A Fish Story.

The latest fish story concerns the
herring and sea gull, and it comes
from Nanaimo. \ boat load of herring
containing about fifteen tons, was left
at Johnston's wharf, Nanaimo, during
the noon hour while the fishermen
went to dinner. During their absence
several thousand sea gulls-the chron-
iclor says 1O,0O0-atc all the fish on one
side of the boat with such good results
that they emptied it, and when the last
herring had been removed from that
side it was like the last straw that
broke the camels back, for the boat,
with all the weight on the other side,
upset. spilllng all the remaining fish

Tattooino Dairy Cattle.

The objection to the ear tag on the
ground that it is easily torn out of the
ear on cattle that run in pasture much
of the time has led to the adoption Of
the tattoo marker by many dairymen
states Iowa Homestead. The operation
is performed by Il tool called the mark
er, practically pinchers. which bears
on one face of the jaws the desired fig
ures or character formed by number
of steel points or needles. The number
is then pressed in the inside of the
calf's ear where the hair is the thin
nest. and the figure formed by the i'm
preston is Immediately smeared or
painted with a special tattoo ink or
paste. This results in filling the needle
holes with the pigment, which dyes the
undc"cuticlc permanently.
1t t. claimed that once the tattoo has
been properly made it will never fade
or grow dim. Calves may be operated
upon when Il few days Old. and the
figure will not be affected by age. The
advantage OF this system is that the
ear is not disfgurcd, and the mark of
the owner is permanent. While the
tag may carry more information pos
sibly than the tattoo. the difference is
not enough to offset the good points of
tattooing.

A New Phase Of Biology.

A widow recently came from.HA lbany
to live with relatives in Brooklyn. Her
new neighbors discovered that she was
given to romancing about small mat

to take the poetic view" of life. But
one of her neighbors was inclined to
use a Shorter and more ugly word
in describing the trait. Among other
things the woman from Albany stated
that her late husband was a biologist
In the states service, presumably at
Albany. Later on it was learned that
he really had been in the states serv-
ice, doing time Mt Sing Sing for small

MoHAVE COUNTY MINES.

J. w. Moore returned the latter part of last week from the Golden Star mines, in San Francisco district. where he made an examination of that prop erty. He reported that a very large body of good grade milling ore had been cut in one of the mines. The Golden Gem mill is running very smoothly on dump ores and making a high grade of concentrates. It is re- ported that SlO0 was being saved daily on the plates. and that concentrates running as high as S5 ounces gold had been taken from the tables.
 l.. Hoffman, superintendent of the Samoan mines, who has been looking at property out from Kingman. de- parted to Chloride Thursday. MT. Hoffman reports that rich ore is being encountered in the lease of the Bir- mingham Leasing company on the Sa- moan mine.
 Superintendent s. R Porter and Foreman Lew Suther, of the Gold Road NJ. & F.. company, passed through here Tuesday last on their way to Mineral Park to make an examination of the mines of James Uncapher and Thomas McNeely. They returned direct to Gold Road after sampling the mines. The properties carry large bodies of cop per-silver ores.
 Woody Alger. who has been doing some work on the McKesson mines at White Hills reports that he opened up good body of ore in the Jim Blaine mine for the company. The ores carry values in gold and silver. The compa- ny is placing stock in Los Angeles and
 it is reported will soon have machin cry on the mines and begin the work of active development.
 F. J. Crane, who is operating the Me Kesson mines south of Kingman, de- parted to Denver this week. While in that city he will make arrangements for the shipment of hoisting machin- cry to place on the mines. Miners who have worked in the mines state that the property shows up big bodies of very rich ore and that they believe they will prove to be among the best mines of the county.
