The elaborate report of Sherman Day, the able engineer selected to locate a line for the proposed failway from Folsom to Auburn, occuptes over nine columns in &Tecent issue of the Placer Herald, and is a ¢ocument of great interest. preliminary surveys, made by Messrs. Judab, . Elliott and Stangroom, all of which combine . to establish one leading fact—that lines A. BADLAM is authorized to receive advertise . drawn from either Auburn, Grass Valley or mentsand subscriptions for this paper in Sucramento. rN RS eC TT SD ContempLatep Eyiarcement.—The proprieters of this paper have labored industriously for the past two years without any reward. They have endeavored .to give an equivalent fer the price of subscription. The town is growing rapidly aud needs a larger paper to ventilate its doings. Our subscription list is small—very small at home. We cannot afford to enlarge unless we have an additional list of at least one hundred yearly subscribers. If San Juaners will make this addition, we pledge ourselves to give thema paper the size of the Sacramento Union, and without any additional price. Let each person who feels friendly to the paper, exert himself a little and twice the number can be obtained in this place. thle ieee clini LEcTURE ON AGRICULTURE.—Mr. J. B. Morse delivered a lecture on the agricultural characteristics of our valleys and mountains, at the Sierra Nevada Hall last Monday and Tuesday evenings, to small audiences. The lecture as .iterary performance was Bot thoroughly elaborated and complete, but it conveyed a considerable amount of information gleaned from personal observation, and was remarkable for the favorable views ad vanced with regard to the healthy progress of our mountain settlements. In this respect it will prove very interesting to all who think the march of physical and moral improvement is not confined to the agricultural regions, and is calculated to exert a wholesome influence. Mr. Morse is delivering it at other towns in the county. oo Persons who have been traveling much in the wintry regions north of this place, have their sight affected and their faces swollen by the peculiar reflection of light from the snow. Mr. Hughes, the telegraph operator at Forest City, who was out repairing the line for several days, returned almost blind from this cause, we are told. How strange it seems, that while at this point the hills are green and lovely beneath the charming touch of Spring, trees are blooming and flowers are opening their gay petals to the sun, the country only ten, twelve or fifteen miles further up is clad in one universal robe of dazzling snow. Yet the atmosphere there is now as mild as it is here, and the snow will soon melt away. “a Sass Freeman's Crossinc.—Some time ago we gave a romantic account of the amorous adventures of Indian Tom, whose affair with a dusky damsel of the woods terminated in rags, sore eyes and Tom’s return to the haunts of civilization. Our young hero appears now in a new character, showing a great advance towards the habits of his white friends. In company with an American he found diggings in a bar below the crossing which yield $8 per day tothe hand. He pays a white man $4a day to work his share, while he drives a team for his board! Bat then there is a certain dignity about teaming which is its own reward. Seated on the driver’s box, Tom feels as though on a throne, kinging it over his horses as if he were a chieftain ruling a tribe of his own race. EST ats Arrer THE Storm.—With clear weather, last Sunday and Monday, came two severe frosts, fatally nipping early fruit blossoms, such as the nectarine and apricot, but not entirely killing the peach blooms. Such of the latter as hung with their petals down, or were not yet fully opened are believed to have escaped, in sufficient numbers to insure us a fair crop of their delicious fruit. The hint to plant more apple and other hardy fruit trees is, however, a very strong one, and will be heeded. Since the advent of bright, warm days, the various improvements that were going on in town before the storm have been resumed. Brick and frame buildings are going up, the roads are being repaired, gardens cultivated, and the air rings with the music of anvil, saw, hammer, trowel and spade. OS Cleveland & Sale intend to establish a line of daily stages from Grass Valley and Nevada to Washoe, as soon as the road from Eureka to the summit is built. Another line of stages will go through the Henness Pass from North San Juan and Forest City by the gpening of summer. The old emigrant road can be traveled by stages in dry weather without much improvement. The Truckee Turnpike Company will make that all right. —The Allison Ranch quartz lead yielded $27,000 from three days crushing with eight stamps, lately. What is Washoe to that? The Grass Valley National tells us beside this, that from a hole of two cubic feet in the new lead lately found on Clark’s ranch, $2,000 was taken. Nothing new. ofthe reported quicksilver discovery. Batt aT Empire Rancu.