Dog Did Good Service.

AS Jack Snowden was going from

Tuesday night, his attention was at
tracted by the noise his little dog,
Dot was making over something
In the trail few yards ahead. An
investigation proved it to be a large
rattlesnake that was coiled up for
action and standing off the dog. Jack
killed the reptile without trouble but
he feels awfully grateful to the little
canine for the service it rendered, for
lnasmuch as he is quite near-sighted,
especially at night, he would not
have seen the snake until he was
very close to it and then, notwith
standing it's rattle, he in all prOba-
biilty would not have been able to
locate it had not the dog pointed it
out ]

PRODUCER.

The Billy Mack Extension Mining
company is in process of organ1za-
ton by a number of Parker people,
who are convinced that the showing
on the property which Is to be taken
over by the new company is equal
to anything in the Parker district.

the Billy Mack Extension Mining
company adjoins the Billy Mack mine
Twelve claims, owned by M. e. Gra-
ham and John Roberts, will be taken

ton stock has been set aside for
sale among local people. A portion
of this amount has already been sub
scribed, and it is expected that the
balance will be taken up within the
next few days.
The company is organized for one
million shares, half of which is to be
placed in the treasury. The corpor-
alton will sart off without owing a
single dollar, and the amount raised

sparring for holds. Tuesday last,
however. evidently ashamed of his
cowardice after thinking over his ig-
nominous defeat for a couple of days,
and having decided it was all bluff

Verdun. The cock stood his ground
but luckily for him Alfred Preston
who witnessed this attack, having a
gun handy, brought down the coyote

checks at Bouse which belonged to
some miners at Swansea Reiff
passed two bogus checks at Bouse
before leaving that place.

drunk. They got off on to a wrong
road after leaving the D. & w. and
nearly perished on the desert, after
they had break with their car
However. they arrived in Needles,
and were nabbed by the officers
there, upon complaint of Thomas

back her erring husband, in the car
which he appropriated from the COM
pany operating lease on the Clara

will make good the money he receiv-
ed by cashing the checks, and if he
does it is probable that he wil-not
be prosecuted.
