PorATo FLY-CaRthdris Ii.tdta.-This
insect has been unusually destructive to the
potato crop in many parts Of the country the
present season. We have seen in the papers
.requent enquiries what il is, and whether
tnerc is any effectual way OF checking its raw
ages in the fields and gardens.
Il is an insect that frequently attacks po-
,atos. tomatoes. beets, &c, IN dry seasons 1t
is known under the name OF caatharts
s.ttQta.
In medical practice it is found equal to
the Spanish fly in all its properties. In this
aspect it was noticed in Il memoir by DR..
Isaac Chapman. of Berks county, Pennsyl-
vana, in the New York Medical Repository,
in 1905. During the war of 1912, Spanish
Ties rose to an extravaganza price. and at
length could not be had at all in some parts
of the country. This emergency led TO the
extensive use ofthe potato fly, above named.
in the Eastern hospitals, dispensaries, and in
private practice.
The fly is about three quarters of an inch

wing.

is also said that merely going over the field

! which are worth $4,000, and which would
be dead loss in case of removal.
The county is paying for the erection of
large granite jail, the walls of which are
now nearly up, and for the building of which
the Board of Supervisors has pledged the
sacred faith of the county in the sum of
! S16,000-and more than half the sum has
already been paid.
The jail could be put to no other earthly
use than that for which it is being built,
and could not be sold at any price
The bill calling the election provides
that in event Of removal the Board of Su-
pervisors shall levy special tax of $780,
900 clear OF cost of collection, to defray ex-
penses incurred thereby, and to erect new
county buildings.
The collection of $4,000 clear to the
treasury, will cost at the lowest estimate
S25 900, which also must come out of the
special tax, making an aggregate of $75,-
coo.
The taxable property of the county foots
up little over two and half millions of
dollars, so that to raise SIS, 1000 will require
an assessment of Just about $500 on every
500. A man having $1,000, must pay
$50 of the special tax, to build new jail
aud court house in Placerville. If you
should be so unfortunate as to be seized of
property to the amount of five thousand dol
lars, one hundred and fifty dollars will pay
your share of the cost of removal
So it will be seen that a removal of the
county seat to Hangtown would result in a
loss to the county of about $4,000 for the
building lots and court house in Coloma,
$4,000 for the stone Jail which will be
completed next month, $4,000 special tax
to erect new buildings, and $4,000 more
included in the special tax to pay the cost
of its collection-in all $4,000, and de-
pend upon it 100000 will no more than
pay the BILL"

New MINING PRoJECT.-It is in contem-
plation by several citizens of Grass Valley
says the Telegraph, to form company in
that place for prospecting by means of an
Artesian well boring machine. 1t is said
that all the necessary apparatus, with steam
engine for working the same, and pipe for
sinking 300 feet, can be purchased in San
Francisco for about $4,000. The cost OF
running the machine would be $l5 for each
II hours. A well 10 inches in diameter
can be bored in ordinary drift at the rate of
from l8 to a feet for each u hours. A
similar well can be sunk through ordinary
slate rock at the rate Of about II feet for
each twelve hours. Consequently, in drift,
shaft could be sunk $50 feet deep for
about $l88. To reach the same point, or
even 200 feet, in the ordinary method would
require an outlay of at least $4,000. A
prospect from the bedrock by the Artesian
well borer would be equally as satisfactory.
IN proportion to the amount of superficial
surface prospected, as would be that taken
from the bottom of an ordinary shaft. Tn
the latter case, if the prospect was not sat-
isfactory, the adVenturer would probably
proceed to drift. In the former, he would
move his borer Is, 20, or 80 feet, as might
be deemed advisable, and sink another shaft.
This could be done for from one-auarter to
one-eighth the cost Of drifting.

PIONEER CIRCUs.-We have not for
many day witnessed better exhibition
than that given here on Saturday evening
last by Messrs. Rowe & Co.'s Pioneer Cir
Gus. Although the moist condition of the
ground rendered the riding both difficult
and dangerous-the horses having fallen on
two occasions-the various feats of eques-
trianism were unexceptionable and capti-
waiting. The testers, Wallet and Rochette,
kept the immense auditory--the largest,
most attentive and orderly, ever assembled
in Georgetown-in an unceasing uproar OF
laughter Rochette is an old faYorite a.
mong the mountain boys, and he more than
sustained his former reputation. In the
course Of three months, this company will
again visit this place.

