‘Set a Mosquito to
Catch a Mosquito'
Paris.—‘‘Set a mosquito to catch a
mosquito,” is the ingenious theme ol
Professor Legendre, to the Academy ol
Science, reporting the marvelous ex
periments of Professor Bo.ivier, the
‘Tnssct Burbank,” who has not only
taken the sting out oi certain varieties
of mosquitoes, but given them such 8
cannibalistic appetite they want to eal
all other mosquitoes on sight,
Professor Legendre said that giant
mosquito incubators, hatching million;
of eggs a minute, will be built in all
mosquito infested countries. The in
sects thus generated will eon ruraa a.l
malaria-bearing bugs.

A Dredging or Hydraulicing
Proposition. Yankee Creek
I am the principal owner of a block of ground
on Yankee creek, about, seven tones loDg. extend
ing from No. 1 Uelotv Discovery down to the mouth
of the creek*
Pay has been located all along for a distance of
about three miles from the upper end. and pretty
well prospected and cross-cut.
The averapejoepiii of the ground Is from seven
to twenty feet. The top is ail black muck, that can
be moved freely. No rock bigger^tban one’s fist.
The width of the pay. for a distance of about '
three miles, *is from 100 to 200 feet. Crosscuting ,
work indicates that the ground will go from 15 ■
cents to $1 pet so.uare foot of, bedrock. My belief
is that the pay will uverage 50 cents per foot
I have a ditch on the ground, three miles long,
together with water rights. The ground is prettv
well cleared. There is also a drain, three miles
long, with the water right. I also have a water
right on Ready Bullion creek, from which water
can be brought to Yankee creek with a ditch less
than a mile long (4,000 feet!, which will give nr
sluiceheads of water, with a pressure or fall < r 12t
feet, being 1600 feet to the work from the due- .
After doing away with the muck, there will be
from four to six feet of dirt to handle. The pay
rims mostly in the bedrock of porphyry and '.late.
The ground is virgin, only about $11,000 having
been taken out by windlass in prospecting.
Prospecting work during the present winter has
resulted in finding values that run up to $1 per
square foot of bedrock.
The Flume Dredge Company has a dredge above
this ground, which has been in operation for the
last three seasons.
The Government road crosses Yankee creek. T
also have a road down the creek that connects with
the Government road.
I am also the agent for owners of ground .other
than that held bv myself.
The ground can be worked either with dredge,
drag-line scraper,"or by hydraulieing.
1 will either sell the ground or give' a lea,' a o*
it. If the prospect is satisfactory to the buye.-, a
cash payment will be expected. A good bargain
will be given to the right party.
For {further information, term*, eve., call oo
ground, or write or telegraph me.
