TUESDAY, “BEC, 225 1868. Forest Oeuery wescie./Pbe “Amencan. forests. are being. rapidly. swept away before the advancement of civilization. Fhe area of the back woodsman is being rapidly cireumscribed, and it has become a question where the supply of timber for fature generations is to comefrom. The only course to parsue is to protect the timber we now have from wanton destruction, and hy en-— couragement and protection for those who engage in the-cultivation of forest trees. It is estimated that at the present ratio of consumption the immense pine forests of Michigan will be entirely exhausted in five years. The estimated receipts of lumber in the Uhicago market for the present year is a thousand millions of feet. The Horticultural ‘Recordersays.: “Allowing this to be onequarter of all that is taken out of our _ forests, four thousand million feet: will be'the amount, and in less. than thirty years thie last ‘Requiem of the Pine’ “will have been sung where all the resources of pine now lie.” In our own State large districts of immense timber resources have been exhausted; the ax of the wood-chopper, the saw mill and the fires, that have swept through our forests, have made sad havoc ainng the magnificent groves of California, and these agents are yearly sweeping down the timber and makihg greater encroachments apon the mountains. At the present rate it will notbe many years before the want 6f wood’and lumber will,be sorely felt on this coast. The laws of the State for the protection of forests from incendiary fires should be strictly enforced, and the vation of such trees as the sugar pine, spruce, redwood ‘and ‘others, which may become useful for timber. In many European countries these trees have been carefully guarded by . governinent, but in America, where the. forests covered every hill, and where,till within « few years, no fears have been stark in mE Mrnine.—The people of San ,-the imen d a a i nate Se go" . Some the riclyness of the new district ; but the ailiners of Nevada county cet tainly ought to know that a rich specimen ora large assay is not conclusive evidence of the richness of a mine. We will venture to say there are fifty mines: in Nevada county from which rock can be cbtained that -will-beat anything that has yet been discovered in White /, Pine. The quartz mines of this county: are not yet developed; their development isslow work. ln Eureka, Meadew Lake, Grass Valley and Nevada Townships there are hundreds of mines that have not been thoroughly prospected, which give good evidence of richness. They show good rock and:éxcellent assays. People do not go crazy about the quartz mines of this county becatse they are not. far enough away. The quartz mines of Nevada county if located in Mexico, would carry off one-third the population of the State, Qur people remember that, within a few year» Fellows took $50,000 from a ledge in a few weeks, with a hand mortar. This story, told of White Pine, would ‘start ascore of men; but as it was done in Nevada county it did not create so much excitement. Hundreds. of rich strikes in this county might be cited, giving more evidence of great mineral wealth than has been given in regard to White Pine, and if men wonki go to work there are better chances of new district, Weagain urge the people not :to. make fools of :thenselves about White Pine. ‘Tue Linn Co., a Woolen Mill, located at Brownsville, was sold under the hammer at the Court House a few weeks ago, tosatisfy judgments against at. The mill was bought in by one of the judgment creditors forthe sum of $5,430. The outside judgments against the concern amounted in the aggregate to ten thousand dollars. ABOUT a dozen rabbits were let es in Barton Park; belonging to a gentleman in South Australia, some few years felt that they would ever be exhausted, . ago, and recently, in one year, 15,000 there has been an almost reckless waste of timber. If this is continued for half a centuty little of these magnificent forests will be left, and we will be compelled to bring much of our lumber. from other countries. SrraTMan Angap.—Jack Stratman of San Francisco has raised. the blockade of mail matter and is now receiving regular supplies of newspapers, magazinea and pictorials from all parts of the world.
