Frea Distribution of Cuttings and Scions
Among the People of the. State.
Prof. E. W, Hilgard of the agricultural department of the State University has issued a circular in which he
says: .
“The Standard orchard-of the -University contains upward of 500 named
varieties of fruit. The soil-is not well
adapted to the growth. of fruit trees,
nor is the bay climate at Berkeley calculated to foster the “production of
handsome, high-colored fruit specimens, except apricots, which color better here than in the interior. The orchard is maintained not as a commercial enterprise, but to serve several
purposes, First, that of illustrating
the instruction which is. given in -horticulture; second to serye as ‘a means
of identifying fruit-specimens which
are sent to us from all parts of the
State for that purpose} third, .as a
source from which any citizen of the
State can obtain scions or bud-sticks
either for the purpose of testing varieties under the conditions prevailing in
his locality or t& insert in bearing
trees to establish the identity of unnamed varieties which he may have.
There is such variation in the. characteristics of varieties grown under different conditions in Calffornia that. dften we can but approximately identify
a variety and send scions of that variety
true to name,for the grower-to fruit for
himself and?thus compare thetwo
when grown under the same conditions. In all these. directions the
Standard orchard at Berkeley is proving of value to the fruit interets of the
State. .
“The accurate records which have
been kept of the tree growth and
fruitage of the different varieties serve
asa trustworthy guide for planting in
regions adjacent to the bay and éoast,
where thé climate in its main features
most resembles that of Berkeley. The
forthcoming report of the College of
Agriculture for 1886 will contain tabulated results of seyeral years’ observations by G. W. Klee, from’ which
the reader may learn’ what varieties
promise well and those which’are like‘ly to be worthless in the section of the
coast regfon to whieh allusion has
been made.
“Terms—Orders may be sent’ for
few or many varieties, as may he desired. We cannot furnish large quantities of a single variety, because the
object is to test varieties and not to
furnish material for commercial propagation. Packages of scions are forwarded by’ mail, and ‘ajplicants are
required to send’10 cents for each
dozen ordered, to defray expenses of
packing and postage. Postal notes,
payable at the Berkeley postoffice are
requested t8"be sent in lieu_ of stamps
whenever practicable. Any surplus
left after filling orders as far as possible-will be returned to the senders, deducting letter postage.”’
Numerous varieties-of apricots, apples, pears, plums, mulberries and
grape-vines can be obtaitied by addressing Prof. Hilgard, who will also
upon application send ¢ catalogue of
the kinds that.can be supplied.

Rich Quartz Boulder.
’
It has always been the. opinion of
well-informed miners that there ‘are
many valuable quartz ledges in and
around North Bloomfield. While’ but
little prospécting has been done for
quartz, yet a number of ledges have
been seen in the gravel mines of that
section, and in fact no notice has been
taken.of them, it being considered that
the gravel would pay better than the
quartz.-Every once in a while a valuable piece of quartz rock has been
found in the gravel claims, all going
to show that there must’be rich ledges
there. Only afew days ago a beautiful quar(z specimen was found in the
Derbec drift gravel mine. “It was ‘almost round, measured about four inches in diameter, and was literally coyered with gold. The weight of it was
six pounds dnd one ounce, and according to the assayer’s returns it
contains 38.03 ounces of gold, 900 fine,
making it worth in twenty dollar pieces, $707,532 was sent below, and is
now on exhibition—at the bankinghouse of Belloc & Co., 520 Montgomery street, San Francisco. The newspapier reporters of the anetropolitan
press would do well to visit the bank
and see a beautiful specimen of quartz
and gold from the celebrated Derbee
gravel mine. A great many smaller
specimens have been found there, but
this is the largest.one. The mine generally is looking splendid and. bids
fair tocontinue paying dividends for
years to come. It would not be; surprising to hear at any time of an ini=
mense strike of richer gravel than any
yet.encountered, as they are now
working in a place where rich deposits
are usually found.

he claims to have friends who will

he is soliciting to obtain enough

It appears to be a worthy case

similar plea for charity visited this
city -several months ago. —He proved

Accident to.an Ice Cutter.
A dispatch from the town of Boca,
which isin the extreme eastern part,
of this county and is famous for the
good quality of the beér_made there,
as well as for the purity, abundance
and regularity of its ice crops, says:
William Matthews fell off the iceflume at Prosser Creek Monday. He
was pushing ice with his ice-hook,
when he slipped his hold and was precipitated over the railing, striking
first on the roéf of the i@*house and
then rebounding into the river. Two
ribs were broken, and he_ received
some other cuts and. bruises which
may prove fatal. He is about 28 years
of age, and an American.’
A Genial Restorative.
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters are
emphatically a genial restorative. The
changes which this great botanic remedy produces in the disordered organzation are always sareeehly though
urely progressive, never abrupt. and
violent. On this account itis. admirably .adapted to persons of delicate
constitution and weak nerves, to whom
the powerful mineral drugs are positively injurious. That it initiates those
rocesses which result, in the re-estabTishahent of healthful vigor is conspicuously shown in cases where it is taken to overcome that fruitful cause of
debility, apa. agli coupled ag it
usually is, with biliousness and. con. stipation. ‘Thorough di
lar evacuation and abtindant secretion,
are results which promptly and invariably attend its systematic use. It
is, besides, the best protective against
malaria, and a first rate diuretic.

Average Yield of Quartz.”
Mining and Svientific Press: A few
months since we gave an article which
showed the cost of milling gold quartz
and the average yield in different parts
of the world, and cited several ex:
amples of gold milling in California.
We are enabled to crush and work.
gold ore here now ata reduced expense
from what was formerly the case. In
looking over some old files recently,
we saw, however, that quartz was
milled for $4 per ton at Grass Valley,
in 1855 and 1856, at company’s own
mills, though they charged $6-per_ ton
for custom work. At the mines there,
at that time, drifters got $3.50 per day,
foremen $4, windlassmen $3) and carmeh $3. Much of the quartz yielded
at the mills in those years pretty good
figures. Lots from the Missouri Hill
yielded as follows: 72 tons, $40 per
ton; 110 tons, $26 per ton. Sebastopol mine, 27 tons, $111; 29 tons, $80;
33 tons, $60; Allison:ranch mine, 21
tons, $870 per ton; Houston Hill, 22
tons, $60 per-ton; Gold Hill claim, 226
tons, $23 per ton; 12 tons, $117 per
ton; 61 tons, $40.30 per ton; 157 tons,
$50 per ton; Osborne Hill claim, ~5
.tons, $60.40; Ophir Hill claim, 57 tons,
$180; Massachusetts Hill, 40tons, $28;
Rose Hill, 120 tons, $23; Redan Hill,
39 tons, $26 per ton, All these crushings were made in the Gold Hill mill
at Grass Valley, of which Mr. Melville
Attwood was manager as the time.
At the French mill, same place, lots
of ore yielded as follows: Ophir mine,
r146 tons, $40.43 per ton; Sebastopol,
263 tons, $39.10; Wisconsin, 58 tons,
$45.12, Rich Hill, 40 tons, $24; Massachusetts, 90 tons, $180; and 17 tons,
$140 per ton. At this same ‘custom
mill the Mt. Hope lead had 2000 tons
crushéd which yielded $55 to $60 per
ton; Mt. Echo, 250 tons, $25 per ton;
different leads on Gold Hill 4000 tons,
yielding $18 to $20 per ton. The great=
