NEW YORK. Miners Compass or Dipping Needle Made by Short & Mason, England. In the hands of the prospector theMiners Compass or Dipping Needleproves a serviceable guide to the dis-covery and location of magnetic ironore. In this instrument the magneticneedle is carefully balanced upon ahorizontal axis within a graduatedcircle, and in which the needle willbe found to assume a position in-clined to the horizon. This angle ofdeviation is called the inclination ordip, and varies in different latitudes,and even at different times in thesame place.
