shortly to the Cave creek flood con- trol board.
 The mining board is composed of Dean G. M. Butler of the college of mines and engineering of the state university: Charles F. Willis. editor of the Arizona Mining Journal, and E. E. Whiteley of Warren. chief en- gineer of the C and A. mining com pany. :.

alternating Fishes.

. Cold weather has Il marked effect
on some Of the fresh water fish at
the aquarium Of the New York Zoologl'
cal society. When the temperature
Of the fresh water flowing through the
tanks Of the aquarium falls below 40
degrees, certain fish become very
sluggish. The young yellow perch lie
quietly at the bottom Of the tank,
as evenly spaced as if put there by
their: keeper, and take little food. A
low. temperature affects young black
bass in quite different way. They
stay poised somewhere above tho bot
tom, but crowded close together. Fifty
or more will often gather in a COM
pact mass, all facing in the same d.
rection. The aquarium has several
tanks Of young black bass, all groups
of which show the same curious habit.

SHARKS TAKEN OFF NEW YORK
Their Capture Said to Have Been a
Regular Thing Prior to and
During Year 1915.

A shark nowadays even on the most
exposed beaches Of New York and the
metropolitan area is rarity and
curiosity, but there was time when
these fish used to be caught off Cath
arine slip. says the New York Sun.
This was about 1916, when the fishing
smacks and fish cars used to unload
and load off this wharf in the East
river and the dead fish thrown out into
the water used to attract the sharks.
An old man, Sam Way, 4 porter IN
the old ~Catharine market, earned q
reputation as master shark catcher.
SHARK around the Slip" was the
cry that was raised when a shark was
sighted off the. pier and then Sam
would drop his broom and put out his
chain hook and soon would have tho
giant fish struggling on the dock. He
Is said to have hauled in as many as
. seven In one day, some Of them four.
teen feet long
Devoe, the historian, tells an incl
dent which is passed on herewith with
out confirmation:
zone day Sam hooked big one and
he climbed into a skiff which luy tied
to the end Of the slip; the shark took
to pulling and broke loose the skiF
with Sam in, and away he went down
the river at race-horse speed, nearly
as far as Red Hook before he tired
out, or Sam could hold him up. He,
however, mastered him and brought
him back, and Sam after that con-
cluded not to be run away with again.
So he stuck to the raft or dock when
he fishcd for Shark thereafter"