—Onur friends Moo-ney & Moody have sent us.an invitation to attend a May day party at their place on the Ist proximo. They are famous hands at such things, and it is worth a trip of eighteen miles just to see their beautiful place—the gem of the foothills; but duties that cannot be put off.will keep the Press gang all at home. . Nevada, at right angles, or nearly so, toa line along the base of the foothills, present too short a distance to overcome the eleva~ tion at a practicable grade, be obtained by along line of gradual ascent ataslight angle. It became apparent that the choice of routes was narrowed down to that along Antelope ravine, and the one fiually adopted, which crosses Miner’s ravine near the Franklin House and joins the Central railroad at the north end of the Folsom bridge. The main obstacle to be ovércome is in the approach to Auburn, which lies in a circular basin, surrornded, to the hight of 130 to 150 feet, by a flatsurfaced ridge broken by spurs, knobs and deep ravines. The total leagth ef the line adopted is a little more than nineteen miles ; the entire elevation to be overcome 1033 fect, and the maximum grade required to overcome it is eighty feet to the mile—about half the distance being of that grade, while the other grades vary from 21 to 46 feet per mile, about one-tenth of the distance being level. Nearly four-tenths of the whote length is a straight line, and there are few sharp curvatures. The expense of grading is estimated at $538,619. This includes 5,840 feet of trestle-work bridges. The material to be excavated is generally a granitic gravel, or if rock a decomposed granite or loose boulders and ledges with numerous seams, and estimated to cost for excavation from 30 cents to $2 per cubic yard. The aggregate cost of road, buildings and equipments, embracing every contingency likely to arise, is calculated at $929,297. Sanguine estimates of the business the road would command are based upon actual statistics, collected for the purpose in Placer and Nevada counties. From these it is made to appear that 150 passengers would travel over the road daily, at $1 50 each (75 cents each way) yielding $285; that there would be 115 tons of up freight daily, at $2,85, yielding $328; lumber, down, to the amount of 100,000 feet, at $3, making $300 more ; and 20 tons of firewood and granite at $30; making total daily receipts $943, and gross receipts per aunum $344,195. The total expenses per annum are given at $168,000; leaving a net income of $176,195—equal to 17.6 per cent. on $1,000,713, the highest estimated cost of the road, and 18 .9 per cent. on $929,297, the lowest estimate. In the estimate of receipts the rate of passage is fixed.at ten cents per mile, and of up freight at fifteen cents per ton per mile, which arethe legal limits. If the road was built these rates would save the people of Nevada and Placer counties, annually on freight and passage more than $700,000—these two items costing them now $876,000, while by {the railway they would not cost more than$173, 375. It is likely that the receipts of the road would be considerably larger than the above estimate, for that makes no allowance forthe increase of business and multiplication ofobjects for transportation which isalwayscaused by arailway. Theprofitsof the road would, of course, be greatly increased by its extension, as contemplated, to Grass Valley and Nevada. It would then, as the report correctly says, penetrate one of the most populous and prosperous mining regions in the State, and one of the finest bodies of timber land ; where the character of the mining is of a permanent kind, consisting mostly of hydraulic, tunnel and quartz claims; where the soil is capable of a high state of agricultural improvement or of affording fine grazing, and supporting a dense population, and where the climate is as well adapted to the peach and vine as that of northern Italy at the foot of the Alps. A preliminary survey fer the extension has been completed by Mr. Elliott, along a line passing through Grass Valley, thence over to a ridge near Greenhorn creek, thence crossing Bear river a few miles below Treble’s bridge, andalong the south-eastern side of the divide between the North Fork of the American river and Bear river, to the brow of the ridge north of Auburn, near whieh point the chief difficulties occur, as on the route to Folsom. A road by this line would be about 36 miles long—making the total length of the road from Folsom to Nevada about 55 miles ; and the additional elevation to be overcome is 1374 feet. The route is considered entirely practicable. —_—_—_—_——_—_—_—_-9. It is said by an eastern paper, that without intelligent, skillful management—a rare quality in modern agriculture—farming in Massachusetts will not pay for the labor and six per cent. per annum on the capital invested. The Yankees had better emigrate to the hills of California, where they will finda balmy climate and a soil that needs