Professor Kimbl’s am Apparatus That
Tells the Lecation of Minerals,
Prof, L. J, Kimball, the inventor and
operator of a magneto-electric battery for
locating mines and describing the metals
they contain, is now visiting this city. He
is accompanied by Dr. Frederick Hiller of
San Francisco aud Colonel J, W. Guthrie
of Sacramento, who are interested in the
working of the invention and are here to
three days and have already made a few
teats of the contrivance on.different mining
claims in this neighborhood, all of which
have proven very satisfactory to themselves
and to ail thers concerned, In one instance
a mine five or six miles from this city was
passed over and its character determined by
the action of the instrument. The report
given by Prof, Kimball ae the result of the
experiment was a surprise to the managers:
of the mine, who say that they could not
have given @ better description of the mine
themselves,
All teate are conducted above ground, the
battery used being very sensitive and easily
affected by the mineral deposits in the immediate neighborhood.
not class‘his invention with the so-called
divining rods, ‘thoo-doos” and like appliances that have in the past attracted more
or less attention from mining men all over
the country. Prof, Kimball gays the apparatus is constructed upon principles well
known to scientific men, and that its working depends entirely upon natural causes,
There is no spiritualism or other —
tion about it,
The Professor also claims that the jie
discoveries on the Comstock are due to the
use of his instrument, which located new
exploited.
The apparatus which Professor Kimball
uses somewhat resembles in shape the oldtime forked divining rod. There are two
adjustable rods which meet in a socket, the
free ends are held in the hand and the battery is inserted im the socket at the junction
of the two rods. According to the metal
which the prospector is looking for he inserts at the apex of the rod a particular
kind of battery. This battery looks like a
long bullet, but has at its broad end a
tight-fitting screw, not unlike the flask in
which quicksilver is stored. The contents
of the battery constitute the secret of the
36-lb. hammer; throwing 12-lb, hammer;
putting 16-lb. shot; 100-yard hurdle race,
hurdles three feet wide and three feet apart;
rapoing broad jump; running high jump;
running hop, step and jump. A number
of open-for-all contests will also take
place and for these prizes will be given.
They are as follows: 100-yard dash; 100yard dach for boys under 16; three-legged
race, 100 yards; one-half mile race; running
broad jump; ruoning high jump; 50-yard

A Verdict For Defendant.
The case of W. W. Williams vs. R. P,
Rossen, which was tried before a jury in
Juetice McKinney’s court at, North Bloomfield’ Saturday, resulted in the acquittal of
the defendant. Rossen was d of
having said that Williams was the party
who recently destroyed the brass band instruments at Relief Hill, and the latter
brought suit to recover damages for defamation of character. Thomas 8, Ford of this
city was attorney for Rossen, and A, Burrows of Grass Valley appeared for the
plaintiff. :
. Death From P Pneumonia.
Rose Carey, a woman of the town, who
was commonly known as ‘' Pearl,” died
yesterday morning at her house on upper
Commercial street.. Death resulted from
pneumonia, The unfortunate woman being
in almost destitute ¢ircumstances and with
no one to see that she was decently buried,
Constable Dillon started a subscription and
succeeded in raising enough to defray the
expenses of the funeral, which took place
at 10 o’clock this morning.

