STOCK MARKET
NN~~~~N@.

New York, Jan. 5-Opening-Fur-
Their pressure was brought to bear
against active stocks at today's open
ing, presumably as result, of the
discussion Of peace negotiations
United States Steel added IL points
to yesterdays decline and there were
losses Of l to 2 points in the other
industrials, equipments and NUM-
tons. Coppers, motors, Atlantic, Gulf
and West Indies and other less prom
inent issues also proved susceptible to
moderate offerings with the sugar
group. industrial alcohol, leather and
international paper
Noon---The extremely professional
character of the early trading was in
dicated by the erratic price move
ment. Initial declines soon gave way
to general recoveries and some ma
terial gains, notably in Reading, Mex
lean Petroleum and Beet Sugar but
these were speedily sacrificed in
another setback. Steel led the sec
ond rebound towards midday, more
than. retrieving its opening loss, but
Bethlehem Steel fell LIS points. Rails
came forward on a fair inquiry for
standard issues, including transconti-
nentals and grangers, but coppers
Jagged Bonds were irregular.

INDIAN FINDS MINERAL.
His Dream of Becoming Rich Like
White Man May Be Realized.

Reno, Nev.-Visions of wealth were
held in the mind of Jack Samuels, an
Indian, who came in from the Pyramid
reservation recently with half dozen
samples Of mineralized rock that he
found in lodges out on the reservation
Jack showed them to Indian Agent c.
II. Ashbury, who had his clerk, w. c.
Van Enron, conduct him to the Mackay
School Of Mines at the university to
have them assayed.
Some of the samples look very good,
and it is not impossible that they may
be the forerunner Of important discov-
cries. Jack explains that the lodges
are big, and if the ore runs all right he
has chance to get rich like the white
man.
For many years there have been ira
ditions Of fabulously rich float found On
the reservation, but even the most dill
gent prospecting has failed to disclose
the lodges from which it came.

MlST00K HUNTER FOR STUMP
Nimrod's Peculiar Experience With a
Lynx Who Had Been After a
Squirrel Dinner.

L was once teaching school, writes a
Companion reader, in a backWoods
region, where game was very plenti-
full One afternoon in the hunting sea-
son l made my way to small valley
about mile from the settlement,
down which ran a well-beaten deer
trail.
[ took my post on a small hill that
commanded q good view of the valley.
In front of me, and about II feet dis
tant, was large pine tree; behind me
Was an old stump. AS the evening
was cool, wore gray sweater, and
nay hat was also gray.
After waiting for nearly an hour, I
noticed movement in a small clump
OF bushes to my right. Then the horns
and head of large buck appeared,
but he drew back before l had a
chance to fire. With rifle cooked and
finger on the trigger, 1 crouched, wait
ing for him to show himself again,
A squirrel chattered sharply from
the stump behind. Then he landed
squarely on the top of my head, from
which he sprang to the tree. Imme-
diately after / was thrown violently
forward on my face by some heavy
object that descended with great force
on my back. The blow almost drove
the breath from my body. Ny rifle
was discharged as | fell.
Very much surprised and consider
ably alarmed, [ scrambled to my feet,
but nothing living was in sight. /
peered behind sJumps and fallen logs,
more mystified every moment. No owl
sWooplng down upon the squirrel
could have inflicted such a blow, Meth
er had any limb fallen from the tree.
L looked up among the thick foliage,
but there was nothing to be seen. /
walked round to the other side of the
tree. On large bough, but we'll hid
den, discerned q dim, gray shape. 1t
was a full-grown lynx. I brought him
down by a well-direeted shot
Now I understood the situation. Near
the stump on which the squirrel had
been sitting lay a large log. Behind
this the lynx had crept On his prey.
In escaping, the little animal had
leaped to my head, and thence to the
tree. His enemy had followed him,
and he must have been nightly sur
prised at landing on a man, and also
By the report Of my rifle.
Naturally I saw nothing more of the
deer, but was richer by a fine lynx
skin and a most uncommon expert
ence.-Youths Companion.

FORTUNE I'M A KETTLE.
Farmer Discovers Gold In Iron Pot Tvs
Feet Under Ground.

MilWaukee.-Seven thousand dollars
in gold was the treasure John Rugow-
ski, a truck farmer, found hidden two
feet underground while working in his
garden near Manitowoc, Wis.
Rugowski struck an old iron kettle
with shovel and, digging it up, care
lessly cast it aside, when he spied the
glittering money.
Now the question arises to whom
does the money belong, because Rugow-
ski is only tenant on the farm. The
property is owned by the estate Of the
late John Meyer, which is still being
settled. Heirs of tho estate claim the
treasure, but Rugowski intimates that
possession is nine points Of the law,
and whoever gets the money from him
will have trouble.
For years the farm was owned by q
man named Huck, an eccentric charac-
ter, who had no faith in banks. 1t is
he who is thought to have hidden the
wealth. The property has changed
hands number of times.

EAIiii::Ci UP COYOTES.
klondike Ma'er1ute Proved His Value
When Out of Dog Pound.


Portland, Ore.-The big malemute
from the Klondike, who looked hopeful
ly out of one eye through the picket
fence at the dog pound three weeks
ago, is out at White Salmon now, eat
ing up coyotes and between times chas-
ing rabbits for exercise.
He was a regular new thought dog.
He knew positively that he was an anil
NAL of merit; that he had never met
his better in q fair fight, that death in
the electric box might come to the dogs
that had lost hope anCe that howled
through the night hOu~ and whined
piteously by day, but to him never.
Two months there never weakened his
faith in himself, but it made him lit
tie more willing to accept the love of a
new master, when one should come.
He did come, and that sort of started
things out at Canyon road, and for
days and days other masters came and
dogs went out from the institution at
the rate Of six day, and there wouldn't
be an animal there now if it hadn't
been that others were brought in-bull-
dogs, Airedales, terriers and some are
just plain dogs, who want to have
some one they can love.
