A new invention by a 'Wrangell

edly become a signal success aniohg
prospectors, is a hand-power pros
pecting shovel for prospecting' river

ventor is George H. Edsort, and fiiS
invention is the j-eablt of his own ex
perience as c a prospector, “ which *
brought him to the’realisation of the
need of some small, lightweight de
vice which would enable the 'pros
pector to scoop Up dirt bi ’Sand from
the bed of a creek and bring it to the ‘
top without losing all or the greater
portion thereof. ' The Edison device -
has a strong cover which can be:
closed down tightly over the setiopeV '
when the prospector is ready to lift
his shovel. Whatever dirt or sand
there is in the scoop CatTbe brought
to the top with no loss whatever. The
devic'e is light and is no extra burden
to the prospector in his ramblings up
ami down' the creetoe '*
