 c. H. Akers, chief of the fire de- pertinent, appeared and submitted a proposition to the council for 8 system of electric fire alarms at a cost of $1750 for the system, or a monthly rental of $S5 per month for a period of five years. The com munication was from R. c. Lowell of Phenix, and addressed to the city through Mr. Akers. No action was taken on this matter, however.
 Chief Akers also made a plea on behalf of the department for fre and was Instructed to make out list of suitable coats and hats necessary.
 John Sorg appeared before the co neil and said his addition was being depopulated in consequence of the enforcing of the recent ordi- nance against the demimonde of the city, and backed up with two petitions-one from the outsiders and one from the irterested-asked it's repeal.

The greatest activity is reported
 in mining in the southwestern part of this county in all of the districts. The JOURNAL MINER has it from
 reliable sources that the sale of
 the Bullard mine may now be an
 assured fact. MT. Kelly, and his ex-
 pert who have been out there for
 some time have returned to Chica-
 go. Prior to leaving they made a
 mill run of fifty tons of ore from
 the mine and expressed themselves
 highly pleased with the result. A
 party of six men are now engaged in the survey and location of pipe line from Date creek to the mine, a distance of from eighteen to twenty
 four miles. They will put up plant at the niue for the reduction of the ore on the ground. The opening up of thls mine, the construction of the pipe line and the erection of plant necessary for the reduction of the ore, means an outlay of S250,000 to S400,000, and in addition to the em- ployment which will be given means also a large traffic for the $. F. &. P. F. railroad. The construction of a new wagon road to the mine IS also under consideration, which will shorten the distance from the rail road to about twenty miles, the pre- sent distance being twenty-eight miles.
 J. c. Rankin, superintendent of Waters mine in the Santa Maria dis trict expects to start up work on that property agaln within the next few days.
 Mir. Strong has also bonded a mine in the Santa Maria district, and ex- poets to put up a mill at once and work the mine for all 1t is worth.
 Superintendent Boyce of the Des- ert mine sixty miles west of Con. gress Junction continues develop ment work on that property, and expects to be able very soon to dem- onstrate whether it will justify the expense of putting in a pipe line eight miles in length. The proper ty is looking splendidly at present and If 1t continues the pipe lins will built and the mill started up.
 The Congress Gold Company has recently made some very extensive additions to their plant, and have still others under consideration. This company has had a regular and steady increase 60 their output for the past two years and are still to further increase 1t. The camp is growing rapidly and work on other claims in the immediate vicinity is being actively pushed.
 A. Falco continues to work day and night shifts on the claim he has ! under bond and lease, which is an extension of the Congress lead.
 Several new and rich strikes are in Weaver district and the | is full of prospectors and | and quite number of min ing men have recently been attract ed to that section,
 A capitalist named Hayden re- gently picked up a very promising from a man named Lyons, paying $l0,00O, and has already put 3 force of men at work developing 1t.
 The PlS2et- Saturn company is still running it's plant, but will add many improvements to it in the nea- future.
 Considerable excitement has been created by the rich strike recently naoe by Mir. Crow in one of the Peterson claims, mention of which ass been previously made in these columns. The ore is said to run as nigh as $l0,000 per ton in gold. While these figures may not be cor rect there is no doubt that it is fab-

CATS TAIL A CONDUCTOR.
Experience of Two Northampton
Young Men Interrupted.


Lewis e. Warner is an enthusiastic
young electrician, and delights in ex-
perimenting with the "harnessed light
ming" says the Northampton Herald
His originality in such work has led
him into many queer experiences, and
he has sometimes been shocked by
the fluid when he least expected to be
used as a conductor. But the most in
teresting and amusing episode in which
he has figured, and which deserves high
rank among unusual pranks of cleo
tricity, occurred several days ago, while
Mr.. Warner and a friend were expert
menting with the X-rayS and the flurO-
scope. They looked at a great variety
of objects, animate and 1nanimate, and
had unusual success in seeing through
material and tissue that is perfectly
Opaque under ordinary light. A hen
was one of the living objects examined
under the rays, and the bones were
clearly seen through feathers and flesh.
Finally a cat was chosen for examin-
alton, and thereby hangs the tale, or
perhaps more accurately, the tail that
figures in the tale.
Those acquainted with electrical ap-
paratus and the action of electrical cur
rents know that the induction coil,
which forms an important part of the
X-ray apparatus, has two poles, one
positive, the other negative, and that
consequently when an electric current
passes through the coils sparks will
leap back and forth between these poles
and make loud cracking noise, some
times like pistol shots. If any object
that is conductor of electricity hap
pens to get too near the poles the cleo
trio spark will jump to the object and
the attending current will pass off into
the earth through the object. Mr.. War
ner and his fellow experimenter having
determined to look through the cat,
proceeded to the experiment. The friend
held kitty between the Crookes tube

