Corroslon of Alumlnlu m.

Aluminium, for which such brill
liant future has been predicted, seems
to be disappointing many who had
hoped to make extensive use of it.
Makers of telephones are likely to
abandon it altogether, rs it is claimed
that the human breath corrodes it.
When first it was put upon the market
it was said that it was absolutely nom
corrodible, and that even the strong
est chemicals had no effect upon it.
1t appears that altogct ther too much
has been claimed for it, as it is easily
indented, and if the theory of breath
injury bears the test of experiment. it
will certainly be affected by vegeta-
BILE acids. and would also make an ad-
mirable transmitter of disease as we'll
as sound. In case of the failure OF
this metal. it will be in order for sci.
entists to seek out some other metal
or evolve some other substance over
which ordinary acids have no power.

After time. by some Of the curious
processes of adaptation provided by
nature, the creature took to the water

These members still retain many of
their original characteristics, having
bones with joints like those in the

bones and rays, is a mass of cartilage.
The sense of smell is precisely like
that in the mammals. and the still
further resemblance is noted in that it

that little doubt is any longer enter
tanned by scientific opinion in China
as to the Importance of the discovery
by Prof Kitasato of bacillus in the

A FABULOUS GOLD DISCOVERY.

A Mountain of Rich Ore Discovered at

All Carson was agog yesterday over
n most fabulous strike of gold which
was made last Saturday in the Zirn-
Shultz mine Mt Pine Nut, says the Vir.
ginia City Enterprise.
At depth of 75 feet Zirn ran into
an ore body that to all appearances
was half gold. In two hours he took
ont 5000 in fine gold, and during the
day extracted ore that seemed to be
half gold and which is estimated to be
worth $l,4OO.
Mr.. Zlrn, who brought the ore and
the gold into Carson Wednesday night.
claims that there is fully twenty feet
of the fabulously rich ore in sight. II
so Messrs. Zirn and Shultz will be In
dependently rich men within a fort.
night. They have already taken out
$1,000 in groupings of this vein from
hole not more than six feet in depth.
The Carson Tribune has enthused to
a wonderful degree over the strike,
and in their account of the find pub
lished the following: This wonderful
strike will no doubt attract mining
men and capitalists to Pine Nut from
all sections Of the coast, as it is proof
that n gold deposit of mammoth pro-
portions exists Mt Pine Nut. The strike
means renewed life for Carson and all
Western Nevada. 1t makes every body
feel go6d, and already property In Car
son has gone up 25 per cent"
There are number of persons
throughout the state who have claim
Mt Pine Nut and they are all elated at
the prospects there. Among these Is
NJ. G. Gardner, whe came up to the
Comstock and Carson Wednesday. He
has three claims neighboring the Zirn-
Schulz claim. One of these claims IL
Immediately adjacent to the claim, up
on which the strike was made. The
found is the westerly of three veins
which are clearly defined by crop
pings. Two of these veins have al
ready been opened up, namely the east
ern and the western veins. A shaft
has also been sunk on a stringer Of the
middle vein which resulted In finding
ore assaying $40. The westerly vein,
upon which the Zirn-Shulz claim Is
located, has already been shown, to
have a length Of 5000 feet The loose
surface dirt in little gully 200 feet
south from the spot where the Zirn.
Schulz gold is located, pans about $50
Mt the point where the gully crosses
the vein and gradually depreciates
low. The rich vein is decomposed
brown iron and quartz containing en-
tirely free gold, with occasionally
small quantities of native silver.
Mr.. Gardner is going to Pine Nut
in few days, and contemplates conf
mencing extensive work on his claims
as soon MS there is snowfall, possibly
before The nearest water to these
veins is that of Anderson creek, at q
distance of about two miles.
