The Daily Transcript, THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1889. A Grand sight. Tuesday night at about a quarter of ten o’clock a ‘‘shooting star’’ started from the zenith of the heavens and descending in an easterly direction apparently struck the earth near the westerly basé of Banner Mountain. Captain Henry Richards and his son Will: were driving home from town at the time and had reached the railroad trestle at Gold Run. There was no moon. Suddenly the Gold Flat country was illumined as if by hundreds of electric lamps. The gentlemen say the scene was so brilliantly lighted up as to be dazzling, and they could have seen the second marks on their watches or to read the finest print. The horse was stopped. The lumi’ nous body came down very slowly, the observers estimating that fifteen seconds elapsed from the time it started till it disappeared behind some trees half a mile or less distant from where they were. As it went out of sight it seemed to burst into fragments. The tail-was vari-colored, wide as a housedoor, and stretched from the zenith to the horizon as the main portion disappeared. Captain Richards and his son say that no human words can describe the grandeur of the spectacle. They fully expected to hear a deafening explosion as the meteor came to. terra firma, and braced themselves for it; but there was no sound save their own quickened breathing and the snorting of the affrighted horse. The very stillness that surrounded them added to the awfulness of the situation. A Meritorious Invention. A. Gauthier, a prominent mine owner of Grass Valley, has in his recently .invented plate-amalgamator what practical mill-men pronounce to be of great value. It canbe readily placed in position to receive the ore-pulp from the battery, and may have its inclination suitably adjusted and regulated, a shaking or vibratory motion being imparted to it by-simple mechanism. In-the ordinary amalgamating device there is a great dis* advantage, because, the plates being set at a suitable inclination:and there being so much. water used, the quicksilver which is put upon the plates does not remain, but much of it is washed down the incline with the sand and is lost. . Mr. Gauthier’s machine obviates this trouble, allowing the use of a great deal more quicksilver without subjecting it to waste, while the sand is disposed of with less water. Ceunty Supervisors. At Tuesday afternoon’s. session of the County Supervisors Fred Searls appeared before the Board with a deed from Elisha Hampton of land embraced in the county hospital grounds and containing 30-100 Sf an acre. At Wednesday’s sessioh the report of the viewers of the private road in Grass Valley and Rough and Ready townships was taken up again and read.’ M. J. Higgins, non-consenting land owner, who was cited to appear before the Board and show cause why _ he should not consent to the proposed road, was present and made a statement. On the other side appeared C. W. Reed, J. R. Nickerson, S.C. Hamblin, Alex. Ridinger and others. R. Noel and D. McPhetres were appointed by the Board as a committee to view the said road. © . J. R. Nickerson made a deposit of $150 with the Clerk on account of the south branch of said road. Much Cry, Little Wool. It is alleged through the Grass Valley Union and the Grass Valley Telegraph that certain affidavits (numbering about 140) which it is claimed that Boston Ravine citizens made as to their. vote on Sheriff in the last election, and which were drawn out of the County Clerk’s office by the District Attorney, and taken by the latter to his office, are ‘‘missing.” The Vnion and Telegraph endeavor to make it appear by inuendo that the papers have been stolen.’ It is far more likely that they have been careJessly mislaid, as_ according to those papers’ own statements no person could gain anything by stealing or destroying them. The Derbec Mine. At the Derbec drift mine there are 135 men on the pay-roll and about 125 work. @ing steadily. This is as big a force as has ever been employed there. Under Superintendent Galavotti’s very intelligent and energetic management good results are being obtained. . Mr. Galavotti is entitled-to the highest degree of credit for the mannerin which he handles the peony: An Appeal Taken. The mining case of Christina De Noon vs. A. RB. Morrison. and’ others, recently won in the Superior Court by plaintiff, has been by defendants appealed to the Supreme Court. The principal ground 'of appeal is that anTHE NATIONAL CAPITAL. am Interesting Col Collection of General Gossip. Wasnrxeton D. C. July 11, 1889. Epitor Transcriet—The town is smiling at the dignified, not to say haughty, departure of the Persian Minister for the land of his fathers. The Persian mind looks with disfavor upon the publication of attacks, either humorous or ctberwise,, upon the Shah of the faithful. The. master evidently takes more kindly to such abuse than doesthe man, inasmuch as_ the Shah still remains in England, where the most scandalous stories of his filthy habits have been published and where the people look upon him as a great show something in the line of the the “hairy man” or the ‘‘dog-faced_ ebild.’