SMALLEST BEAST or PREY,
It Is a True Weasel, but Is Only About
Six Inches Long.

The smallest carniyorous animal in
the world is an American weasel which
Is numerous in northwest Canada and
Alaska and is occasionally seen about
the great lakes. 1t is true weasel,
but only six inches long. with a tail
only one inch in length. All its upper
surface Is In summer pure umber
brown, but the throat, abdomen and
inside of the legs are pure white, and,
unlike any other weasel, it has no black
at the end of the TAIL hence, although
the animal turns white in the north in
winter, 1t does not show the black
tipped tail which characterizes an err
mine pelt, and so it is not sought by
trappers and fur traders.
This fact. with it's small size and Sc
cretive life. has made its habits very
little known, but they seem to be much
like those of other weasels. 1t feeds
on insects, which it finds alive In sum-
mer and in winter digs out of rotten
logs; upon small birds, etc., but lives
mainly on mice. These it can follow
into their narrowest holes and run
ways. for it is scarcely larger than a
field mouse itself, or. striking the trail
of one, it will trace all its wanderings
and as soon as it catches sight of its
prey will spring after it with amazing
and fatal rapidity.
1t is frequently caught by naturalists
in their mouse traps. An old Indian
told w. H. Osgood of the biological
survey. who thus captured one in south
ern Alaska that it was promise of
rare good fortune. His brother. he re-
lated, had taken one when boy and
had in consequence become big chief.
A good name for this least Of the car
nivores would be mouse hunter" 1t
is known to science as Putorius rixo-
sus.--Harper's.

Zinc Ore Prosperity.

The era OF prosperity probably
dates from the time you thought the
zinc ores In the Nav Day Mining
company's ground should have some
commercial value | believe II was In
July that the subject was first men
toned. II took some time 10 locate
the buyers OF zinc ore, and then some
more time In obtaining a contract
that would prove profitable Tor us
20 handle The ores. In August we
sent out four cars In the nature OF
an experiment. 10 determine just what
could he done with our ores. as well
a. 10 find IL the ores contained any
interfering elements that might
cause our ores not TO be acceptable
10 the zinc smelters. The results from
these four cars proved our ores TO be
very desirable. and. in fact the smell
ters were very anxious for them.
some kinds being quite rare and very
easily treated, " you can state that
any zinc ore is easily treated.
At this time, however, the freight
rates were SO high II was not
deemed advisable 10 ship under the
existing conditions, and shipments
were not continued until the matter
OF freight rate adjustment had been
taken up with the Interstate Com
merce commission. and after a long
wait. and one very veXa atious delay.
the rates were lowered. and II was
the middle OF October that our zinc
shipments became a steady feature.
Since that time we have shipped from
500 10 1000 tons per month. ! believe
the average would be about S25 tons
per month.
