IN THE WINING WORLD Value of a Knowledge of Geology to the Prospector, (By Karl Donglaa, Vntvmitr ot Montana.) The study of the remains of plant and animal lite tnat-Jiave -existed in past ages is like history, astronomy, fossil languages, politics and all other branches of human knowledge; it is niigbtv interesting when out gets in terested in it. But it is extremely dif ficult to get very deeply iueterested in somethiug that we know nothing about. There are so many branches of knowl edge that one cannot know everything. But the subject on which I am asked to write is, 1 believe, of vital interest to the miner and prospector, though our knowledge of it was not developed for their special benefit, but because ol the interest aud fascination of the eub ject itself. Though I never spent a week in searh of mineral veins, I have a fellow feeling for the prospector. In the first place, there is a charm in outdoor life in tramping over the hills and moun tains and through the deep ravines and rocky canyons; in going into camp tired enough to make rest sweet, and hungry enough to devour with the keenest relish the ham, bacon, coffee, flapjacks and anything else that hap pens to come along that is eatable; and in sleeping in the pure air under the blue tent of the sky with the whisper ing of the pines and the varied voices of the mountain streams to charm away worldly cares and lull to sleep. It seems so good not to have to wear stylish clothes, especially if one bas none to wear; to be where there is no fear of trespassing on any man's land, and to fear nobody's dog; to feel that the world is yours as much as any body's, and whatever riohes you may find buried in its treasure house you can call your own. The prospector descends into the dark mine, submitting himself to slavery awhile that be may "grub stake" himself and be a free man for the rest of the year and have a prospect of "striking something rich" and be coming at "VeiutAj or mora wealthy than bis employer. The mine owner is ranch the same kind of a man, but he has the advantage in having more money to start with, and is looking for a place where he can invest his money in a "good proposi tion" and get richer. With both mine owner and prospec tor intelligence and judgment are need ed. It is true that sometmes those who have learned little from books and nothing from experience have blun dered onto rich leads; but if, the truth were summed up 1 think it wonld ap pear that a very large percentage of good mines have been found by men of experience, who have worked in mines, have seen and bandied the ores and have observed the rock in which they occur. I firmly believe, too, that a man's chances of finding the treas ures hid in the eaith would be in creased many fold by adding to his ex perience that of other men, by study ing th3 mode of occurrence of ores, the rock formations in which they occur in fact, the better knowledge of geology and mineralogy he possesses and the better his power of observation and judgment the better his chances of success. The same holds trne of the dealer in mining property. It is true that these sciences are large ones, but it is just as true that the chances of failure without the necessary knowl edge are fully as large. If a sick man, ignorant of the properties of drags, were turned loose in an apothecary's shop he might blunder onto something that would help him, but the chances would be against him. We need not be scared by the voluminous books on geology with their frightful looking names. There are simple, interesting books, giving the most important in formation, and written especially for prospectors and mining men, and for the understanding of them no previous knowledge of geology and mineralogy are needed. These may lead to deeper study later. But someone will my that certain minerals have been found where ho experienced prospector would search and where geologists have said they cannot occur. The trouble is, an old miner comes from California, to Montana and begins to look for gold here. He knows just how the rock looks in which tbe ore occurs wheie he mined in California, and he is looking for tbe same kind of rock and the same looking ore, but he probably will nut find it. An old Montana miner goes to Colorado and meets with the same disappointment. His views of tbe oc currence of ores are too narrow. The precious metals occur in many differ ent kinds of rock and under a great variety of conditions; and one would have to know tbe geology of the whole world to know all tbe conditions in which they occur; yet there are certain underlying truths that, if understood, will vastly increase the chances o! (ac cess and save not only many years but many life times. Many brother geolo gists perhaps I ought to say nncle ge ologists, for I think they are of the gen eration that is passing away have studied a certain region and have jndgfd all tbs world by that. I might whisper to you, too, that not all who talk and write on geological subjects know just what they are talking about, and I nave no doubt yon have thought of that before reading this article. A leoent report from Boise, Idaho, is to the effect that a fabulously rich body of gold ore has been encountered in the Iowa mine, owned by Judge W. B. Ileyburn. The mine is located near Quartsburg.

Tbe eutertaluuieuts of the baroness at her uiagulttociu couutry home, tbe Chateau de Kerrlers, and at her town house, were noted for their splendor. Baron Alphonse was one of the eleven Barous Rothschild whose loans to the governments of the world within the past ten years aggregate more than $500,000,000. The head of the Paris house whs a hard worker sud devoted to business, but, like all his cousin barons, lie bad a bobby. This was a passion for bnylug rare books. His collection tvss one of tbe most valuable of a private klud tn Eu rope. While he lived he bore the repu tation of a stern, uncharitable man. The reading of his will replaces this reputation with one of a diametrically apposite nature.

At the thieves' market there It not so much philanthropy, and he who bas lost something of value and would purchase It back Is apt to pay dearly for It . The pawnshop keeps short hours, but tbe candles In tbe booths of tbe thieves market burn long after tbt boulevards are deserted.

A system of nlght-slguallng wltb flags held up by kites and lighted by a suspended search-light was tried soma time ago at Buyonue, New Jersey. Says Electricity: The search light was of about ont hundred candle power, and was sus pended within a few feet of tbe flags. The light was sent up at a quarter to T o'clock, bung two feet below tbt flags, each of which was two feet square. Both light and flags wert sup ported by one nine foot and ont seven foot kite. The flags wert fastened to the kite cable by perpendicular staffs. To light the flags tbe search-light was rigidly braced on tbt kltt cable In sucb a position that It pointed straight sky ward. As tbt kites carried tbt cable upward, tbe glare of tht fiery pencil passed beneath the flying kites and up ward into space, Tbe rapid fluttering of tbt lings caused the effect of a stream of blue, wbtte and red fire, ex tending ten or twelve feet beyond tht search light reflector.
