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

your passage. The road to Santa Clara
is, however, a monotonous one. You

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Caution to the Purchasers of
EUREKA WHISKEY!
T HAS COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE
undersigned that various parties are putting up
inferior Whisky in imitation packages branding it
“EUREKA WHISKY,” and se'ling the same at much
less than the Agent’s price for the genuine article.
Wehave also ascertained that empty packages with
our names on them are frequently refilled with a common article, and sold for the genuine.
There are houses who sell
THE GENUINE EUREKA WHISKY
And whose representations can be relied on. Of such
itissafe to purchase. : ae E
‘The faet of so many parties trying to imitate this
article, is the surest guarantee that it isthe best Whisky offered for sale on the Pacific coast. i

onthe head:
‘Eureka Whisky, 1849.”
