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 —

THE MARRIETTA MrNE. = Mar:

an incorporated company, and “Worked

‘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.
