Tae. Sux. Cuurure.—Mesers, Teoard and Muller, of this city, who have been _ experimenting in the culture of silk, have a letter from L. Prevost, of San Jose, from which-we-are permitted to extract such matter as is.of interest upon the subject. Prevost has given great. attention to thé subject, and has a fine /ténch of one hundred fcres in the Sah Jose Valley planted in: mulberrys. He & the pioneer of the business in this State, and has proved California superior to.allother countries for the. production of silk. Last year he sent over $1,500 worth of eggs to France. In at Stato and County. Fairs, Prevost, in his letter says: “Now the Fairs are over, You haveseen through the press the complete exhibition-I made of every item of the’silk business, from’ the mul-e berry tree-up:to the manufactured silk. I had then a large collection-of samples. of cocoons raised by different persons in different, parts of the State..The fact of having all these samples .together afforded me opportunity to study them closely: By. comparing we can judge of the difference in the silk of the differ. ent localities. As in the culture of the grape, the soil and locality make the difference in wine, so in the culture of sill: these agents:change its. character. Let me give you the result of the examination of all tliese different cocoons,’ coming from the same eggs, (for I have furnished all) and they are consequently ‘from the same Variety of eggs. You have cause to be proud, as yours ~are No, 1 in beauty, quality and lustre of the silk. Without having tried it I can see very well that your cocoons Will also’ be the easiest to reel off. The conclusion of this observation -is thut’ the silk which will. be raised in future in your Sierra. Nevadas, will bring the highest price in the California market, which is bound to be ahead of other silk Countries. Now friends, do you re-gret “having* confidence’ in my “Silk Manual?” Yowhave'the lionor of being first. to prove thatyour coviity, which is conceded the best mining district,has: more ~% above the surface than un-. der it. The seneenencevtnnltt the San Jose Valley, Mr. Prevost says, come very near those raised in Nevada. for size, rand lustre. There is.very little ‘difference, but there is some. Those of Santa’ Barbara. are in ‘the same class . exactly as: those. of San Jose. These cocoons seem to be the largest of all generally, but a number are not of a good shape for reeling, though they fully compensate for the larger quantity of silk. ‘Those of Sacramento come ‘next. They are very fine and fitm,and ‘are only defective in shape. I have no. doubt, with proper management, they will improve and that,the fault will be remo <} hy © would take too long for me to enumerate.other varieties of cocoons raised ‘in this Staté;which are very good, but do not ‘come:up to those above mentioned.” “Prevost states that he ) proposes to arrange'the varieties of different localities for exhibition at his place,and Messen: whtWeahingien and to'France. . He. states that he expects to receive different varieties of silkworms this season, and he proposes to send some to be tried in this locality. ~ Prevost expresses himself as fully satisfied with the results of experiments in'silk culture, “He says on this point: “Por many years I haye been telling our people that we had the best climate. _ I now feel. very happy and proud to see my humble efforts appreciated; and to see that what I have said is not only true but far surpassed by the results — hice 5 yp T haveysent eggs ve succeeded andthe worms have . dollars per, ton. speaking of the recent display of silk . nt of ¢ pital can Dene own : dutfear of the competition of machi. Mery o by combined capital. “ Consequently Bilk growing and’ [manufacturing is in reality free labor for Sree men, giving healthful oecupation, social comfort, refinement and per: sonal independence.” one é THE MARRIETTA MrNE. = Mar: rietta mine is located at Devil’s Knob, néarly on the top of the mountain above the Tecumseh. It is owned by an incorporated company, and “Worked under the supervision of Marvin and ath de Aad “hurdy gurdy” wheel, has been erected, and is kept constantly at work. upon tock which pays from fifteen to twenty ‘They are now taking: out rock from a@ five and a half foot schute which yields $20 per ton,without working the sulphurets, One man taking out rock keeps the mill running day and night. The total cost. of mining and milling the rock is‘only three dollars per ton. The Marrietta has been . opened by two tunnels on the ledge. The upper-one is in 60 feet and the lower 120. .'These tunnels are ran di. rectly upom the ledge, and the lower one now has one hundred feet’ backs, which increase as itis driven in. The Marrietta Co. have another ledge from eight to twelve feet thick; whieh Ssrich in fine gold and sulphurets; © ‘The ledges of this lecality offer great inducements to.capitalists. They areall large and. can be worked to a great depth without. the aid of hoisting works, and. besides, there is seldom a question of the title. THe Frrmen’s Trrau.—The Fire Department was out yesterday afterEngine Co, turned out with their carriage, manned by twenty-two men, in-. cluding officers, and the Nevada with six men, their jumper being pulled by a horse. The Nevada attached toa plug on “Piety Hill, and through 700 feet of canvas hose, got pressure’ enough to throw a stream about sik inch main, and therefore a good stream could not be expected. Through fifty: feet of hose and an inch nozzle a stream of twenty feet was obtained. The plug on Piety Hill is about as high as any in’ the city, and the works in that locality . . ® would do little good nnless a much largersupply pipe was laid. The Pennsylvania engaged*in ‘practice in: town, and found a good pressure and the plugs in good condition. THe NatuRaL WEALTH or CALI FORNIA.— We have @ prospectus of this work by H. C.
