Wilhelm a THB DREDGING CRAZB, A lasing Frofitable Results. Periodically the idea that the beds of mined for gold by the dredging pro. cess becomes prevalent in certain quarters, and expensive experiments in that line are undertaken. Miners generally . view them with incredulity, and so far fhe results have verified their judgment, For several months past a Pos: tlethwaite dredger has been stationed on the Yuba below Smartsville, but so faras can be learned no gold worth mentioning has béen taken out. It is claimed bowever by, the Trinity . Journal that a dredger of the same pat. 15 tern costing over $40,000 has been. “sucthat county. The Journal says: “It requires but two men to look after every detail of its work, and the dimount . of deposit it handles in a day is large Four miles of the stream are controlled. . As a result of this company’s venture . the possibilities of Trinity River on} this score have attracted attention, and two other companies, it is said, are investigating along these lines.” In spite of the Journal’s statement, we are still as skeptical as ever on the dredger proposition. At the same time we con. fess that it can be made to look very . seductive on its face to people who know \ nothing about river mining in a practi. cal way, but have money that they are . anxious to invest in the business. It. . will take evidence in the way of some . good clean-ups by the dredgers to re-. move this prejudice. Woman’s Refining. Influence Curley Kirk, a Wichita boy who is) =<. in the army at Santiago, writes to the Wichita Eagle as: follows: “Two months ago I left Tampa for this blasted . land which we are trying to liberate. For forty-five days I never saw a woman. Fellow citizens if you want to} . appreciate a woman, get away from her. . You don’t know what the Creator did when he performed the first surgical operation upon Adam. If you want to know. what a grand, glorious and sugar-coated thing a woman is, join the army. Join the army as -I did—see nething but men from morning till night. Join the army and loaf with the men, eat with the men, talk with the men, walk over men, shoot men, succor men, see men, menand nothing but men. Live in perpetual air of profanity, both smell and tobacco smoke, and at the end of three weeks you would be passionately enamored with the mummy of an Egy ptain servant girl and give her an electrical kiss that would. burn three thousand years of dried hide into flushng and velvety animation.” Don’r forget the Racket Store’s special sale of ribbon, commencing 2 p. m. tomorrow, confteuing until evening.

The cool wave country about the 6th, the great central valleys the 8th, the Eastern States the 10th. This cool wave will go into the Southern States with considerable force and willbe a “norther” for that country. Very cold weather will follow . this storm in the Northern States. Previous bulletins have announced . . that December would average above normal temperature, but you may look for great extremes. The first half of the month will average very cold, particularly in the Northern States. Cold waves have no regard for manmade calendars and thereforé do not respect the lines between months. This cold spell will begin November 28th, and end about December 12th. In this-general bulletin I cannot give dates for all localities and therefore the dates for these storm waves, when not otherwise definitely stated, are for the 90th meridian which is about the general course of the Mississippi river. These disturbances wil! arrive at points west of that line from one to three days earlier and at points east of it from one to three days later.
