“THURSDAY, «MAY 25, 1871.
aE T. OURO eae
The beds ot sacient rivers, now filled
with aurterods gravel, being tar above
‘the beds of the present rivers that cross
thém, a fallte “afforded by which the
tailing# are: disposed’of’ after the first.
washing. Flumes as long as possible
‘are provided in which the washings
may be dissolved and the gold collected.
Sometimes the tailings are caught by
means of dams’ in ravines or guiches,
atter one washing, and allowed to lie
and decompose, when they are again
sluiced with satisfactory resalts.—
Where the.gravel is cemented, or con»
tains pipe clay, a. great. deal of. gold is
carried through tlie gluice and lost. A
Rugsian engineer, says the Bulletin,
sent out by his Government ‘to examine and report upon our modes of mins
ing, after conducting u series of ex~
periments, concluded that twenty-six
per cent. of the gold was wasted
in the first washing of the gravel of
the Bine Lead. He. expressed the belief that no such wasteful system would
be tolerated in any other country. The
second washing of rich gravel has generally paid, and a tail sluice has come
to be regarded as among the very best
_property in the mining region. _
It has often. bewn necessary to run
the. tailing from extensive diggings
into the bed of a river or lesser stream
to which there is little descent.
-piled—ten;-twenty;—fifty, and—even—a
hundred feet:dvep, for-mi'es in length.
That good things of this kind are left
untouched does not seém strange when
it is eoneldéréd that old miners, who
have sven the uncertainties attending
their calling, grow cautious, and even
cowardly, and when it is considered
there.ia little capital in the mining
region. The successtul operater, generally, invests his spare cash elsewhere.
The country is full of wen who have
made lucky strikes in the mines and
have gone elsewhere to enjoy their for.
tunes. So nearly universal is the rule, (
that no portion of the country has less
capital than that which has produced
enough of it to sensibly affect values
the world over, and no.secticn has less
faculties to obtain it,
Young: men who can spare a few
years, or men with abundant capital
and enterprise, and discretion to use it,
cao find a theatre for operations in the
mining region. Thus we account for
good things remaining untouched,
Mining is becoming more of a science.
Well, directed capital and: labor are
more sure of success. And in no kind
of mining is success-more suré than in
working large, deposits.of . tailings,
whith ‘have been washed but once.
The miner always kuiows what ie ahead
ofhim. (If he cats away rock to get
at his prize he can calculate what is is,
and what will’be the cost, He can cons
fidently count on no barren plades of
great extent in bis lead.’ “He tan lear
the nature of the ground he owns, and
eat know ‘all the difficulties in advance.
Let him obtain the «requisite grade for
his flame, look oat fora place to discharge the gravel, that: it -maynot
back up on him, anchor bis flame securely, that the floods of winter may
not wash it away, and he ie all right.
metimes but a small sam is neck
essuty to make an extensive. deposit
Pa , and at the same time afford
tice for working claims above; for
which much would be gladly paid.
Sometimes a large amount of capital is
required, but the prospect of good re.
turné is greater than in thousands of
cases where money is expended biidaly
and without stint, The object of th
article ig te attract attention toienterprises of a character divested as ‘much .
aa. possible of a gambling nature, and .
among them are sdch as these of which
we write. As an instance of enterprise in the. way of tail eluiging; and in
the right direction, may be mentioned

The Timber Lands.
It is a notable fact that while some}
ef the cow county and San Francisco
joarnals have opposed the Timber Land
bill proposed by Sargent jn the dast
Congress, those who are employed in
the business universally indorse the
measure, and immense petitions in its
favor were sent to Congress. _A cor~
respondent writing from Meadow Lake
township, speaking of the lumbering
business, says; “The lumbering business is being vigorously ‘prosecuted in
the. vicinity-of the Truckee, with a
large demand from Nevada und Utah.
In this branch of business the prospects
are better than for two years past. The
people are anxious: for the passage of
the-timber land bill, so that the timber
may be had by reasonable and fair
means. As it now stands, everybody
is partaking promiscavusly of timber
on the public lands, from which the
Government derives no benefit ; and it
is almost necessarily so, because timber
and Jumber thust be had; Homes and
shelter in timberless countries demand
it, but when the land is in market,
then the Government wil! receive pay .
therefor, and much treuble will be
the public secured.” Every shingle
nes carey maker, and many who -use
and manufacture lumber, remember the annoyance ‘that was occasioned
some two yeafs since about the stampage in this county. The law which
was then sought to be enforced was
passed by the Democracy and is still
upon the statute book. Tts enforcement would ruin every man in the
State who has occasion to cut timber
from the public lands, and all who resist would be liable to be brought before. the United States Courts. I+
was to remove the hardships imposed
by the law that the Timber Land
bill was designed, That bill unfortunately did not pass, and that men cuts
ting timber upon the public lands are
permitted to do uo, is owing entirely .
to the forbearance of the national au~
thorities. Should officers less disposed
to do justly get command of affairs
and enforce the Jaw, ‘the entire lumbering business would be ruined, Lam,
bermen, shake and shingle makers, and
in fact all who.cut -timber upon .the
public lands understand this, and there.
fore heartily endorse the Timber Land
bill as proposed by Congressman Sargent.
CRAWFORD IN CoLusa.—The Democracy have been trying the Crawford
county plan in Colusa county. As we
1,200 votes, and Johnson 167, making
a total ‘of 1,367 votes. As the entire
vote of Colusa in the: Presidential can»
vaes for both parties was only 1,088, }:
and of that number the Democratic
vote was 699, the recent contest shows
how well the Democracy can handle
the Crawford plan in a single handed
fight, As the Crawford plan enables
the people to select their own ‘sandi‘dates, of course there was no chance
for fraud, even in Colusa. If the friends
of Haight .oaly continue to grow .as
they have in Colusa, he is bound te get
the nomination, for Governor. and if it,
were not for the fact that voting in
the general election ‘must be dene in
each county at the same time, the Colusa experiment shows that bis elec~
tion as Governor would be sure. Evidently some of the sovereigns in Colu-.
a have been voting éarly and éften.

Curtna THE ScuRvY, —A writer in
1850 a party of winersin the mountains of Eldorado, prospecting in aa
isolated place where they were without
fresh meats and vegetable food, were
afflicted with scurvy. Six of the worst
cases were planted in the earth up te
with a chew of tobacco apiece. The
result of this attempt at earth cure
might have been happy, but for the
fact that in the. night coyotes came
along and a‘e off all the six heads.
