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 excitement. as during the period we Then the shallow diggings had been, generally, worked out,.and it was believed that paying quartz could not be found outside of Now, ‘many of the deep digyings have been opened, and the indications of rich quartz from the foot—hills to the eastern limit It is therefore doubtful whether the White Pine excitement can do us so much harm as did the the previous ones ; but we-still have among us the same class of croakers, who predict all manner of “evil concerning the future prospects of have just-spoken of.

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 ditches for irrigating purposes, 720 irrigating 79,589 acres ot land, Woolen mills, six, which’ used. up 3,125,000 pounds of, wool—about half the wool product of the State.

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 !
