i aS FA 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. grain isin the milk. It was produ~¢edin Stockton, on the grounds of R. W. .. “Miller. Some of the stalks were tlirée feet in length, with heads fully developed. _ The samples are not accidental bunches, ‘but were taken from ‘No Farse Anarms.—Since the Paid Fire Department of San Francisco went ' ‘Ento operation, no false alarm of fire has been given in that city. at, Albany, New York: Mr. Peter Curley PO rien of being Be.

Transeript :—In your articlé wpon “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, and all indications point towards a pros. perous Spring. a N. Bloomfield, Jan. 25th, 1867. a ServVED THEM RigHt.—A man in Lewisburg, Preble county, Ohio, having died of delirium tremens, his wife brought suit for damages against two men of whom he had been-accustomed to buy liquor. The County Court awarded her $500 from one of the men and $200 from the other. ts j Tue death of a remarkable rabbi of the Jewish Church ofGermany is announced.

So says the Sacramento Bee. ~nenteninn 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. ee — ARRIVALS AT THE NATIONAL EXCHANGE HOTEL.