only to be “tickled with a hoe to laugh with a harvest.” A bill appropriating $30,000 for the erection of a State Reform School at Marysville, has passed both branches of the Legislature. So far, well. Another good deed was the passing. of the bill to prohibit the sale of adulterated liquors: Both ofthese laws, if they beceme such by gubernatorial approval, will prevent mach crime and save to society many a useful citizen. -_———————A supposed continuation of the New Almaden quicksilver mine has been discovered, and. caused some excitement in Santa Clara eouaty. A company is sinking a prospect shaft. Bro. Waite offers to sell his half interest in the Nevada Journal—probably the best paying paper in the county, and enjoying a first rate reputation under his able charge. It gives the resutt of several! ger this head our usual resumé. THE MINES. A week of delightfully clear and warm weather having sucteeded the heavy storm that was still raging at the date of our last issue, thining operations have been actively resumed and we are enabled to present unThe storm did a considerable amount of damage to flumes, ditches and reservoirs, catséd s¢v eral petty floods, and washed some claims and sluices full of sand; but we have heard no particulars in this connection worthy of special mention. SweerLaxp.—A correspondent at this which can only place favots us with some interesting items, for which he has our thanks and a cordial invitation to come often. He says: “The miners on thiggend of Manzanita Hill are doing a thriving business. The Kentucky Co. cleaned up $1,500 from its last run of tweive days—and top dirt at that. Next, Fowler & Co. realized $1,200 from a run of 10} days, and would have done much better had not the rain caused a cave upon their iron pipe and obliged them to stop washing for a part of two or three days. A one-third interest in these claims was sold lately by Mr. Van rankin fur $3,850. In the claims of Moore & Co. the rains have also done damage, caus ing heavy caves of earth, and filling up their shaft two or three times in one week. Some experienced miners ate at work getting things in order again. These claims are paying a handsome profit. Next comes the Wedge Co., which has made one clean-up and done very well, or at least well enough to encourage them to try again. The yield afforded over $200 above all expenses. Now comes the Buck & Breck Uo., who have not been washing since the thief was caught in their sluices. Next are the claims known by the name of the “Young Man's Opening,” tormerly known as Mobley, Pease & Co’s diggings, situated on old Shawmut ravine.— The company owning the ground began washing in the fall of 1855, and as they were the first to open claims at this part of the hill, they ran their tunnel too high, as many others have done since; so they were obliged to quit washing, particularly as water was then sold for forty cents aninch. But not the least daunted by this, they went to work again and started another tunnel. When it was in about 100 feet, the rock became very hard and the purse very low. They were obliged to cease operations until they could make a raise of the yellow boys. Some of the members who were tired of hard rock and beans, sold their interests for $600 and went to Frazer river to try their hand; but bad luck foilowed them. Those who staid at home are hard working boys, and after toiling at their tunnel since 1858—now two years and three months, they have it in 600 feet. It is considered the best job ever done on the ridge, and is as straight as an arrow. Their sluice also cannot be beaten. it is four feet wide and made in the best strle.— The company are now opening a shaft and . beginning to wash. When the shaft is completed, they will have a bank of 140 feet, and expect the large body of ground belonging to them will yield them a handsome return for their investment.” Frencw Corrat.—The miners at this locality attempted to make a strike for the reduction of water rates, last Sunday. Water is supplied them by Pollard & Co. at 20 cents an inch, but they demanded a reduction to 12 or 15 cents. Mr. Pollard, who has previously put water rates down voluntarily, and had promised still further abatement when his finances should become easier, thought he could not afford it at such a price, and to secure himself against the chances of a strike purchased some mining claims to work himself in case of such an event. This was a checkmate, and nearly all the miners concluded to resume work. We state the circumstances as we heard them, and are of course willing to correct any inaccuracies. San Juan Hitt.—There are but few companies engaged in profitable washing just now, for various reasons—such as interruption in the supplies of water, owing to breakages in ditehes and flumes, caving of banks upon apparatus, filling of shafts and cuts, &e., all chargeable to the storm. The supply of water will be greater and more regnlar in a short time, as the large pipe of the Eureka Lake Company, leading from their branvh ditch across the town into the diggings, and calculated to carry 1500 inches, is now completed, and will be delivering water as soon as intervening sections of the new ditch are cut through. Urisxo.