A SIGNIFICANT ITEM.-A short
time ago We noticed that Capt. Por-
ter, at Los Angeles, was carefully
packing some grapes for expectation
to New York, as an experiment.
Judging from the following, which we
End in the Union, he need DOT fear a
failure:
"There has been . great arrival at
the Astor House of California grapes.
Several boxes came up in the steam>
Or, and the excellence of the fruit,
and the good condition in which it
arrived, indicate that the grape trade
must yet BE- an important one with

A HEAVY LoAD.-Peter Mercer
last week hauled into this town from
Marysville, for Seely, at one load
with six mules, 1925 pounds of
merchandise. This is stated to be
the largest load for the number of
animals that ever crossed Woods
Bridge. The same team took the
premium at the latc State Fair, and
dr. Mercer sold it on his return for
$4,000.

FIRE.-There we're two alarms Of
ERE this week. One originated in
Cbinadom and frightened everybody,
but did no good; the other was Gauss
cd BY the ignition Of a whiskey barrel
in saloon on Main st. Report has
it that the FIRE burned through the
barrel and was put out by the whis-
key, the spirit Of the latter not being

WHERE THE IMPROVEMENTS COME
FRoM.-Under this head, San Fran
cisco paper, the Pacific, dilates upon
fact which was noticed some time
since in this paper, to wit; that the
miners Of Nevada county have origi-
mated successfully all the chief im>
provements in mining which have
been or are now in vogue throughout
the State. The first great improves
ment was the introduction of the
''long tom," though we believe this
is not a California invention and
this naturally led to the idea Of
"ground sluicing."
"But to run the sluice and FIJI up
the "riffies" with tho yellow dust, az
well as to furnish water for dry Dig
gings, bitches were surveyed and
dug, which at once extended and
multiplied mining operations in dry
as we'll as wet seasons. For tho first
sluice and the FIRST ditch the State is
indebted to Nevada genius and en-
terprise. Progress, however, did not
stop here. It was soon found out
that there was a vast extent of mi
ming ground that contained gold, but
which could not be made to yield SUI
6ciently fast for the realisation of
big profits by the comparatively
slow processes of 'long toming' and
ground sluicing.' Matteson, with a
small wooden pipe, subsequently, I'M
proved, by a smooth lining of tin, to
lessen the friction of the water, fur
nished the idea that has grown into
the hydraulic hose engine now in
use. We may call it an engine, for
it has power sufficient to wash down
mountains, and sluce off bills, to order
and to time. Matteson was a Nevada
miner, and his first hydraulic opera
ton was on American Hill, at that
time in the corporate limits of that
famous CITY,"
Within the last year or two gall
vanized iron pipe has been used in
hydraulic mining, though we are in
formed that it was FIRST employed in
another county. Mr.. Lowe, of this
town, has increased its Ell cheney by
inventing a distributor which is
attached to the end of it, and to which |
the flexible directing hose is coupled.
The Pacific concludes it's interesting
article with reference to the new
process of bank blasting, and says ahe
miners shave taken gunpowder and
are now mining la earthquake"
"This 'gunpowder plot is an idea of
San Juan miners. San Juan is in |
Nevada county. What next from

D~B. j. Antrim, the photogra>

line who has ever been on the ridge.

FRLDsPAR.-This mineral is found
in considerable quantities at different
points in this vicinity. Next to quartz
it is a leading constituent of granite
and other rocks. According to Ure
it consists of silica, alumina, potash,
lime, and oxide of iron, and is much
used in porcelain and pottery manu-
features. It is also used in the man
ufacture of artificial teeth.

CABIN VISITED. The cabin of
Mr.. j. G. Alexander, miner on this
hill, was visited some time last week
by thieves, who overhauled a trunk
for valuables-found none, and helped
themselves to what blankets they
needed. AS Mr.. Alexander had Just
been paid several thousand dollars for
his diggings. the thieves no doubt ex-
pected = good haul, but were disap-
pointed.

The 9ydraulie gress.

4 fD@The Saw Mills in this vicinity
are kept running night and day.
There is great and constantly in>
creasing demand for lumber of various
kinds, especially for the use of mi
'ners. The saving of blocks for sluice
bottoms has become a very important
branch of the lumber business, and
several mills are almost exclusively
devoted to it.
The hydraulic press. (North San Juan, Nev. Co., Cal.) 1858-18??, 1858-11-20

The MINEs.-The Bloomer Com
pany cleaned up 5000 last week.
Another interest has been sold in
these claims for $4,000. The ma
jority Of the miners on San Juan hill
are not washing at present, being en-
gagged in cutting the granite, laying
sluices, &c. Mr.. J. P. Olmstead ,
who formerly conducted the San Juan
Star, has struck ravine diggings in
this vicinity which prospect four bits
to the pan. "Star wano."
CHERoKEE.-Active preparations
are making for the advent of the next
rains. Upon their arrival the Mi
ner's Ditch Company will introduce
water through the old Grizzly Ditch,
and thereafter steady supply will
be afforded from one end of the year
to the other. This will give Chero-
kse fresh start, and fill her homes
and cabins with wealth and smiling
faces.
CAMPToNvILLE. ALI the compa-
MES who are washing at this locality
are doing well. In some instances
the miners are shoveling the old tail
ings into their sluices and making
from $40 to $50 per day. We have
a selfish reason for wishing our Camp
tonville friends good luck and plenty
Of it; they patronize the HYDRAULIC
PRGss more libcrally than any other
town outside Of San Juan.

SHELTERING STOCK.

Why do you shelter your stock ?"
| reply, to keep them comfortable in
cold and stormy weather. We ali
like comfort of one kind or another,
and dumb beasts like it as we'll But
considerations of economy and human
ity should induce us to shelter all our
domestic animals, during inclement
weather. Less food is required to
keep them in thriving condition when
thus protected than when exposed
The vital heat must be kept up
to certain point; this is done by the
food consumed, which may be COM
pared to fuel, for keeping the animal
locomotive in motion. Shelter tends
to preserve animal heat, exposure de-
creases it, or rather makes more food
necessary to support it. And | find
boards cheaper than fodder, or that
their combined use is the truest econ
omy.
Shelter enables us to give more
equable temperature to our stock.
No animal can be exposed to winter
storm of snow or slcet, without injury
to its health and condition. The
evaporation of the snow or rain upon
the skin of an animal, is at the ex-
pense of the vital heat of that animal,
and may be better prevented than its
injury remedied after it takes place.
Stables for working animals and
milch cows are part of the essential
requisites of good farm. Sheds for
sheep and young cattle are also need
ed, in order to their thrift and comfort.
1t is strange that farmers do not more
generally see and heed the losses they
sustain in this particular. A single
glance at the coat of an OK or COW,
sheltered, compared with those ex.
posed to the weather, would show
such difference in looks and condi.
ton, as to convince any reasonable
man that shelter was necessity, as
well as the best economy, in this eli.
mate, for all domestic animals s.--Ens.
