GOLD DISCOVERIES.
Prospectors and Miners Rushing To
Elk City District in Idaho.

Spokane, Wash, March 7.-Pros-
pectors and miners from nearly every
camp in the Northwest are rushing to
the Elk City district IN northern Idaho
and t. Jarbridge. Just south of the
Idaho Nevada state line. where there
is great excitement over recent gold
discoveries. The first named district,
including Elk City, Newsome and
what is known as Ten Mile. was the
Mecca OF placer miners about As
years ago the Wells Fargo Express
company handling more than $4,000
600 in gold. the total output from 1864
to 1871. The early operations were
confined to the shallow bars but
since 1898 there has been considerable
work on the high benches. One COM
pany, of which NJ. II. Hare of Spokane,
is manager, has 742 acres of patented
ground on the old Montana placer in
Newsome camp. and this. engineers
report. contains more than one hun
dred million cubic yards of gold
bearing gravel the lowest average
value being 10 cents yard. The main
deposit is from 1.200 to $500 feet in
width. 5000 feet in length and 800 feet
deep. Experts predict that 80 men will
be employed next season where only
one is at work today and that the
output will be large.

UNDER THE OCEAN.
Things That Happen at the Bottom of
the Sea.

Natufalists dispute as to the quanti-
ty of light at the bottom of the sea.
Animals from below 700 fathoms either
have no eyes or faint indications of
them, or else their eyes are very
large and protruding
Another strange thing is that if the
creatures in the lower depths have any
color il is orange or red or reddish
orange. Sea anemones, corals, shrimps
and crabs have this brilliant color.
Sometimes it is pure red or scarlet.
and in many specimens it inclines to-
ward purple. Not a green or blue fish
is found.
The orange red is the fish's protcc-
ton for the BLUSH green light in the
bottom of the ocean makes the orange
or the red fish appear of neutral
tint and hides it from its enemies
Many animals are black, others neutral
in color. Some fish are provided with
boring tails. so that they can burrow
in the mud.
The surface of the submarine noun
tain is covered with shells, like an or
binary seabeach, showing that 1t is the
feasting place of vast shoals of car
nivorous animals.
a Goldfish takes a whole oyster in
to its mouth, cracks the she'll digests
the meat and elects the shell. Crabs
crack the shells and suck out the
meat. This accounts for whole mounds
of shells that are often found.
Not d fishbone is ever found that
IS not honeycombed by the boring
shellfish and falls to pieces at the
touch of the hand. This shows what
destruction is constantly going on in
these depths.
If a ship sinks at sea with all on
board il will be eaten by fish. with
the exception of the metal and that
will corrode and disappear. Not a
bone Of & human body win remain af-
ter few days.-Phiiadelphia North

Weakening ice May De-

Work Of Clearing Away Rail-
road Bridge wreckage.
New Bridge Will Not Be Started
Until About August.

Some fear is being felt by the contract
bridge on account Of the heavy rain that
is weakening the ice in the Kennebec
river. The American Bridge Co. has made
preparations to finish the iron work OF
the bridge from the ice, but it will be
impossible to do this unless there is more
cold weather in the next two weeks than
there has been in the last week. The ice
is growing thinner and the contractors
have already moved all iron from the ice
for fear that it may go out The crew
finished the first 1JO-foot span Saturday.
1t will take two weeks for the next span,
which Is 800 feet long.
A crew arrived in Skowhegan Monday
to begin the work Of removing the iron
wreckage Of the new railroad bridge that
went out with the freshet of few weeks

this iron work can be replaced in build
ing the new bridge. The new bridge will
not be built until August of this year,
after the rear of the log drive goes
down.

Music batons were first used in Eng
land about 1920. 1t was not until ten
or twelve years later, however. that
the baton came into general use. A
German conductor who welded one
produced such wonderful results with
his orchestra that it was thought there
must be some magic power in the
baton, and it consequently became
popular with conductors all over the
country. Before the advent of the
baton time was kept by the first VIC
linist or by the pianist.
