= —— 13, _ sited thee 4 1867. Townsnir.—We recently ork Township, taking in our course a look at Quaker Hill, and. Hunt’s Hill on this side of the Greenhorn Glock! Trkeke pikota oi this ide andl the Several to in, Little. York Township, are located. along the course of the great Blue Lead,. which winds its way a the township, under {ts ridges, and over which once the crystal waters of a beautiful river rippled. ,At Quaker Hill, Jacobs &. Sargent are working several sets of hydraulic elaime.asid the prospect is tijost encour aging, . At Green Mountain, between Quakerand Hunt's Hills, thesame parties have just opened on the Blue Lead, and struck first-rate pay. ‘They havea bank ten or twelve feet deep and rich from*bed-rock ‘to top gravel. “At Hunt’s Hill ‘several companies are at work sa? all are cee excel: Jently. TO i Red Dog, which. was PMc “i fire last Summer, presents a better ap nce tn ever. ‘The hotises ate moré substantial and present a‘neater appearance than the old. buildings. “The long continued ~~ storm andrthe heavy losses ‘by ‘fite, have business-dull, but a number of hy dratlic claims have been started, and the people anticipate a lively Spring and Summer. ‘The Odd Fellows’ Hall has. been fiuch enlarged, and a new Masonic Hall is being erected. Thepeople seem to be permanently settled sat vide great interest in all public improvemen . The-eement mines in the viein: of ¥ou Bet are sald to be doing first-rate. Brawn, " Collins, Heydliff and Neece & West, a taking out first-rate. cement, besides these several sets of hydraulic claims are being . a8 ‘@tarted up. The military company, the Little York Union Guard, whose head. quarters are at this place, have a fine Arthory,atid maintain their organization well. They muster between seventy and eighty men, At Little York the Blue Léad has also been opened and a large amount of gold taken out, but the prospecting has not been so extensive here as in other parts of the township. The miners have made exten‘sive préparations on the Little York ridge, for hydraulic mining, and. there is'a prospect that large returns will be received fom .this source next season, The citizens of Little York Township and upper Placer county have inaugurata project for the constraction of. a: road ‘Dutch Flat to You Bat, . This. road -will give the Placer county people direct commani¢ation with the city of “Neyadag @rid will be a great convenience to'the people-of both localities. ‘The: company has dlready been formed and the completion of. the road may be put down as a fixed” fact. Mack miners of Little York Township Were’ the first in the State to use stamps stat working of cement, and their ‘sucGoss has led others, wherever channels of anciént tivers have. been opened, to oe five or six ‘miles in length, abo sixteen mills have been erected, ai inf the ‘Past Yui" thétsands of do hate heensaliet ont, Much pf-this . is yet whprospecthd, ‘and its . __will give employment to years tortie! “Phe Seales "pn will not.deter men of enterprise fron: secking, for the gold, whieh. is, tn: this t channel, and though there’ ‘tiny. be ecm ly, we ‘predict ‘tlie theetot prosperity of arsine ‘York x how ‘ ship fo for years to come.

Tiapt pears that the workmen had opened into some old works a day or two before, when a slight explosion took place. On the 2Ath three men’ went into the tunnel; éach tar rying a candle,;one of whom was about 100 feet in advance of his companions,near where; When’ he fied “arrived ‘uta’ éertain point, # sliglit explosion took place, when, in am ingtant, they. were. all. thrag:enve)oped in flames . , .The, TRanscRipT is in, formed that there appeared to be two heal rents of gas, and thatthe flame follow the lower one and returned toward the two"men’ by’ the ufiper’ one.” “ft bu very much like. alcohol, and“ like . thunder.” ‘The man farthest itt was considerably burned aboat'the faceand hands, and,the othem, hed. their, hair, and beard singed, but neither of the men, Wee seriously injured. The’ pheridhiena of thé peculidir actidn of the: flame or explosion may, be explained in the following manner: There were, as is generally the casein all tunnels, two currents of air—an. upper and a lower one. Whenever any of the lighter or inflammable gateés are allowed to réach thé atmosphere, they are immediately, taken up and carried along by air currents, if-any exist. The gas appears to have a disposition to concentrate in. the. center.or.s portion of:the current. In the above case the ag he quiet: atmosphere in the cen” eof the tunnel did not contain enough become éXplosive but formed medium through which the fire could not pass from one current tothe other! Hence, the flame was confined to a narrow flow of gas, along the centeref each curtent, passing from the candle w lighted it by the lower or heavier current. to the end of the tunnel, and back again he upper or lighter and outward current <i mouth ot the same. ~ A phenomenon’ similar ‘to the above occurred at the time of the explosion in the Masonic Temple, in this city, about two years ago. The man who witnessed it, stated that the fire appeared to move from his candle, as ife train had been set from the place where he: stood in .a direct line across thé room ; it'no doubt followed a current of air, thite which it had been drawn from the leak; and by Which it Was being sonveyéd oat of the building’ through a window: opening near the sidewalk.
