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

. 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. We yesterday received a
