The remainder will appear tomorrow: 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 of theses. The result of this~ sedimentary formation waa the secondary last sentences of that article, leavod metamorphic rock, In course of ing out the central’ and principal portion, and by this dishonorable inéans makes it appear that the ‘Transcarrt, and the miners apd hybat are encouraging the resorting to: such a hellish destruction of prep-. be. Shame upon such an unprofessional proceeding! If the Bee did the wrong unintentionally, let it repub. lish the WHoxs of our article, But we are satisfied it dare not thus acknowledge ita misrepresentation. 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 the world who set the dam on fire, hut whoever the guilty wretch is we eqvy him for his sense. If the ‘dam cannot us it should not harm us, The State prison yawns for those incendiariste aud their defenders, Their coures affords a striking eontrast to the manly and lawful one of the miners.

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 from bowlders and wel mjxed 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 into the stream, of which: we now fossil wood, moxtly in the upper strata of gravel from 50 feet to 100 feetin depth. This fossil wood affords positive proof that a fine country and Pavific slape ages ago. ’ We have alandant evidence all over the central part af California of ous and valuable, one of which qoorers, to a large extent, the gaan: find large quantities in the form of .

This theory applies eqaally well to other drainage basins which exist from. El Dorado county and south as far as “the “Opper San Joaquin, and others further north emptied inte tae Upper Sacramento. . 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 there has been more or less ill feeling cause He can’t be sent after anything without dallying along the wayside, and doing some kind of damage ¢ither to the articlehe went after or to something else he wasn’t sent after. boy is sent after a hatchet he always 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:! @ .anged his mine about knocking: @, vvy galley west, as he had firat imtended te do, He went up the gulch and a mine that he acid lateheaded and has freckles an his nose as big as & moss andhis eyelashes are whiteand his teeth are put in crooked, but he is the idol of
a happy home. When he puts a split stick on the tail of the” family dog, or fills the cream pitcher full of young frogs, or makes an aquarium of ihe soup tureen, the parents simply pase it by as an eccentricity of rexpiua and he does almost as he ikes. The ed toward him, and his life is oue broad avenue of golden sunlight, adown whose vistas he softly steals, and the bright ‘and beauteous universe holds not in all its mighty, grip a boy whose warty and freckle bespattered face is lighted with joy more peculiarly potent than his own, Local Telegraph.