and the Horoscope while Mr.. Warner
managed the electric current at the in
duction coil. Kitty evidently did not
understand the strange light, and she
certainly did not like the cracking
noise. She began to protest by very
energetic wriggling in the effort to es-
cape, and as an accompaniment dashed
her long tail about in the most APP
proved STYLE of enraged kitties. Had
she kept that apDendage still, all would
have been we'll. In an extra effort to
defeat the further progress of scien-
tific research into her anatomy, the
cat svished her tail close to the poles
of the induction coil and immediately
became the central figure in surprise
party. With gleeful craclle the cleo
tricity jumped from one pole Of the coil
TO the TAIL and a little electric spark
marked the end of each hair. 1t was
brilliant spectacle. but only Mr.. War
ner appreciated that feature, for both
the cat and the person who held her
received a shock that established be-
tween them common bond of SYM
pathy and they instantly became quite
attached to each other. The attachment
was momentary, however, for in the
violent compotion that followed the
shock the connection between the tail
and the pole of the induction coil was
broken. and the experimental was glad
to release kitty, whose restless appen
dage had suddenly assumed the ap-
pearance of a feather buster. The cat
made a leap for liberty and caused a
alighting in a box of 20 incandescent
electric light bulbs and breaking II of
them with a noise like the explosion

A Memorial to the Great Naturalis

A Memorial to the Great Naturalist.
Unique indeed will be the memorial
by which English naturalists propose to
honor the gentle memory of Gilbert
White, author of the Natural History
of Selborne' Near the little village of
Selborne, which White has immortal
lied in his charming book, lies the for
est OF Woolmer. in ancient times a
royal hunting preserve, and still crown
property. 1t has been practically de-
cided that the nation shall assume di
rect control of this copse-clad tract and
turn e into what may be styled an
asylum for the wild beasts, birds and
insects Of England. The British orni-
biological society has the work in hand,
and it is stated that the government
locks faVorably upon the proposed
white Forest of WoOlmer," as the
beautiful memorial is to be called.
The forest is to be surrounded by a
series of defenses sufficient to keep out
all unwelcome intruders. At the main
entrance will stand a statue of Gilbert

CHRISTMAS MEMORIES.

CWritten for The Herald)
[ hear no Christmas carols; nor peal of
merry bells;
See no happy ragged urchins catching
pennies from the swells;
See no pageantry and glitter that we were
wont to see
When we heard the bells of England ring
grandly, merrily;
For we are always roaming; but be Eng
land far or near,
An English heart is with me, for thou art
ever here.
[ miss the groups of children, with rosy,
dimDled cheeks;
The entertaining Snowman with Punch
and Judy freaks:
The hurry and the hustle OF dear old
Lun non Town.
The pictures of the baby king, who had
no jeWeled crown;
I miss the midnight voices that rang out
so sweet and clear;
but do not miss the English heart, for
thou art ever here.
The mistletoe and holly are not so fresh
as when
We stood within the building that immor-
talizes Wren;
Nor are the flowers as lasting-tho' the
colors be as gay
AS those we used to gather on a summer
Christmas day
In loyal, bright Australia, where come no
winters drear
Land where l won an English heart that
still is with me here.
I miss the land of sunshine, where cloud
less azure dome ao
Is ieweled with the Southern Cross that
proudly calls it home;
Long for the sandy beaches, where at
Christmas eve the sea
Reflects the peaceful Southern Cross
Gods sign of Liberty.
But no matter what my longings; no mat
ter what my sphere,
Thank God 1 have an English heart for
ever with me here

Scares a Populist.

Washington Post: With a view to
preventing the would-be immigrant to
this country any unnecessary expense
and trouble, Senator Kyle, the Populist.
of South Dakota, proposes that what
ever test shall be deemed necessary to
a restriction upon immigration shall be
applied by the consul at the port
from which the immigrant proposes to
depart. Senator Kyle yesterday en-
larged upon the advantages of this
scheme, and in the course of his re-
marks said that he knew of case
where an immigrant, upon being asked
to recall the constitution of the United
States, was seized with stage fright
because of new faces and new sur
roundings, and failed.
''I don't know about immigrants.
said Senator Chiffon, who was sitting
close by, "but am sure that the read
ing of the constitution would give any
Populist the stage fright.