—Tabor & Co. cleaned up from their upper boxes after five days ran $500. Several other companies will be washing through open cuts as soon as water is obtainable. The Dutch Co. has its tunnel in 600 feet, and intend to raise a shaft to the gravel. Horan & Co. have their tunnel in 300 feet, have raised shaft and made one washing of drift dirt that prospected from 30 cents to $7 to the pan. Amount procured not known. The domicil of a disreputable colored fem? inine at French Corral was torn down a few days ago by a number of persons who considered it a nuisanee requiring abatement. She had wagged her tongue to the detriment of reputations, it is said. The tenement was not of much value. Mrs. Mestayer advertises that she will furnish board for a few gentiemen at the pretty cottage formerly occupied by Dr. Randall— a cool quiet place. CoO + Oo Mart Taylor has been playing at Forest City and other towns in Sierra county, getting full houses everywhere. “Sanam Ann” Reproves Us.—Our spicy correspondent “Sarah Ann” mistook 4 mere reference for an'édious insinaation, and thus reproves us : “ ‘Boots and pltg tat.’ There it is Again! Mr. Editor, why is it that you insist on iftimating that Sarah Ann might be one of those awful creatures who wear boots and plug hats? I think you are as stubborn as a mule. Didn’t she tell you more thana year ago that she was no such a thing ?— And she has been silent so long (!) consoling herself that thus the slanderous Assertion might be effaced from the memory of the literary portion of community. Dear, dear! Men will be uppermost in this world, and there’s nothing smart said or done but ‘boots and plug hat, must bear the honor. Oh Mr. Editor! I fear you know not the error you are in danger of conimitting. But lend an ear; Iwill to youa tale unfold—a sad and mournful tale of woman’s wrongs. I knew a grand and noble woman, whose literary capacities were of no mean ¢ast; in fact, she really excelled sotme more conspicuous writers. Almost daily were her poems, prose and blank verse placed before the people and devoured as readily as a good dinner. All judged her to bea man, because of her boldness and eloquence. She proteste, and the editor persisted (just as you do). Sv sorely did it vex her, that ene day while sitting under her favorite tree, knitting and thinking as was her wont, her anger waxed hot at the slanderous assertion, and with a heart all rent with grief and humiliation she arose and hung herself with her yarn!” Saran ANN. We cry peccavi, and will sin no more; but such a “yarn’ as that, Sarah Ann, would kill almost anybody. a A Los Angeles correspondent of the Bulletin affords the following strange item : Not a little risk is encountered bere in taising American cattle, especially American cows, in the clover districts, on account of their disposition to overfeed, and bloat up and die. This danger only occurs in the.spring when the clover is greén. Various relgedies are employed here, and when ¢attle=are watched very few necessarily die. A very common as Well as safe cure, though apparently barbarous, is to stick the animal with a knife in the left side, about two inches forward of the hip bone. clover generated gases to escape, and affords instantaneous relief. It is not at all dangerous as the wound soon heals over. — Treckke Turnpike Co.—Stockholders should remember that another meeting of this company will be held to-day, at the} company’s oflice. : : nati Sas ess Major Collins, the originator of the grand s¢héme for the construction ofan electric telegraph from Moscow, Russia, atross Siberfa, Kamschatkaand Behring’s Straits to North America aiid so down to San Francisco, writes to his friend, the editor of the Sorora Democrat, in this State, that he has secured a promise of Russian aidin the enterprise.and received propositions from English capitalists to construct the whole . line when the necessary arrangements are compiected. . This grand work finished, the world will soon be gir. dled, and a thought can be flashed around it with the . speed of light. ae “Tue IRREPRESSIBLE CoNFLICT.’”—The natural antagonism between labor and capital was curiously illustrated in this place by a remark made by a poor, hard working Irishman, after the distribution of prizes at Gifford & Luther’s Gift Entertainment. “Ah!” said he, ‘we poor laborin’ min niver git annything. The . prizes is always drawn by hotel min, saloon kapers. . und the big bugs that niver do nothin’. we sabe the humbug!” Ah, be jasus, een OE Tne Butte Recorp.—The Marysville Appeal says that the citizens of Oroville, at the special election held there on Saturday, gave a majority of e ght handred in . favor of the subscription, by Butte county, for $250.060 of stock in the Northern Railroad enterprise.

