The fight took place about midway between Sausalito and Fort Baker and lasted fully two minutes. Captain P. M. Stofen of the Yosemite says he never saw anything that equaled yesterday's encounter. “I believe the swordfish had been chasing that whale ever since Fri- day night,” said the captain in tell- ing the story. “Some of the boys heard a great disturbance in the water during the night, but were unable to ascertain the cause.

That is, the manner of occurrence of the known ore deposits has been observed. The deductions which tend to guide min- ing prospectors to other deposits will be carefully considered by scientific miners. The economic work is more difficult and expensive than other branches of geo- logical exploitation. *“The increase in ef- fectiveness of this work,” writes Director Walcott, “must proceed slowly. Even with unlimited amounts of money im- mediately available the economic work of the survey could not at once be spread over the whole country, as it should be, for the reason that it would take time to train the additional number of specially prepared geologists required. But there is no doubt that by a natural enlargement of the present plan of work the demands of the mining community for Government aid in the development of their particular branch of industry can readily be largely met.” Speaking of the limitations of Govern- ment work, Director Walcott says: It 1s well known that, in creating the United tutes Geological Survey, Congress and the people whom it represents expected that lts energies would be largely devoted to the devel- opment of the mineral resources of the country. How this method should be accomplished was left to_the director and his principal assistants, who, by sclentific training and long practical experience, were the best qualified to judge what could and what could not be done by such a corps of specialists as the survey must ne sarily consist of—men whose whole life is voted to the abstract side of geology and whom neither the reguiations of the survey as defined law nor the exigencies of their official duties would permit to participate in the practical or mmerctal development of these resources. It that these speclalists could not take either the prospector or the mining as a somewhat superficlal view of the as led to think they might. They of course, understand the principles that underlie the work of either of these classes of men, but they can not be expected to possess that expertness of instinctive second sense in each of these professions which can be acquired only by lifelong practice. The survey should furnish an accurate basis upon which the work of each of these experts, 50 Indispensable in the development of the min- eral resources of the country, may be founded. It should endeavor to tell the prospector where he may and where he may not prospect to ad- vantage for this or that valuable mineral, but | it cannot be expected to actually find the min- eral for him. It should alm to discover for the mining engineer first of all the general laws | which govern the occurrence of the different | useful minerals, and to show the special appli- cations of these laws in the particular mining gions that come under survey; but it cannot ertake to direct the workings of individual 3 was evid the place nor guarantee that every mi; A mining engineer will make a correct applica- tion of the laws that have been discovered. s or quarri An agreement concerning the price of lead would seem to have been reached by the American Smelting and Refining Com- pany and the lead producers. The Teport | is that the contract is on the basis of per ton during the remainder of the year. The Salt Ke Tribune has interviewed T. R. Jones, district manager for the American Smelting and Refining Com- any, who gave the information contained in the foregoing.

The Sonora Union-Democrat following: Despite the confident prediction of winter prophets that the abundance of snow in the mountains would keep the stamps of our mills dropping the year round, the water supply is rapidly diminishing and in a few weeks many mines will not be able to obtain enough to wet their batteries. The water company has com.- menced to draw on the reserve supply con- tained in its system of dams, and this will be completely exhausted by Septémber 1. Then the mine-owners will be obliged to struggle along as best they can until the rainy season ar- rives. From the same source the following facts are taken: Failure to secure elec- tric power has caused a reduction of the force st the Harvard mine. The San Guiseppe will be reopened. The Kanaka mine, near Groveland, will start up soon, The Santa Isabel will be unwatered and subjected to expert examination.

I belleve this was the whale’s death struggle, for we did not see him after that. We got several good glimpses of the sword- fish, particularly when the whale jumped into the air. The fish al- ways attacks from underneath, bringing its sword into play against the whale’s stomach. A hammerfish was also seen in the vicinity, and I think he helped to finish the whale.” Captain Stofen says the whale was fully forty feet long and the wires in press dispatches a few days ago but they were doubted. Now their ac- curacy has been officially affirmed. It any Smyrna figs should be shipped they will be dumped into New York Bay upon arrival. The first effect of the news is an increase in the prices for California figs. Ten-pound boxes at Fresno have al- ready advanced 10 cents. In the boxes the price has been raised iros§ cents to 3 cents per pound.
