A Clock That Registers the Tide.

The chamber of commerce of Rouen
has erected a clock tower which gives
the time on three sides and the height of
the tide on the fourth, namely, that front
ing the harbor. The tide indicator con-
sists essentially of float, which, by
means of cord and counter weight hung
on drum, actuates a series of shafts
with bevel wheel gearing and moves a
hand or pointer on dial like that of a
clock, marked with the necessary figures
to show the level of the tide. The dials
are of opal glass and are illuminated at
night. The clock has an apparatus for
distributing the time to other clocks in
Rouen and also for unifying the time
after the method adopted in Paris

The Chicago boarder arose, placed
his gross napkin ring in his coat-tail
pocket with a dignified wave of his
hand and left the room. There was
an appalling silence around the table
Even the landlady appeared much dis
turbed.
Perhaps" suggested the hall-bed-
room boarder at length in the gentle
tones of compromise; perhaps this
turkey was brought up in a sheep pas
ture. Who knows?"
Who, indeed" said the landlady,
softly.

Riverside Press: About % miles from
San Jacinto, and So miles from the
Hemet dam, are some newly discovered
gold mines which give indications OF be-
ing quite rich. In one mine the shaft is
down 200 feet, and the ore runs from $40
to $50 per ton, the vein being quite
large. Another shaft is down 90 feet on
the same vein. These two mines are
owned by Mr.. Morrison Of Los Angeles
and Mr.. Dunbar OF Pasadena. They
have 80 much faith in their property
that they have erected five.stamp mill
and expect soon to increase its capacity
by the addition of five more stamps.
Near the stamp mill the Thomas boys
havs shaft down 80 feet, the ore from
which assays the same as the one men,
toned above. The mine has been
named the jolly Jim, probably because
Jim Thomas, one OF the owners, is such
jolly fellow.
Farther out toward the desert Joe
Thomas has several very promising as
bestos mines, which will some day be
very valuable.
Within the borders OF Riverside
county are to be found all the precious
metals and untold wealth is stored away
in the granite hills awaiting the devel-
opment which is certain to be made
come day.

As all the mines in that vicinity are gold

The Bud Doble Gold Mill and Mining

average being 5000 per ton. They are
using Levet's new amalgamating process,
which so far has proved very successful.
The company intends making run Of

ore in different locations on the ledge.
Mr.. Levet has gone east to arrange for
the purchase of extensive reduction

San Diego Sun: Francisco Estudillo,
the new Indian agent for all the reser-

looking after the interests of the Indians

Estudillo was appointed agent to sue

bonfires, held fiestss and in other ways
peculiar to themselves celebrated the
event. for they knew Estudillo, and
knew he would be not only an official
friend but an active, earnest, personal
friend to them. He goes among them
and learns of their troubles, their needs
and their sins, and 30 far as possible

latter.
For instance, shortly after he was ap-
pointed Mr.. Estudillo learned OF bad
state of affairs among the Yumas. At

the rules of the tribe, ex.Chief Miguel
was defeated by Jose Pama, son of old

The Calmalli Mines.

San Diego Union: The Calmalli mines
in Lower California, owned by the Ibarra
Mining company, continue to improve
greatly, according to late reports from
that camp. Five mines are being
worked, four of them being already quite
extensively developed by Don Emlllano
Ibarra, their former owner. About lOOO
feet of work in all has been accom-
plished.
The La Playa and Otilia mines have
the deepes workings, the former having
a shaft 200 feet deep and the latter one
nearly 800 feet deep. These shafts are
located on the same vein, about 1900
feet apart. Two valuable inds are re-
ported in two other properties. the San
Juan and San Francisco. The first find
is blind ledge about four feet wide
milling SIS to $40 per ton free gold. The
San Francisco strike was made at the
50-foot level, 50-foot cross drift discov-
ering a 2.foot vein OF exceedingly high
grade ore, come of the specimens run
ming up into the thousands and the
poorest sample going $40 per ton.
About 100 Mexicans are employed in
and about the mines, and an additional
force is to be employed by Supt. M. G.
Rhodes. who leaves here on the Pacheco
Wednesday night for Calmalli, accom-
panied by Mr. Ibarrs and several other
gentlemen. Mr. Rhodes will supervise
the placing of new machinery, and be on
hand at Santo Domingo, the nearest port
to Calmalii, to receive the cargo of the
schooner Amethyst, now en- route from
San Francisco.

Tombstone Prospector: The Missouri
copper group of 13 claims in Middle
pass of the Dragon mountains, are
being developed in a systematic manner
by M. NJ. O'Gorman, who has them
bonded until iiiruary next. 1t is un-
deretood that Dick Gird, of the Chino
sugar ranch. who made his fortune out
of Tombstone mines in early days, is at
the back of Mr.. O'Gorman.
The tunnel which is being run into
the mountain is nearly 20 feet long and
during all this distance has been all in
ledge matter. Some good-sized veins of
black oxide have been encountered,
while the whole distance the
ore will pay to smelt. This tun-
mel will be driven to the distance of 100
feet. 1t was the expectation to strike
the hanging wall before this time, but
no sign OF it has been uncovered. A
great deal OF the ore will run go per cent
copper.
That there is an immense deposit of
copper there has been considered cer-
tainty, but capital to develop it was not
interested until Mr.. E. Sydow located
the properties and interested Mr.. O'Gor-
man in them. A most valuable acquisi-

San Bernardino County Notes.


The Kaleidoscope Last Friday three
English capitalists who are interested in
the Hocomb Valley Gold company ar
rived from England, and are very much
pleased with the prospects,.
The Rose mine has struck the largest
and richest body of ore yet found on the
300-foot Level. They are putting in new
hoisting works, which are working finely.
This facilitates the handling OF ore.
The Black Hawk company is now ne
gotisting with capitalists in England to
work their mine more extensively, and
everything points to speedy conclusion
whereby work will be prosecuted on this
valuable property.
A G. Watts and Oscar Carson are
working on the eastern extension OF the
Rose mine and developing excellent
prospects,. These gentlemen were
among the original finders OF the mine
and made good thing OF it. Their
many friends here will wish them good
luck in their new attempt.
