Galvanized Iron Pipe.

mining purposes is rapidly extending. AS
soon as its value becomes known, it will be
adopted for hydraulic purposes all over the
State; and even ditchng companies will find
1t very useful and great saving where they
desire to carry a given quantity of water
across gulch or fiat, and at the same time
avoid the heavy expense of constructing a
flume.
A year or little more ago, Messrs Ma
son d Foster at Volcano, adopted the gal
vanized pipe, instead of the ordinary hy-
draulc, and at once demonstrated its complete
practicability. The pipe receives the water
direct from the ditch, or reservoir, and is laid
on the ground to the claim, where few feet
of leather or duck hose and the nozzle are
attached. The pressure of the water is of
course the same as though the column was
perpendicular and the force is increased over
the duck hose, because the friction offered by
the pipe is not SO great The construction
of the fiume is avoided, and there is no
danger OF the pipe wearing out; whereas
duck hose has to be replaced at frequent
intervals. The original expense, likewise, is
very much less than usually attends the con-
struction of a hydraulic of the old style
For instance, galvanized pipe costing GER
tainly not more than one-third as much as the
elegant hydraulic of Coolidge e. Co. at Gin
ton, would indeed answer a better purpose;
for there would not be a large quantity of
duck hose to be replaced perhaps every few
weeks
Last week we alluded to new and sue
cessful experiment that had jnst been made
by Mr.. Walsh, at Union Flat. BY this, it
has been demonstrated that the galvanized
pipe may also be used safely, and at great
saving of expense, in the conducting of lar
ger quantities of water than are required for
a single hydraulic head Mr.. Walsh desired
to run branch of his ditch across Union
Flat, and to avoid the construction of high
flume, resorted to the galvanized pipe, which
was first laid upon the ground, (but has since
been buried three feet) so that the pipe
reached from one bank across the fiat to the
other. The pipe was manufactured in Vol
cano, by Mr.. Lunney, of No. 21 iron, and is
five and half inches in diameter The
pressure it withstands is no less than one hun
dred and Ten feel, and the volume of water
discharged is between eighty and one hun
dred inches. This volume is increased be-
yond what it would naturally be, from the
fact that the pipe is considerably higher where
it receives than where it discharges. 1t is
supplied through pen-stock.
We have published these particulars for
the benefit of miners and ditchers in all parts
of the State. They will find the galvanized
iron pipe an almost invaluable improvement
In this particular region it will be found es
pecialy useful and convenient; for in most
cases. where water is required, it has to be
conducted across ravnes or gulches VIII
some one given it trial?

We would respectfully call attention to the

,nllic school, with an average attendance of
,oorly sixty, is under the charge of one teach
u and is kept in the church, building
Which is not well adapted to the purpose
Tbere should by all means be two school
rOoms, and an assistant teacher.
It is estimated, we believe, that a good
house can be built, of brick, for about 1900 /;
mi we understand that one of our enterpr-
spg citizens has literally offered to be one
\ fifteen to furnish the means. From the
Known Tberality of our citizens generally
Ne cannot doubt but that the project will
succeed Let each man do his part, and the
burden will not fall heavily upon any.

ded to the talents OF physician and surgeon, he
is a gentleman of easy manners, and possesses n
