STORY or SEAG0ING STEER
1t FIoated Around New York HarhoP
for Many Hours and Caused Much
Excitement Before Rescued.

Several longshoremen were biting
into thick sandwiches Of garlic on the
water front when there came a prodi-
gtous humping on the plank under
meath. The floor of the pier gave forth
a hOlloW sound.
One of the longshoremen, the Brook
lyn Eagle testifies, swallowed his gar
lie the wrong way and let out Polish
exclamation. Then he bent over and
applied his eyes to a crack In the
woodwork. At first he could not make
out anything in the murk, but at length
pair Of green eyes met his Mortified
gaze, it seemed, to his untutored mind.
conclusive evidence of a personal call
from the evil one, and when horns
raped the planking and a long tail
swished the water he went away from
there very quickly. With him went
the rest of the lOngshoremen.
Up winding Fulton street they sped
and around the crooked corner into
narrow Poplar street, where they very
nearly carried the door of the Poplar
street police station off its hinges. They
arrived before the desk sergeant all
abreast and told. their story, as their
knees snote one against another and
their hands groped feebly for the desk
rail. The desk lieutenant thought at
first it was a: case Of greenhouse"
whisky, but he finally sent man down
to Investigate, The patrolman found
that the ~apparitton was only steer
which had been thrown into the river
and had 'swum up under the dock. He
did not know just what to do and his
police manual gave him no help. OBJ
viously he could not loosen the steers
collar and roll it over a barrel. Nor
could he give it an antidote for poison.
At last he had a bright thought and
called up the dock. department, the
steer being at a dock and therefore,
per Sc O fit subject for the dock de-
partment.
The dock department responded--Or
part Of it did-with saws. Then having
opened q nice round hole in one of the
city's docks, it's work was DONE and It
sent for the S. P. c. A. The 8. P. G. A.
does all hosting jobs appertaining to
steers, mustangs or other animal fot.
sam lifted from the river.
Some brave man passed a rope
around the middle Of Taurus and every
body gave "Yo, heaye no." Up came
the steer and stood dripping on the
dock with the. seaweed hanging from
his: fanks.
This steer IS supposed to have been
in the river for 48 hours before 1t was
rescued.

NOT LIABLE TO DRAFT.

Provost Marshal General Crowder,
according 70 a Washington dispatch
Of few days ago. reiterated the
statement that Mexican citizens are
not liable TO draft In the United
states army.
In the southwestern states" said
The provost marshal general, the
Impression prevails that Mexican
c1t!zens are liable for draft In the
national army and this impression
has caused an exodus to Mexico Of
msny foreign lsborers. Mexican
citizens who have not made any dec
laration OF intention to become citi-
24Qs OF the United States are no
more liable to draft than any other
altsns. Upon satisfying the local
board that they are aliens they will
be exempted and will not be re-

FINE PROSPECTS
FOR BIC MINES
GREAT ACTIVITY IN MINING IN
NORTHERN YUMA COUNTY;
SEVERAL GOOD PROPERTIES
BEING DEVELOPED.

|. J. " Allison of Bouse, expert on
mines and noted mining engineer was
in yuma this week attending court,
being an interested spectator and
witness in the Parker bank cases.
Mr.. Allison Is the superintendent in
charge OF the development Of the Mo-
hican Copper company. The claims
of this company are located six miles
from Bouse They have one shaft
down 5l2 feet On the l00-foot
level they have done 200 feet of tun-
mel work, on the 200-foot level they
have tunneled for 800 feet and on
the 300-foot level they have run
tunnels for $50 feet, all of which
represents a goodly amount Of de-
yelopment work. The ore is a cop
per sulphide and they have 5000
tons blocked out on the l00-foot
level, The entire property is rich
In copper. They expect at an early
date to put. in tlotation plant.
Rol King is the secretary and di-
recting manager. He has recently
interested some rich easterners in
this property and they have plenty
of money to put the property on It's
teet as producer. Mr.. Allison. is
Of the opinion that the Mohican will
ultimately become one of the big
producers of the state
Recently the same people who are
operating the MOhican have taken
over the GrOundstone group Of claims
three miles from Alamo springs. Mr..
Allison has exported this property
and says that 1t is much better than
the Oa1man. district. The claims are
ten miles north of the old North Star
mine and the King of Arizona. just
ON the other side of the range of
mountains. There is a big porphyry
dyke which cuts this group of claims
FOR $500 feet and all of this dyke
assays free milling gold ore. In
some places 1t is very rich and the
assays run very high.
Mr.. Allison says that there are
dozen splendid mining claims in this
district, any one Of which has prom
ise of making a good mine, He is
going to put men to work on this
property at once. They will sink a
we'll and as soon as practicable put
UP ten-stamp mill, In the judg-
ment Of the engineers who have 'ex-
ported the property there is not a
more iattering mining camp in the
state.
Mr.. Allison also states that all
parts OF northern Yuma county is
alive with mining activity and that
some great mines will be developed
in that part of Of the country within
the next year or two. He Is not un-
duly optimistic but knows whereof
he speaks.-Yuma Sun.

Some Birds Are esprlnters."

Birds with short. square wings, like
the king bird, quail and ruftled grouse,
are sprtnters; those with, wide
stretch Of wings are distance run
ners." Birds Of the first class attain
their bursts of speed through their
very rapid wing stroke; birds of the
SECOND class have sustained powers of
flight, but get under way more slowly.
All the gallinaceous fowl are sprint
ers, They take wing like bullet !;
their wings make loud, whirring
sound. The, quail or ruff1ed grouse can
gain full momentum within sixty feet
Of rising; the wings beat from five to
seven times second. The quail COW
ers from forty-five to fifty feet the first
second away from the gun; his wings
fash like a rapidly revolving wheel
The wings Of the ruftled grouse roar
until the sound can be heard 200 yards
away. .'.

A WOMAN'S REASONING.

Look at Mrs. Glithers," said Mr
Dubwalte. she is always well dressed
Glithers doesn't, make half as much
money as l, do, yet you say you has 8
nothing to wear"
That's JUST It," answered Mrs. DUO
waite. You make twice as much
money as Mr.. Glithers does, and my
clothes are no better than Mrs. Glith-
ers' clothes ANY normally constituted
woman in a case like that would feel
that she had nothing TO wear"

WAA TINE CONSTRUCTION.

Secretary Of War Newton D.
Baker. who is also chairman OF the
Council Of National Defense. has
sens interesting correspondence
With sAs chairman Of the Indiana
State Council over the question
whether improvements, public or
oshefwtss, which involves large con-
s<ructton work, should be started
dnring the war. The secretary has
answered very definitely. .as follows:
"gvsxy effort that this country is
capable OF making should be applied
to bringing the war to a speedy and
successful conclusion. The resources
OF the country In general way may
b. said TO consist OF men. money. and
@atertal. and during the period of
the war any new enterprise or un-
dsstsktns .ahould he tried and tustt-
led by the test: Will the men,
money and material SO applied best
eontribute tn thia way to the win
mag OF the war?
New enterprises which are not
fundamental to the efficient opera
rtpn Of the country's necessary ac-
rty!ties should not be undertaken.
This viii not result adversely upon
business or conditions of employment
because every man and every re-
source Will be needed during the war.
