Indeed any person standing at the

there at night as signal. for instance;
or by day towel might be hung from
the window as though to dry and yet

RECORDS OF SONGS OF BIRDS
Gramophone Has Been Successfully
Employed in New and
interesting Way.

The gramophone is sometimes put
to strange uses. Tie leader of an
African hunting expedition. who set
out on a motor trip from the Cape or
Cairo, recently used it as a decoy Tor
tigers and hippopOtami. In tiger
hunting it is usual TO tether a lamb
to a tree; its bleatines attract the
tiger within reach Of the hunters. BE-
fore leaving England the explorer had
some records made OF bleating lambs.
and, SAYS. a recent writer, he trled
them on the unSuspeCting tigers OF the
African jungle with considerable sue
cess
The record makers gained one Of
their greatest triumphs when they sue
ceedcd in getting good nightingale
and bIackbird records. The chief dit
ficulty was the objection that birds
had to the sounds of the recording
machines. The clever men got round
that by setting up a dummy record
ing machine, in the horn of which
they put some OF the birds favorlte
food.
When the bird entered the horn to
get the food the c!ockwork was set
in motion. The little creatures soon
grew accustomed TO the sound, and
so. after much tedious and discourag-
ing labor. successful records were
made. These records are selling III
thousands all over the world.

EAST HERCULES EXTENSION.
Well Located Property Which Is Being
Steadily Developed.

w. H. Reeves, Of Spokane, manager
of the East Hercules Extension Mining
company, visited the property of the
company recently and expressed much
satisfaction with the outlook. The
East Hercules Extension group is To-
Gated about Sh miles east Of Burke
The surface showing is described as
being from so to 100 feet wide and the
copper values indicate that a body of
commercial ore will be found when the
drift that is now being run reaches a
point under the surface showing at o
depth of about 1000 feet. After his
visit to the property Mr.. Reeves said:
1.-THE drift has now been extended
about 10 feet. We are working but
a small force, doing hand work, and
progress is necessarily slow. We con-
template installing a compressor in
the spring and will get electric power

THE AMAoN-Dlx
Raise Completed and Sinking Viii
Soon Be Under Way.

Wesley Everett, manager OF the
Amazon Dixie Mining company To-
Gated just across the divide at Sildix,
Mont, was in the city Tuesday, and
was In his usual optimistic mood re-
garding the property he is transform
ing into a mine and the mining situ-
alton in general. The raise from the
main working tunnel to the level
above, which has occupied his atten-
ton for several months, was complet-
ed last week, the distance between the
two tunnels being 405 feet, The main
tunnel has developed an ore shoot
over 500 feet long with an average
width of 9 feet Mr. Everett says he
will now run a crosscut near the west
end of this shoot in order to prospect
the ground at a point where he has
reason to expect additional ore. When
that is completed he will sink 500 feet
at a point short distance from the
raise, running drifts at $50 feet and
500 feet. This work when completed
will demonstrate In great measure
the value and extent of the ore body
and give a basis for plans for future
operations. Mr.. Everett reports the
snow between 5 and feet deep at the
Amazon Dixie.

About 2A miles from Saltese, Mont.
on Silver creek, the Wilson Mining &
Smelling company is engaged in de-
veloping two groups of claims which
are described as being Of unusual
merit One of the groups is copper
and the other lead, the first one now
being actively developed. A crosscut
is being run and is apparently now
very near the vein, as evidenced by
much red oxide characteristic of the
copper deposits of that section. The
showing on the surface shows copper
values and 1t is believed that COM
mercial ore will be found when the
vein is reached. Further up the creek
and adjoining the company owns a
group of claims which cover a lead
vein of exceptional merit. Galena is
found in the outcrop, which is large
and indicates strong and permanent
vein. 1t is stated that years ago a
prominent Occur d'Alene operator Of
fered $4,000 cash for this property.
