_the cannabaris obtained. Editorial Correspondence, San Jose, Aug. 6. 1559. The passage from San Frauciscoto this place is easy of accomplishment. You have only to pay $2, go on board the Sophie McLane, and you will soon be walking the waters ofthe bay to Alviso -ea distance of 45 miles. Here, if you are fortunate a seat may be procured on the coach—if unfortunate you may find a place to hang on, or go on foot to San Jose a distance of vine miles. ‘Two dollarsisthe fare by steamboat and the chances ofaride from Alvisoby stage are thrown in. ‘The road from Alviso is a pleasant one provided always you get aseat andare not compelled to work your passage. The road to Santa Clara is, however, a monotonous one. You roll alorg on a level plain, andsave and except the sight of mountains from ten to fifteen miles distant, there is nothing to break the sameness of flat acres de. voted to indifferent tillage or suffered to run to grass and weeds’ As you approach Santa Clara the country assumes a more cheerful aspect. and gardens begin to appear and fields of grain, if not larger, look more remunerative. Santa Clara isa little town spread, like her sicter San Jose, over alarge space. The houses scattered sparsely over the landscape, many of them surrounded with fruit trees, give anair of quiet and repose to the place. There is a Catholic College and other schools established here of which Ishall speak more hereafter. Theroad from Santa Clara to San Jose, a distance of near 4 miles, is shaded on both sides by rows of willow trees, with an occasional cottonwood and sycamore, planted by the old padres. The samenessof the ride is relieved by these trees, but more by occasional turns in the road which prevent the same visFine orchards ion from being constantly hefore you. San Jose presents more the appearance of an Eastern agricultural town than any place [ have yet seen in the State. It has many good buildings con structed of brick, and the many wooden dwellings scaitered over the plain far and near, painted some white and others brown, and surrounded by green trees giveit aninviting appearance, <A large town hall built of brick for a State Capital and the Catholic Female Seminary under the charge of the Sisters of Charity, are the principal buildings of the place. Quicksilver mines of Guadaloupe and Enriqucta-—T welve miles to the southwest of San Jose among the hills are the The approach to them ismade by crossing the quicksilver mines of Guadaloupe. valley and winding up the Guadaloupe ereek which discharges a small stream fiom the hills into the valley. As you near the hills the read passes through a dry appearing, gravelly country over} whichare scattered sycamores and liveAbout 3 miles after leaving the valley and entering oaks like orchard trees. thedefile through which the Guadaloupe is supposed to tlow in winter, vou come upon the works of the Santa Clara Mining Company. ‘The mine and works are owned by acompany of gentlemen living in Baltimore The Guadaloupe mine was first opened near the top of the ridge tothe left of the road, It not proving remunerative after much ex~ pense had been incurred upon it, counsel was taken about abandoning it, when ehance sctthe company to prospecting in another locality not far distant. A Mexican pulled up a soap root on the narrow strip of flat land next tothe creek and discovered cannabar attached to the small roots of it. Nearthe place the present shaft of the Santa Clara mining company was sunk, and from it comes the quicksilver of Guadaloupe. The shaft is an inclined one, like that of the Nebraska, and is 240 feet in depth running under the bed ofthe creek. By the politeness of Mr. Louis Wollweber Mining Director, we were allowed to visit the subterranean chambers where The descent is made by means ef steps by the side of the track. After reaching about 200 feet we came to lateral tunnels inthe rock which led to the workmen at work. The cinnabar is found in the hardest serpenfive in this mine and is obtained only by blasting. Asin the mines of New AlIgnaden, the cinnabar is foundin masses eonnected together by sheets of the mineral of a few thickness. Here is alarge chamber which was once filled by a solid mass of the metal; there ou descend by a ladder into ancther similar chamber excavated in the rock, or push on through narrow passesin a horizontal direction to another. The miners at work seemed to be intelligent and ready to impart the information they possessed. About seventy are constantly employed. The cinnabar of course, is mixed with more or less of the surrounding rock. A number of greasers are employed, like stone-breakersin a penitentiary.eracking the chunks and separating the mineral from the rogk. Ata distance of a hundred yards from the mine fyither on are the furnaces