CALF FOR MA.

New York on the 4th. We give such L
items as are Of interest from the California
papers:
CANALS IN CALIroRNIA.-Although we
have not in our State regular canal for the
conveyance of merchandise in boats, there
are number of them in the mines, upon
which immense labor has been expended,
designed to carry supply of water from
the rivers to the dry diggings. In Ell Do
RADIO such canal has just been completed,
being fourteen miles in length, and built by
the individual exertions and enterprise Of
miners.
NATIVE NuTMEos OF CALIroRsIA.-lnI
CO.. Bigler's yard in Sacramento City may
be seen beautiful tree with nutmegs upon
ii in nearly ripe state. 1t was brought
down recently from between the Middle and
South forks of the American river, by Capt.
Andrew McClory, who also collected guam
tity of the product of other trees of the same
kind.
The Ell Dorado Tnnnel Company, work.
ing into hill near the Middle Bar, struck
lead averaginge so cents per pan.
QuARrz.-Mr. Gordon says that about
eight miles from Marysville, on the Nevada
road where there are no outward indica-
tions which would induce one to suppose
that there was quartz lead, some persons
dug hole, and at the depth of six feet
struck vein Of gold-bearing quartz, about
five feet in width. In appearance the
quartz resembles that found in Browns val
ley.
THE LAReEsr.--Wem mentioned some days
ago having seen an immense beet, % inches
in circumference, and weighing Al pounds.
That would, of course, be incredible abroad,
but even that is surpassed by one deposited
at the Western World Museum, San Fran
cisco, which is AZ inches in circumference,
and weighs 60 pounds. Several others may
be seen at the same place, weighing from 80
to 80 pounds each.
ScARcIrr OF CoIS.-We hear that at the
present time there is not in San Francisco
to exceed $200,00 in silver and small gold
coin. The first named currency has been
exported, while the California issues of the
latter have been melted up, and those of the
United States carried off by the Atlantic
, emigration.
THE MiNEs.-The up river papers are
filed with the letters of correspondents
from all sections of the mines, giving the
r most cheering account of the heavy fall Of
, rain, and consequent success of the miners
Bro LUMP.-We have been shown lump
Of gold worth 1912, taken out at Pine Log
Crossing, some time since, by Albert Smith
SPLENDID YIELD.-Three hundred and
, thirty pounds rock ground by Copiapo mill
some time since, for the Sell & Martin COM
pany, yielded e44 ounces gold, or 81 1867.
Another SHOCK OF AN EARTHeuAxE.--
t Earthquakes in San Francisco are getting
E to be so much of an every day matter tina
half Of the people do not notice them. Ont
+. day between the hours Of one in the morn
ing and twelve at night, three distinc
shocks were felt. They were, however, "nc
v great shakes" as no material damage was
done, that we heard Of. The day before
at about three o'clock, A. M, a severe shocl
occurred, waking up many Of our citizens
: The oscillation was to the north and south
y This. we believe, has been invariably III
8 direction of the shocks that have occurre'
:. in our city during the past two years.
:, HUMAN Bones FoUND.--One morning o
Mr.. Curtis Houghton was hunting on tn
plains, about four miles above this city Of
= the Sacramento, he discovered the skull an,
. bones of man, with remnants of clothing
y and some papers lying near by. No aesl
remained, and the coat and pants were near
. ly destroyed. The name of Michael Nc
Grath may with difficulty be deciphered o.
: one Of the leaves of the memorandum book
found near the spot, and the greater proba
bility is that this is the name Of the deceased