?’ The truth is,I believe, that behind the loftyresignation of the Persian minister, with the laundry name, is a lowly motive. Ever since his arrival here,’ the envoy has longed for home. The Coreans who fled home in six montis were as nothing to the Persian diplomat. But he might have had the courage to say so, and not have gone hawling home with a tin can tied.to his tail. America never meant to insult the grandee, but cannot be responsibie for his failure to underatand a joke. The President’s family is located for the summer at beautiful Deer Park, where Benjamin Harrison McKee can hit the bahy over the head with as many dusters ashe chooses and find other relaxations from the burdens ‘society imposes on the juvenile great. The President has announced that he will spend as much time with them as is possible, only remaining in tuwn when absolutely necessary. No President in the last half century has passed the entire summer at the White House. The hot, stifling air ofa city is not to be avoided by. a hundred feet of grass plot in front of any house, and house, and.‘ every ‘President has thoroughly learned this fact and hast sought rest and rejuvenation in the open country or by the sea. When one speaks of the uncertain tenure of office under the spoils system he does not allude to the example of white-haired George Bartle who. was appointed from Virginia as a clerk in the State Department forty-four-years ago. For more years than he cares to remember, Mr. Bartle has his desk in Pardons” and has acted askeeper of the great seal. Here he fills out commissions for whosoever the President sees fit to ‘‘repose trust and confidence in,’ aiid affixes the seal. The seal cost over $1,000. Itis a mammoth affair and has a table of itsown. The pressure is applied by turning a long steel bar with a heavy ball on either end, which movement screws down the hammer with great force. The design of the seal face is fully designated by a law enacted June 20th, 1782. There have been four seals in use since the foundation of the government, and these are preserved in the State Department. All were intended to conform to the law, but one failed inimportant particulars. When Daniel Webster was made Secretary of State hefound the old seal badly worn and he ordered a new one. By some mischance the eagle on the new. seal held only six, instead of thirteen, arrows in his sinister talon, and the red stripes, or pales asthey are called in heraldry, were twice the width of the white, instead of being of equal width. These inaccuracies were not corrected for many years and indeed were never objected to by such lucky gentlemen as happened from time to time to 4nd the impress on their commissions. The last and correct seal was made by Tiffany, and no effort was spared to improve the picture of the eagle, so that now no American need feel ashamed of the picture of the proud bird of freedom on his pardon or his commission as the case may be. The Washington Post has applied a severe test to the public school system of the capital, and inits issue of yesterday gave its readers the fruits of the investigation, Twenty-two thousand pupils of the various grades engaged in acontest foreleven gold medals and eleven ‘honorable mentions.”’ The successful compositions, as published are so unfortunately weak that one shrinks from. the thought of what drivel. the unsuccessful ones must contain. Even after weeks of preparation, after downright aid at home and friendly criticism from teachers, only three of the efforts deserve even honorable mention. The lesson, is as Senator Ingalls, says, ‘an easy one. If the public schools fail toteach pupils the use of lucid’ English and do not develop in 22,000 scholars twenty two fairly good writérs, the system is a failure as it exists in Washington. The postoffice after” hunting everyabout decided upon leasing the First Presbyterian Church, which is quite far enough out of the lines of travel to secure the clerksimmunity from the public. The church is situated on Four-and-a-half street, which has-long been abandoned as a thoroughfare, being too far down town. In this church Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland nual work done on one mining claim does not hold an adjoining claim when it does not develop the latter. A Months Trip. A.D.

