New York. March IA strange
slripwreck story, unreported by cable
from the Azores, arrived today from
horta. Fayal, by the freighter Zaan-
dyk. Captain Barnedsen says he
learned from the skipper Of the Nor
wegian tank steamer La Habra,
which arrived at Horto on February
!. bound from Talara Bay, Peru, by
way of the Panama Canal, for Lon
don. that her cargo of benzine caused
an explosion aboard as she was near
ing the Azores to replenish her bunk
ers.
La Habra was quickly ablaze from
stem to stern.
The skipper expected her to be de-
stroyed utterly before his eyes. He
was elated when q giant comber
broke aboard her subduing the fire al
most completely. Other seas helped
in the work and all hands except the
chief officer and those in the vanish
ed boats went back on their ship.
They found that all charts, books and
Instruments Of navigation had been
destroyed.

JENNIE LIND AND THE BIRD

Jenny Lind had voice of such
wonderful sweetness and purity that
the name of the Swedish Nightin-
gale" was given her. She was also
called the Queen of Song" 1t is
pretty story that tells how she once
met her rival, bird, and, after being
charmed by his song yielded him first
honors.
As she was out riding in the coun-
try with some of her friends, beau
tiful bird. perched nearby, trilled out
such wonderful series OF sweet notes
that the great opera singer sang
few strains of her finest music. The
beautiful bird arched his neck, listen
ed quietly to the end, and then began
to sing again in such a way that Jenny
Lind clasped her hands for joy. Then
again she sang, using some of her
Tyrolese mountain strains The bird
answering back in its wonderful trills,
until Jenny herself acknowledged that
the pretty bird singer had really out
carrolled her.-Our Dumb Animals

opened Mr.. Manson states that the
discovery was made on the 750-foot
level of the old Hubbard lease, and
about 200 feet west Of the shaft
The vein splits in this territory, and
a drift had been driven along one of
spurs about two years ago without any
important results. Mr.. Manson re-
Gently secured a new lease and small

streak of ore, which is believed to be
the continuation of the rich ore that

who was first vice-president of the
Goldheld Consolidated Mines Com
pany
The streak has already been opened
more than 80 feet i'll length, and shows

JURY FROWNS ON
CLAIM JUMPERS

The case OF Nelson and Cook Us,
Sparger and Smith required several
days time in Judge Walshs Court last
week. The case was suit for title
TO valuable mining ground 25 miles
from Nina known as the Goldsmith
or Royal George group. Plaintiffs
were represented by George 5. Green
and Judge Withers and defendants by
Vim. Forman and r l.. Foley. The
claims were originally discovered by
Nelson, who. by his location notice,
took up 900 feet in an eastcrly diree
ton and 600 feet westerly, but in stalk
ing ont his claim he stepped off ITO
feet easterly from the location monu-
mcnt. and there erected his end
stakes. These. latter were also used
as corner posts OF an adjoining claim.
which was owned by Nelso. Sparg-
err and Smith discovered the error, and
located what was termed the Gilt
Edge Fraction, which would have
given them possession of a rich strike
made by Nelson. Smith and Sparger
were prevented by writ of Injunction
from completing their location work
on the fraction.
Numerous witnesses were present
ed by both sides of the case, which
was tried before jury at the request
OF the plaintiff.
After being out an hour the jury
brought in a verdict in favor of the
plaintiffs. Attorneys for the defense
state that the case will be carried to
the Supreme Court.-Walker Lake
