WooD EMBosslNo.-A newly invented pro
cess for SO softening wood that it may be
pressed into iron moulds and receive perma-
nent and sharp impressions in bas relief, has,
under the Eame of Zyloplasty, attracted much
notice in Paris. The wood is softened bv
steam and imbued with certain ingredients,
which impart to it sufficient ductility to ena-
ble it to receive bas relief impressions from
four to five millimetres in height. For me-
dallions, bosses, DC mastic is forced into the
hollows, so that all tendency in the compress
ed wood to split or open is completely over
come. For bookbinding purposes much seems
to be expected from this process, as it is ap-
plicable to the scent or odorferous woods
cedar, teak cypress, rosewood, &c.-which
are Uermifage in their nature; so that
through their covers, books will in future be
protected from the ravages of insects.

QUITE FRoTHY.-J. W. Coffroth appeared
as orator at the grand water celebration ,
IN Columbia, and thus it was that he set his
horation going:
Mr.. President, Ladies and Gentlemen. In

us, where did you all come from, and what
did you all come for? Why is this assembly
OF bright'eyed beauty here ? and why this

menced in the District Court of this county
by Hiram G. Wheeler by his agent, Colonel
Hiram Pierson, against the city of San Fran
cisco, and an injunction obtained restraining
Thomas Findley, State Treasurer, issuing to
Thomas S. Fiske a number of State bonds be-
longing to the county of San Francisco. To-
day the injunction was dissolved, the Judge
asserting that he had no right to order the

The PRoTRERo GOLD MINEs,-For several

been freely circulated of the existence of ex.
tensive ledges Of auriferous quartz on bold
bluff directly north of Hazards Powder Mag
azine, on the Potrero. A large number Of
peasons on the lookout for fortunes, and sud
denly exhibiting remarkable desire to 90

SPOT; but SO far, it appears, have been una
bie to find a vein that will pay for working
it. Many returned yesterday, hopelessly dis
gusted. Others, however more sanguiae.
have staked of 200 feet claims, and had their
papers legally entered ia the Recorders
Office. We have heasd of no preparations
behDg made to work the quartz, or any ex-
tensive machinery being ordered at our foun-
diaries, to erect on these newly discovered
mines The price of spades, tin pans, picks
and pork and beans remain the same, without
any material advance in the rates usually
charged. The idIers and loungers about
Montgomery seem to be little affected by the
glowing accounts of the richness of the 20
trero. and the "free lunchers' still 90 their
accustomed rounds without the least idea of
being driven from the city by this dazzling

STATE GEOLOGICAL SURvEY-In addition to
the arguments advanced in favor of the pro-
posed survey, we may mention, says the
Santa Cruz Sentinel, that the Coast Range of
Mountains, extending through the counties of
Santa Cruz Santa Clara and Monterey, and
bounding on the western line of the Tulare
valley is little known to the geologist, mine
ralogist and paleontologist The soil of these
Sierras and the valleys adjacent, are greatly

Of the Geologist This range of mountain

silver mines of New Almaden and New Idra
give abundant testimony of that fact. Gold
is known to exist in Santa Cruz and Monte

been opened at Alisal, and silver almost pure
has been found near Pacheco's pass Other
minerals also abound, among which we NAV

of great value. Fossils of fish, crustacha,
mollusca, infusoria, mammalia, poll pi and of
vegetation are so extraordinarily abundant
throughout this region, that it is more Curl
GUS to see the geological formations without
fossilifera, than with them. The range offers
to the mineralogist and paleonotologist one
of the richest fields Of observation on the face
of the earth, if not the richest, st,-exceeding
the Mauvais Terres of Nebraska. The range
is said to resemble the mineral districts of
Mexico Peru and Chile Humboldt and other
travellers in the Peruvian Andes, mention the
existence of fossil mousca in the Immediate
proximity to the richest mines. The same
fact holds good of the richest mineral dis
tricts of Mexico and Chile 1t seems that
our coast range shows similar indications for
the future. The geological survey is SO vast
and important work in developing the re.
sources of the State, that we should have the
united and untiring efforts of five or six of
