NINE LOCATING BATTERY.
Prof. kimbail's New Apparatus at
Work

(From the Nevada City Transcript
Professor L. j. Kimban, the inventor
and operator of a magneto-electric bat

the metals they contain is now visiting

Colonel J. w. Guthrie of Sacramento.
who are interested in the working of
the invention and are here to witness
a practical test of the apparatus.
These gentlemen have been here two or
three days and have already made a
few tests of the contrivance on different
mining claims in this neighborhood, all
Of which have proven very satisfactory

cerned. In one instance a mine five or
six miles from this city was passed over
and its character determined by the ac-
uion of the instrument. The report given
by Professor KimbalI as the result of
the experiment was surprise to the
managers of the mine, who say that
they could not have given a better de-

The inventor does not class his inven-
tlon with the so-called divining rods,
'hoOdoos" and like appliances that have
in the past attracted more or less atten-
ton from mining men all over the coun-
try. Professor Kimball says the appa-
ratus is conducted upon principles well
known to scientific men, and that its
working depends entirely upon natural

CANADA'S WEALTH IN FISH.
The Dominion Commissioner of Fisheries
Talks About 1t.


"BullheadS are coming to the front"
was the somewhat unexpected announce
ment made by Prof. Prince in his lecture
before the Royal society on the resources
of Canadian fisheries. Prof. Prince is
the dominion commissioner of fisheries.
This bullhead or mudpout industry, Prof.
Prince said, he could not exactly vouch
for. but he was told that in the estuaries
of the great lakes the fish was now being
taken in large quantities by methods far
removed from the primitive angling out
tit of the small boy, and, though the
whltehsh output is estimated at $1,000
600, the bullhead promises we'll. He un-
derstood that the bullheads were fixed up
and appeared on the tables of American
hotels as mountain trout"
The professor then went on to tell of
the enormous wealth of the Canadian
fisheries, which, estimated at S20,00O.0OO
0 0dn ody he believed, would reach $50,
100000 If we take into account the
quantity consumed by settlers, Indians
and others, of which no statistics were
available. The Pacific coast. with its
10000 miles of coast line; the Atlantic
coast, the great lakes, the smaller lakes
small only by comparison with the
great lakes: the st. Lawrence. Macken-
Zle, Red, Peace. and other rivers: the
Hudson bay, with its yet undiscovered
treasures, were dealt with by the lee
turer. and then he proceeded to tell of
the fisheries branch of the government,
which aims to develop and protect this
ever-gr0wing industry.
In describing the many forms of nets
used in capturing fish. Prof. Prince said
that fish have not great amount of in
telligence, or they would often get out of
the traps that were set for them. OF the
deep seas area. the lecturer eStima ted it
to yield about S10,000,00O per annum.
He gave an interesting account of the
cod, halibut, mackerel, herring, and lob
ster fishing, and remarked that some of
these were being depleted owing to the
excursions Of foreigners with methods of
catching that were extremely destruc-
tive. Shad fishing, he anticipated, would
soon be a thing of the past unless proper
measures were taken to preserve it, and
this could only be done after very great
consideration, as the shad is now
source of large income to many fisher
men.
Large striped bass, caught in scoop
nets through the ice, realize more per
pound than do salmon. Lake Winnipeg
yields 1900 tons of whitefish annually

An Apple Night Cap.

In August summer apples will have
ripened, and everybody ought to know
that the very best thing he can do is to
eat apples just before retiring for the
night. Persons uninitiated in the mys-
teries Of the fruit are liable to throw
up their hands in horror at the visions of
dyspepsia which such a suggestion may
summon up, but no harm can come even
to a delicate system by the eating of
ripe and juicy apples just before going
to bed. The apple is excellent brain
food, because it has more phosphoric
acid in easily digested shape than any
other fruits. 1t eXcites the action of
the liver, promotes sound and healthy
sleep and thoroughly disinfects the
mouth. This is not all. The apple helps
the kidney secretions and prevents cal
culous growths, while it obviates indiges-
ton and is one of the best known pre-
ventives of diseases of the throat One
of the best known of older physicians
of Providence has the custom of eating
one, two, three or four apples before
going to bed, and finds himself much
benefited thereby.-Bulletin of Phar-

While prospecting on the Blue noun
tains, in New Jersey, almost opposite the
Delaware Water Cap, Henry Written
and II. 0. Trasue came upon what has
since been pronounced by experts to be
silver ore. The men had been looking
for traces of lead ore, in which the
mountains are said to be rich. The parts
they were traversing were very wild,
and they almost walked upon a nest
of rattlesnakes. The reptiles showed
fight. and with sticks the two prospectors
killed ffty-siX and put the others to
flight. In their lair Trasue discovered
some crystals, which his companion pro-
nounced a combination of silver and ar
senic. The specimens were sent to
Prof. Johnson of Princeton college, who
returned them in a few days stating that
the mineral was rich in silver.-Phila-

1t is wrong to suppose that they have

from beyond the divide with less than

with dust worth from that amount all
the way up to $4,000 or $4,000 The
two men that came out broke were a
couple of fellows l staked. They had
bad luck. Their WaterWheelS were car
ried away in frcshet and they lost
what they had. The fact that the min
ers always go back again speaks well
for the Yukon region. All of them do
better than they could in the same time
anywhere else. A man come into Juneau
the other day with seventy-six pounds
of gold dust, the result Of two seasons in
the Yukon region. Mail carriers get 81
apiece for carrying letters between Jul
neau and the Yukon mines. They usual
ly make up a package OF. about 800 let,
ters for a trip. The miners that will
stay in that region can work up till the
middle of October, but those who are
coming out will have to quit work
month earlier in order to cross the di-
vide before the heavy SHOWS. Juneau is

There have been several marriages of
late between college professors and stu

married pupils. The principal of a New

Rryn MaWr has not been exempt from
this influence of the tender god. and

were united in wedlOck-going to show
that cO-education is not a failure. The
recent fate of a college girl. who killed
herself because she could find no one

will discover, when they arrive at the
feminine age corresponding to the bach

yearn for the joys Of domesticity. for the
quiet and peace of home. and they will
find themselves devoid of the charms
that win husband. 1t is for the benefit
