JUDGE NELSON'S
DECISION.
Speaking of patent medicines, the
Judge says : . "I wish to deal fairly and
honorably with all, and when I find an
article that will do what it is recom
mended to do, I am not ashamed to say
bo. I am acquainted with Dr. Vander
pool (having been treated by him for
cancer), and have used his blood medi
cine, known as the S. B. Headache and
' liver Cure, and while I am 75 years old,
and have used ' many pills and other
remedies for the blood, liver and kid
neys, I must say that for a kidney tonic
in Brights disease, and aa an alterative
for the blood, or to correct the action of
the stomach and bowels, it is a very su
perior remedy, and beats anything I
'ever tried. J. B. Nki.son,

SEEKING COPPER UXDER A LAKE.
The Marquette Mining Company Carry
Out an Absurd Idea.
INCIDENTS OF THE EXPERIMENT
A Shaft to lie Sunk In the Center of the
Lake Bed an a Precaution for
Safety Other Notes.
Detroit, Nov. 22. A special from the
superintendent of the Marquette and
Pittsburg Copper Co. states that ' what
seemed an impossible and absurd un
dertaking last spring is now an accom
plished fact. The last drop of water has
been pumped from Lake ' Angeline, and
now a hole marks the place of that once
beautiful lake, three-quarters of a mile
long and about one-third of a mile wide,
and a depth of 15 feet.. Last spring,
while the ice was solid, a scow was con
structed on the ice, and an engine and
boiler and an immense centrifugal pump
was placed in position on the scow.
When the ice melted the scow was held
in position by large' timbers driven in
the ground at each corner. Before any
pumping was done a trench was dug to
the Carp river, a distance of three miles,
and five feet of the entire, surface was
drained in this manner. Then the
pump was put to work and has been
running almost continuously until this
week. As the lake lowered the boat was
moved to the center and a launder was
constructed to the trench on the shore.'
For two weeks past hundreds of salmon,
some weighing five pounds, have been
caught in the launder by means of a wire
screen. One' day the superintendent
threw a live goose in the lake near the
end of the suction pipe. .The goose was
drawn into the pipe, went through the
pump, and .was caught in the launder
uninjured save for the loss of some
leathers. Mining operations are being
pursued under the lake, but there is no
danger of a cavein, and a shaft will at
once be sunk in the center of the lake.
TO AFFIAK IS THE DALLES.
What the Oregonian Bays of the Kent-
Bories Exhibition.
From the Orctonian 20 a. , . , '
. During the silent passage of time upon
the past twelve prancing months, the
artistic taste of Portland has been quietly
but steadily developing, and to no one
is more -credit due than -to Mr. C. W.
Kent, who, in a dozen different ways,
has lent the experience of bis artistic
stage training . and . sensitive nature to
ward the desired end. '.'His capabilities
as an actori of power .-and versability
werei fully : appreciated by those fortu
nate -i enough --tin I hear the ; marvelous
rendition of .'Poe8 "TeUtale Heart" at
the -Arion : ball . last month, and also in
the auiet but Subtle .work: of' the short
comedietta at the. Concordia : ball. The
fact of Mr; Kent : being an enthusiastic
and polished lecturer on - the subject of
Charles Dickens and his works, has
lately leaked put, but to all requests for
a public .rendition of his lecture he has
hitherto made- a decided denial, on the
ground that the city did not contain a
sufficient quantity of the great writer s
admirers to warrant the expense of such
an undertaking. ' Manager Freidlander
hearing of this, - however, ' and being
urged at the same lime by the large
number of Dickens 'worshipers in the
city to use . his influence and co-operation,
has persuaded Mr. Kent to devote
an evening from his other duties and
give a "Dickens Lecture," illustrating
his subject by dissolving views to a
musical accompaniment. - The 10th of
December, at the Marquam Grand has
been decided upon, when Mr.Kent will
make his initial bow as a lecturer before
a Portland audience. The interest and
good wishes of his many Portland friends
are warmly with him in his endeavor
to gratify . their request for an artistic
enjoyable and intellectual trial. -