SEARCHING FOR FOSSILS. An Appeal to Miners and Others For Information. — The following communication which has been sent to the Transcript for publication will be read with interest: An investigation ot the Gold Belt of California by the U. 8. Geological Survey is now in progress. The area embraced exterdsa from the crest of Sierra Nevada to the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, and reaches from Quincy, Piumas county, to the neighborhood of: Yosemite valley. The topographical maps (of which half: are done) are contoured and will be published on a scale of two miles to the inch, with the geology indicated as minutely as the scale will permit. Maps on larger scales will be made of the particularly important localities. When completed copies of all of them will be sold, with the explanatory text, by the Government at the cost of reproduction. The geological investigation of ‘this area, comprising about 12,000 square miles, will be pushed as rapidly as is consistent with thoroughness; but, at best, it must occupy a number of years. For the sake of hastening the work I desire to make an appeal to your readers: wee A large part of the area of the Gold Belt is occupied by schists, slates, quartzites and limestones, which ordinarily stand in a nearly vertical position, or are much disturbed and tilted at all sorts of angles. In these rocks fossils are known to have been found ata very few points, ana these remains indicate that formations of at least three distinct ages are involved; viz., carboniferous, jura-trias and neocomian. The known fossiliferous localities. however are so few, that it is impracticable by their aid alone to map the formations. To furnish satisfactory maps of the Gold Belt we must find more fossiliferous localities, and we are making every effort during the field work to discover them. Butin a region so extensive and so scantily supplied with remains, it is largely a matter of chance whether one hits upon a fossil-bearing bed or passes by it. Now it seems to me in the highest degree probable’ that some of your readers, miners, school-teachers and others interested in natural phenom-] p; ena, are aware of places where fossils are to be found, but have never called public attention to them. I desire to “appeal to all such for aid. In return for authentic information they will receive public acknowledgment in the reports of the Survey, and I shall be able to extend to them some limited facilities for acquiring advance sheets maaps, but I can offer no money. Fossils. in the beds in question will in all probability be only shells, or rather the impressions of shells with little or no material recognizable by itself as shells. I request that information be addressed to me, and ask that the description of localities may be as minuté as possible, so that a collector may lose no time in finding the exact spot.” Definite and characteristic fossils have so far been found in the following localities: The ridge to the west of Gennessee valley in Plumas county, and to the east of Taylorville; Parraih’s ranch, northeast of Pence’s ranch, in Butte county; in Sailorcanyon, southeast of Cisco; in a railroad cut one mile from Colfax ;.in Big canyon north of Placerville ; near Robert’s ferry, on the Stanislaus river; the Mariposa estate north of Bear valley. Imperfect or uncharacteristic fossils have also been found in the limestone at Cave City, Calaveras county, near Colfax, and elsewhere. Yours truly, Geo. F. Becker, U.S. Geologist in charge.

Joy for many years and now prosperous druggist on tho corner of Stockton and Market streets in San Fr bl, never dreamed of rivaling in wealth the medi. cine kings of the country. But various rumors having been floating around to the effect that he has struck it big, an ‘Ezaminer reporter was detailed to unearth the cause, and after much difficulty unraveled tho following story: It seems that about seven years ago an English physician, 2 great stud@nt of botany, located in this city. His practice was not extensive, and yet the few cases that camo to him attracted no little attention. His success seemed to be in the treatment of liver and kidney disorders, and vitiated blood. In fact his ability to cope with these common complaints was marvelous. He seemed almost infallible, and his quiet modest methods and his well-kept secret was as much a mystery as himself, After his departure about a year later Mr. Joy determined to fathom the secret, and copying all the prescriptions he had filled for the erratic doctor he began a systematic analysis, Ih his exam: ination he discovered running all through the prescriptions for liver and kidney troubles, vitiatea blood and st hb disorders a of vegetable extracts indigenous to California, so simple and #0 well known under homely every day na mes to every school boy as to entirely dissipate the suspicion that they were the active principles involved, So certain, however was Mr. Joy that he had discovered the secret, that he embodied the new elements in a preparation of Sarsaparilla to disguise the taste, and put it before his customers under the modest name of Joy’s Vegetable Sarséparilla. Immediately the same marvelous stories came back of its astonishing effects, and the mystery was solved, and the talk it has created has alzeady caused it to step into prominence, and orders pour in daily from all over the coast.

