Manyerrors and false ideas have
beeu presented to the public, and
particularly to the miners, about the
ous gravel deposits of California.
These have often led the miner, and
more partioularty the prospector, asmot received that guidance and assistance the State should have rendered him years ago.
There was a time when the Sierra
Nevada was but a low mountain
range, and the waves of the Pacific
beat against its foothills, which
probably were not extending southwest and northeast as now, but rather north-northwest and south-southeast, parallel with the main mounthe land carried .with it .a large
amount of sediment jnto the valleys

Co-operative Mining. —
The Alts would not be surprised to
see co-operative mining yet tried in
every part of California, That paper says: ‘Mines ean be more economically worked in thie manner.
Where every man empluyed in the
mine is interested, whether by musele or money furnished, you can look
there for the and cheapest work.
A good mine is a benefit to every—.
body in a community ; therefore it
is to everybody's interest to assist in
deve'oping such, Many a good mine
is idle to-day, apd many a community dull in business, simply because
there is an absence of interest by the
store~keeper and idle laborer. Let
each supply what lies in his power
all throngh the mining districts of
this Coast and the effects will soon
be seen by the increased good mines,
as well ad the prosperity which will
follow the different camps.” Trib-.
ufe mining has been found a very
satisfactory method in this. part of
the State, and especially in Grass
Valley township, .The working miners retain a certain proprortion of
the yield as their wages, the remaining fraction going to the owners of
tho property for rental,
ihe Dam Burners Eudorsed.
It is not enough that some of the
rascally farmers in the valleys should
* apply the torch to the Yuba river
and Bear river dams, but, one of
their newspaper organa has the
audacity to come out with a flatfooted endorsement of the highhanded proceeding. Speaking of
the structure in Bear river, of which
nearly 200 feet was recently destroy-ed by fire, the News, published ét
Wheat'and, days:
We have not the slightest ites. in

time the molding, modeling, and remodeling of the face of this secondary formation became land. interspersed with large dikes of trap,
which was born in the séa, on lines
parallel to the main mountain range.
During those changes the face of the
great convulsions; many fissures
were formed in its crust, some small,
and some of great magnitnde, extending through the secondary and
down into the primitive rocks, Minerals in solution, with silex predominating, formed and crystallized in
those fissures till they were full.
These are now known as quartz veins
or lodes. :
As land in places acquired an altitude above the sea-level, rivers took
their inception from the rains that
fell upon the land, and became extensive according to the dimensions’
of the land, and ran in various chaatele from the summit of the Sierra
to the deep Sacramento and San
Joaquin depressions, which were
then covered by the sea. These
rivers were deepened and enlarged
by time, according to the elevation
of the country. In the early period
the land attained but a moderate
altitude, which in all_cases governs
the depth of the river chanaels, so
that the river beds of the ancient
channels were only about from 400
800 feet lower thay the surrounding
country. By degrees, and in. time,
as all the different streams, with
their tributaries, had formed their
channels, the coast range, with all
the land ajacent théteto on the east,
made its a above the se,
and the waters receded, By the
slow and gradué) upheaval all the
mountain streams fram the Sierra
Nevada and westward began to lose
grade, and a diluvial geposit, for

with more or less gol the
breaking down of quartz veins, begon to gather along the bottom of
the channels, as the stream was no
longer rapid enough to carry it away,
particularly so on the soft, slaty bedrock of the auriferous belts, Much
of this. material was the result of
erosions by tributary streams, of
whatever size, yet they. contributed
by crossing and wearing ‘down by
slow degrees the various auriferous
belts, which are three in number in
the central part of the State. Time
and ages were passing on gradually
as the coast was rising, so the inland rivers kept #'ling until the
gravel deposit attained a depth of
from 200 to 500 feet. The streams
were then flat and wide, and meandering from side to sidv, by times,
Jundermining the low river banks,
and dropping the then growing trees

SPECIMENS VS. SPANMING,
How Tardiness is Ever Rewarded.
A good story, and applicable to ail
localities where mining is the chief
industry, is that toldfby the irrepressible Bill Nye. William thinks

uses italong the road to pxel shade
trees or chop down picket fences, If}
you sead him for a hammer, he generally batters up something with it,
so that when the balance bas been
struck you find that it would have
been cheaper to’ buy several sew
place. Last winter, however, there
was an incident occurred in Colorado which changed the opinion of
several people relative to the average juvenile with one suspender and
a tin box of caterpillars in his pocket, Anoid miner asked his little
worthless son to go up the gulch and
get a pick that Le had left near
the trail amd bring it down to
where the eld man was working in a
prospect hole. The old man was a
little agitated over the fact that he
couldu’t find the lead, and swore at
the boy in an impulsive kind of way
that was calculated to make the
youth fly sround-and get back during the summer. But he was one of
those pervefee kids who are not appalled much by profanity, and when
he got the pick he began. to whack
into the ground and tear up the virgin soil with alacrity, y for fun
and partly to kil time. By and by
he dug outa chunk of rock thas
aroused hia curiosity, and after spitting on it and wiping i€ on his pants,
he looked at it with oue eye closed,
like an expert who 1s paid $5,090 to
atthe value ofamine. Then
e took the rock back to the old
man; and when the cruel parent was
about to attack him with an iron
dri.l the boy showed him the specimen, The old man looked at it an:!

a happy home. When he puts a

young frogs, or makes an aquarium
