B1rLLHEADs WITHOUT HOOKS.
Robbing For Them With Square Bits
of Pork.

Bobbing For Them With Square BITS
of Pork.
| The best rod to catch 'bullheads
with is a good right hand. An old UNI
brella handle fakes a nice pole. Any
niece of stick, from a section OF a par
! relstaye to a baseball bat. is good
enough Cor this kind of fishing. The
line should be fairly stout line of any
cn1or or kind, The hook shouldn't be
hook There are fishermen, rank
amateurs in the noble art OF "yankin
ont "b,lllheads" who use hooks in the
business. but they are new at the Trick.
The "bullhead," as has before been
remarked. has three horns connected
with his anatomy, any one OF Whlch Is
woful sharp and decidedly painful When
inserted in an anglers frame. Ihese
horns are shifted from side 70 side by
the wrirgline of the fish The bullhead
when hoisted from his native heath
twists a great deal when you try to re-
move him from the hook. And he mas
an awkward fashion of swallowing the
bait clear down to the end Of his tail.
IF YOU get one of these horns into
YOUR hands it is one of the most painful
and ugly of hurts. 1t may swell up
and cripple your hand for week or
more. and 1t stings and throbs and
makes you mad With those three
horns, each pointing a different way,
1t is delicate job to get the "bullhead"
on the barb without getting horned"
But how easily all this veXation and
possible pain is avoided by the knowing
seeker after "bulheads" He simply
ties a square chunk of fat pork to tho
end of a line and lower it, with noise
less movement, into the water, Then,
when the unsuspecting an gladdened
"bullhead" swallows the pork down to
the end of his Remembered tail, a
gentle "heave-yo" is made and the sur
prised fish begins to ascend from his
turgid retreat. The flavor of the pork
is very dear to him, and his stubborn
ness is one of his marked characteris-
tics, as is also his lack of perceptive
faculties-whence the name ''buIlhead."
So he hangs on to the fat and is up
out of the water before he realizes the
situation. A gentle jerk or a moderate
~ brisk one, and the smooth bait slides
out of his body and he fGps helplessly
at the feet of the fisherman, who, with
appropriate ghoulish glee, takes him |
gingerly by his tail and drops him into
a convenient basket.
And even thus the armored and stub
born "bullhead" may be and, indeed, is
and the weapons nature
has provided him with made useless by |
the wiles of man, Therefore leave all !,
fancy paraphernalia of rod and reel, |
of fly-book and landing net, of bait can |
and minnow bucket, at home when YOU |
go forth to capture the unsophisticated |
'bullhead. Chicago Record.

Mining Stock Speculation.

Instances arr numerous in the west
where a few dollars have brought to the
fortunate investor many times the origi

rolling and to glye the cheerful "liars"

We do not call to mind, that is to say
within the past lew years, an instance
where greater prcf's have been shown
than in the sale OF 10 900 shares Of the
Republic Gold Mining company's stock
10 Butte this week. The spe ciaI block OF
stock was bought less than two years ago
at six cents a share Since that time no
assessment we're levied, the owner re-.
ceiving dividends up to date OF selling
the sum Of ,200$, and for the stock sos
per share, or a total OF SO 2J0s. This on
an original invest nent OF COOS, we con
slider pretty fair investment even for
mining stocks. We snxiously await to

An institution capable OF teaching

are made by speculstions, though not one

they speculate as a diversion and that Is
one OF the reasons why the keen one
achieves such success He knows his

out OF mining stocks.

Lately it has appeared that, owing to
the large sectional area Of wire required

comparatively large weight. and there
fore additional expense that aluminium
has been not only sug gested hut used in
the place of copper.
While it's electrical conductlvity lie not
so great as that Of copper, yet it appears
that. owing to it's low specific gravity, it
is likely to become successful conpeti-
tor Of copper.
As is well known the science, as We
might call it, Of alloys is in it's infancy,
and very likely aluminium will play an
important part in our metal mannfac-
lures in future years, especially is this
true when We consider how enormou
has been our growth within the last
twenty years
Even ten years ago il would have
sounded ridiculous to have predicted that

The s'stement has appeared lately that
an alloy of sluminum and zinc Possesses
not only the strength OF cast iron, but is
much more elastic, and by it's easy flow
ing quality when melted, and it's non
shrinking quality when cooling, is desir
able for castings.
Recently We note also the increasing
demand for aluminium by an order by
