RARE CYPRESS IS FOUND ON TAHOE UKIAH HIGHWAY By GLEN WRIGHT the Macnab Cypress extremely rare and little the specie Cupressus, mythological guardians of the graves of those who have been greatly beloved in life, have been discovered locally. : The trees were found recently by Leon G.

Low, open crowned, and bushy, this tree is usually twenty feet high, and the largest have only:a few feet of clear trunk, ranging from six to twelve inches in diameter. The bark is a deep chocolate brown, tinged with red. The cones are globular in shape, and when mature are about one inch in diameter. The branches ‘subdivide to form flat sprays which are closely covered with small overlapping leaves in four rows. The wood is of no commercial use, but their ability to thrive on dry thinly covered slopes has made them worthy of consideration by. the Forest Service for planting in barren areas.

STEAM SHOVELS WORK IN CARSON HILL ORE BODY MELONES, Feb. 15—Sincé the Carson Hill Mine was reopened last September, production has been on the increase and costs reduced to a new low for California mining. mine, considered by old-timers as being through as a producer, the then high costs of mining and milling, and the low percentage of pona fide gold properties for the demetal reeovery, is an outstanding example of the cause of the modern gold rush. : The mill is now, handling a daily tonnage of 809 tons, an increase over the 600 tons per day maintained until’ recently. By next month an average monthly tonnage of 20,000 tons is expected, according to company officials. Charles’ H. Segerstrom, president , of the Carson. Hill Gold Mining Co. recently wrote; ‘‘The first month of milling, in October, we mined and milled 10,000 tons,, in November 12,000 tons and in December 14,000 tons, and we estimate that during TAX EXEMPTION IS ADVOCATED SACRAMENTO, TO, Feb. 15—A TeSO. FOR GOLD MINES . now levied on gold mining was preat Wilson’s Restaurant by the Sacra. ciation of California. This -action is in line with a suggestion made at the January meeting by Alden Anderson, president of the Capital . Bank. Anderson asserted that the continued production of gold is vital to the prosperity of the nation, yet capitalists were deterred from investing in gold mines because of the ruinous taxation imposed on the industry by federal, state, and county authorities. He said the public must be educated on the importance of gold mining and the production of gold must be stimulated, if the value of the new dollar was to be maintained. Charles L. Gilmore, vice president of the chapter, reported on the congressional progress of the resolution, This . fathered by the state mining organization, which seeks a NRA appropriation of $100,000,000 for the seconddue to! equipment for { the month of January we will mine . and mill 16,000 tons. each month we are increasing the amount. of ore mined and milled, and as stated before, we expect in he next few months to mine and mill at least 20,000 tons unless we are impeded by heavy rains. Operating costs are probably the lowest operating costs in the’ state of California, and proves that the predictions made have .been carried out, and Iam quite certain these costs willbe still further reduced as the tonnage is increased, as our overhead and other fixed charges remain constant. We expect to have our operating costs well below $1.50 per ton on full operation.” It ‘is also reported that work on theopen cut is being pushed. This work is being carried on:much in the same fashion as ni the Yellow Aster minenear Randsburg, where steam shovels are employed in the open works there.
