IN THE MINING WORLD
CINNABAR DEPOSITS DISCOVERED
 BY ACCIDENT

Two stray steers caused the discov- cry of deposit of cinabar in the Pilot Mountain, western Nevada. On the day of the discovery Thomas Pep. per and Charles Keough had been tracking the two steers, when, near nightfall the trail led over an old prospect in which a face of limestone was exposed. The red mineral was recognized by Keough as connabar. After finding the steers and taking them to Nina the two discoverers re- turned to Cinnabar Mountain, as tine hill on which they had made the find has since been named, where they spent 10 days in careful search and located claims. They later went back to Nina and made known their find, causing intense excitement and that afternoon almost every citizen of the town left for the site of the discovery by automobile and by other less expeditions eonveyances. A large number of claims were staked by the first corners and many more were afterward staked by claimants from ronopah.
 The discovery was widely heralded as the rediscovery of the "lost Ha
 thorne quicksilver mine," named for Judge Hawthorne, in whose honor, it is said, Hawthorne, the seat of Min eral County was named According to local report in the seventies Judge Hawthorne discovered rich quick. silver deposit, which is believed to have been situated at the site of the recent discoveries. In returning from the mountains, so it is said, flaw thofne lost his bearings, and although to the end of his life he attempted an nually to find the "quicksilver mine" he remained unsuccessful This tra- dition seems highly improbable. The original a'scoverers-who he was is unknown--had done some very sub stantial work on the prospect. In his ! .fforts to preve his find he had blast ed out considerable mass of solid

limestone, and as further tokens of his activity sticks of powder, fuse. and picks lay abandoned at the prospect. That this energetic prospector lost his way and was unable to find the pros- peet at which he had labored is not eeasily credible. It IS more likely that he abandoned the prospect as, in his judgement, not sufficiently valuable. The newcomers have found consider ably richer deposits than the unknown pioneer did, and have shown that the riannhar extends along a considerable belt.

TOWN OF DALLAS SHOWERED
 WITH TINY FROGS
Millions Fall Upon Ground
 Apparently Stunned
Stunned

M KINNEY, Texas, Oct. "A resi- dent of this city who happened to be visiting a friend in Dallas during q downpouy of rain, stated upon his re- turn here that during the storm mill ions of frogs no larger than match heads had fallen there. When the rain had stopped citizens of Dallas noticed countless numbers of these tiny frogs in the streets on sidewalks, in yards and on porches. The ground was lit terally covered.
 Most of them seemed stunned and could not move from under foot. and were trampled by pedestrains The frogs, all the same size, seemed to have come from nowhere, Some hardy per sons went so far, however, to say that they had seen them falling, but they refused to be quoted. In a few hours the frogs had revived sufficiently to bother barefooted "kiddies' who were out for their noon-hour romp
 "Gee, they are so squashy," said one little girl, who had felt the sen sation of stepping on them.
