The latter is the old bav mule that, it is claimed, has been working in and around silver mines for many years, and which fell down Aspen mountain a week ago and broke his neck.

Old Pete was pretty hard to cut open, and he was frozen as stiff as the proverbial poker, and the dago hacked at him with an ax for two hour8 before he mined into his maw. He did the opening act with an ax, but when he got into the bowels he drew a butcher-knife from a sheath at his side, and commenced to cut in with it. Two teamsters who were passing down the mountain with a load of oreT at this time, were so much interested at this juncture that they stopped to see the end of it. Their curiosity was not long deferred, for thev soon saw the Italian throw the knife'to one side, make a dive into the beast's belly with his right hand and produce an oblong black ball, which he held up near his face and examined critically.

The lathes are greater, the rolls are longer and heavier than anything the remainder of the country can show, and even the steam boilers are the largest ever made by hand of man.
