The Clever Weaver Bird.

An interesting bird is the "weay-
err" 1t seems to be fond Of max
ing enormous nests merely for the
purpose Of exercise in the art Of
construction. Supply these bird,
with strings and straw, and they
will use them up rapidly, and their
fabric is woven with a perfectness
that is astonishing. In some coun-
tries IT is the custom Of the weaver
birds to colombo and build one big
fiat topped platform, two or three
yards across, which is SO admirably
put together as to shed the rain as
well as any roof could do. Under
this roof they make individual peck
ct shaped nests, bringing up under
this unique structure large and
interesting family of little weavers.
There is another bird, called the
tailor" which, instead of weaving
It's nest, incloses it in big leaves and
stitches the latter together with
plant fibers, just as one would sew a
piece Of cloth.

Colorado River Dredging Company
 Suspends.

About year ago a man by the
 name of H. J. Meyer organized com.
 papy for the purpose of building big
 dredger to work what was represented
 as the rich placer bars of the Colorado
 river. This dredger was built by the
 Byron Jackson Iron Works, of San Francisco, at a cost of more than l0O,- 0OOS. All the machinery was hauled to the river from Chloride. The plant was put in commission about the first of August, but although the dredger was moved from bar to bar it failed to find one profitable enough to work. The gold of the Colorado river sands is very light 1akey material, and hard to save, and so far as known only few of the bars far up the river have shown workable values.
 During the early days of the con- pany great secrecy was maintained by the promoters, some even going so far as to assume other than their right names. Mayors and his fellow pro- moters would give out nothing re- garding the intention of the company until the first machinery was placed on the ground. A glowing report from a supposedly well known Eng fish expert was exi bited as the basis for the extensive plant and the heavy financial backing demanded by the company. Wm. Bramhall, an attor- ney of Minneapolis, perfected the organization of the company, while another well known lawyer and phi lanthropist, John w. Alexander, of Minneapolis, financed the company. Now, after spending more than 20O.- OOO$ the management has concluded that there is not pay dirt in the can yons of Colorado river and have sus- pended operations permantly.
 Meyers, who put the proposition up to the company originally, was de- posed from management of affairs some time ago and is now said to be in the east organizing another dredging to work placer bars near the old Pot Holes, in Yuma county, and also bars along the Colorado river near Bulls Head, in Mohave county.
 The loss will be heavily felt among the farming community of Minnesota, in the shares of the cor poration being made at the personal of Judge Arctander.
