And the same analy be said of all the towns on the Ridge, ieleding San Joan. That “miles.upom miles of deep and rich gravel” exist in that section of our county is pest dispute, and i is admitted by every mining expert in San Francisco who has ever visited that section, a8 the Alla will discover if it will refer to their reports upon the subject.

From the character, energy and long mining experience of these men, we shall expect to see the work pasbed forward with all-thevim characteristic of these gentlemen. Their location is on the channel between North Blomfield aud Moores Flat. We sured. The Moores Fiat Biue Grav-{* el Mining Company are steadily and energetically pushing their work forshaft, which will conduct the sarface water; is now more than half ‘completed. The main shaft bas been sumk.100 feet, and finding too much sofface water to contend with, they were foreed to stop the sinking . and complete the drain tunnel, which they are ranning day and night. All of their machinery isin place, and as soon as the strface water has been drained, sinking will be resumed with vigor; so that bedrock will be reached by the first of Jane. Then we expect.to bear of large results, as that portion of the channel is known to be very rich. The Moores Flat Company hae as fine ground as there is in the State. Their location is convenient; with plenty of wood and water, for economical working. The ability displayed in the management, and the perseverance in overcoming every obstacle, has given the community confidence in the company’s final succéas.— The Bald Mountain Mining Company have just cleaned up their dump of _ gravel which bad sccamulated during the dry weather, and taken . over $200,000 in gold out of it, They have over 150 men drifting in the mine. They are in on the chdanel about one mile, and have a small lo}comotive to draw the gravel out. The locomotive has proven to be very efficient. The mine is in splendid shape, and .we. look for large returns from theté this year.

It has paid altogether £3 10 s per share on 150,000 shares. ‘The owners have, however, known for some little time that they were drawing near the end. of profitable working e Directors, egraphed out hére to get an offer for the property.

A somewhat carious circumstance was that the manager of the property here, McLean, was willing’to bay it, and there was no competitor. The company tried to sell the outlet toan adjoining company, but they refused to buy. Very little money was spent on the plant by the company, although they bought the iron and made the pipe on the ground. Mr. McLean's idea in bidding was that, perhaps, if the price of water was reduced, he could work the side dit ata profit, apart from which the mine was of no value. The geueral impression of the meeting beld ia London on the Ist ult., was that they were not justified inkeeping up the Organization, A resolution was offered and passed, recommending the Directors to dispose of the property of the company.in Qulifornpia, on the ‘best terms possible and to call a meeting of the company to wind up, appoint a liquidator, and divide the assets. This being uaanimously agreed to, it was subsequently resolved to telegraph to Mr. Mclean that the shareholders would accept ao offer of $15,000 plus the balance in hand (£500) sabject to an imme diate reply frum him.” Tunxet.—There is some talk of a tanuel enterprise of consequence being insugorated in Grass Valley. Osborne Hill is about as bigh a point as there is about Grass Valley, andit is alsoa buge mountain. In that mosotsin are hundreds of quartz ledges that crop out, and there are many, no doubt, that do not. show themselves upon the surface. Ousborne Hill quartz ledges are » bearers, almost every one of er The talk is that's tunnel should be run into the hill to a distanee that would suffice to drain all the ledges ‘towlow depth. It is expected that such a tunnel would cat a great many now unknown ledges of paying ore. We believe the enterprise to be praccable, and we furthermore think that it would pay.

The Marysville Appeal has the following: “The gardeners of Europe a considerable extent by training all kinds: of fruit trees over ‘trellises, stone walls, and other places wher In America bat little of the fancy gardening is seen, and probably on that account our attention was more closely arrested the other day, says the Stockton Independent, while visiting Roberts’ Island, to motice a large pesch tree in front of Aug.

It covered about 200 square feet, and 4 portion of the branches bad. been turned at s right angle around the corner of the porch. It wasin Yioom, it appeared very handsome and we were struck with the idea as being
quite an excellent one, Any one can try the experiment without difficulty by taking alittle pains to train and prune the wayward branches while young. We have seen tig trees trained in this way in Eastern hot houses with excellent effect. Tux New York Herald says: The religious papers are discuysing the best way to pronounee the benediction. Let the minister so pronounce it that be includes himself in its prayer. A great many ministers. say, “The Lord be with you,’’ when they ought to say, “The Lord be with as.” We are ailiraveling together and what one wants all want. Thereis a larger matter in connec. tion with worship which ought to be criticised to the hilt of the sword. It is the habit of getting ready to go out of church while the benediction is being attered. One man puts on his eoat, another fumbies after his hat, in as great eagerness as though pe word “Amen” were equivalent to word “Go."’ Itisa painfal thing to bolt one’s food, bat to bolt one’s religion and then bolt for the door is neither just to one's self nor decorous toward the offices of relgion.
