In the Scandinavian myth Of the ORR
gin Of woman, Odin, viii and We, the
three sons Of Dor, were walking along
the seabeach, when they found two
sticks of wood, one OF ash and Of
elm. Odin and his brothers were gods,
Of course, but the sight Of the stick

A UNIQUE Mining Outat.

Henry Spencer, a Colorado miner, is
fitting out q small naphtha launch for a
novel prospecting tour. He intends to
work the bottom of the Sacramento river
above Redding. and he is confident that
his venture will prove successful. The
launch is 40 feet long and ID propelled
with an eight horsepower engine. In
the bow of the boat he has placed q pc
culiar pump, which was constructed
from his own design. The pump will be
operated by the engine, and it Is calcu-
lated to suck mp the mud from the bot
tom OF the river and throw it on q sluice
which runs the full length OF the boat
above the cabin and extends far enough
over the stern to throw all the refuse
back into the river. The pump ID pow
