Che Mining and Scientific Press. 409 Frou Sax Bersarpixo Couxty.—We arc permitted to make the fullowing extract from a private Ictter, dated Saa Beraardiao, Juaa 19th, 1866: “There is not much valuablo Innd between here and Los Angeles, the valley or region of “El Monte” being the principal. ‘I'bis region lies quite low, but is sandy, and once cleared from the willows, with which it is inostly overfore produces finely—particulaily of corn. t would produce cotton, uo doubt. This side of I] Monte is tho lurge runch of Cocomungo, consisting of three lcugucs of land. ‘Ihere is on this ranch a largy vineyard aid orchard, both of which could be extended indefiaitely, if wanted, as the land is of a dry, gravelly aature, aud lays beautifatly for irrigation. Bat what is tho nso to rutse fruit or make wise when it costs all they ara worth to get them to market. Sume day. when railroads pass through this region, it will come out of the kinks aad take its place in tho frout, as a wine, olive aud orange producing country. ‘I'he valley of Saa Bernardino appears about as large rs Napa, from Sebustopul to Suscol, and preseats at this time ouc mass of green. It ia nearly every fuot of it susceptiblo of irrigation, and produces, of tiny in particular, immensely. A man told me he wus mowing tho third crop, and would surely cut the picce twica more this season. fis hay wus alfulfa—and yet witb all its grecn grass and shuity trevs, you are not satisfied with the appearanco of things—as io Nogarth’s pictures, tho animnl, the gross, seems to predomiuato ; tho country lucks character, soul!” A New Kixv or Fur.—The Clevelaad (Ohio) Herald asserts that some of tho lake steamhoats ure usiag fish for fuel! IJuge 60pound sturgeoas are thrown bead foremost iato the furnaces, with a little wood. The oil agsists the combustion of the wood ; aad tweuty stargeons are said to bo qnite equal to a cord of wood in the productioa of heat. PernoLecm does aot seent to work well ag a lubricator in a cotton mill. The Usion Mills of Fatt River have just had 6,000 cases of cottoa goods throwu back on their baads damaged by petroleum, used as a lubricator in their works. The most careful washing and bleachjag has hitherto failed to remove the “ spottiag” effect of the petroleum oa the colors.
