ToMLINsoN ELEvAToR.--We lately visited
machine of ingenious construction erected
on Manzanita Hill, by Oliver NJ. Tomlinson
designed to elevate dirt and water from Dig
gings to which there is no drainage. The
claims of Mr.. T. are rich and extensive, but
occupying basin surround ded by wide rim
of the hardest granite, drainage could not be
obtained but by the expenditure of princely
| fortune.
To obviate the difficulty pit has been con-
struoted, into which the claims are to be sluiced
by hydraulic action. In the pit is erected a
stupendous machine, which is to lift the dirt
and water, emptying them into sluice passing
over the rim rock before mentioned. The
machine is constructed of q substantial frame
work 50 high, 40 by 2 feet base and II by 9
feet top, assuming the shape ola truncated
pyramid which is lattice braced The machinery
is composed of two over shot wheels 25 feet
in diameter each, one above and mash ing into
the other BY means of cast iron cog segments.
A fume discharges the water into the upper
"iCSA uHu passing uONu duu uuQer IL Is pour
ed into the buckets of the under wheel on the
opposite side thus double power is obtained
from the same water. The cog segments o
the under wheel mash into pinion wheel, sc
feet above the bottom of the pit, which turns
two hcxigon drums over which passes and
endless chain, the links Of which fit the sides oil
the hexigens mentioned. To the chain is at
tached IS strong wrought iron elevators hold
ing about barrel each Sufficient power is
intended to be applied to the machine to
empty 40 barrels of dirt and water per minute.
The sluice into which the water is discharged
| from the wheel, and water and dirt from the
elevators, is 800 feet long empting its contents
| below what is called "the falls" on old Coyote
Hill.
MIR. Tomlinson has ditch of his own, which
will suppy the requisite amount of water for
his machine six months in the year, and his
claims being near the Coyote Ditch, water can
be obtained the year round.
This enterprise of one of our citizens, il
successful, is destined to be of great advantage
to the mining community.

principles, President of the new revolu-

A Dollar or Two.

With cautious step as we tread our way through
This intricate world, as Oth,r folks do,
May we still on our journey be able TO view
The benevolent face of dollar or two;
For an excellent thing is dollar or two
Through country and town,
AS we pass up and down,
No passports so good as a dollar or two.
Would you read yourself out of bachelor crew.
And the hand Of female divinity sue?
You must always be ready the handsome to do,
Although it should cost you Il dollar or two.
Loves arrows are tipped with dollar or two
And affection is gained by dollar or two
The best aid you can meet,
In advancing your suit.
Is the eloquent chink of dollar or two.
Would you wish your existence with faith to imbue
And enrolled in the ranks of the sanctted few!
You must freely come down with dollar or two
The gospel is preached for dollar or two;
And salvation is reached by dollar or two:
You may sin some at times,
But the worst of all crimes
Is TO find yourself short a dollar or two.
