AN UNBEI,rEyER.

whereby he can locate ore bodies ny
the aid Of electricity, is inclined 10 be
;neredulous, Notwithstanding the ac-
commits OF his wonderful discoveries rs

;nvention is no more beyond the range
- possibilities than was the telephone,
the telegraph, the phonograph or the
electric system Of lightning and mo-
live power. After reviewing the claims
made By Kiinball, the Industry says
