At best we can only make an aproximation. The amount manifested in San Francisco, for the first sixteen years after the discovery, was $749, 000,090. But this could have been only a fraction of the amount dug out ofthe earth in those years, The cost of transportation of gold East in the early period of gold mining, wasin proportion to the prices paid for living on the coast, until they could gat enough to satisfy them, when they saved the expressage by taking it Ev.st The Builton Output of Hydraulic HOW BE DIDIT.Sheriff Lord Ris Grass Valley of the Opium Smoking Evil.

Lhe abundance created new uses, and millions of dollars in value went into watches and all sorts of jewelry. It was a common sight to see & man with enormous chains, seals, buckles and the like, all made of native gold. Taking all the facts, it has been estimated that one thousand million dollars would not be t20 high a figure for and including the year 1865. The lowest estimate we have seen for the year 1866 is $59, 000,000, and the average annual yield from 1865-down to the Fresent date is stuted at about :000,000. We are perhaps warranted in giving the entire gold product of California at $1,800,000,000. From 1848 to 1855 inclusive ‘the washings were mostly contined to river bars. At the latter date river washings had mostly ceased, and thereafter the deep ancient river beds, those remarkable deposits of gravel that eross at about right angles the present river chat.nels down the western slope of the Sierra, were the principal sources of the gold supply. Hydraulie mining had been introduced by Edward E Matteson in 1852, and quartz mining the year previous. Butthe results were not great in the aggregate until river mining, ceased, when both the new modes were adopted and relied on, and grand results realized. Quartz mining, however, never produced more than onefifth the gold product of the State for some years, «nd never more than oné-third until the stoppage of hydraulic mining, and the collapse of si.ver mining on the Comstock lode. drove theusands of miners into developi ng gold bearing quartz lodes in the aurife :0us belt of Califurnia. If we allow the whole gold product uf the State up to and including the year 1865. to have been $400,000,000, and credit the whole to river washing, although apart came from quartz and part from four years hydraulic mining, and $100,000,000 for the yield of California mines since hydraulic mining has been checked, we will have left $1,300,000,000, to be credited to hydraulic and quartz mining. It is, then, safe to sav that a thousand millions of dollars have been the result of hydraulic washings. Aguinst this great sum is set off the damage, according to the report of Wm. Ham Hall, of 43,546 acres of land, depreciated $2,597,000, on which was an annual loss of taxes of $7,143. To this,” however, should be added some damage to the river navigation, and to the town of Marysville and the wear and tear of nerves of some people living near the debouchement of the mining de!ritus. Surely, there ought to be enough in this bure statement of facts to snow that the benefits of hydraulic minin: arefar beyond the limits of damages. Death of a Valuable forse. W. G. Lord, the Grass Valley liveryman, took a four-horee load of Knights to North Bloomfield Friday. One of the animals in the team was the well-known trotting mare, Lizzie D. She ap-. peared to be feeling poorly on the Way up, and when the return trip was being made yesterJlay she laid down near the Dunn ranch on Selby Flat and died.

At best we can only make an aproximation. The amount manifested in San Francisco, for the first sixteen years after the discovery, was $749, 000,090. But this could have been only a fraction of the amount dug out ofthe earth in those years, The cost of transportation of gold East in the early period of gold mining, wasin proportion to the prices paid for living on the coast, until they could gat enough to satisfy them, when they saved the expressage by taking it Ev.st The Builton Output of Hydraulic HOW BE DIDIT.Sheriff Lord Ris Grass Valley of the Opium Smoking Evil.

Lhe abundance created new uses, and millions of dollars in value went into watches and all sorts of jewelry. It was a common sight to see & man with enormous chains, seals, buckles and the like, all made of native gold. Taking all the facts, it has been estimated that one thousand million dollars would not be t20 high a figure for and including the year 1865. The lowest estimate we have seen for the year 1866 is $59, 000,000, and the average annual yield from 1865-down to the Fresent date is stuted at about :000,000. We are perhaps warranted in giving the entire gold product of California at $1,800,000,000. From 1848 to 1855 inclusive ‘the washings were mostly contined to river bars. At the latter date river washings had mostly ceased, and thereafter the deep ancient river beds, those remarkable deposits of gravel that eross at about right angles the present river chat.nels down the western slope of the Sierra, were the principal sources of the gold supply. Hydraulie mining had been introduced by Edward E Matteson in 1852, and quartz mining the year previous. Butthe results were not great in the aggregate until river mining, ceased, when both the new modes were adopted and relied on, and grand results realized. Quartz mining, however, never produced more than onefifth the gold product of the State for some years, «nd never more than oné-third until the stoppage of hydraulic mining, and the collapse of si.ver mining on the Comstock lode. drove theusands of miners into developi ng gold bearing quartz lodes in the aurife :0us belt of Califurnia. If we allow the whole gold product uf the State up to and including the year 1865. to have been $400,000,000, and credit the whole to river washing, although apart came from quartz and part from four years hydraulic mining, and $100,000,000 for the yield of California mines since hydraulic mining has been checked, we will have left $1,300,000,000, to be credited to hydraulic and quartz mining. It is, then, safe to sav that a thousand millions of dollars have been the result of hydraulic washings. Aguinst this great sum is set off the damage, according to the report of Wm. Ham Hall, of 43,546 acres of land, depreciated $2,597,000, on which was an annual loss of taxes of $7,143. To this,” however, should be added some damage to the river navigation, and to the town of Marysville and the wear and tear of nerves of some people living near the debouchement of the mining de!ritus. Surely, there ought to be enough in this bure statement of facts to snow that the benefits of hydraulic minin: arefar beyond the limits of damages. Death of a Valuable forse. W. G.
