In Kansas more than SO varieties
of birds live. None of them-not even

 Wildcat Creek

By a deal consummhted last week, Kenneth Finlayso son and Walter Row son disposed of the Zero" mining claim on Wildcat creek to Ed Me Connell, who in turn sold the iD- terests to Henry T. Ray and Mrs Hilma Carlson Mr Mcconnell pur- chased a half interest in the ground during the summer from Rowson X Finlayson, taking an option on the other half interest at the same time and continuing operations on the ground.
 The price paid by MT. Mcconnell for the last half interest is under stood to have been $2,50O. He is said to have sold the entire claim and machinery on it for $5,000.
 A block of ground approximately 400 feet long, carrying a good pay streak from 35 to 50 feet in width, yet remains to be worked out. IL is probable that the new owners of the ground will continue operations on it during the coming winter.

 Sam Sea has been appointed ad- ministrator of the estate of Me. Faun. It consists of about $500 in government checks, which the un- fortunate young man had earned in wages. and some personal ef- fleets, as far as can be learned There are no known debts
 The body of the deceased was sent Outside on request of the mother, who wired that she was sending the sum of $250 to pay funeral expenses. Commissioner Riggs wired her, however, that she need not send the money, as Me Faun had more than enough com ing to him to defray all expense. The Engineering commission paid all of the expense of embalming the body. tie only cost coming from the earnings of the young man be ing the cost of transporting it Out side.
