How's Thiss

1t was stated that the theory of
sedimentary precipitation in water
was the one adopted by Weiser. This
theory is, that all mineral in the gold,
silver, copper, zinc, lead, iror and all
other metals were in some remote pc
riod in state Of solution. The theo.
ry, the reasoning of which we are con-
dencing from the Professors commu-
nicatioD, says the r. M. Mining Re-
view, is based upon certain facts:
First, as is well known, the water Of
the sea holds in solution more gold
and silver than are found on the dry
land. Prof. Smith, of the London
University, says that every ton of wa
ter on the globe contains from one to
/ two grains Of gold. Now, when the
crust of the earth was very thin and
the heat of the internal fires very
great, and the seas aud lakes, per-
baps in boiling condition, the MINER
ais were held in solution by the water.
AS the cooling process went on these
were deposited, together with calcite,
felsite, quartzte, spar and other
gangue material at the bottom of
ponds, lakes and seas, reduced to OK
ides, carbonates, sulphhrets, ETC., by
natural chemical processes, and after
ward brought to metallic state by
heat. The dry land upheavaIs were
going on during long ages. The va
rious deposits took place, not stimuli
taneously, but gradually and at differ.
ent periods. When the metamorphic
age poured the molten rock material
out of the drained lakes and seas, me-
tallic veins were formed and their con-
tents covered up often hundreds of
feet under solid rocks. Then the pent.
up fires Of the interior earth broke
through the thicker crust and threw
np the mountain ranges just as we see
them to-day, with their veins of gold,
silver and other metals. The depth
of the vein will be graduated by the
extent and depth of the lakes or seas
in which they were formed. This ac-
counts for the fact that all true fissure
veins must have rocks of different
kinds on different sides. If the fs-
'sures had been made by the shrinking
of the rocks in cooling, the rock would
of course be the same on both sides of
the vein.
This is brief analysis Of the aque-
'ous theory, which is given TO aid in
forming correct theories, and with
them correct methods of observation
in both the discovery and working of
mines.

masses are ready for the moulding room.
The mouids are in two pieces and are
made Of brass, one-haf of the teoth Of
sections being on either side. The color

ChAsing 0obblsrs.

Tho boys up on Wallan's creek.
Ge1rga, have adopted novel way TO
gobble up wild gobblers. When they
take it into their heads to make . raid
on this monstrous wild bird they simply
provide themselves with feet horses and
. pack Of dogs as their only implements
of warfare. Thus equipped they lie
away 10 the vobds, and when they fnd
their game they simply put spurs 10
their horses and proceed to chAse -
though it were fox instead Of tur-
key. A fat gobbler, it Ii said, cannot
fly great distance. and when he pitches
if on the ground, hs takes - his heels
till he is so closely pursued by the dogs
that he is compelled TO resort again TO
his wings for safety. Thus the chase is
kept up continuously until the Robbler
becomes completely tagged out and can
neither run nor dy. when, OF course, he
has to succumb to his pursuers. II vss
In thi. way that C. II. Roar, John
Peacock and Charley Flood captured
two Gne gobblen, weighing respective
" sixteen and eighteen pounds, during
the Christmas holidays. The smaller
one was chased about nine miles and the
other about eight.

Blue-Rlooded Dogs.

Within the past half doxen years there,
has grown up among sporting men and
genaienen OF leisure . strange fancy for
imported or blue b.ooded setter dogs.
Ihere are many of the improved species
in the kennels OF Wilmington gentlemen.
The majority Of the imported dogs came
from the extensive kennels OF Sir PERCY
Lewellin member of the British peeraee
who had acquired fame and fortune BY
devCtlng his attention exclusively to the
improvement in the OF setter dogs. The
ANIMALS are brought directly to this country
generally to New York, in some cases to
Philadelphia, and there purchased through
agents by ep9rtsmen- The prices paid, in
many Instances, are astonishlngly large,
ranging in q few known instances as high
as 81 GOO for SINGLE setter. One. thous-
aai dollars, however. Is considered a high
figure, the latter sum, 1t IS said, having
been paid by gentlemen in Philadelphia
for q noble specimen of the bluest blood.
The imported dogs have many points of
superiority over the native animals, diff
ering as much from each other as the
trained racer from the country road horse.
Blue blood if strong and feet Of LIMB, has
long. fine hair, with tendency to creep
at the ends, well colored, whatever that
means, and is warranted to watch his game
rain or shine, twice as long as the native
specimen. There are at least half dozen
imported settlers in the possession of par.
ties In this city, each of which cost over
$500. The best known man in the UnltAd
States in this line is Rene" Martin. the
dog trainer. Martin was formerly a
butcher, but the instinct born within him
was too strong, and he quickly drifted
into his natural sphere. As q trainer of
setter dogs, ranging from 800 to 5000, are
| little extraavgant, but the owner of the
| pup can rest assured that when he gradu-
ates from Martins careful and painstakinp
hands he is accomplished in the highest
degree. Martins plan is simple. As
soon as the cunning season opens he takes
his dogs to some secluded hunting grounds
in the South. There he establishes him
self and his pupils. Every day he hunts
going cut early IN the morning and returnt
only after dark. AT the end of the season
his dogs have completed their education,