The Hydraulic Press. B. P. AVERY, EDITOR. SATURDAY, ...... APRIL 14, 1860 L. P. FISHER, No 17114 Washington street San Francisco, is our only authorized Agent for that city. RANDAL & CO., 61 D street Marysville, are anthorized to recoive advertisements and subscriptions for the Press at that place. AUBURN AND NEVADA RAILWAY . The elaborate report of Sherman Day, the able engineer selected to locate a line for the proposed failway from Folsom to Auburn, occuptes over nine columns in &Tecent issue of the Placer Herald, and is a ¢ocument of great interest. preliminary surveys, made by Messrs. Judab, . Elliott and Stangroom, all of which combine . to establish one leading fact—that lines A. BADLAM is authorized to receive advertise . drawn from either Auburn, Grass Valley or mentsand subscriptions for this paper in Sucramento. rN RS eC TT SD ContempLatep Eyiarcement.—The proprieters of this paper have labored industriously for the past two years without any reward. They have endeavored .to give an equivalent fer the price of subscription. The town is growing rapidly aud needs a larger paper to ventilate its doings. Our subscription list is small—very small at home. We cannot afford to enlarge unless we have an additional list of at least one hundred yearly subscribers. If San Juaners will make this addition, we pledge ourselves to give thema paper the size of the Sacramento Union, and without any additional price. Let each person who feels friendly to the paper, exert himself a little and twice the number can be obtained in this place. thle ieee clini LEcTURE ON AGRICULTURE.—Mr. J. B. Morse delivered a lecture on the agricultural characteristics of our valleys and mountains, at the Sierra Nevada Hall last Monday and Tuesday evenings, to small audiences. The lecture as .iterary performance was Bot thoroughly elaborated and complete, but it conveyed a considerable amount of information gleaned from personal observation, and was remarkable for the favorable views ad vanced with regard to the healthy progress of our mountain settlements. In this respect it will prove very interesting to all who think the march of physical and moral improvement is not confined to the agricultural regions, and is calculated to exert a wholesome influence. Mr. Morse is delivering it at other towns in the county. oo Persons who have been traveling much in the wintry regions north of this place, have their sight affected and their faces swollen by the peculiar reflection of light from the snow. Mr. Hughes, the telegraph operator at Forest City, who was out repairing the line for several days, returned almost blind from this cause, we are told. How strange it seems, that while at this point the hills are green and lovely beneath the charming touch of Spring, trees are blooming and flowers are opening their gay petals to the sun, the country only ten, twelve or fifteen miles further up is clad in one universal robe of dazzling snow. Yet the atmosphere there is now as mild as it is here, and the snow will soon melt away. “a Sass Freeman's Crossinc.—Some time ago we gave a romantic account of the amorous adventures of Indian Tom, whose affair with a dusky damsel of the woods terminated in rags, sore eyes and Tom’s return to the haunts of civilization. Our young hero appears now in a new character, showing a great advance towards the habits of his white friends. In company with an American he found diggings in a bar below the crossing which yield $8 per day tothe hand. He pays a white man $4a day to work his share, while he drives a team for his board! Bat then there is a certain dignity about teaming which is its own reward. Seated on the driver’s box, Tom feels as though on a throne, kinging it over his horses as if he were a chieftain ruling a tribe of his own race. EST ats Arrer THE Storm.—With clear weather, last Sunday and Monday, came two severe frosts, fatally nipping early fruit blossoms, such as the nectarine and apricot, but not entirely killing the peach blooms. Such of the latter as hung with their petals down, or were not yet fully opened are believed to have escaped, in sufficient numbers to insure us a fair crop of their delicious fruit. The hint to plant more apple and other hardy fruit trees is, however, a very strong one, and will be heeded. Since the advent of bright, warm days, the various improvements that were going on in town before the storm have been resumed. Brick and frame buildings are going up, the roads are being repaired, gardens cultivated, and the air rings with the music of anvil, saw, hammer, trowel and spade. OS Cleveland & Sale intend to establish a line of daily stages from Grass Valley and Nevada to Washoe, as soon as the road from Eureka to the summit is built. Another line of stages will go through the Henness Pass from North San Juan and Forest City by the gpening of summer. The old emigrant road can be traveled by stages in dry weather without much improvement. The Truckee Turnpike Company will make that all right. —The Allison Ranch quartz lead yielded $27,000 from three days crushing with eight stamps, lately. What is Washoe to that? The Grass Valley National tells us beside this, that from a hole of two cubic feet in the new lead lately found on Clark’s ranch, $2,000 was taken. Nothing new. ofthe reported quicksilver discovery. Batt aT Empire Rancu.