He estimates that the sum of $112,000 can profitably be expended on Sacra-! mentoand Feather rivers. Hydraulic mining has not yet ceased, consequenly there is unexpended by authority of Congress $122,367.99. When the mining ceases then the army of engineers will begin with the projected improvements with any moneys appropriated in future, unless otherwise directed by Congress. It is proposed to continue the work with the snagboat after she is repaired, and to add wing dams as may be required. Below Marysville both the Sacramento because of the material mined and dumped into the rivers and their tributaries.

There is yet unexpended $112,367, of which $100,000 cannot be used until under the Act of Congress the Secretary of War has satisfied himself that hydraulic mining has ceased. Asit has not ceased, these funds are not available. A further sum of $14,000 has been set aside for legal expenses in connection with the suppression of hydraulic mining.” Towns ThatGo Ahead. — The following from the Colusa Sun applies to Nevdda City as well as to any other town: We find this factto exist, that no community éver prospered, notown éver grew without some sort of combined effort for the general good—without some expenditure of money. The towns that have happened to possess men who worked together for the general good have forged ahead, while those that have had men of greater conservatism, who have been content to sit down and let fortune come, have gone to decay, or have not progressed. People who would progress must do something—must take some chances, Some towns have invested in railroads, and have madeit win. At this age itis hard to call to mind a town that has grown to any importance without having put out some sort of exertion ; without having done something other than to sit down and let prosperity come or go, according to its whim.

The Daily Transcript, THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1889. A Grand sight. Tuesday night at about a quarter of ten o’clock a ‘‘shooting star’’ started from the zenith of the heavens and descending in an easterly direction apparently struck the earth near the westerly basé of Banner Mountain. Captain Henry Richards and his son Will: were driving home from town at the time and had reached the railroad trestle at Gold Run. There was no moon. Suddenly the Gold Flat country was illumined as if by hundreds of electric lamps. The gentlemen say the scene was so brilliantly lighted up as to be dazzling, and they could have seen the second marks on their watches or to read the finest print. The horse was stopped. The lumi’ nous body came down very slowly, the observers estimating that fifteen seconds elapsed from the time it started till it disappeared behind some trees half a mile or less distant from where they were. As it went out of sight it seemed to burst into fragments. The tail-was vari-colored, wide as a housedoor, and stretched from the zenith to the horizon as the main portion disappeared. Captain Richards and his son say that no human words can describe the grandeur of the spectacle. They fully expected to hear a deafening explosion as the meteor came to. terra firma, and braced themselves for it; but there was no sound save their own quickened breathing and the snorting of the affrighted horse. The very stillness that surrounded them added to the awfulness of the situation. A Meritorious Invention. A. Gauthier, a prominent mine owner of Grass Valley, has in his recently .invented plate-amalgamator what practical mill-men pronounce to be of great value. It canbe readily placed in position to receive the ore-pulp from the battery, and may have its inclination suitably adjusted and regulated, a shaking or vibratory motion being imparted to it by-simple mechanism.. In-the ordinary amalgamating device there is a great dis* advantage, because, the plates being set at a suitable inclination:and there being so much. water used, the quicksilver which is put upon the plates does not remain, but much of it is washed down the incline with the sand and is lost. . Mr. Gauthier’s machine obviates this trouble, allowing the use of a great deal more quicksilver without subjecting it to waste, while the sand is disposed of with less water. Ceunty Supervisors. At Tuesday afternoon’s. session of the County Supervisors Fred Searls appeared before the Board with a deed from Elisha Hampton of land embraced in the county hospital grounds and containing 30-100 Sf an acre. At Wednesday’s sessioh the report of the viewers of the private road in Grass Valley and Rough and Ready townships was taken up again and read.’ M. J. Higgins, non-consenting land owner, who was cited to appear before the Board and show cause why _ he should not consent to the proposed road, was present and made a statement. On the other side appeared C. W. Reed, J. R. Nickerson, S.C. Hamblin, Alex. Ridinger and others. R. Noel and D. McPhetres were appointed by the Board as a committee to view the said road. © . J. R. Nickerson made a deposit of $150 with the Clerk on account of the south branch of said road. Much Cry, Little Wool. It is alleged through the Grass Valley Union and the Grass Valley Telegraph that certain affidavits (numbering about 140) which it is claimed that Boston Ravine citizens made as to their. vote on Sheriff in the last election, and which were drawn out of the County Clerk’s office by the District Attorney, and taken by the latter to his office, are ‘‘missing.” The Vnion and Telegraph endeavor to make it appear by inuendo that the papers have been stolen.’ It is far more likely that they have been careJessly mislaid, as_ according to those papers’ own statements no person could gain anything by stealing or destroying them. The Derbec Mine. At the Derbec drift mine there are 135 men on the pay-roll and about 125 work. @ing steadily. This is as big a force as has ever been employed there. Under Superintendent Galavotti’s very intelligent and energetic management good results are being obtained. . Mr. Galavotti is entitled-to the highest degree of credit for the mannerin which he handles the peony: An Appeal Taken. The mining case of Christina De Noon vs. A. RB. Morrison. and’ others, recently won in the Superior Court by plaintiff, has been by defendants appealed to the Supreme Court. The principal ground 'of appeal is that anTHE NATIONAL CAPITAL. am Interesting Col Collection of General Gossip. Wasnrxeton D. C. July 11, 1889. Epitor Transcriet—The town is smiling at the dignified, not to say haughty, departure of the Persian Minister for the land of his fathers. The Persian mind looks with disfavor upon the publication of attacks, either humorous or ctberwise,, upon the Shah of the faithful. The. master evidently takes more kindly to such abuse than doesthe man, inasmuch as_ the Shah still remains in England, where the most scandalous stories of his filthy habits have been published and where the people look upon him as a great show something in the line of the the “hairy man” or the ‘‘dog-faced_ ebild.’?’ The truth is,I believe, that behind the loftyresignation of the Persian minister, with the laundry name, is a lowly motive. Ever since his arrival here,’ the envoy has longed for home. The Coreans who fled home in six montis were as nothing to the Persian diplomat. But he might have had the courage to say so, and not have gone hawling home with a tin can tied.to his tail. America never meant to insult the grandee, but cannot be responsibie for his failure to underatand a joke. The President’s family is located for the summer at beautiful Deer Park, where Benjamin Harrison McKee can hit the bahy over the head with as many dusters ashe chooses and find other relaxations from the burdens ‘society imposes on the juvenile great. The President has announced that he will spend as much time with them as is possible, only remaining in tuwn when absolutely necessary. No President in the last half century has passed the entire summer at the White House. The hot, stifling air ofa city is not to be avoided by. a hundred feet of grass plot in front of any house, and house, and.‘ every ‘President has thoroughly learned this fact and hast sought rest and rejuvenation in the open country or by the sea. When one speaks of the uncertain tenure of office under the spoils system he does not allude to the example of white-haired George Bartle who. was appointed from Virginia as a clerk in the State Department forty-four-years ago. For more years than he cares to remember, Mr. Bartle has his desk in Pardons” and has acted askeeper of the great seal. Here he fills out commissions for whosoever the President sees fit to ‘‘repose trust and confidence in,’ aiid affixes the seal. The seal cost over $1,000. Itis a mammoth affair and has a table of itsown. The pressure is applied by turning a long steel bar with a heavy ball on either end, which movement screws down the hammer with great force. The design of the seal face is fully designated by a law enacted June 20th, 1782. There have been four seals in use since the foundation of the government, and these are preserved in the State Department. All were intended to conform to the law, but one failed inimportant particulars. When Daniel Webster was made Secretary of State hefound the old seal badly worn and he ordered a new one. By some mischance the eagle on the new. seal held only six, instead of thirteen, arrows in his sinister talon, and the red stripes, or pales asthey are called in heraldry, were twice the width of the white, instead of being of equal width. These inaccuracies were not corrected for many years and indeed were never objected to by such lucky gentlemen as happened from time to time to 4nd the impress on their commissions. The last and correct seal was made by Tiffany, and no effort was spared to improve the picture of the eagle, so that now no American need feel ashamed of the picture of the proud bird of freedom on his pardon or his commission as the case may be. The Washington Post has applied a severe test to the public school system of the capital, and inits issue of yesterday gave its readers the fruits of the investigation, Twenty-two thousand pupils of the various grades engaged in acontest foreleven gold medals and eleven ‘honorable mentions.”’ The successful compositions, as published are so unfortunately weak that one shrinks from. the thought of what drivel. the unsuccessful ones must contain. Even after weeks of preparation, after downright aid at home and friendly criticism from teachers, only three of the efforts deserve even honorable mention. The lesson, is as Senator Ingalls, says, ‘an easy one. If the public schools fail toteach pupils the use of lucid’ English and do not develop in 22,000 scholars twenty two fairly good writérs, the system is a failure as it exists in Washington. The postoffice after” hunting everyabout decided upon leasing the First Presbyterian Church, which is quite far enough out of the lines of travel to secure the clerksimmunity from the public. The church is situated on Four-and-a-half street, which has-long been abandoned as a thoroughfare, being too far down town. In this church Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland nual work done on one mining claim does not hold an adjoining claim when it does not develop the latter. A Months Trip. A.D.

SEARCHING FOR FOSSILS. An Appeal to Miners and Others For Information. — The following communication which has been sent to the Transcript for publication will be read with interest: An investigation ot the Gold Belt of California by the U. 8. Geological Survey is now in progress. The area embraced exterdsa from the crest of Sierra Nevada to the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, and reaches from Quincy, Piumas county, to the neighborhood of: Yosemite valley. The topographical maps (of which half: are done) are contoured and will be published on a scale of two miles to the inch, with the geology indicated as minutely as the scale will permit. Maps on larger scales will be made of the particularly important localities. When completed copies of all of them will be sold, with the explanatory text, by the Government at the cost of reproduction. The geological investigation of ‘this area, comprising about 12,000 square miles, will be pushed as rapidly as is consistent with thoroughness; but, at best, it must occupy a number of years. For the sake of hastening the work I desire to make an appeal to your readers: wee A large part of the area of the Gold Belt is occupied by schists, slates, quartzites and limestones, which ordinarily stand in a nearly vertical position, or are much disturbed and tilted at all sorts of angles. In these rocks fossils are known to have been found ata very few points, ana these remains indicate that formations of at least three distinct ages are involved; viz., carboniferous, jura-trias and neocomian. The known fossiliferous localities. however are so few, that it is impracticable by their aid alone to map the formations. To furnish satisfactory maps of the Gold Belt we must find more fossiliferous localities, and we are making every effort during the field work to discover them. Butin a region so extensive and so scantily supplied with remains, it is largely a matter of chance whether one hits upon a fossil-bearing bed or passes by it. Now it seems to me in the highest degree probable’ that some of your readers, miners, school-teachers and others interested in natural phenom-] p; ena, are aware of places where fossils are to be found, but have never called public attention to them. I desire to “appeal to all such for aid. In return for authentic information they will receive public acknowledgment in the reports of the Survey, and I shall be able to extend to them some limited facilities for acquiring advance sheets maaps, but I can offer no money. Fossils. in the beds in question will in all probability be only shells, or rather the impressions of shells with little or no material recognizable by itself as shells. I request that information be addressed to me, and ask that the description of localities may be as minuté as possible, so that a collector may lose no time in finding the exact spot.” Definite and characteristic fossils have so far been found in the following localities: The ridge to the west of Gennessee valley in Plumas county, and to the east of Taylorville; Parraih’s ranch, northeast of Pence’s ranch, in Butte county; in Sailorcanyon, southeast of Cisco; in a railroad cut one mile from Colfax ;.in Big canyon north of Placerville ; near Robert’s ferry, on the Stanislaus river; the Mariposa estate north of Bear valley. Imperfect or uncharacteristic fossils have also been found in the limestone at Cave City, Calaveras county, near Colfax, and elsewhere. Yours truly, Geo. F. Becker, U.S. Geologist in charge.

