Fish Story

According to an item in the BaltI-
mo reSun, a demonstration that a
whale could never have swallowed
Jonah, is given on the site of old
Marsh Market, where a whale seventy
feet long is on exhibition beneath a
tent. The throat of the whale, we
are told, is only about five inches in
diameter, and the exhibitor SAYS that
a whales throat is never larger than
that The whale is said to have been
caught in the Arctic sea by the wnaI.
ing steamship Neptune and towed to
the short, where it was chemically
treated and 'embalmed'' in arsenic
ten months being required to com
plete the work. The exhibitor saws
that the whale weighed 10000
pounds when killed; that sixty bar
rels of oil were taken from it's BODY
and 10000 small herring from it's
stomach.

A Chance For All.

This promises to be the greatest
year in mining v e witnessed i'm the
United States, and any mining mar
or investor who fails to get in on
something good before the time ar.
rives to extend New Year greetings
to his friends, cannot lay the blame
to lack of opportunity or to the fact
that the mining industry has been
inactive or dormant. This is espeei.
ally true Of the great State of
Nevada.
In reviewing the conditions of
affairs during the past two years it
is truly surprising to note the wide
spread and extended interest that
has been taken, the world over. in
the industry in this western country.
and the further fact that it is not at
all difficult TO interest capitalists Or
even men of limited means in any
mining enterprise in which / is shown
that there is an ever chance to win
out, and it is truly astonishing to
recall the many who have made for.
tunes IN mining opportunities aud in
yestments within the brief period of
a few months, and what is still more
remarkable IS the fact that these
glowing successes have been made in
the hadiing and Development Of pros
poets, OF mining properties which
were unknown, unheard OF two years
ago, to the number of which almost
daily additions are being made by the
intrepid and untiring p~rospector,
who is continually securing the hills.
the mountain ranges and the canyons
IN search for the repositories Of
Dame Nature.
Unbelief in reported finds does not
rob them Of their worth or merit.
and the reason that so many of them
have been recorded Of late does not
imply that any change in formation
or geological conditions have oc.
Cured, the answer to the skeptical
being that when an army of pros,
pectors invade a mineral section it is
almost morally certain that many
valuable discoveries will be made.
This accounts, in a measure, for
many Of the great finds, the great
excitements and the wonder.
fol mining activity which prevails in
and throughout the many mining
camps of the west, the almost
certain continuance of which means
that this will be the greatest year
mat the mining industry of the
United States has ever experienced.

THE FRUIT CROP.
Snow May Have Saved Roots Of the
Peach Trees.

Des Moines, Feb. 20. - The snow
which covers the ground and protects
the roots of trees from the atmosphere
may be the salvation of the fruit crop
this year. While all the trees are not
subject to harm on account of cold, the
peach trees in southern Iowa are Ii
able to suffer.
Six years ago the cold weather was
even worse than this year. Director J
R. Sage remembers that the peach
trees showed the effects Of the cold
But this year it is possible, he says
that the snow will suffice to make the
damage much less than it might other
wise be.
"The danger lies in the trees freez
ing" says Mr.. Sage. apple and cher
ry trees in this section of the state
may be hurt by the cold. 1t is diff
cult to tell just what the effect will be
so far as roots are concerned. One
man tells me that when the roots are
protected by snow the sap is more
lively, the trunks better fed and kept
greener and consequently more likely
to freeze But the cold weather six
years ago came at a time when the
ground was bare and 1 believe that
much of the subsequent harm was due
to that fact"

MILLER NOT GUILTY.
Former Banker Of New Providence is
Acquitted.

Hampton, Feb. 20. Ed. Miller of
the banking firm of o. E. Miller &
Son of New Providence, was acquitted
on the charge Of fraudulent banking.
The case had been transferred from
the Hardin county court by the defend
ant on the ground that the feeling
there was such that fair and impair.
tial trial could not be secured.
Miller & Son were charged with
having accepted deposits in their bank.
ing institution after they were aware
of its insolvency.
The evidence showed that most if
not all the deposits that were received
by Miller & Son after March 81, 1904
were returned by them and that that
date was probably the first intimation
they had of their insolvency.
The failure of this firm was due to
large overdrafts which they were car.
rying that were practically worthless
They had one account with a stock
buyer of New Providence that was ov.
erdrawn about $4,000 and it has not
been collected.
