Tue Qvieksi.ver Mrxix¢ Company.—We
have received a copy of the annual report
of this eompany. The pnmphlct contains
the President's report to tho stockholders,
af the annual mecting in Philadelphia, Febrnary 27th, and also that of tho snperintendent of the mine (New Almaden) to the
President. The condition of the company
is stated to be better than at any previons
period, notwithstanding tho low price of
quicksilver, due to increased production
without a corresponding increase in demand. The total world’s production for
1866, was, in round numbers, 85,000 flasks.
Of this, 35,000 was from this mine.
A Yourn’s History or Canrrornia.—A.
Roman & Co., the publishers of this work,
have sent nsacopy. It isa neat 12mo. of
187 pages. Heretofore, ‘‘ Notes” of sometimes questionable authority, and ‘‘Annals”
of formidable dimensions, havefurnished the
California school-boy with the only means
of an acquaintance with the history of his
own State. This little volume commends
itself as giving the salient points in such
history, in concise and attraetive form; and
its perusal would do no harm to many a
San Franciscan of larger growth.
An Intrrestina Map.—We have seen a
proof sheet of the map of: Sierra county,
now being prepared by Messrs. Crossman &
Cochrane. Besides everything else which
one wonld expect to find on such a map, it
delineates the eourse of the nncient rivor
ehnnnels, so far as they have been defined.
Crossing as they do, the present river channels, these beds of anriferons cement and
gravel are especially interesting to the miner
and the geologist.
Anrrricran Icr.—Mr. W. R. Frink has exhibited to usasample of ice made by him from
Spring Valley water. This ice was made bya
machine manufactured in, this city, under
his direction, and the first work of the kind
done on this coast. The machine weighs
only about eighty pounds, and is capable of
producing twelve pounds of ice at one heat—
heating is tho proper term to use, although
Freezing is the result. We shall give a more
extended notice of the process and machine
next week.
Unirep States Derury Surveyor ror
District, No. 9.—Rudolph D. Henreuse
has been appointed U. 8. Deputy Surveyor
for the countiesof Kern, Tulare, San Diego,
Los Angeles and San Bernardino—constituting mineral district No. 9.
Paumer’s Parent Artivicran Lec is said
to be the best in the world. Jarvis Jewett
is the agent, at 629 Washington street, San
Francisco. .