Joy for many years and now prosperous druggist on tho corner of Stockton and Market streets in San Fr bl, never dreamed of rivaling in wealth the medi. cine kings of the country. But various rumors having been floating around to the effect that he has struck it big, an ‘Ezaminer reporter was detailed to unearth the cause, and after much difficulty unraveled tho following story: It seems that about seven years ago an English physician, 2 great stud@nt of botany, located in this city. His practice was not extensive, and yet the few cases that camo to him attracted no little attention. His success seemed to be in the treatment of liver and kidney disorders, and vitiated blood. In fact his ability to cope with these common complaints was marvelous. He seemed almost infallible, and his quiet modest methods and his well-kept secret was as much a mystery as himself, After his departure about a year later Mr. Joy determined to fathom the secret, and copying all the prescriptions he had filled for the erratic doctor he began a systematic analysis, Ih his exam: ination he discovered running all through the prescriptions for liver and kidney troubles, vitiatea blood and st hb disorders a of vegetable extracts indigenous to California, so simple and #0 well known under homely every day na mes to every school boy as to entirely dissipate the suspicion that they were the active principles involved, So certain, however was Mr. Joy that he had discovered the secret, that he embodied the new elements in a preparation of Sarsaparilla to disguise the taste, and put it before his customers under the modest name of Joy’s Vegetable Sarséparilla. Immediately the same marvelous stories came back of its astonishing effects, and the mystery was solved, and the talk it has created has alzeady caused it to step into prominence, and orders pour in daily from all over the coast.

Hydraulic mining has not yet ceased, consequenly there is unexpended by authority of Congress $122,367.99. When the mining ceases then the army of engineers will begin with the projected improvements with any moneys appropriated in future, unless otherwise directed by Congress. It is proposed to continue the work with the snagboat after she is repaired, and to add wing dams as may be required. Below Marysville both the Sacramento because of the material mined and dumped into the rivers and their tributaries.

There is yet unexpended $112,367, of which $100,000 cannot be used until under the Act of Congress the Secretary of War has satisfied himself that hydraulic mining has ceased. Asit has not ceased, these funds are not available. A further sum of $14,000 has been set aside for legal expenses in connection with the suppression of hydraulic mining.” Towns ThatGo Ahead. — The following from the Colusa Sun applies to Nevdda City as well as to any other town: We find this factto exist, that no community éver prospered, notown éver grew without some sort of combined effort for the general good—without some expenditure of money. The towns that have happened to possess men who worked together for the general good have forged ahead, while those that have had men of greater conservatism, who have been content to sit down and let fortune come, have gone to decay, or have not progressed. People who would progress must do something—must take some chances, Some towns have invested in railroads, and have madeit win. At this age itis hard to call to mind a town that has grown to any importance without having put out some sort of exertion ; without having done something other than to sit down and let prosperity come or go, according to its whim.
