WASHINGTON, Aug. pa party
sent out by the geological survey, un.
der the command of Capt. Clarence E.
Dutton of the army, has succeeded in
making complete survey of Crater
lake. in Oregon, body of water whose
shores, with the possible exception of
one point on the south, have never be-
fore been touched by the feet of white
men. The party's boats were hauled
100 miles by mule teams, dragged by
a detail Of soldiers up the snow-clad
sides of the ridge which surrounds the
lake, and lowered by ropes from the
crest to the water, 900 feet below.
One hundred and sixty soundings were
made, the result of which gave the
general character of the lake bottom
Two large submerged cinder coneslwere
found, respectively 800 and 1900 feet
high, the rest of the bottom being fiat.
Capt. Dutton believes this to be the
deepest body of fresh water on the con-
tinent The greatest depth attained
by the sounding line was 2O05 feet
He writes to Director Powell:

and fine tufa. It cannot have been
formed by an explosion, like Krakatoa
and Tomboro, fer there is no trace of
the fragments anywhere in the coun-

and tufa which surely emenated from
the crater are seen IN vast qualities

sixty miles, and in quantities ample to
fill the whole vast crater twice over.

anywhere but the soundin discloses
little of it at the bottom.

These values will be applied TO the

nitrogen Of these goods has for its
source such materials a. dried blood,

If equally good quality. unless a
special examination Of some particular
brand shows that inferior material like
leather has been used, when such fact
will be stated, and the valuation made
accordingly. Organic nitrogen in
mixed goods sill therefore be valued
AT seventeen cents Ter pound
The insolpble phosphoric acid Of
mixed fertilizers will be considered as
coming entirely from bone, and not
from South Carolina rock. and is
rechoned at three cents per pound.
The potash is valued at the price of
that ingredient in kainit and the mu-
rate. unless the chlorine present in
the fertilizer is no; sufficient TO com
bine with it. in which case the excess
of potash will he reckoned as the sui
phate.
The valuation Of fertilizer is OBJ
tanned by multiplying the percentages
of the several ingredients by twenty

products will be the market value Of
the fertilizing ingredients in one ton.

How Spawn is Taken From Fish.

After the fish is captured from the
spawning races. into which they have
run in anticipation of casting their
spawn in the natural way, they are
placed in tub of water and the ripe
females selected Experience is about
the only thing which will tell you with
certainty when the female is in perfect
condition for operating upon. The
eggs must be perfectly mature and
ready to come from the fish Just as ma
ture intended they should. If they are
pressed from the fish prematurely. your
efforts will be wasted. as they cannot
be fertilized. The ripe female can be
told by the touch, to the expert
When in perfect condition, the belly of
the fish feels soft and fabby, and if
she were held up by the head her
spawn would settle downward. while
with the unripe female the spawn re-
mains stationary in place, and feels to
the touch hard and bunchy, like shot
When all is in readiness the fish is
taken by the head with the right and
by the lower part Of the body by the
left hand. and held over the pan with
the belly as near the bottom as posi-
BILE. The fish will struggle quite vio-
lently at first; it is many tim IS neces-
sary to place it back in the tub for
moment and commence again. When
the fish gets quiet, the right hand is
gently slipped down from the upper
part of the body, and the forefinger
used to press the belly, the hold on the
tail or lower part of the fish being re-
tanned. If the fish is large one it is
often necessary for the operator to
have an assistant to hold its head, las it
would be very difficult for one person
both to hold and take the eggs with
out injuring the fish.-SETH GREEN, in

What n Base Ranger, Just Re.

try.
John Strsndberg, 40 o!d-time miner OF
Eureka District, returned yesterday to the
Base Range from Alaska. whore he went
during the early part Of last Spring and
remained a couple or three months. He
has great faith in the mineral Of
the country and says that it is his belief
that Douglass and and o n~eighboring ISL
and the name of which latter We are now
unable to ~recall) can alone furnish within
the next 20 years enough gold to supply
the wants of the nations Of the world.
What is needed on these islands are mills
similar 10 the Treadwell to work the ore,
which is abundant but Of low grade.
Men Of limited means there have little
show. What is also required is capital, and
until more large mills are constructed it is
a good section for the impecunious to stay
away from. The miners working for the
Treadwell Company are chiefly Indians
and Cinnamon. The former being strong
and hard workers are the preferred class.
The mill hands are principally white men.

Senator Stanford on Labor Prob
lems.

Senator Stanford, in Washington, the
other day, while discussing national mat
tiers, branched out into an extended dis
cussion of the labor question, which he
regarded as the most serious problem that
was before the country at present. Legis-
lation in the past had been more directed
for the preservation of capital than for the
maintenance of the working masses. Legis-
lators had been studying how to hold
Governments together, and very little at
tention had ever been directed 10 the so
luton of the labor question. Mr.. Pow
DERBY in theory was all right, perhaps, but
it was a theory that never could be carried
ont. The doctrine that the world owed
every man a living was we'll enough, and
every man could get it, too, If he was will
ing 10 work. The moment, however. that
you, according to the Powderly theory,
said to the employer. "You must do so
and 20 and pay such a price for such
work." you overstepped the bounds of
common sense, and interfered with the In
alienable right of the employer to regulate
his own business. The solution Of the
labor question, in his judgment, would
come with the Advancement OF the masses
in adueati0n.
