The greyhound is a sim, elegant beast
with Chippendale legs and a waist that
would make a French actress expire
with envy. He is built chiefly OF coil
springs. and is noted for his speed, hav-
Ing little weight and wind resistance. A
greyhound can project himself from hith-
er to yon faster than any other style OF
dog, but is singularly devoid OF business
when he arrives. In this he resembles
the aeroplane, which can travel from New
York to San Francisco IN two months
at the rate Of ninety mines an hour and
arrive In ample time to be shipped back
Greyhounds flourish mostly in poetry
and picture books and are not a familiar
object on the landscape, except in Eng
land, where they are used extensively for
decorative purposes. From all pictorial
information Nhich We can gather the
chief object Of this celebrated dog Is
to provide resting place. with his long.
needle-like head, for some beautiful lady's
hand. The fact that no greyhound mas
been trained to act as a messenger boy
or a pipe cleaner, leads to the suspicion
that there Is no place in the animaI's
sparse and ecCnI mcal body large enough

In the West. the greyhound Is some
times used for chasing tack-raDbits- HIS
success can be estimated from the Iact
that these animals have now multiplied
until they can be rounded up in Groves
OF 10000 and killed with clubs. A grey
hound can run as fast as an ordinary
John rabbit. but when the latter begins
TO dodge and evade the issue, the brow
Of the noble dog becpmes corrugated

MAY OPEN FAMOUS
HAYWARD MINE

San Francisco, Jan. 3l.-Aside from be-
ing the bright particular star Of the male
species in the leap year meditations OF
the fair sex, Col. Edwin II. r. Green is a
busy man. While not measuring the
passing ladies' by the rules Harrison
Fisher follows in selecting his Western
beauties with the slashing heads" he
is figuring on how to collect more money.
Col Green believes he has found the
hiding place OF large wealth. II Is the
famous old Eureka mine at Sutter Creek.
AmadOr County. This is the property
from which the picturesque Alvinza Hay
ward took so. .OO0. .OOO in the days when Lot
ia, who built the fountain. was building
fountain funds OF the nuggets OF gold
showered upon her when she sang How
Can Leave Thee?''
The mine has been idle for more than
a score Of years, ever since a fire over
the surface caused the shaft to cave in.
so that entrance into the workings was
impossible without enormous expense.
Now Col. Green is ready 20 meet the
expense and hopes another Se0O0O. 600 may
be taken out OF the property.
Mrs. Hetty Green owns the mine, hav-
ing received It with the estate left by
her husband. who bought II for S2.oOo,-
OOO. She has frequently set a price OF
s2.6O0oOO on It, but in the absence Of
buyer. has decided TO work II. The
Greens also own the South Eureka mine,
!, 500 feet from the Bonanza property.
Col. Green to-day added fifteen pro-
posals 10 the 500 record he had estab-
lished UP TO last night. Thirteen of them
came through the mails, two by night
letter messages.
