area. On the river steam or gaso-
line launch will be placed later that

above the great falls to a point nearly
two miles above. The river forms one
side OF the park enclosure and the rim
rock of about 800 feet elevation
forms another side. Within the park
is a rocky elevation that is partly
covered by cedar and other varieties
OF trees and brush that make an ideal
resort for deer. The deer now CON

Three lions were killed near Pist-

lions were tackling the donkeys.
Erasmus seized his gun and ran hard
in the direction indicated. On his
arrival at the spot he found the
lions lying around one of the dom
keys. He fred and killed a big
Noness. The other two jumped up
but he was ready and shot another
(younger) lioness. The young lion
which was left ran behind some
hrushwood. Erasmus first collected
ais donksys and brought them into
safety and then once more carefully
kSpToached the scene of the fight.
Ia order to find out If the two lion
azsss were dead he fred another shot
1t one of them. This disturbed the
surviving lion who thereupon came
forth roaring. Erasmus was again
ready and shot him dead on the spot.
Asked by the Velkesstem correspond

time. Erasmus replied: "Oh, no.

 "The new compressor was started Sunday and the drifts are being car ried north and sopth from the i00 foot level. We are running with a gasoline plant and find that the use of gasoline engines, in skillful hands. is an economy. The noise is run with a sixtv-horse power gasoline engine.
 We are working in a lower car boniferouss limestone, and. in the Opin ion of experts, the indications are decidedly favorable. 4 few hundred feet of drifting will determine the value of the property"