Professor, Into each battery certain chemicals are introduced, which are attracted by
certain metals or fluids in the earth. To
use the Professor’s own language: ‘‘A nug~
get of gold is a ball of fire, so far as its rays
are concerned, All mineral bodies are electrical conductors, and impart a magnetic
They produce effects upon the batteries used in the
divining rod by magnetic induction. The
needle or battery is caught by this inductive
force and is spontaneously directed towards
the ore body. The greater the mass of ore
the greater the effect upon the battery and
the more decided the attraction.” In this
way the Professor says he is able not only
to indicate where the great body of the ore
lies, but the direction of the vein, its spars
and pockets.
He has been working on the apparatus
for over five years, but has only been practicing with it for three years, as serious
bed for two
years. He expresses the utmost confidence
in his own ability, plus the magneto-electric
battery, and declares that it would .be impossible for him to travel over a body of
ore ina railroad train at the rate of 100
miles an hour without the apparatus indicating in the most positive manner the
location-of the buried metal,
Today Professur Kimball, accompanied . @
by Messrs, Guthrie and Hiller, went out to
look at the Muller & Walling claim, about
two miles west of this city, and try the
apparatus. Professor Muller, one of the
owners of the mine, was also of. the party.
The apparatus was brought ihto play and
by its aid Professor Kimball located the
main ledge and followed its course and gave
the location of all the ore shoots, the indications of the battery being correct in those
instances of which the owners of the mine
have positive knowledge. Professor Kimball pointed out from the surface where the
ledge was found largest and where the
richest quartz was struck, The instrumen
indicated everything exactly, so far as
known, although the inventor had never
been on the ground before and knew nothing
about the mine. A cross ledge that the
owners were not aware existed there was
pointed out and the character and extent
of the ore deposit in the undeveloped portion
of the mine was indicated, showing that the
property is undoubtedly a valuable one,
Professor Muller informs us that be was
astonished at the accuracy with which the
instrument indicated the extent and. course
of ore shoots and the description of the ore
given by Professor Kimball.

A Fact Worth Knowing.

The inventor does} electric wire? What has kept thie district
mine the gentlemen went to Grass Valley . .
pr areas diseases are cured by
livered a very interesting lecture at Grass
Valley from which we extract the following:
On the South Yuba River, 1,000 feet below. the level of this city, the Nevada
County Electric Power pany is now
generating 3,000 horse power, This energy
is capable of being transmitted by electric
wire to the top of « mountain or to the bottom of a valley, One-third of that energy
ishere. Init you havea power that will
work any of ‘your mines, irrespective of looation. 1+ is also associated with a light that
is second only to the rays of the sun.
Graes Valley is a place that has been
most productive and self-sustaining for 47
years; that is unequaled in its resources
and unparalleled in its wealth; a place
which, though only a small portion of ‘its
mineral area has been developed, that portion has for the past twenty years taken
care of its inhabitants, and contributed
Lirgely to the welfare of many of the ontside, What will not Grass Valley accomplish now that every part of the district is
made available for development by the
back for so long is the known fact
that there is a superfluity of water to
handle in it. Now that there is plenty o
power there-will be no end to the development, The gold is here, and the world
needs gold,
Then again, look at the town iteclf,
Where can you fiud a more beautiful spot,
or a more healthy climate? And where do
you see prettier homes and more contented
people? And why is this? Because the
people of Grass Valley are all workers, full
of ambition and ‘‘electrio energy.” Pending the introduction of electric power many
of our citizens, who couldn’t stand the
dormant strain on their energies, were induced to fire their storage batteries with
Grass Valley energy and experience, and to
transport them to Johannesburg in South
Africa, They have helped those people a
great deal over there: When they return
home I fear that camp will be deserted—
Johannesburg will be a thing of past history—when Grass Valley will be but in the
prime of life and prosperity,
The electric energy of our people, sisi
with an electric energy that is generated
from a natural source, will supply all power
necessary to develop the mineral resources
of this district to perfection, and cause many
people seeking investments to come and
share with us the favorable conditions found
here,—good fortune, good climate and good
health, With plenty of light and power,
and living in a locality where both can be
profitably utilized, what greater privilege
can be desired by the introduction of electricity ?
Married Sunday.
R. A. Paine and Miss Annie Waldron
were united in the holy bonds of matrimony yesterday at the home of the latter
at Lake City, Rev. Father Cline performed
the marriage ceremony. Beth are among
the most popular and best-known young
people along the Ridge, and they have a
host of friends‘and acquaintances in this
city. The bride is not only comely but is
attractive and accomplished, while the
groom is one of the rising young men of
his section. Mr, and Mrs, Waldron will] *
continue to reside at Lake City and will
be kept busy for some time receiving the
congratulations of their friends.

of waiting at Colfax for the regular

in the morning, having come by a special
train to Grass Valley and from there by
special conveyance. What is the world
