Dr. Neuman yesterday removed
! one of the hands of the unfortunate
native who was caught in a storm
and froxen while taking a trip up

j Both of the man’s hands were bad

It is reported that other parties
have picked up an extension of the
pay streak recently uncovered on
the Mohawk claim on Dexter by
Maus and Liston. Billy Maus and
A1 Jorgensen are reported to be
the lucky ones concerned in the
later discoveries, both having locat
ed the streak on contiguous prop
erties in conjunction with other par
ties- Nothing has been learned as
to the values so far but it is stat
ed by one party who claims to
know that to all appearances the
’ ground is of about the same rich
| ness as that of the first discovery.

The wind which has been gradu

; last night which buried the back

| ed Front street with a variety of
i deep drifts which made all kinds
1 of hard traveling for both teams
and pedestrians during the evening
1 and this morning. Not in many
years has the town been so com
pletely blockaded and not within
the memory of the oldest old timer
have the drifts on Front street
reached to greater heights. In places
some of the banks are eight and
ten feet in depth. Hardly a team
is visible today as even the hardy
water men are hardly able to get
around. Although the snow is
bad and the wind inclined to blow
a gale it has been quite mild and
warm throughout the snow period.

ABOUT THE RINGS
ON THE OYSTER
A popular theory about tings on
an oyster shell being an indication
of its age is not supported by the
careful investigation of Miss Ann
L. Massy, who tested specimens ,
from the oyster- station at Ardfry, ■.
at t he head of Galway bay
It has been supposed by many that j
each ring, or group, on the oyster’s
deep valve stood for a year’s growth.
But Miss Massy says that this de
duction is not reliable. After a
patient scrutiny of over 600 samples
of various ages, from 18 months to
6 years, she says: “An oyster of
18 months or two summers appears
to possess at least two rings, but
may have as many as five.
“One of three summers has at
least two, rings and may have six.
A four-vear-old oyster may have
only three rings or may possess
seven or eight.”
