dred and two thousand cubic yards of ~valley. OUR MINING HISTORY, avada Coun'y and Her Wonderful Reeord of Gold Production, é a attor it was ‘ploked down: from the BY SAMUEL BUTLER. 4 [Contained from yesterday.) From this table we notice that the greater part of the gold product of the _ aurifeous gravels of this county is derived from the channel which skirts the San Juan Ridge and on which the most famous hydranlic mines in the world are situated. This channel extends for a distance of twenty-five miles and in width is from one to one anda half miles. In certain sections it is phenomenally rich and has been highly productive. From 1870 to 1874 the old. Malakoff Company washed about 3,000,000 cubic yards of surface gravel which yielded about 2 9-10 cents per cubic yard. The Bloomfield Com, pany from November, 1876, to October, 1877, washed one-million five hundred and ninety-one thousand cubic yards -of top gravel, which yielded 8 9-10 cents ‘per cubic yard. During the same peTiod that company washed seven hun< ‘bottom -gravel which yielded 82 9-10 cents per cubic yard. The bottom) #ravel extended from the bedrock to% height of 65 feet. At the Milton: hydraulic mine in French Corral 4,200,000 cubic yards of gravel were washed which yielded $1,745,500 or 41.5 cents per cubic yard, by far the richest gravel in such a large quantity on the ridge. The first. appearance of this channel is at Snow Tent, Eureka township, where it crosses the Middle Yuba from points in Sierra county. From here its course is, southwesterly through Moore’s Flat to North* Bloomfield, where it is supposed a tributary stream joins it from Relief Hill and, possibly, from’ points in Washington township. It then courses west to Columbia Hill, and just before reaching this point it receives another tributary from the direction of Grizzly Ridge. From GoJumbia Hill it contieues its westerly. course to Cherokee where it turns abruptly to the north until it strikes the Middle Yuba at Badger Hill. It then follows the same channel used by the rivéF to a “sill distance above North San Juan, when it turns to thesouthwest, passing through Sweetland and Birchville to French Corral. From. this place all trace of the channel is lost until Mooney Flat is reached, at -which point it reappears and may be -traced to Smartsville and Timbuctoo to be lost in, the receding hills of -the. At Blue Tent, just south of the South “Yuba river, may be found another valvuable channel which takes its course from this point south through Seott’s Fiat, Quaker Hill, Hunt’s Hill, You Bet -and Little York to Dutch Flat, from .which place it is sapposed to continue rsouth through Placer and Bl Dorado eeounties, The direction of the chaninel above this city, where the ancient gravel deposits were first discovered ‘and worixed on old Coyote Hill, is not ‘certain, according to authorities, but lis presumed to be a section of this @reat channel. A branch runs from -mear Quaker Hill iu a westerly course, south of and parallel to Deer creck, passing south of Nevada City and north of Grass Valley and Rough and Ready, at which point trace of it is lost. It is commonly accepted as a fact that it merges into the San Juan channel at Mooney Fiat. Still another channel .may be found lging between Bear river and Greenhora creek. Apparently it -had its genesis in Washington township. It «rosses Bear river at right angles near Liberty Hill, and also runs southwesterly norih of Bear river to Chalk Biuff, joining the great channel runming south. When we consider the fact that eminent authority aud past development place the value of these ‘In 1861-2, while groand into his diggings a hose 40 feet long t There was no nozzle attached to it, and théré is no evidence to show that it even occurred to Mr. Chabot that anything could ever be accomplished by directing the streams: against the bank. It remained for E. E. Matteson, who was developing a claim on American Hill, to invent the system of hydraulic mining by means ofanozzle. He attached’a nozzle io a ing the stream against a bank of gravel it would accomplish the work of many men. The superiority of this method over’all others became so obvious that it was universally adopted when the conditions were advantageous. Since 1858, great improvements have been made in the system of hydraulic mining. Iron pipes, some of them eighteen inches in diameter, bave been: substituted for the primitive hose. Attached to these pipes are nozzles ranging from 6to9 inches in diameter. The monitor is so constructed that it. is easily manipulated by one man when in full operation. It is adjusted so that the course of the stream against the bank may be changed at a moment’s notice. The force of astream from an orifice nine inches in diameter under a pressure of 400 feet may be more easily imagined than described. Since the prohibition of hydraulic mining elevators have been introduced into many mines. Through this method the detritus is impounded in the abandoned works of the mine and is not injurious to the rivers. They sometimes reach the height of 80 feet, and are generally constructed on an incline of from 60 to 80 degrees. Under-a heavy pressure rocks are forced up through these elevators ranging from 50to100 pounds as though they were mere blocks of wood. (To be concluded tomorrow). The Best Fuel. Although it has been but a sbort opened a coal supply depot here, many of our citizens have begun using it in their homes.and business places. They say they find it a cheaper and handier fuel than wood, and that the heat is much more regular. The Legg & Shaw Company are also supplying coal grates and stoves. S ‘There had been rather a bad rnnaway accident'in a mountain town. several persons had been injured, and the doctor Was miles away. Ent, as good luck would have it, aclever yocng medical stndent happened to be on the ground and did excellent service. —~ When the doctor came, there was uothing to do, but he listened with great intercst to his young colleagne’: exposition of thecases.

Finally be took up tke reins sadly and drove home to his wife. As sccn a: he entered the yard she threw her apron over her head and hurried forward tc meet him. ‘*Ephraim says come of the folks was burt,’’ she called. ‘‘How much was it: Did they break their legs or their arms —which?’’ The farmer drew in his now pacified steeds at. the post and let the reins slacken in his grasp. **Well,’’ he said reflectively, teaning forward, both elbows on his knees, ‘‘] thought oue on ’em broke his leg an another a collar bone, an sv on, but 1 guess I didn’t hit it right.
