits quietly
and does his conversiny with his mouth
alone. Only in case Of making a point
most emphatically does he use ges-
ture. But the moment he drops into
Spanish his every word is accompa-
MED by a movement Of the hands or
arms. 1t IS interesting to watch the
change from the English to the Span
ish side of him. because it comes SO
suddenly. lie really can't speak Span
ish without gesturing. New York Sun.

SAYS TONOPAH IS LlVELlER
THAN FOR MANY MONTHS

ID. O. Trail was here from Tonopaa
squaring up the accounts of the Eagles
drum corps that was here from the sill
yer camp during the Mining Congress.
Mr.. Trail states that Tonopah IS
~livelier than it has been for a long
time. The resumption of leasing on the
Jim Butler ground, and the fact that
several of the leasers are shipping ore,
has given new impetus to the camp,
and Mr.. Trail states that as many, and
possibly more, men are at work IN the
camp now than during the early boom
days.
There are eight leases at active work
on the Jim Butler ground, working from
8 to Is men each, and two more leases
will be started in a few days--as soon
as the work of tearing down the old
Eagles pavilion is completed. One or
the leasers will use the old shaft that
the rear part of the pavilion is built
over. Business in all lines is picking
up, and altogether, the camp presents
a lively appearance.

BOXAX MINE
MAY SOON BE CLOSED DOWN

necessary to construct "a narrow
gauge railroad from Ryan to the de-
posits and figures are now being pre-
pared regarding the probable ex
pense. The route will be along Ash
Meadows Wash with a drop of 1900
feet and it is believed that the total
cost will be somewhere in the neigh
borhood of $500, 900 for the tsirty
miles over which track must be laid.
The line viii pass over a very rough
country Immediately to the east OF
the Furnace Creek valley and will
cross the summit somewhere between
the two connecting points. Mr.. Ryan
now has the whole matter under ad-
yisement and will make a definite de-
cision within the next few weeks.
According to the best information
obtainable, Mr.. Smith has already
given orders for the completion OF the
work. AT the time the spur was con.
structed to the Lila C. mine, borax was
selling in the neighborhood of Z cents
a pound. while it has since declined
to between three and a half and four
cents,

NEVADALGOLD MOUNTAIN
DOING ASSESSMENT WORK

Assessment work has recently been
done on the properties of the Nevada
Gold Mountain Mining company at
Gold Mountain, between the Tokop D
Nevada Empress, and good values have
been exposed. In the shaft on the
Wild Rose. there is about thirty inches
of $40 ore in sight, values being IN
gold. silver and lead. The old shaft
on the Bush was sunk from thirty to
fftv feet. and samples show as high as
$6O. The vein is somewhat broken up,
but has improved during the last work.
An omen cut on the Windsor shows
about eighteen inches Of SIS ore. The
company owns five claims, located IN
very promising territory.
At the annual meeting, which was
held in the Nixon block last Monday
Gen. J. L. Sheehan of San Francisco
was elected president to succeed J. Il
Hasman; J.. B. Goodin of Goldfelf
was elected vice president; c. A. Nc

treasurer; George A. Croll and Arthur

the board of directors. The company
expects to do more work this yeai

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 14.-lt is
very probable that unless there is an
almost immediate advance in the price
of borax, the great Lila G. mine, at
Ryan, Cal, on the Tonopah d Tide
water railroad, will be abandoned in
favor of the more cheaply-mined de-
posits of Mount Blanco, six miles from
Death Valley, at the foot of Furnace
Creek. Although the Lila G. is gener-
alIy credited with being the largest
developed borax mine in the world, 1T
is a demonstrated fact that it costs
a dollar and a half TO mine and de-
liver each ton of ore at the railroad.
Under the present conditions this Is
considered too high a tax and Mr..
John Ryan, general manager of the
ssBoraxo Smith interests, has practic-
ally decided to open up the Mount
Blanche deposits. The latter may be
quarried at trifing expense in almost
inexhaustible quantities and 1t is not
believed that the cost will exceed
fifty cents a ton. In order to handle
the output economically it Will be
