digging into the bowels of mother Earth for

with the Importance Of trying my luck, made
full preparation for prospecting by making
Long Tom. procuring spade, an old tin pan,
and sundry other articles necessary for giving
it a fair trial. Having heard that gentleman
had made a successful attempt near Monona
bent my course that way by cutting across lots
SO as not to attract too much attention from in
quisitive observers. soon arrived at good
looking spot and unloaded the tools found a
place 10 set my Tom. and commenced digging
up the bottom of the creek and washed out the
mud and stone for an hour. now began a
thorough examination for the "root of evil'--
the result was two snail shells, one craw ifs :,
three tad poles, several pieces of broken flint
and little black sand. This slightly cooled
my fever and l started to see if my team was
all right, and there found drove of cattle
attracted, probably, by the novelty of my en-
ployment. One old COW had commenced eating
up a good Broadclolh coat and had scattered
from its pockets sundry important papers. two
or three fish-hooks and lines and other articles
loo tedious to mention. Things having taken
this tuln, l packed up my traps and made for
home. Having concluded that if any one wants
to get richat this business. now offer my tools
cheap, as have decided to quit the business.

Boat Building.
The Editor of the Pioneer at West Union has
done the public good service in publishing
the following Instructions on Boat or skiff
building. Mr.. GHAuKY is an experienced wa
terman and in view of the loss Of life which has
reason of badly constructed water crafts. be
lays down the rules SO that any man who can
read, can build boat that will not be a niece
boy drowner. Read and remember The FRO.
portions here mentioned.
A good skiff Is made aboet- as follows:
None should be made Of boards less than l s
feet long. Oak, three quarters OF an inch thick
is very good stuff to make them OF, the side
boards ought to be ut least 20 inches wide for
the length mentioned, and wider in proportion
as the length is increased. The bottoms ought
to be three feet wide. and the top 4 feet inches
in the widest place. The sides are sloped
forward OF the bow from IL to Is inches, to
suit the taste Of the builder, and back at the
stern as fancy dictates, no two builders giving
them exactly the same pitch and appearance
About feet from the stern, strike line from
the edge Of the side boards up into them 4
inches at the end, and saw off the strips. Now
Ect Inc ulstdHCC UStaecu Juc pOiuJ where tNcbt
strips start to the point at the bow, and in the
middle Of that distance stick an awl l Ia or
inches from the edge of the side boards, strike
lines from that awl to the bow and stern point
and saw of the strips. Nail the sides to the
| stem first, then put stout stick across, with a
short board at each end, running crosswise with
the sides to prevent splitting, cay 4 feet from
the bow, and then bring the boards together al
the stern. 1t must then be drawn in at some
places, and pushed out at others, to give it a
proper shape. The rake, as it is called, that il
the raising Of the bow and stern high out oi
water is given TO Thy pushing the top of the
sides out and drawing the bottom in, ut the
widest place, and not as is generally supposed
by inexperienced builders, by sIoping the sides
up at each end. The more faring the sides are
the less liable skin is to upset, and the cause
Of our making these remarks is the belief We
have that the akiffs on The Cedar and other riy-
era in this part Of the State are too straight up
in the sides, too much resembling coffin.
