There is a hideous reptile, known as
the fishing frog. which angles for Its
game as expertly and with as great
success as the most adroit fiy-1sher.
He is a clumsy. awkward swimmer,
but nature has compensated him for
his unwieldiness by furnishing him
with an equivalent for a rod and line.

elongated tentacles spring from his
nose, which taper away like actual
fshing-rods. To the end Of them Is at

serves the purpose of a line, a bait In
the form of a shiny bit of membrane.
The hooks are set In the mouth of the
fisherman below, and In order to In

Of them, the angler stirs up the mud
at the bottom with his fins and tall.
This attracts the fish and conceals him

put to work on this mine, and oper-
atoms are being resumed.
The Silver Standard, a promising
property, according to Mr.. o'Brien,
has been taken over by Willard Scow-
croft of Ogden. Lorin Hall and as
sociates.
The Siegel mine. which lies nine
miles north OF the Muncy Creek CON-
pany's mines and twenty miles from
Ray. a siding on the Nevada Northern
has been purchased by Mr.. Lazarus
and a large crew il working steadily.
It is said that more than n thousand
tons OF ore, which runs from 40 to
200 unces of silver. have been ship
ped recently from this mine. Five
trucks are hauling ore to the siding.
Besides the Siegel mine, Mr.. Lazarus
has taken owe the May Queen and
Burke properties.
The Lucky Deposit, a property in
this district, II is stated, has blocked
out 100000 tons of primary sulphide
ores averaging five per cent copper
and five ounces in silver. In the last
crosscut that has been made on the
lowest level has been encountered an
ore shoot through which the cut has
been driven thirty-nine feet and IL
still in ore. There are 200 feet OF
ore on the dip, which runs 500 tons
to the foot, which gives a total OF
100 900 tons OF ore blocked out. says
Mr.. O'Brien.
The Mnncy Creek properties, which
consist of a group OF twenty-four
claims. practically adjoin the Lucky
Deposit and Siegel mines on the
south and lie in the same mineral
belt. The Muncy Creek property has
the advantage OF the lower and up
per contact of porphyries. Main de-
posts have been opened now on the
contact between the monzonite and
the lime. The ore is a replacement
in the lime.
THE main efforts of the company
says Mr.. O'Brien, have been made
on the Grand Deposit claim. A shaft
has been sunk 200 feet and the ore
developed 240 feet on the dip. This
particular ore shoot is ninety feet in
length and t~hirty-seven feet in width.
making a deposit of $4,000 tons with
an average of Ave per cent copper
and eight ounces of silver. This
claim is equipped with a hoist and
other machinery sufficient to take out
100 tons of ore a day and by increas-
ing the equipment the daily output
could be increased to 1000 tons.
This contact has been traced for
a mile and a number Of known ore
shoots equal to. or better than, in
value the n on the Grand Deposit
have been discovered. The porphyry
belt of the o has a width of
from 800 to 900 feet. A shaft sunk
sixty feet In this belt OF the contact