The REwARD.-In little dry gulch
which puts up into the hill on the west side
of Illinois Canon, near the Buffalo Tunnel.
company of three men have been realizing
from one to three ounces per day, each, for
two or three weeks past. The lead was
discovered some three weeks since by an
enterprising miner who took the trouble to
believe that because the gulch was dotted
with prospect holes sunk, perhaps, never so
long ago, when the bitches which now in
tersect this whole section, were not dreamt
of in anybody's philosophy, and when
ground of that character was considered
worthless unless it would pay for carrying
in pan or sack several hundred yards to
water to be washed, was no reason that it
might not pay now that the facilities OF
water are brought to hand by the bitches.
And there are hundreds of just such places
yet untouched, which are passed daily by
famishing miners, who plod by without a
thought of testing them, because these old
holes stare them in the face, seeming to
say: "We have been tried with pick and
shovel and found wanting"
The prospecting miner needs large share
of energy. Somebody has said that the
,,reat difference in men consisted in the diff
ferent degree of energy possessed by each;
AID in no sphere in life is this better exenl-
plifed than in that OF mining. You can
read the amount of energy possessed by a
miner, by noting his manner of prospecting
The listless, lazy fellow will leave his mark
in little two-by-two hole out of which he
is driven long before reaching the bedrock.
He of the strong will writes it In pit
broad and deep. which gives evidence that
he is not satisfied until the ground is fairly
tested.
We had a mining partner once-a CON
stitutionally tired one at whose prospect
ing theories we have oft-times been amused.
When out gold-seeking together we would
sometimes Suggest the proprlety OF Trying
piece of ground which looked favorable
He would reply: ooh, it's no use; some one
has sunk there, and if he had found any
thing he would have worked the ground
A little further on we would make the same
suggestion in reference to piece of ground
wholly unprospected, and would be an
swered: mo; if there was any probability
of their being lead there, some of the
many experienced miners who have been
along mere would have given it trial" and
so his let-alone theory applied everywhere,
and the state of his finances bear witness
that he has practiced that theory his life
long, for his pockets are this day guiltless
Of 'scad.'

- -
ITO BENJAMIN G. CURR1ER, at the house of
F. Graham, Georgetown, April II, 1856,
by T. B. PATTEN, in behalf of himself
and others:
Gentlemen: You are aware Of the object
of this gathering, which is to present to our
friend, Benjamin G. Currier, a simple testi-
monial of our esteem for him as a Man,
Companion and Friend
Mr.. CURRIER: A few of your personal
friends, desirous of showing their esteem for
you, have, [ believe, unknown to you, pre-
pared Parting Gift, the production en-
tirely Of Georgetown, both Of material and
workmanship.
have been requested to present it in
their behalf; but feel myself incompetent,
and would wish that some other friend had
been selected to perform this pleasing GER
emony.
You are on the eve of departure for your
old Home in the Atlantic States, perhaps
never to revisit US, we are therefore desirous
that you should carry some remembrancer
with you Of days here spent and friends you
leave behind you. Yet we rest confidently
on Hope (the sheet-anchor Of all Californi-
ans) that we may meet and again greet you
with the warm hand of friendship, fresh and
pure as our mountain air.
Tonight we give you our parting greet
ing, and with it this Token, the free gift
offering to Honest Pride, Industry and
Worth. Some of US have toiled side by side
with you, and have had an opportunity of
knowing and appreciating your worth; and
it is this appreciation that prompts US to
tender you this testimonial of our regards.
1t is not for its princely worth, for in itself
it is of little value, save as we present it as
memento from Friend to Friend. AS
such may you ever treasure it, and when
old age comes like blast upon you, may
this staff yield you the support that feeble
nature requires and help to keep green in
your memory the scenes of the past and the
Friends that now surround you.
Benjamin, accept this gift as an evidence
of the regard in which you are held by your
friends:-Bye, Shaw, Henry, Stelle, Spear,
Fuller, jerks, Lewis, Graham and Patten;
and allow me to express their best wishes
for pleasant and speedy passage home,
and joyous welcome from old friends and
kindred; and may you never know that
hour when you can say "rich gifts wax poor
when givers prove unkind."
Mr.. Currier replied as follows:
Gentlemen: l am completely taken by
surprise at this unexpected testimonial Of
your respect. l know not why have mer-
tied this compliment. Around me l see my
oldest and tried friends, and in my inter
course with you have ever received the
seventy times seven" and am still more
your debtor. l thank you for this your
beautiful and valuable present. May the
natural productions of this town always
possess as valuable association7-to me. as
sociations of six years in the beautiful town
of Georgetown. May its beauty, strength
and utility be ever the characteristics Of
your life. My friend, you will please ac-
cept my heartfelt thanks for yourself and
associates.
