About 80,000 pounds of fungus or “ears” (from its resemblance to the hnman ear) gathered on trees in the southern part of the Society Islands and packed in hags woven from slips of éooroa hark, have becn discharged from the brig Timandra, for China, where the article commands a good price for soup. The price paid to the gatherers at Tahiti, and at tho Sandwich Islands, is 12% cents a pound. Ar the Summit Soda Springs, a few miles from the Pacific Railroad, a Jarge hotel is to he built in the spring, and the place is to be connected with Lake Taho by a good carriage road. The railroad company have already built a fine wagon road from the station down to the springs. Soda and iron are the ingredients of the waters, which are said to he craved hy herds of decr, and to be very salutary for diseased kidneys. Tue Australian Extract of Meat and Cattle Company, with a capital of 100,0002., in shares of 27. 10s. each, has heeu incorporated in London for tho purpose of carrying on iu Australia a husiness similar to that which has been so successfully and profitahly estahlished in South America under the auspices of Prof. Liébig. Upon the assumption that 15,000 head of cattle will he slanghtered annually, it is shown that whilst the outlay would not exceed 82,075/., the revenue obtained from tallow, hides, tongues, horns, hones, oil, and extract of meat (the latter taken at nearly 20 per cent. helow preseut prices, to allow for possiblo, though not prohahle, fall in price) would amount to 187,500/., leaving a nett profit of 105,425/., or sufficient to return from 100 to 150 per cent. per annum, Two estahlishments have already heen started—one in Queensland, and the other in New South Wales. That Northern Australia is at present unoccupied is attrihuted to the want of profitable means of disposing of stock. Fish anp Coan on THe ALASKAN SHORES, The scientific expedition sent out to Alaska hy the Government has made its reports on the fisheries, fur trade aud mineral wealth of the new Territory. Much inconvenience was entailed on American fishermen heretofore hy their necessary trips to San Jrancisco, not the smallest part of which was a heavy outlay of capital on ocean-goiug eraft. Now that the country is ours, they can fish in fifty-fathom water in ordinary open boats. Formerly the importation of codfish from New England ports to California was a heavy item, It has been stopped completely by the acquisition of Alaska, In 1867, twenty-seven American vessels were employed among the Shumagin Islands on the shores of Southern Alaska, ‘The average catch was nearly 100 tons, which was valued at 9% cents coin, per pound; the average cost of outfit aud lahor, $3,000 in gold. It is stated that the eastern portion of the Behring’s Sea is cxtremely rich in cod, and that the area within the limits of fifty fathoms depth is 18,000 miles in extent. The banks along the shores of Alaska, south of the Aleutian Islands, are ahout 4,500 miles. The whale fisheries, especially in Archipelago Alexander, aro well known. The Coast Survey has discovered indications of large heds of anthracite coal, The warm current from Japau exercises a beucficial influence on the climate of Alaska. —_ + PostwasTERs are requested to punetnally Inform usof the removal of subscribers of the Press from their locallty, or of neglectto take the paper out of the office from any eanse—when the subscriber omits that diy himself. 1tls not eur Inteution to send this journal to any party longer than itisdesired.