SAVE THE IOCNG SALMON'.
Prof. I. S. Jot dan Write Upon Traps.
Wheels and Lines.
prof. D. S. Jordan, president of Leland
Stanford, Jr., university, is probably one
of the best-posted men on the habits of
fish jn. the United States, having given
years of study to the subject. Recently
he . wrote . a letter on the subject, from
which we quote : . ; .
"A wellrordered. salmon hatchery is
the only means by which the destruc
tion of the salmon fisheries of the Col
umbia riye.r can be prevented.. Since
my last letter upon the subject, in 1880,
the hatchery has been established, al
though I know very little as to its prac
tical working. Meanwhile conditions
which were then unfavorable to the
growth of the salmon have been ren
dered vastly more worthy than they
were in 1880. At that time fishing was
done by means of gill-nets.' No young
fish were caught, and there were no
wheels or traps or any other contriv
ances which the salmon could not es
cape. : Since that time the number of
gill-nets has greatly increased, and
there are also all sorts of other contriv
ances causing the destruction of salmon,
or worse than that a system of seinin
has come into effect, by which not only
the full-grown salmon are caught, but
young salmon of all sizes are destroyed,
I am told, in great numbers. . The de
struction of these young salmon must
exert a most detrimental influence, and,
unless that can be controlled and the
nets and other contrivances , removed
from the river, there is no doubt that
the salmon fishery will disappear. The
states of Oregon and Washington cannot
afford to let this great industry go out
of their hands. It is most important to
have accurate knowledge of the ways
and habits of the salmon.
"As to the question of how a young
salmon can be recognized or dis
tinguished from trout, permit me to say
that this offers no difficulty to any per
son who will take a little pains and who
can count. . The steelhead and all the
otheratrouts of different sizes have an
anal fin, that is, the fin behind all others
and in front of the tail. . It is compara
tively small, containing nine or ten rays,
counting the different ones and including
the stubs, while the salmon have in the
anal fin from 12 to 16 rays. The two
common salmon in the Columbia, the
quinnat or King salmon, and the blue
back, can be easily distinguished by any
one who will give attention to them.
The young of both are found in the river.
They can be easily ; told by : the color.
The blueback is hardly ever spotted;
tbe quinant is almost always so. The
one positive difference which separates
the quinnat from the blueback is the
fact that on the first or front gill arch
the blueback has about twice as many
appendages or gill-rakers as the
quinnat has.
"There are no hybrid salmon, so far as
I have seen, found in ', the Columbia.
There is found in the river a kind of
salmon called dog salmon a distinct
kind that is properly called by
that name.
"When any one catches a fish before
it is mature, he has so far done his part
toward the destruction of the salmon
fishery."
Panama Vanal Scandal.
Pabis, Nov. 21. The death of Baron
de Reinach, who was one of the men
compromised in the Panama canal scan
dal, has caused considerable discussion,
and stories are afloat that, rather than
stand prosecution, he committed suicide.
This morning it is said his death was
caused by cerebral .excitement brought
on by the discovery; that papers showing
that he was compromised in the canal
scandal had been stolen from him. His
family refused to allow an autopsy to be
held, and this is taken as a confirmation
of the suicide theory. The family give
us their reason for refusing to allow an
autopsy that it is contrary to the Jewish
religion. The baron leaves a fortune of
75,000,000 francs.

AN ALASKA VOLCANO
Exciting Incident in the Cruise of tne
U. S. R. M. Cutter Corwin.
AT THE BfRTH OF A NEW VESUVIUS
Fifty Miles From Cape St John in a
Country as Yet Unexplored.
LATA AND ASHES IJf BIG QUANTITY
The Schooner Helen Washed Ashore
. by an Earthquake Tidal Wave
Near Cape Bnnkofi.
San Francisco, . Nov. 21. The reve-
nue cutter Corwin has arrived here after
waters. About the moet exciting inei-
aents oi tne cruise took place beptemoer
14th, when tbe Corwin was off Sand .
Point. It was at the time that a new
volcano broke out on the Alaskan penin
sula, inland from Cape St. John. The -birth
of the volcano was marked by
heavy shocks of earthquake which trem
bled tbe country for many miles around.
The Corwin was many miles at sea when
the. eruption began, and yet she got a
very lively shaking up. . ' It was nearly -a
dead calm and about 9 o'clock at night
when the ship began to tremble vio
lently from stem to stern. . Some of the
men were nearly thrown off their feet
and nearly all of them grew sick, so
peculiar were the- sensations. . . .
L The shock lasted nearly five minutes,
on A. . IIma 1, I .1 ' .
strange, . yellowish . appearance. Mr.
Applegate, of Sand Point, reported ,
having seen . the volcano, and the

fifty miles 'in from Cape St. John, and in
a section of the country not yet explored.
He reports the crater as vomiting out an
immense quantity of lava and ashes, and
tbe . country seemed to be ablaze for '
miles around. One vessel within reach
of the volcano's effects, the schooner
Helen, of Seattle, was caught by some
thing akin to a tidal wave and washed
nnhnre near Cane Rnnkoff. The Corwin
people discovered her on the 28th of
October.
A shoveling party was sent ashore to
dig a canal to water, and when this was
accomplished the cutter hauled the .
xieien anoat. . us iuo uorwui s way
down she passed the rescued schooner at
Sand Point apparently seaworthy and ,
sound. In Capt.. Hooper's summary of
the cruise the Corwin is put down as
steaming 22,000 miles during the sum
mer.' Her seizures are limited to the
British steamer Coquitlam of Vancouver,
and the British . schooner Henriette, c of "
Victoria. Both siezures were for viola
tions of the revenue laws, and bad
nothing to do with the modus vivendi.
The vessels were delivered to the col
lector of customs at Sitka. Seals were,
scarce in Behring sea, the pack being
well started on its annual winter ex
cursion down the coast.
