SITTER CREEK.-A visit to this place on
Saturday last, aud walk through the village,
sorred to convince US that it is destined to
become one Of the richest mining camps in
this portion of California Already it is a
aourishing village, Notwithstanding the great
mineral wealth Of the immediate vicinity has
only been developed to very limited extent,
comparatively speaking. Several quartz
mills are in operation, and Others are soon to
be erected Within three or four months,
several leads of astonishing richness have
been discovered Indeed, it has been fully
demonstrated that the supply Of gold-bearing
quartz is inexhaustable; and there Is no
telling the number OF mills that will be erect
cd there within say couple of years. Sut-
ter Creek is destined to be rich and pop
uous mountain town.
We cannot forbear TO mention the vine
yard orchard, and garden of Mr.. Woods, at
Sutter He has FIVE hundred grape vines
planted last year and most OF them are liter
ally loaded with what will be, when ripe
delicious fruit He has also twelve hundred
strawberry plants, that have yielded two crops
the present scason--sone Of the berries meas
urng three inches in circumference. He has
one Gg-tree Of considerable size, fourishing
hxurisntIy, and several smaller ones, that
appear to be doing we'll We noticed
small almond seeding, and peach, plum, pear,
aud apricot seedlings in abundance But
that which pleased us most is his young or
chard of some dozen or so Of apple trees
Several have apples on them. We noticed
ole in particular, two years from the graft,
aud the stock or trunk not yet one inch in
diameter bearing apples, each nearly or quite

DEAR SlR-Yom letter of the 18th inst.
was duly received and hasten to answer
your inquiries.
The hose, as the Ledger improperly terms
!, is simply a pipe 81 inches in diameter, 264
'eet long, extending from the claim to the
ditch on the hill side above and is laid on the
ground in nearly straight line so that no
frame work is necessary, except to carry it
over intervening claims.

u.er the iianges fastening the pairs together

INTO account

We consider this kind of hydraulic prefer
able to all other now in use for several reasons
1t can be laid on the ground and does not re-
quire any expensive frame work; it takes up
little or no room and can be removed with
little expense when in the way; it will last
for years without repair, except for acciden-
tai breakage, and the only expense attending
its operation is to renew the leather hose at
the lower end when necessary
| think cast iron pipes will yet be used for
hydraulic power but the present expense Of
transportation render the other kind prefera-
bic. Yours truly,
