POrcupines Injuring Forest

SAN FRANCISCO, March 30.-Rc
ports from Bishop, Inyo county, Cali
fornia, indicate that porcupines are scr-
iously damaging the lodge pole Pine
forests Of the eastern slope of tho
Sierras. Practically the entire area of
the Inyo National forest has been af-
fected to some extent. In many local
tiles the damaged trees aggregate rs
high as 25 per cent of the total stand.
While these areas are not large, it is
evident that if something is not done
to curb the attack, much of the timber
in that section will be killed.
The porcupne feeds to large en-
tent during the winter months upon tho
inner bark of the pine. To secure this
he travels about upon the snow, anil
completely grdles the trees just above
the snow line. OF course, this results
in the death of the tree. The damage
would not be so serious but for the fact
that the porcupine seldom makes two
meals off of the same tree, but prefers
to visit several trees in the course of
night. Since its habits are nocturnal,
hunting this animal is very difficult.

CHAFEY LEASE
LOOKS GOOD
Correspondent writes Of the Big -Four
Consolidated Leasing Company
In Barber Canyon

A correspondent writing to the
Tribune from Barber Canyon, in the
Chafey district, gives an interesting ac-
count of the Big Consolidated lease,
on the Big mining claim, owned by
Mike Derich, an old Manhattan operat-
or. The leasers on the property COM
prise a number of Chafeyites and one
Lovelocker, Fred Lampe, who is quite
well known locally.
The main working shaft on the prop
erty is down rs feet and shows four
feet of $40 ore, which will be treated
at the new Chafey Mining & Milling
Co.'S plant. The drift on the 50-foot
level is all in this same ore body,
which appears to be very extensive
shoot. The intention of sinking to tho
l0O-foot level is the plan mapped out
which will give big tonnage of stop
ing ore. The early and initial work
had only a 6inch streak of galena and
gold bearing ore in sight but the deep
er work has opened up an ore body of
rich values.

AGAINST WINGFIELD EFT Al

A suit for 100000 as damages has
been filed at Goldfeld by d. Mae
kenzie g. Co. against the Goldfeld Mo
hawk Mining Co. and George Wing
field and James II. Davis.

The Mackenzie company alleges that
it was not rightly concerned in the
former sut and that the Seizure of its
assets, since released, under an attach

amounting to $l,000,000 a year.
The Goldfeld Mohawk is sued for
100000 and Wingfield and Davis, who
were its bondsmen in the former suit
for 100000.

test was pulled off in Lovelock last

miles over mountain road, in an hour
an twenty-five minutes. thereby win
ming a substantial bet that the dis
tance could not be covered by the ma
chine in less than an hour and thirty
seven minutes.
The wager in question arose over a
discussion of the possibilities of the
Schacht. In recent trip from the
district Mr.. Mcintosh covered the dis
tance in an hour and thirty seven min
utes, and when this information was
scattered about the town there were
many auto enthusiasts who freely
stated, that without casting insinua-
tions on the truth of the statement,
yet they did not believe the machine
could cover the distance from Lovelock
to Vernon in that time, and E. J. Gay
nor, voicing the sentiment in this re-
spect stated that there were num-
ber of the boys who were convinced
on the matter to the extent of being
willing to wager substantial bet, that
1t was impossible.
Joslyn and Mcintosh were game and
called all bets, and forthwith the race
against time was arranged. Tuesday
morning the Schacht, accompanied by
Richard Keyworth, in the Packard, and
Bert Bailey in the Franklin, went out
to Vernon, and the start Of the race
was made at two minutes past two.

NEW TORPEDO TRAILS
SOUND OF THE ENEMY

London.--A wonderful torpedo.
which picks up sound and tracks it
down, is reported to be in the hands
of the British admiralty. by whom it
will be subjected soon to exhaustive
trials.
THE torpedo with a brain" as the
new weapon has been called, is fitted
with a delicate mechanism, which is
controlled by microphone attached
to the torpedo's rudders.
When the microphone picks up a
sound it defects the rudders in such
a manner as to guide the torpedo
straight to the source of the sound
waves. Properly aimed, the invent
ors claim. the torpedo will pick ur
unfailingly the noise made by the pro-
pellers OF an enemy's vessel.
