 Ese Local packers of herring and sal mon at Golovin Bay and Teller had a fairly good year, their output being slightly larger than last year. Her ring is abundant in the vicinity of Golovin Bay, Mr. Reed said, but they do not show up until late in the sea- son and the freezeup occurs before the packers can utilize the fish

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, March 12 N9.-

The blue-blooded mollusk is direct

its peak in 1910 and has been dwind-

ACTUAL
OF
BOOM GOLD CAMP

TONOPAH, Ney., March 2 QP).-The
badger is in a fair way to lend him
self to the yet-to- be- conceived symbol
of the new gold boom camp of Wee
pah, in the hills 40 miles northwest of
here. The big find, which started this
camp, was made by digging down into
a badger hole. In the legends of
southern Nevada, there are stories of
two other boom communities that
started around badger holes. The
busy little burrower seems to have a
nose for gold in the sage country.
The Nevada prospectors who revel
in the pseudonym of desert rats have
already picked The badger as their
good luck symbol up in the Weepah
country. The two boys who made the
discovery found their gold-shot quartz
in badger hole.
With the night temperatures down
below 20 degrees, even the most sea-
soned prospectors are finding the go
ing hard in the treeless desert camp
in the Silver Peak range, where there
is no fuel to warm the interiors Of
flimsy tents or the tarpaulin set-ups.
Those who have been sleeping on the
ground transferred last night 70 more
comfortable quarters that were thrown
open to them, while some of the i'm
provised homes have been furnished
with heating Stoves using sage brush
as fuel. This makes a cracking, hot
fire in a very short space of time.
The two boys who made the discov-
cry that started the rush were offered
$4,000 for their three claims today
but the dotted line is still innocent of
their names. They can see much more
than that in sight in the free dirt
alone.
Engineers agree that Frank Horton
on whose claim the discovery was
made, has not divulged the full extent
of the findings. They believe that the
commercial value of the milled ore will
/ be much greater than the ore now in
sight on the Horton workings.

FRENCH AUTOMOBILIST
MUST PROVE INNOCENC CE

PARIS, March 12 t49.-The French
automobilist in an accidnet is assumed
to be guilty unless he can prove his
innocence.
The court of cessation, in a test case,
laid down the principle that will guide
automobile jurisprudence. Heretofore
the theory that the person damaged by
an automobile accident must prove the
driver Of the car to be at fault, has
prevailed in many courts. Sometimes
the same court decided differently in
different cases.
The decision is based, not on any
special legislation, but on the old law
that the owner of any thing" is re-
sponsible for any damage it causes,
whether the thing is a building, a
COW, or child. The law was in force
before the automobile existed. t,t4..

he, began breeding for size and quality
and the super oyster of today resulted.
Wells visualizes further improve
ments He says: "Unless the nature
of oysters is entirely different from
that of every other domesticated ami
NAL and plant, we have but to reflect
upon the improvements made by agri-
culture to imagine the future oyster"
Wells has produced oysters out OF
season and added month to the
spawning season by Matching eggs
from other localities. He has also
raised CLAIMS, mussels, scallops and
quahaugs in his tanks.
The biologist believes commercial
production of artificially propagated
oysters at a price to compete with the
natural product is close at hand.

The players of both teams are

Of them are completing long careers

Hollingbery and Andy Kerr, are of

In such an outfit, it is to be pre-

Handicapped by loss of three
players on whom he had depended,
Hollingberv was hit again by the
late arrival of three men from Wash

To reduce that handicap, plans
were broached for bringing the

BILLIARD CHAMPS

NEW YORK, Dee. 20.-Young

OF billiardom, is still hot under the

he is leading Welker Cochran in
their 1872 balklinc match for the

Jake's warmth arises from two
sources-primarilv from the high
temperature of the grand ball room

first block of the 1900 point match
WAS far below his standard.
AS far as lie is concerned, Coch-

has cause to wigglc his ears in dis
approval. Imagine the skillful
Cochran having to be contented
with 211 points in IL innings.

player drop his cue down the first

Taking everything into considerl
