FLAGSTONE IS SHIPPED FROM CATHEY VALLEY, The first carload of béautifully eolored flagstone was shipped from the Le Grand depot last Tuesday, to San Mateo, where it is to be used in making a patio in a new home. The flagstone, which has the modero name “San Joaquin’’ is quarri_ ed from Table Mountain, on the Joe Machada ranch near Cathey’s Valley, ‘and trucked to Le Grand for shipment on the railroad. There aré now four men working at the quarry and dn average of one carload is being shipped each week. This is, no doubt, one of est deposits of flagstone in the val-! Jey and each day more and more “uses are being found for it. There are probably numerous other deposits of the same’ material which will be largely used in the near future, developing a new yaaa in the Cathay section.—Mariposa -zette.

JUDGES SIERRA COUNTY--CHINESE INSANE 0. Becadse there was no jddge available in Sierra County, and since Judge Ragland Tuttle ofNevada County is on vacation, Sheriff H. Johnson of Sierra County took an aged Chinese 80 miles to Auburn, so an insanity hearing could be held. . Following the hearing before {Judge J. B. Landis, at whirh Dr. G . H Fay and Dr R F Rooney held the j man_insane, he was taken to Stock_ ton by the Sierra officer Judge J. M. McMahon of Sierra County accompanied Sheriff Johnson ;to Auburn with the Chinese Tuesday PeBELA Oey . Pomc tntes Wealth Showered Upon Favorites of Fortune An American artist named Mott traveled to the Pribilof islands in a sealing vessel a year ago to paint some pictures of seals in their native ! home, und one day noticed a curious bank of sand lying close along the shore. He dug into it, and found beneath the» sand a mass of bones. They iwere seal bones—millions of them—which had been flung up by the sea in the course of centuries. Further search has shown that there are miles of these bone deposits along the shores of the islands. One pile is a mile long, half a mile wide, and six feet deep. Now, bones are one of the best of all fertilizers, and the value of the find is simply gigantie—far greater than that of any gold mine. This brings to mind the case of the . wandering prospector who, years ago, . while crossing a desert In Wyoming, . ' ! Ee came across the body of a_ horse which, thongh it must have died long ago, was still fresh and sweet. The l . ; body was covered with a layer of fine . dust, which the prospector recognized ; as borax, He saw the value of the , discovery and sold it to a large packing firm in Chicago, who kept the sei eret for a long time. Today the uses of borax are innumerable, andrange from the preservation of food down to dressings for tired feet and lotions for : Inflanied €yes, { j Colossal Frozen Fal!s Unequaled for Beauty i} . Four thousand, feet high and a mile wide—a solid mass of ice scintillating and gleaming with a myriad lights— the Hochstetter ice falls in the Tas man area of. the southern Alps are one of nature’s most marvelous sights. They fall from the Grand plateau and the Linda glacier and swell the volume of the mighty Tasman glacier three-quarters of a mile below. The eye of man has beheld no scene which is the peer of these colossal falls. Plunging precipitately down the rugged slopes of a mountain more than 12,000 feet in height, with a huge black rock in their midst as the only contrast to their dazzling purity, the falls are justly famed as nature's supreine gift to a beauty-loving world. One glimpse of such” transcendent loveliness provides the awed observer . with a lifetime of vivid recollections. . There is every truth in the assertion ' that neither pen nor camera cun convey an adequate appreciation of the glory of these falls, but in the minds . of many people now departed over . the seven seas they will ever remain an indelible and haunting memory.— Exchange. ene California Mining Journal, Nevada City, Calif.
