COUNTY & CITY OFFICIAL PRESS.
works and engine have already been described in these columns. We recently
ar
Ss visited the mine and found the-new mill
“wieeted with the hoisti sting works and is to
be run by the same engine, which can
_" @asily be worked to one hundred and
twWelity horse power. The mill house is
twenty-four by sixty feet. . The battery .
has ten stamps, weighing 750 pounds each.
The foundation consists of heavy timbers
set on end in the ground to the depth of
six feet, and thoroughly braced and bolted. The battery frame'is one of the most
substantial in the county. The stamps
_ : fate to be lifted by single cams, .The rock
is dropped from the car-landing at the foot
“Of the battery. There are amalgamating
plates in. the battery. The pulp is run
into Atwood’s agitators, over Hungarian
rifles and copper plates, a distance of
twenty-eight feet, when it is dropped upon
Bradford's separators. No pans will be
‘used in the mill. It is expected that the
mill will be ready, for work in about ten
days—and it looks as though it would do
its work well. ; —
The California mine has an arrangement
for preparing and sending down timbers
which we have not seén in any other mine,
and which is,for its great convenience worthy of imitation by all: who construct such
works. Theroom in which the timbers
are prepared for the mine is in front of.and
overtheincline. ‘A cat track runs into this
' Yoom, which is connected to the incline by
means of a bridge which can be raised or
lowered. The truck can be run into the
shop, loaded, and sent down into the mine
without either delay or extra help. By
this simple contrivance much and
money is saved. .
The level where the e is now being
_Opened is 240 feet below the surface. A
tunnel has been run and the ledge stripped 175 feet in ofte direction and 40 feet in
another. No breasting has been done but
one h and twenty tons of first-rate
rock has been taken out. The ledge prets an excellent appearance and by the
/ time the mill is ready to start it will be
sufficiently opened to enable the ownersto
take out rock to advantage. The machin. .
ery on the California ledge was erected by
‘the Eagle Company of Connecticut, of
which J.M. Pattee is the general agent,
are under the superintendance of. Horace
Ferre of this city. :
A¥TER the trial of the case involving
the right of Bigler to hold the office of
Federal Assessor by the President’s ap.
pointment without the assent of the Sen:
ate, Judge Baldwin promised a decision
within five days. Twice that time has
ulmost elapsed and yet the decision has
not been rendered. It matters little what
the decision. is, so far as Tahoe is con.
cerned, for he has been rejected by the
Senate, and cannot hold the office anyway
Yut-asit involves an important point in
regard to the appointing power, raised for
__othe first time in the courts, the decision
is looked for with great interest.
BARLY. GRAIN.—The Stockton Inde
pendent has in its office samples of Wheat,
barley, oats and canary seed, of the present year’s growth, nearly matured,.—

“The Ligeat Press,” “im a late paper, you
to aid you In securing information in reest.” “Thiel have endeavored to do when
anything occurred beyond a dog fight,
to your readers: Although you claim
‘that “every man engaged in a pursuit is
qualified to give a fair account of his and
his neighbor's success” may be true in
the main, yet I believe we Californians
have a gteater aptitude to speak and write
of our neighbor's affairs than of our own,
& at *
or my qualifications, and without: any
apology for “good shape,” I send. you
these few items of my “neighbor's suc
cesses.” e2
Up to this time ‘but little work has been
done in the way of mining, owing to the
fact that but few were ready to take ad.
vantage of our first storm. The N. B.
Gravel Mining Co. since their location
here, have worked with indefatigable energy. They have now about 700 feet of
their main flume built, Its size is 6 feet
wide and 2 feet deep. As a combination
of neatness arid. strength the work will
compare favorably with any structure
ofthe kind in the State. They’ have
about 80 feet 6f their main tunnel run.—
This was done by days’ work, but now a
change has been made and the owners
have let it out by contract, the terms of
which I have not learned. They have, also, by running a smaller tunnel, opened
out one set of claime and made one run
with remarkable good success, clearing
some two thousand dollars. ;
C. Ruff has fitted up the old Pettijean
diggings, having putin a new 380 inch
flume, being about 26 feet deeper in the
claims than the flume through which Pettijean worked. He has also made one run
and cleaned up exceedingly well, making
five dollars per day to the hand.
B.C. Black has just cleaned up the snug
little sum of $2,100 for 8 days’ run.
8 or 4 days, but on account of the present
heavy fall of snow have suspended operations fora time, and I believe all others
will have to do the same, unless a fall of
rain should come and take away some of
the snow which now covers the ground
to the depth of 2 feet. With this at our
very doors and no mining going on, I expect you think we are very dull and lonesome. Not so. Here you see a batch of
rollicking boys, old and young, snow-ball.
ing each other, There, in the distance,
with a whoop and a hurrah is a troop
swiftly sliding down the hill on hand sleds.
Here with merry laugh and. many a fall,
is a crowd of both sexes practicing on snow
shoes. There, just gone by, are four happy hearts gliding smoothly along to the
music of the merry sleigh-bells. Why
should they not.enjoy it. If our pockets
are light our hearts are light also, for in
that in which we now enjoy ourselves,
snow, pinion us an abundance of water,

A Goo Wonp.—The Tribune has 3. good
word for California. It calls attention to
its great agricultural advantages, to its
capabilities and fineness for the production
of wheat flax, hemp, fruit—semi-tropical,
such as the orange and oliveas well as the
varieties peculiar to the temperate zone; to
its special adaptation for silk culture and
to the excellence ofits grasses. It alludes
to the new process of salting meat recently
discovered in Buffalo as a means. by which
Californians may overcome the difficulties
heretofore encountered in preserving their
surplus meats and concludes by say
ing: “One thing about California is certainly refreshing. Onecan live there
cheaper than in the States and ona greater
variety of food. This should be a great inducement to immigrants for there are
plenty of men who pay as much to support their familiesa year as would buy a
good farm in California.”
THE MaNnuractrory.—New branches
ofindustry are being established almost
daily in California and if the enterprise of
our peoplein this direction continue we
willin a few years manufacture sufficient
of the leading articles of consumption to
supply the demand. We learn from the
Bulletin that a new woolen mill for the
manufacture of knit goods such as hose,
on Turk street. The mill is at present
occupied with the manufacture of what are
called “shaker” hose, a heavy ribbed article.of excellent quality. About forty hands
areemployed in the mill and as many
more outside in toeing the socks the latter
work being done by hand. From fifty to
one hundred dozen pairs of hose are turned
out daily of sorts known as grey and white
and the specimens examined were equal
ifnot superior tothe very best brought
into this market.
Miss JENNIE PARKER, who made her
first. appearance on Monday at Maguire's
Opera House in Colleen Bawn, did not
meet with much public favor. The Call
says she is pretty but does not fascinate
the public.
THE Trinity Journal is out strong in
favor of John Bidwell for Governof.
