fisHlNG NOT NEARLY so GOOD
WITH HOOK AND LINE SOME
THING KILLED THE FISH.

WITH HOOK AND LINE-SOIE-
THING KILLED THE FISH.
Several New Castle sportsmen and
local lovers OF rod and tackle report
that fishing in the Delaware and Chesa-
peake canal at present is not up to the
standard, although there are some good
catches made occasionally. The weather
for week or more has been such as to
spoil the best of fishing, and the bass
and yellow perch VIII not take to any
kind Of bait The herring are still in
the canal, and as long as these remain
the FISH cannot be expected TO bite, for
just now they can find plenty Of her
ring spawn on which to feed.
The peculiar thing that happens every,
year among the fish Is occurring just at
present The herring are dying by the
thousands, and apparently there Is no
cause. Thousands OF dead fish can be
seen floating on the water every day.
Old fishermen know no exact cause, but
some claim that the space is not large
enough for the herring 20 lie in. II Is
believed that this wholesale slaughter
is not caused by any Impurities in the
water. for the other fish do not die, and
II will be an. interesting problem for
some TO solve.
Rev George S. Gassner, the Episco-
pal rector at Delaware City, who Is one
of the most enthusiastic and successful
fishermen In that part OF the state, has
studied the question, but says he is as
far from a solution as ever. It is a
yearly occurrence, and the wholesale
deaths occur just after and while the
herring are spawning.
Rev. Mr. Gassner and a friend made
catch Of forty-eight bass and pike in
one day some time ago, but now the
fsh do not seem to be running. In the
lower level, that is, between st.
! Georges and the Delaware railroad
bride and In the vicinity Of the large
feeder, the fishermen are meeting with
better success, but III is nothing to boast
Of The bass at present are apparently
leading a luxurious Mfe on the herring
spawn, and about the only fish that are
being caught in any quantity are the
yellow neds," but catches OF these can
not be spoken OF as a certainty.
Salt water fishing along the Della
ware bay shore particularly between
Cedar Beach and Lewes, Is quite gooc
at present. Reports received during the
week show that large numbers OF sea
| trout. also known as weak fish, are be-
ing caught at nearly every place alonf
the bay, but this kind OF fishing has
been excellent at Lewes and othei
places around the Delaware Break
water. Some sea bass are being caught
buk the big run of these has not com
menced.
. The sturgeon fishing season at Ceda'
. Beach and the mouth Of the Mispillioi
) river has been rather poor so far, &C
/ cording to what the fishermen say, bu
phey report that the catches are nov
J improving, and that they may yet b.
Z able to make a little money.

half mile to leeward, being swamped by a
tidal wave, which the Hazeltine rode in
safety On drifting down to where ship dis
appeared, found one man clinging to spar,
and having bad cut in head. He afterwards
signed articles as Jack Servenmalet, cooper
and carpenter. Never fully recovered men

reading of the item, and when it was done
said:
''The Henrietta Hazeltine, whaler, me

After few minutes he turned on his

again and lay perfectly still. The sur
geon looked alarmed now and hastily felt
of his pulse. There was none III wrist or
temple, nor could any beating of the
heart be felt. Jack Servenmalet had gone
to meet the crew of the missing Nucleus.
He was dead.

Mr.. E. H. Denslow of New York said to
writer for the Tammany Times:
1.-The bushels of nuggets that are found
on the bed rock of placer deposits int1ame
the public mind and cause thousands to
rush in unprepared for the profitable
working of the gold bearing gravels
through which the larger nuggets have
filtrated. This is the reason why all new
diggings present The anomalous condition
of enriching few lucky ones who hap
pen to make strikes of enormous rich
ness, while turning away thousands who
are not SO fortunate and who go unpre-
pared for the more certain washing by n.y.
draulic giants of all the gold bearing
gravel.
1.-THE history of gold placer mining in
California will be repeated in the expert
ence that awaits Alaska.
eve are now having the first stages of
the excitement resulting from the sudden
wealth that has overtaken the few for
tunate ones who happened to strike bed
rock covered with the precious nuggets.
''Then will come the scientific washing
of all the gold bearing gravels by the n.y.
draulic giants. This requires capital but
is more certain in its results, for gravel
carrying only ten cents of gold to the
cubic yard means returns CT millions of
dollars to the company that can afford to
properly hydraulic the gold bearing sands.
''The discovery of the pockets of mug
gets is proof positive of the existence of
rich gold-bearing quartz from which these
nuggets have been torn; it is proof posi-
tive of the existence of immense deposits
of gold bearing gravel through which
these nuggets have been sifted.''

Ashes of Roses.

What though the lilies may wither and die
And life's music be hushed with sob and a
sigh,
Still may we gather ere the day closes
Near to our bosoms, ashes of roses.
What though the flowers we have gathered
in youth,
Culled from the gardens of freshness and
truth,
Fade in our clasp, as the long twilight
closes?
Still their remains to us, ashes of roses.
When in life's west fades forever the light,
And DER our pathway hushed falls the night,
Still subtle in fragrance as the day closes
All that remains behind, ashes of roses
Earth unto earth and dust unto dust,
Buried from sight for aye, love, hope and
trust,
Yet waiting backward, ere the day closes,
Sweetest of incense, ashes of roses.
Ashes of roses. Ger an infinite sea
Islands of gladness look we to thee!
Something immortal our clear faith dis
closes,
Sweeter, far sweeter, than ashes of roses
