TO BE CLOSED DOWN.
The Fish in the Purissima Creek SDan
One " onth Late.

One Month Late.
The angling community OF this city are
much exercised As to the proposed closing Of
the Purssima Greek until May l. Many
Waltonians have been in the habit for years
Of fishing this creek early in April, and they
have always found abundance Of trout
Many. however, declare that the fish therein
do not spawn until the end of April and It
is because of the representations of these
after that the proposed closing is about to
be ordered.
William Lambert, prominent Waltoniap,
was seen on Steiner street yesterday. and
being asked about The matter. said: "lhave
tshed the Purissima Greek now for many
years and / think that it should be closed
down Certainly until May ]. Ii is really a
shame TO take out some Of t be trout which
l have seen landed in the early spring.
Owing TO the popularity Of the waters of
the creek not uniting with the ocean so as TO
allow salmon or any kind of salmon trout TO
ascend or descend and spawn, the fish
therein all, therefore, spawn very late in
the season.
IF the creek is still allowed to be fished
as heretofore it will be altogether depleted
and will cost the Fish Commissioners n
lot Of money to restock the creek and
consequently, also loss of time to fisher
men who follow their pastime at the creek.
L and friend tshed there the latter pant Of
last April one evening. / caught % trout
and 20 OF them were full OF spawn or not
through spawning, and like proportion of
my trends catch were IN the same cOndi-
ton. We thereup0n stopped fishing and
rode over 10 IObitas Creek, where we found
that all the FISH we caught had already
spawned. The conditions, therefore, of the
Purissima Creek render it essential that it
should be closed down forthwith before un-
sportsmanlike anglers begin to commit their
annual depredatiOnS."

AFLOURISHING INDUSTRY.
Coin Sweating widely Practiced an
Very Easily Done.

Coin Sweating widely Practiced and
Very Easily Done.
According to dispatches from New York
coins weating in San Francisco has become
a very extensive industry.
Comparatively few understand what coin
sweating means, and do not see how gold
ranging from cents to 81 can be taken
from a $40 gold piece without its being dis
covered.
Paul Seller, an electrician, stated to
CALL reporter yesterday that it was great
mistake tn suppose the industry was con-
fined chiefly or even considerably to the
Chinese. In his opinion they have very
little to do with ii. Some of them. it Is true,
are quite skillful in such matters. Mr..
Seller. speaking of the methods. said: :
Certain proportions of hydrCehloric and
nitric acids viii dissolve gold. The acid at
tacks a gold coin put into il with exactly
the same force at every exposed point OF
the surface. Hence the coin Will come out
with its letters aud figures just as plain and
distinct, so far as the naked eye can detect.
as V hen it came out Of the Mint. If 1t hap
pens &c be an old and furnished coin 1t Will
come out much improved 10 appearance.
The acid, however, has stolen part Of
the coins value and ii has become bl-chlor-
de Of gold, and the next thing Is TO reclaim
1t. By adding q certain amount OF cyanide
Of potassium the gold is liberated and IN the
form Of precipitate. This is simply a
rough idea Of the process, aud would not be
sufficient as a guide to a chemist,
Cashier Burns at the San Francisco Sub
Treasury does not credit the report that
there is so much sweated coin in circulation.
He saws he has not seen one for six months
and they are never very common. lie is in
clined TO believe that the short weight COM
planned of in the East is no more serious
than tie abrasion due to handling
If however. the telegrapnic reports can
be relied upon, and the shortage is as great
as 81. or even half that amount, it cannot,
according to Chief Conner Gorham at the
Mint, be due to the abrasion OF national
traffic. Mr.. Gorham stated yesterday that the
Government had fixed an estimate of the loss
bvabrasion, which is one-half OF per cent in
twenty years, or 10 cents on $50 gold piece
in that time

SOUTH BRITAIN.

1t is a wonder to some Summer visitors
that any house in Southbury or South
Britain street should be vacant, where
there are such advantages for Summer
rest and recuperation. With fresh air,
level drives, fresh fruit and vegetables,
for health and pleasant towns people,
good churches and earnest preaching, a
physician whose success is unchallenged
and, for all, the prices reasonable. AT
fording these real advantages, the pros
pect is that the country villages are sure
to gain the favor of those seeking actual
rest from the constraints of city life.
