Aight, and the counters—of our stores
were filled with specimens from.the
mines ‘in that locality. No-mining
enterprises were undertaken in this
vicinity, and those who doubted the
-—yichness of Reese were shown specimens
containing niore than half. their bulk
of native silver, and many were: convinced. ‘ Business was sacrificed and
store after store closed, in. order that
the new district might be reached.
Those who remained held stock and
: paid assessments, or made up purses to
‘send otliers over. The. fire came and
destroyed the town and all those who
had gone away predicted that it would
‘nevér be rebuilt. During this dull pe-~
“yiod the Sneath & Clay and Unionmines were struck, and the péople having little else to do, went to prospecting
for quartz. The result was that other
mines were found, and among them the
“Banner. These discoveries, the first
of which was purely accidental, aroused
the people, aud directed attention to the
unprospected districts of. the county.
_Many new mines were discovered in
Grass Valley, and, in course of time attention was directed. to Eureka. \Many
of those who had gone to-.Reese river
began to return and engage in mining
* here. The result has been entirely sat“jsfactory, and demonstrated the richness
_of Nevada county asa mining district.
Within the past two years considerable
attention has been directed to the de-.
velopment of gravel. mines and the
result has been highly satisfactory.
Though some failures has occurred,
those engaged in mining have, in the
main, been successful, and this has been
exceedingly favorable to the county,
which now stands first among the
mining districts. of the State. The
prospecting is still continued, and there
is every probability that many new
mines will be added to the list which
“are profitably worked, within another
year, unless our people wish the unfortunaté experience of ‘Reese: river repeated in White Pine. The circum* stances are not now so favorable for an

everything in his favor and if le will,

THE VaLtLEJO RoutE—W. 8. Talbott, better known in’ this locality as
Billy Talbott, now in the employ of the
California Pacific Railroad was in this
city yesterday. He informs us that
since the steamer, New World was put
on the route, the time from San Francisco to Sacramento is three hours and
a helf,and the fare in;the first class
cars is $4; second class $2. The line
will be completed to Marysville by
September next. By this route there
is a great saving of time to’ those who
leave Sacramento at half past 2 o’clock,
and passengers-arrive at the Bay about
5 o’clock. On the return trip passengers are landed in Sacramento at half
past seven or eight o’clock, and have
an evening at the capital:
PoWER. There’ are now in California,
as shown by the reports of the County
Assessors, 62 steam flour ‘mills, with 205
run of stone,and 67 water, with 116 run
of stone, all of which turned out 1,000,413 barrels of flour, and ground 116,780
bushels of corn during the year. Saw
mills: 207 steam power, and 161 water
power, which produced 220,991,213 feet
of lumber; 108,007,000 shingles were
made. There are 360 quartz mills which
crushed 391,480 tons: of rock. __ Water

mills, six, which’ used. up 3,125,000

A PoPULAR German superstition—one
that, astonishing as it may seem, is_believed in by the educated as well asthe
ignorant, is: That the blood of a human
being, drank warm, is an almost certain
cure tor epilepsy. Consequently every
execution is attended by the victims-of
this terrible disease, with cups and ves-.
sels ready to catch the warm life~blood
ofthe condemned. .The executioner
after getting everything in’ position,
with one short, quick stroke, generally
inchned-se-that--the epileptics-may—-be
able to catch: the crimson tide. . They
eagerly drink allthey can get, and seem
!to be troubled not in the-least by the
terribly disgusting nature o/ their acts.
The theory is, among the more highly
educated, thatthe great-bodily and
mental excitement consequent upon the
performance of this feat overcomes and
cures the disease. All this in the nineteenth century !