toextract tlhemetal] from the ore. Dr. Mayo, formerly of Eureka in our county, isthe superintendent. who politely and readily gave us aB insight into inches in the modes of extracting quicksilver .An account may be interesting to some of our readers. A pile of brick and mortar ten feet high, eight feet wide and some torty long, presents on its front side rows of ovens, one row over another. Under each oven is adeep arch for wood. These ovens are each cast in one piece andimbedded inthe brick and mortar, havea flat bottom about 20 inches in width by 6ieetin length and arched sides and roof. In the top of the back end a tube runs out and falls downward a distance of from two to six feet into a long tank of water. The cinnabar, broken into small piecesand dried in the sun to get rid of the water which would turn to steamin the ovens to the danger ofthe works, then mixed with one third lime, quantities of which are found in adjacent hills, is spread evenly over the floor of the oven tothe depth of an inch or two. The door of the oven is then prepared with fresh mortar, that no fumes may escape, and screwed tightly in its place, and the fire is applied uns derneath. A whole row of these ovens is put to roasting at the same time. Three hours is the time allowed to ex~ tract the metal. The mercurial vapor passes into the tube before described and is condensed by cold water dropping upon the tube, falling in tho form of globules of quicksilver into the tank of water into which the end ef the tube enters. From the tank the metal is drawn off into kettles and pat up in iron bottles for market. Whenthe metal is drawn off a quantity of dark residuum, called soot, is left in the tank which is taken out, put in atub, and lime added. After the mixture stands a few hours a large quantity of pure quicksilver is drawn off from the mass. In a house attached to the works are quicksilver bottles, brought from England,corded up for use, and a large number of cast iron half and quarter bottles of American manufacture. The Guadaloupe mine yields from § to 69 per cent of quicksilver from the rock, and we were told.;inakes handsome dividends to the stockholders. Eveiqueta Mine.—Two miles further up the creek we come to the newly discovered mine of Enriqueta, so named from the little daughter of Henry Laurencel, the principal proprietor. The mine isin a mountain standing in the forks of the creek, and is opened some three hundred feet above the level of The ascent to itismade by means ofa steep and the narrow valley below. crooked mule path down which the cinnabar is carried on the backs of animals. The entrance to the mineis through tunnels over the upper one of which is a fine, large picture of the little girl after whom the mineis named. We found no one about who spoke Engtish. Some forty or fifty Mexicans were at work or lounging about. To the best looking one of these I made known the object of my visit in unexceptionable Spanish,showed him a letter of introduction to Mr. Laurencel from his amigoand abogado, and we were soun supplied with candies and our good looking minero accompanied us through the caverns of the mine. As in the Guadaloupe mine we passed from chamber to chamber, down and up the most primitive sort of ladders made of saplings six or eight inches in diameter and notched for steps. We descended I know wet how deep, say 150 feet, being compelled every now and then to get out ofthe way to allow an hombre with a load of rock on his back to pass. The miueral is all transported to the mouth of the mine in raw-hide sacks on the backs of Mexicans and supported by a strap, or bail acressthe forehead. A cargo or load is from one to two hundred pounds, The cinnabar in this mine is found in a sort of serpentine, fractured and _broken insuch a manner as to be easily dug with a pick like decomposed quartz. The discovery of the mine was made by six Mexicans from Sinaloa, in the employ of Laurencel, onthe 11th of December last. the came cordon of hills as the New Al The Enriqueta mine is in maden on the other side of the same ridge and but two miles distant across. It promises well. the rock has been transported to the creek and furnaces are in process of A large amount of erection for roasting. ‘he cinnabar yields, said our guide, from twelve to fifty and sixty per cent of metal. It isa fact worthy of notice that the four mines of quicksilver now open in the State,—New Almaden, Euriqueta, Guadaloupe and New Idria—are all in nearly a direct line. Weare told ‘hat the fact induced Mr. Laurencel to commence the prospecting which led to the discovery of the Euriqueta mine. As the New Almaden mines are closed by an injunction I did not pay them an intended visit, but postponed it to a more opportune period, . San Jose, Aug, 7. J have taken a