DOG PROVED a COWARD
Infatuated Beast Springs From Tree

Claws Him Before It Finally Falls
Dead From Effects of Gurshot.

Proctor, Pa.-To have been knock
ell down by the force OF a falling wild
cat which lie had shot, and then
violently and dangerously attacked by
the wounded animal, was the terrible
experience OF Peter Shugro in the Oc-
donna woods the other night. Though
showing cowardice to the extent OF
running away when his master was
brought to the necessity Of doing per-
sonal combat with the Infatuated
wildcat, yet the sagacity OF Shugro'G
coon dog lent itself to securing the
help which he so badly needed IN or

Shugro could hear the unmisrakahie
sounds Of scraping claws in the hrst
limbs OF the old tree, and he was
quite sure that he could distinguish
the black heap or form which he took
to be Tie raccoon. The dog went
fairly wild with excitement.
Shugro finally concluded to chance
a shot. and the moment the rife
cracked there was yeowl that Shug-
70 recognized as that Of q member OF
The cat tribe. And the next instant
the animal, whatever it was, came
flying through space and landed

What may prove to be arr impor-
tant development has occurred
this week in the Union No. claim
OF the Dexter Consolidated Mining
company under lease to the Man
haitian War Eagle Mining and Mill
ing company of which d. r. Fin
layson is general manager.
In raising from the 235-foot
level, 20 feet north of the shaft, a
vertical vein was struck, at a depth
of 1875 feet in virgin ground that
gave excellent returns from the
first samples taken. The vein is
from ~ to feet wide, and while
some very high assays are obtained
its average value is from $50 to
500 ton.
The new pumps for the mine
are on their way and as soon as in
stalled, exploration of the lowest
levels will be continued
The company this week millet
SO tons of ore of the value of $50
ton and ore is also being extract
ed from lease No. IA on the same
claim.

Rich Ore on Jumping Jack.

Bris Putnam has assumed charge
of the work at the Putnam-Kendall
lease on the Jumping Jack and
no time has been lost in starting
work on the S5-foot level of the
shaft. This drift was out so feet
and is now being continued in
milling ore and it is estimated that
about so feet of drifting will be
necessary before cutting the big
ore shoot opened up on the surface
The last assay taken from this
across a little more than three feet
of ore, gave returns of $3.50 a
ton. The fine dirt scraped up at
the bottom of the shaft assayed
$11250 ton.

Work on Mineral Hill.

Progress on the crosscut tunnel
being driven by the Mineral Hill
company has been retarded to some
extent during this week by the
excessive hardness of the rock
The bore will reach the vein in
another 3 feet, but If the same
character of rock holds it will re-
quire two weeks longer to cut
the quartz. To convey an idea of
the unyielding nature of this par
ticular stratum one man drilled
only 80 inches in a shift and dulled
G5 drills in doing it. This obstacle,
however, is only temporary in
cident The vein at this point is
four feet or more in width and
when it is reached by the tunnel
the going will be easy.

The new mill, lately built up at

operation, and promises to bring
that old mine back to the produc-

stamps dropping in the old mills
at the mouth of the canyon, and
the town was formerly the coun-
ty seat of this county. There were
5000 people living in the camp in
its most prosperous days. 1t may
not again reach to those heights of
activity, but that it is destined tc
yet make a record of production
