MANY FISH IN ONE POOL.
Sharks. Big Drumflsh. Great Turtles and
sturgeon All in Constant Motion.

The great central pool at the Aquarium
now contains greater number of large
specimens OF marine life than was. at any
one tirne. ever before shown In II. Tho list
Includes upward Of a dozen ANAL sharks.
drumfsh weighing from sixty to seventy
pounds apiece. :, six foot sturgeon and two
big loggerhead turtles. the arger OF which
is FIVE feet in length and weighs about 400
pounds
There are In the pool besides, four dog
fish. thirty or forty sea bass. lot of black
fish and some other smaller fishes. while
swimming about in the surface gater may
be seen schoals Of little dllies, In striking
contrast to their larger finny brothers in
caphvi ty.
The water in the pool is kept al a tenn
perattlre of about 10 degrees. which makes
IL comfortable for all its inhabitants. and
these are all the time in motion. The
sharks swim ceaselessly. as is their habit
and often near the surface, their dorsal
fins dividing the water, in fact. and rising
above it, Frequently a shark whose body
cannot be seen in the distance can be fol-
lowed by its dorsal fin, seen rising above
and steadily and noiseleesly cutting the
water as il swims.
The sharks are most likely 10 circle the
poo continuously. but the big drumfish,
Of courses around and across lots. The big
sturgeon goes everywhere in various direc-
tons, too. but it has a sturdy grace in it's
movements.
IN nature the sturgeon Is a great jumper,
and It IL an able and powerful swimmer.
II has great strength In its long, hard. spare
body, and when il throws its tail An over
TO one side or the other in changing ito
course. Il a lInost seems as though it nu b
have running through its body flexible
but stout steel spring. A hsh of great
power and with every appearance OF 1t
the sturgeon
The big loggerhead turtles are interesting
in another way, and they are certain 20 be
surprising to anybody who has never seen
great turtles anywhere except in pens or
In pools not big enough for them TO swim in.
Here the big turtles swim about freely
and they arc far from clumsy in movement
and they make good Roadway, using their
great hippers as fins.
Being an air breathing animal the turtle
when IN the water must occasionally thrust
its head above the surface for air. as these
two big loggerheads do here. II il strik-
ing, almost startling sight when. like a
big cocoanut, the head of the larger Of tho
two great loggerheada Gomez up. the little
body OF displaced water falling away from
it on either side az 1t rises. Keeping it up
so for moment. the big turtle then drops
its head again into line with its body and
keeps moving on its course.

AERIAL CRAFTSMAN RETURNS
Captain Baldwin ls Well Satisfied with
Arshlp Development at Port
land EXPOSITION

Capt T. s. Baldwin, builder of the
California Arrow, the city of Port
land and other aerial craft, returned
to Los Angeles yesterday from Port
land, where he spent the summer.
Baldwin had the City of Portland. his
latest idea in airship construction. on
exhibition at the fair and according to
his statement was highly successful.
The chauffeur of the machine was
Lincoln Beachey, an 1S-year-old San
Francisco boy. On the flights of the
ship from the aerodrome, in the exposi-
ton grounds, he ascended from pair
of saw horses, and after describing a
circle over the city, brought the ma
chine back to the same spot from which
it started.
The City of Portland is smaller
craft than the California Arrow, which
was on exhibition In Los Angeles last
winter, and Capt. Baldwin says that
1t is far more dlrigible than the larger
shin.

ACTIVITY IN BULLFROG
Erection of a Custom Mill to Cost
100000 Is Decided Upon-Great
Mining District

Numerous Los Angeles people inter
ested in the holdings of the Bullfrog
Townsite, Water and Ice company will
be pleased to learn that at a meeting
of the company directory held a few
days ago I'm San Francisco it was
decided to Immediately erect a custom
mill in Bulfrog at cost of about $780,
900. There are many evidences of ad-
vancement at Bullfrog. The Wells
Fargo Express company has opened
an office for the Bullfrog district. The
Tonopah, Goldfield' & Bullfrog railroad
company has its surveyors on the
ground at Bullfrog surveying for the
depot yardage and shop sites. The
road Is to be built as rapidly as pos
sible. A number of the companies own
ing mining properties on Montgom-
cry mountain have adopted the leasing
system. Among those who have Sc
cured privileges are John Y. McKane,
Jack Campbell and II. L. Oddie. The
leasing system will mean the employ
ment of hundreds of miners and a
great influx of operators and capital
for the town of Bullfrog and the entire
district This section of Nevada prom
ises to become the greatest mining dis
trict in the west.
