Townsnir.—We recently

our course a look at Quaker Hill, and.
Hunt’s Hill on this side of the Greenhorn

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

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

has informed us of an explosion which bic builds
occurred in Curran & Buckman’s mine,
‘in Tittle Yorl,fon the 24 at. 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.
Gas,. avhien / mtixed in. snaall quantity, . J
only, with, atmospheric air, will:burn but
slowly,.as above described, “ hal.”
