pay for a mile and a half from its
mouth, though 1t is not equal to the
first claim mentioned.
Now, as to methods used: The dig.
gings are of two classes-summer and
winter. Most of the creeks have a
slight fall and wide bottoms. the gravel
being covered by 1 to 10 feet of muck,
or soil, (not glacial drift). The bed
rock is often twenty feet deep, and
since the ground never thaws more
than 2 or 8 feet from the surface, drains
and bitches are expensive; so each
winter more burning is done, which
consists in thawing the gravel by fire,
removing it and repeating. The muck
thaws but little, and makes a good
roof for drifting. The dumps are
sluiced with the first water in the
spring. Sometimes the creeks do moi
freeze up solid and the water give;
tr0uble-that being the trouble this
year in places where the average TEN
p%erature for the past five weeks wai

of a cold spell-the coolest, As deg. be

Summer diggings are expensive t.

FOghorn Experiments.

A series Of experiments with fog
horns, which will probably result in
systematic investigation, have recently
been made. In one of these a boat
steamed directly toward a lightship
from a distance of four and a half miles.
At two and t~hree-fourths miles the
sound of the horn became audible, and
at two and one-half suddenly increased
in loudness, and held the same inten-
sity until the boat was within two
miles of it.. From one and three
fourths to one and one-half the sound
could scarcely be heard, but after that
it at once increased and became so loud
that it seemed quite close to the YES
sci. Here the steamboat reversed it's
course, and the fl~uctuation was found
to be the same. Again reversing, the
sound disappeared and reappeared
after one and one-half miles, became
entirely inaudible at half a mile, reap
pearing again at a quarter of a mile,
after which it steadily increased until
the lightship was reached.

never be enough for the redemption of

We shall w We this point after the pres
ent and give the following example OF
journal entry which will be posted tn
ledger accounts in the lessons OF the
ledger.
1t will be observed that we have dis
pensed with the unnecessary repetition Of
the word sundries, each entry beginning
with debts.
This is a much clearer manner of enter
ing as all the debts and credits are in
separate columns, and the sum total OF
each column is equal TO the other.
The bookkeepcr is less likely to mako
on error In posting debts and credits and
vice versa by this method.
One especial use OF tho journal is for tho
opening entries that have been made in
the ledger.
When starting business such entries
are tho same az made at tho beginning OF
this set of journal examples.
There are some persons who say that
no entry should be posted To the ledger
without going through the journal. AS
many accountants differ on this point, it
can be left to the taste of tho bookkeeper
when he has gained experience.
We think that many subsidiary books,
correctly ruled, should be posted directly
TO the ledger and the journal left for ad-
justing and closing entries.
Continued next Monday.