—Onur friends Moo-ney & Moody have sent us.an invitation to attend a May day party at their place on the Ist proximo. They are famous hands at such things, and it is worth a trip of eighteen miles just to see their beautiful place—the gem of the foothills; but duties that cannot be put off.will keep the Press gang all at home. . Nevada, at right angles, or nearly so, toa line along the base of the foothills, present too short a distance to overcome the eleva~ tion at a practicable grade, be obtained by along line of gradual ascent ataslight angle. It became apparent that the choice of routes was narrowed down to that along Antelope ravine, and the one fiually adopted, which crosses Miner’s ravine near the Franklin House and joins the Central railroad at the north end of the Folsom bridge. The main obstacle to be ovércome is in the approach to Auburn, which lies in a circular basin, surrornded, to the hight of 130 to 150 feet, by a flatsurfaced ridge broken by spurs, knobs and deep ravines. The total leagth ef the line adopted is a little more than nineteen miles ; the entire elevation to be overcome 1033 fect, and the maximum grade required to overcome it is eighty feet to the mile—about half the distance being of that grade, while the other grades vary from 21 to 46 feet per mile, about one-tenth of the distance being level. Nearly four-tenths of the whote length is a straight line, and there are few sharp curvatures. The expense of grading is estimated at $538,619. This includes 5,840 feet of trestle-work bridges. The material to be excavated is generally a granitic gravel, or if rock a decomposed granite or loose boulders and ledges with numerous seams, and estimated to cost for excavation from 30 cents to $2 per cubic yard. The aggregate cost of road, buildings and equipments, embracing every contingency likely to arise, is calculated at $929,297. Sanguine estimates of the business the road would command are based upon actual statistics, collected for the purpose in Placer and Nevada counties. From these it is made to appear that 150 passengers would travel over the road daily, at $1 50 each (75 cents each way) yielding $285; that there would be 115 tons of up freight daily, at $2,85, yielding $328; lumber, down, to the amount of 100,000 feet, at $3, making $300 more ; and 20 tons of firewood and granite at $30; making total daily receipts $943, and gross receipts per aunum $344,195. The total expenses per annum are given at $168,000; leaving a net income of $176,195—equal to 17.6 per cent. on $1,000,713, the highest estimated cost of the road, and 18 .9 per cent. on $929,297, the lowest estimate. In the estimate of receipts the rate of passage is fixed.at ten cents per mile, and of up freight at fifteen cents per ton per mile, which arethe legal limits. If the road was built these rates would save the people of Nevada and Placer counties, annually on freight and passage more than $700,000—these two items costing them now $876,000, while by {the railway they would not cost more than$173, 375. It is likely that the receipts of the road would be considerably larger than the above estimate, for that makes no allowance forthe increase of business and multiplication ofobjects for transportation which isalwayscaused by arailway. Theprofitsof the road would, of course, be greatly increased by its extension, as contemplated, to Grass Valley and Nevada. It would then, as the report correctly says, penetrate one of the most populous and prosperous mining regions in the State, and one of the finest bodies of timber land ; where the character of the mining is of a permanent kind, consisting mostly of hydraulic, tunnel and quartz claims; where the soil is capable of a high state of agricultural improvement or of affording fine grazing, and supporting a dense population, and where the climate is as well adapted to the peach and vine as that of northern Italy at the foot of the Alps. A preliminary survey fer the extension has been completed by Mr. Elliott, along a line passing through Grass Valley, thence over to a ridge near Greenhorn creek, thence crossing Bear river a few miles below Treble’s bridge, andalong the south-eastern side of the divide between the North Fork of the American river and Bear river, to the brow of the ridge north of Auburn, near whieh point the chief difficulties occur, as on the route to Folsom. A road by this line would be about 36 miles long—making the total length of the road from Folsom to Nevada about 55 miles ; and the additional elevation to be overcome is 1374 feet. The route is considered entirely practicable. —_—_—_—_——_—_—_—_-9. It