Less gold was produced in the
United States in 1912 than in any
years since 1907, according to the
official estimates of the United States
Geological Survey. 1t was declared,
however, that more silver was min
ed during the twelve months than
during the similar period since 1892
The passing of the picturesque pros
pector with his pack mule and pick,
leads the survey to fear that few
rich gold finds" will be made in
the future. None was made in
1912. The value of the gold mined
during 1912 will approximate $92,-
1000, a decrease of $5,000,000
from 1911. The decrease is ascrib-
ed mainly to the failure of the bo-
nanza camp of Goldfeld, New, to
maintain the rich character of its
ore.

"A special from Neversink says
Game Protector Cross was called
to Claryville last Friday to look af-
ter deer which had injured itself
while trying to keep away from a
number of dogs, which had been
giving chase for long time. On
Thursday night the deer, a large
buck, apparently slipped while COM
ing down a steep incline within 200
feet of York's hotel at Claryville and
injured itself so badly that it's hind
legs were useless. He managed to
drag himself to the river before the
dogs came up, when Oliver Baily
hearing the commotion drove the
dogs off, and with the help of others
carried the deer into York's barn.

alleged, farm resident who has alb
stained for several years broke over
and fell a victim to too much hard
cider, willing beside the barrel in
his cellar A friend from the neigh
boring farm was sent for to render
assistance. Upon entering the cell
lar he found the man in a reclining

cask held close to his ear, listening
intently! When asked what he was
doing the reply came: Ssh! I'm
listening to the women buzzing over

is very humorous and enjoys a good
laugh. He is sympathetic and gen.
erous. He addressed the school very
often. He likes large coat pockets,
and has them, as he thinks that they

with him at any time. If so, he will
