The Squirrels Bungalow

Rusty Squirrel came rushing in to the house enc morning very much excited "MOtner!" he shout ed, T have found just the place tor a winter home. It is Q beauti- fuI straw bungalow and ill it are the loVliest colored beds, enough for every one"
 So Mrs. Squirrel tied on her bonnet, made of 0 bright red and gold leat and went off with Rusty leaving Chatter to gather nuts There was a straw bungalow just as Rusty had said and Mother Squir rel liked it as much as Rusty. Mrs. Squirrel begged very hard that night that they move into their new name at once anl finally MT. Squirrel consented so it was a happy family that moved into their new nome.
 Father Squirrel cut back and q front door and then what fun 1t was to choose their beds.
 Rusty chose a red one with white dots, Chatter a green and purple one, MT. Squirrel brown aud Mrs. Squirrel a bis cream one.
 Next day the Squirrels found that nuts and corn had been spread on racks near their house so the Squire! family played the whole fall, knowing they would have plenty for winter.
 But one night a terrible thing happened. They heard a great stamping and q mans angry voice shouting, Mary! come here. Those squirrels have gnawed hole in my new straw suitcase and dragged lot ot my neckties inside, be sides eating lot of those nuts and corn you put there to dry" The Squirrel family waited to hear no more but dashed out the window and, back to their home in the bi ogak. There they burrow- ed in the snow and ate roots the rest of the winter.
 The next year they refined their old nest and never mentioned bungalow again.

MINES SHOW UP
 AT BROAD PASS

Rumlrs of mining activity in the Broad Pass country have been afloal for several months. The Ju- ueau Dispatch carried the following article on the mining activities in thar district last week
 After spending several months In the Broad Pass country, where they nave been doing assessment work, Dr. E. Renfer and brother, Charles Renter, reOort that they, together with man named Miller, from the coast, and several others, nave made the greatest quartz strike ever found in the interior. The strike is along Ohio creek, and of such proportion that it will be worked on a very large scale as soon as the railroad is constructed.
 Dr. Ren6er states that the strike is about seven miles from the rail road aud so located that it will be a simple matter to haul freight frOr. the railroad. The lodges are exposed for hundreds Of feet and contain gold, silver and lead.
 Miller and company, an outfit from the coast, which has been working in the district for a dist ance q 200 feet and have been able to trace the same ledge which appears on the surface.
 RepresentativeB of the Rockefel- Ter family are in the district now, investigating some property which is owned by pr. J. H. Callie, of the coas".
 There are about twenty men in the district now, prospecting and doing assessment work. All are pleased with the outlook for the district and feel confident that there will be smelters, a town and good mining camp there.

1t seems that the fanks did put in a

likely that Donovan would replace
such a promising youngster as Walter
Pipp with a veteran like Honey
According to the ball players who
made the transforming tour with
Frank Bancroft last fall, Pip will be
the best first baseman in the land next
season. Maybe they are a bit over-en-
thusiastic, but Walter was coming
along so well during the regular sea-