is said by an eastern paper, that without intelligent, skillful management—a rare quality in modern agriculture—farming in Massachusetts will not pay for the labor and six per cent. per annum on the capital invested. The Yankees had better emigrate to the hills of California, where they will finda balmy climate and a soil that needs only to be “tickled with a hoe to laugh with a harvest.” A bill appropriating $30,000 for the erection of a State Reform School at Marysville, has passed both branches of the Legislature. So far, well. Another good deed was the passing. of the bill to prohibit the sale of adulterated liquors: Both ofthese laws, if they beceme such by gubernatorial approval, will prevent mach crime and save to society many a useful citizen. -_———————A supposed continuation of the New Almaden quicksilver mine has been discovered, and. caused some excitement in Santa Clara eouaty. A company is sinking a prospect shaft. Bro. Waite offers to sell his half interest in the Nevada Journal—probably the best paying paper in the county, and enjoying a first rate reputation under his able charge. It gives the resutt of several! ger this head our usual resumé. THE MINES. A week of delightfully clear and warm weather having sucteeded the heavy storm that was still raging at the date of our last issue, thining operations have been actively resumed and we are enabled to present unThe storm did a considerable amount of damage to flumes, ditches and reservoirs, catséd s¢v eral petty floods, and washed some claims and sluices full of sand; but we have heard no particulars in this connection worthy of special mention. SweerLaxp.—A correspondent at this which can only place favots us with some interesting items, for which he has our thanks and a cordial invitation to come often. He says: “The miners on thiggend of Manzanita Hill are doing a thriving business. The Kentucky Co. cleaned up $1,500 from its last run of tweive days—and top dirt at that. Next, Fowler & Co. realized $1,200 from a run of 10} days, and would have done much better had not the rain caused a cave upon their iron pipe and obliged them to stop washing for a part of two or three days. A one-third interest in these claims was sold lately by Mr. Van rankin fur $3,850. In the claims of Moore & Co. the rains have also done damage, caus ing heavy caves of earth, and filling up their shaft two or three times in one week. Some experienced miners ate at work getting things in order again. These claims are paying a handsome profit. Next comes the Wedge Co., which has made one clean-up and done very well, or at least well enough to encourage them to try again. The yield afforded over $200 above all expenses. Now comes the Buck & Breck Uo., who have not been washing since the thief was caught in their sluices. Next are the claims known by the name of the “Young Man's Opening,” tormerly known as Mobley, Pease & Co’s diggings, situated on old Shawmut ravine.— The company owning the ground began washing in the fall of 1855, and as they were the first to open claims at this part of the hill, they ran their tunnel too high, as many others have done since; so they were obliged to quit washing, particularly as water was then sold for forty cents aninch. But not the least daunted by this, they went to work again and started another tunnel. When it was in about 100 feet, the rock became very hard and the purse very low. They were obliged to cease operations until they could make a raise of the yellow boys. Some of the members who were tired of hard rock and beans, sold their interests for $600 and went to Frazer river to try their hand; but bad luck foilowed them. Those who staid at home are hard working boys, and after toiling at their tunnel since 1858—now two years and three months, they have it in 600 feet. It is considered the best job ever done on the ridge, and is as straight as an arrow. Their sluice also cannot be beaten. it is four feet wide and made in the best strle.— The company are now opening a shaft and . beginning to wash. When the shaft is completed, they will have a bank of 140 feet, and expect the large body of ground belonging to them will yield them a handsome return for their investment.” Frencw Corrat.—The miners at this locality attempted to make a strike for the reduction of water rates, last Sunday. Water is supplied them by Pollard & Co. at 20 cents an inch, but they demanded a reduction to 12 or 15 cents. Mr. Pollard, who has previously put water rates down voluntarily, and had promised still further abatement when his finances should become easier, thought he could not afford it at such a price, and to secure himself against the chances of a strike purchased some mining claims to work himself in case of such an event. This was a checkmate, and nearly all the miners concluded to resume work. We state the circumstances as we heard them, and are of course willing to correct any inaccuracies. San Juan Hitt.