VALUABLE NEW STONE FOR BUILDING
PURPOSES Stone, said to be of the most
excellent kind for building purposes, has
been discovered at the Nome Lackee Indian
Reservation. where millions of tons can be
had of it, If what is said of this substance
be true, it is valuable discovery indeed
The California Farmer remarks, it is of siu-
'gular formation, being of mixture like
pepper and salt. 1t is lighter than chalk,
yetiperfectly stIong. easily cut with an axe,
and n perfect non. conductor of heat. A
very little labor with an axe will seam it
in blocks, and it opens into any form and
size, like block of ice, and with han1-
some face. 1t cUn be hewed smooth, as cas-
lily as chalk Experiment have been made
at the smith forges at Nome Lackee, and it
is found that il resists fire better than the
ordinary fire brick, imported; for while q
piece Of four inches may be heated to q white
heat on one side. the hand can rest on the
oppositc side 1t makes excellent, durable
and handsome building material, and being
so light. team can carry as much iu bulk
of il. as it can of lumber Here We havea
production that will prove 'most valuable.
and save the cost Of all the FIRE. brick n0w
imported.

Immigrant Road Subscription.

Immigrant Road Subscription.
We are gratifed to learn that q very en-
cOuraging commencement has been made by
the committee appointed to procure sub
scriptions and to collect money to improve
the road from here 10 Honey Lake The
subscription lists outside Of 0roville, have
been rapidly filed up, and if the Orovlle
committee will exhibit little more energy
in the matter, the directors would be en-
abled at their meeting on the 18th to take
the initlatorv steps for opening the road, by
letting contracts, and placing men on the
work. We would urge upon our citizens
the necessity of moving in this matter with
energy at the present time. Mere talk will
not open the road. It requires labor to re
move the rocks from the track, TO cut out
the trees and under brush, to level down
the steep pitches and to bridge the streams
and ravines, and the laborer must be paid
for his hire. We tave demonstrated that
the road is pracu BILE in its natural state, for
loaded teams, and hence will require but a
small amount comparatively speaking to
render it an excellent wagon road. Let
every member of the committee exert him
self during tho next week, and the labor
will be accomplished.
The last steamer brought us the news
that the commissioner, Mr.. John Kirk, the
superintendent of the west end of the
United States immigrant road, will soon be
on his way with men, teams and means to
prosecute the road to Honey Lake. We
have the only route by which supplies can
be sent with teams from California to Utah
The Sacramento Union would have the pub.
lie believe that it is actually necessary that
supplies should be sent across the Nevada
mountains by Placerville to Carson Valley
The reasons why they must be sent by that
particular route, are notgiven by the Union
bat the Carson Valley road commissioners
are spurred up to construct the road in time
for them. Now the fact is, the route through
Oroville to Honey Lake, is decidedly the
shortest and best route from Sacramento.
1t is practicable for loaded teams in its nat
ural state, for four yoke Of oxen have hauled
nearly three tons over the route without
difficulty, and four horses have hauled a
stage coach over it, carrying their own feed
and provisions and blankets for seven or
eight persons. The few thousand dollars
that will be spent in improving this route
the coming summer, will render it as good
as any wagon Dad in California of an equal
distance. We do not see the necessity of
sending the supplies to Carson Valley. and
thence through the mountains or over des
erts to Honey Lake, when there is much
nearer and better route.
If the United States Government construct
the road acrossthe plaus IN accordance with
the provisions of the bill making appropri
tons for the same, "to point at or near
Honey Lake" and millions Of dollars cannot
build as good road from thence through
Carson Valley, as nature has already provi
ded on the route through Oroville This
will be improved during the present summer
so that loaded teams can pass to and from
tho eastern boundary of the State without
difficulty.
