Sela Sadentaneitid ieee > news of the outside counties ‘a pockety nature “tent, — _ The. most outstanding mining is found in the rich strike made ‘in the Spread Eagle mine in the Whitlock district in’ Mariposa county. Mariposa has been disposed to be of without continuously defined ore bodies for any distance but rich strikes have been made there from time to time and the Spread Eagle looks to be a _-real-one: The shoot was cut in the face of the 300 level tunnel. The high grade streak highly impregnat‘ed with the yellow metal is said to be about as ‘thick as a man’s arm and gives appearance of continuing both above and below the point of strike. : “The business men of Mariposa thought so much of the’ story as carried in the columns of the Mariposa Gazette that they purchased a thousand extra copies of the edition carrying the first-news of the strike to be mailed to widely scattered points. Those business men are awake to the possibilities of wha a little mining boom can do for < ‘community and their enterprise in helping tO spread-the news of the strike is most commendable. A shaft) has been sunk on the Who Knows property near Clearinghouse to a “depth-~-of-100-feet. by John C. McGarry. The property adjoins the original which paid many: thousands in dividends prior to its closing down. The main drift in the Quail mine in the Coulterville district is being reopened and retimbered. One of the old ore bodies has been picked up at a distance of 450 feet from the adit and shows good values. PLACER COUNTY The properties of the Baker Divide and Forest Hill Mining Corporation at Michigan Bluff are now being operated by the Volcanon Mining Company.

Child That “Stammers” Victim of Nervousness The most usual form of speech dis. order is “stammering,” or “stuttering.” ~~ From the stundpoint of development there are two distinct types, one which commences with the developMent of speech and the other that becins after the child has learned to speak normally. The first form Ig the more. difficult to correct. é The underlying cause of stammering is purely mental. It is essentially due to emotional disturbance, and tmPlies lessened ability to meet a difficult. situation. . It is most frequently observed in so-called Bervous, highly‘strung children. As these children ae stow older they subconsciously fear _ that their speech organs will refuse _ to work and have the horror of being the object of ridicule. A sense of inferiority develops, establishing a viMore imperfect their speech. , According to some observers, stam-mering is more or less common among left-handed children when they are ght to become right-handed writers. opinion ig largely responsible for of-San-Pedro™ days, Packing brought as much money as gold digging and was somewhat more certain. The stage ‘ine was extended from Sacramento to Shasta in 1850, bua packers were still needed to bring the freight into Shasta and the town Was a great packing center because supplies had to be carried by pack mules from, there over the moungon. A pioneer who came to the town in 1852 says that he could not then make his way~down the main street for the pack mules and teams. But by no means all who came to California to prospect became or remained miners or even packers. The mechants made as much money as either class. It is said that every man who came in with a good stock of provisions set up a small store until he had‘sold out all he had, so great. were the profits to be made from supplies. When the miners and the packers and the merchants left the merchants are said to have been the only ones.who were wealthy, but that may have been largely due . to their ability to keep their money. Talk to a pioneer about prices in those days and you will*‘say nothing: more about _ how things are at present. Pies were cheap at $1 each, and during the winter of 1852\and 1853, when the heavy rains cut’ off communications and prices in Sacramento were so high that merchants would not purchase if they could, flour sold at $2. and $2.50 per pound. R. J. Walsh, the only merchant who was’ shrewd enough to have a big stock on hand, frequently ‘sold 100 pounds sacks ot flour for $225 a sack in gold dust. An old man region since 1852 teils how he packed snow in from Mt. Baldy during the summer and sold it ti saloon keepers for 50 cents and 75 cents per pound. In one summer he made $3000 from the snow trade, which shows that mining was not +the—only lucrative occupation. Money came easily in those days and persons thought no more cf paying $1 a quart .for milk than we think of paying 10 cents four it. —Siskiyou News. .

Thé lake now discharges to the Atlantic through San Juan river, but its’ former outlet was the Pacific. The building up of the volcanic chain from Masaya to Orost has cut off. the original western outlet of Lake Nicaragua and: diverted its drainage eastward to the Caribbean sea, Cause for the uprise ofthe sea floor is the tilting of blocks of the earth’s crust, which is like a pavement built of stone sets. If a watermain bursts below a roadway the surface is upheaved and thé blocks are tilted at various angles. Similarly on the upheaval ofthe earth’s surface, the crustal blocks are tilted, and the edge of.one block may be raised while the other edge may sink. ‘ The subsidence of the floor of the Pacific may force some of the underlying material to flow toward Central America and cause an upbulging of the coastal belt. There is conclusive evidence of the direct uplift of this region. Lakes Nicaragua and Managua both occupy the site of an old Pacific bay. A relic of this condition is the oceupation of Lake Nicaragua by species. of shark and swordfish which are. identical with jthose of the adjacent parts of the Pacific and are absent from the Caribbean sea, The fish were. probably caught in the lake when the area was uplifted from sea-level to its present height of about 130 feet. Small Boy’s Knowledge of Aaron‘ Not Biblical “Home training is one of the most important factors in education,” declares. a_ retired superintendent of schools. “The school cannot do it all.