—There are but few companies engaged in profitable washing just now, for various reasons—such as interruption in the supplies of water, owing to breakages in ditehes and flumes, caving of banks upon apparatus, filling of shafts and cuts, &e., all chargeable to the storm. The supply of water will be greater and more regnlar in a short time, as the large pipe of the Eureka Lake Company, leading from their branvh ditch across the town into the diggings, and calculated to carry 1500 inches, is now completed, and will be delivering water as soon as intervening sections of the new ditch are cut through. Urisxo.—Tabor & Co. cleaned up from their upper boxes after five days ran $500. Several other companies will be washing through open cuts as soon as water is obtainable. The Dutch Co. has its tunnel in 600 feet, and intend to raise a shaft to the gravel. Horan & Co. have their tunnel in 300 feet, have raised shaft and made one washing of drift dirt that prospected from 30 cents to $7 to the pan. Amount procured not known. The domicil of a disreputable colored fem? inine at French Corral was torn down a few days ago by a number of persons who considered it a nuisanee requiring abatement. She had wagged her tongue to the detriment of reputations, it is said. The tenement was not of much value. Mrs. Mestayer advertises that she will furnish board for a few gentiemen at the pretty cottage formerly occupied by Dr. Randall— a cool quiet place. CoO + Oo Mart Taylor has been playing at Forest City and other towns in Sierra county, getting full houses everywhere. “Sanam Ann” Reproves Us.—Our spicy correspondent “Sarah Ann” mistook 4 mere reference for an'édious insinaation, and thus reproves us : “ ‘Boots and pltg tat.’ There it is Again! Mr. Editor, why is it that you insist on iftimating that Sarah Ann might be one of those awful creatures who wear boots and plug hats? I think you are as stubborn as a mule. Didn’t she tell you more thana year ago that she was no such a thing ?— And she has been silent so long (!) consoling herself that thus the slanderous Assertion might be effaced from the memory of the literary portion of community. Dear, dear! Men will be uppermost in this world, and there’s nothing smart said or done but ‘boots and plug hat, must bear the honor. Oh Mr. Editor! I fear you know not the error you are in danger of conimitting. But lend an ear; Iwill to youa tale unfold—a sad and mournful tale of woman’s wrongs. I knew a grand and noble woman, whose literary capacities were of no mean ¢ast; in fact, she really excelled sotme more conspicuous writers. Almost daily were her poems, prose and blank verse placed before the people and devoured as readily as a good dinner. All judged her to bea man, because of her boldness and eloquence. She proteste, and the editor persisted (just as you do). Sv sorely did it vex her, that ene day while sitting under her favorite tree, knitting and thinking as was her wont, her anger waxed hot at the slanderous assertion, and with a heart all rent with grief and humiliation she arose and hung herself with her yarn!” Saran ANN. We cry peccavi, and will sin no more; but such a “yarn’ as that, Sarah Ann, would kill almost anybody. a A Los Angeles correspondent of the Bulletin affords the following strange item : Not a little risk is encountered bere in taising American cattle, especially American cows, in the clover districts, on account of their disposition to overfeed, and bloat up and die. This danger only occurs in the.spring when the clover is greén. Various relgedies are employed here, and when ¢attle=are watched very few necessarily die. A very common as Well as safe cure, though apparently barbarous, is to stick the animal with a knife in the left side, about two inches forward of the hip bone. clover generated gases to escape, and affords instantaneous relief. It is not at all dangerous as the wound soon heals over. — Treckke Turnpike Co.—Stockholders should remember that another meeting of this company will be held to-day, at the} company’s oflice. : : nati Sas ess Major Collins, the originator of the grand s¢héme for the construction ofan electric telegraph from Moscow, Russia, atross Siberfa, Kamschatkaand Behring’s Straits to North America aiid so down to San Francisco, writes to his friend, the editor of the Sorora Democrat, in this State, that he has secured a promise of Russian aidin the enterprise.and received propositions from English capitalists to construct the whole . line when the necessary arrangements are compiected. . This grand work finished, the world will soon be gir. dled, and a thought can be flashed around it with the . speed of light. ae “Tue IRREPRESSIBLE CoNFLICT.’”—The natural antagonism between labor and capital was curiously illustrated in this place by a remark made by a poor, hard working Irishman, after the distribution of prizes at Gifford & Luther’s Gift Entertainment. “Ah!” said he, ‘we poor laborin’ min niver git annything. The . prizes is always drawn by hotel min, saloon kapers. .