drive over this cham psign country, have visited some of its finest orchards ang gardens, its schools and other objects of interest, and now progeed to note down a brief account thergof, Lick’s mill twe miles below Santa Clara—the solid makogany mili—our readers have read of. ‘They have wondered at the foolishness of a man building a mill out of mahogany at an expense almost fabulous, They need wonder no longer. The mahogany mill I find looking on the outside like almost any other grist mill built of brick, only perhaps a trifle neater. It is a pretty fine water mill outside and in, considering that it stands upon a stream that is so near dry but little discount could be made on the water and leave any. The frames in which the machinery runs, and other appointments requiring small sticks of timber, are made of Honduras mahogany, polished and varnished in good style. Noother real mahogany could I see about the concern, though it is gottea upin good taste throughout. The mill has three or four run of stone, and when water runsin thecreek I doubt not does good execution. Mr. Lick, the owner, is erecting a circular storehouse some sixty feet in diameter with an asphaltum floor and conical roof, which is designed to be a fine thing ofits kind. Somehow I took a greater fancy to his orchard in front of the mill than to his expensive piles of brick and, show of mahogany. He has, I should say. forty acres in orchard, and finer apple treesI never saw. You may take a row of four year old trees and not one differs materiaily in size or shape from another. Itis astonishing how trees can be grown s0 nearly alike. Mr. Lick digs a large hole for each tree, laying aside the rich top soil and carting the poorer subsoil away, Thehole remains empty fora longtime to allow the elements to act upon the bottom and sidesThe trees are then set caretully in their proper places and rich dirt drawn from another point sufficient to replace the subsoil carted away. Mr. Lick adds yearly to his orchard alarge number of acres, and certainly is deserving of the credit of having one of the most thriving and handsome orchardsinthis or any other State. Farther on towards Santa Clara, as you ride along the road, you see at the distance of haifa mile on the left farm houses apparently embosomed among green foliage. ‘Two rows of locust trees runin astraight line actoss the plain from one of these to the road, and between is 4 carriage track thrown up and graveled. This leads to the fine grounds of Sheriff Thornburg formerly of Yuba County. TT’) the left of the gate as you enter the lane, a famous artesian well attracts attention, discharging 4 torrent of water over a pipe ten or t¥elve inches in diameter and three feet from the surface, which runs off to irrigate the grounds about the mansion in the distance. ‘Thornburg has vines, apple, peach, plum, apricot and other fruit trees in profusioa. Native hedges surround some parts of the grounds. A magnificent arbor made by vines running up a cireular wicker work to meet the ends of the brauches of a spreading oak and continuing over the entire tree, is a marked and charming featue of the grounds. Thealeove within is more than fifty feet in diameter shady,cool,and delightful. ‘The vines were loaded with young fruit. The garden of Mr. W. M. Lent to the west of Santa Clara consists of twenty acres in a high state of cultivation. The grounds are watered by three artesian wells which fail to discharge at the top but by the aidof wind mills, We passed through splendid arbors covered with many varieties of the choicest grapes in the selection and culture of which Mr Lent allows no one to excel him, admired the extent and variety of his orchard, saw some fine specimens of cows and blooded horses, than which there is none in California superior, visited the poultry yard and pig pen, and saw nothing but to please about the homeot Mr. Lent. He has made a little paradise about him, which we hope he will long live to enjoy as he deserves. The old mission pear orchard near Santa Clara, now called Redmond Park, produces an immense quantity of a rather inferior quality of pears. The pear crop of last year is said to have sold for $26,000 over and above expenses. Spiritualist Paper—We have re ceived the first number of the ‘Family Circle,” a paper devoted to spiritualism and progress, published at San Franciscoand edited by L. W, Ransom and W.H:Manning. The sheet is of large dimensions, and from the character of its articles we pronunce it worth five doliars a year those who spiritually inclined, at least. Z.P. Davis appears as agent for Nevada. Frank Stewart has quit the editoriai chair of the Placerville Observer and that paper comes down to the advocacy of Lecomptonism. — NEW GOODS JUST RECEIVED! LAMOTT & COLLINS, HATTER S.
