MINES AND MINING INTEREsTs.-The CORES
pondent of the San Francisco Times, of 9th
instant, says:
The Committee on Mines and Mining Inter
ests to-day reported in favor of indefinitely
postponing the joint resolution offered several
days ago by Mr.. Hancock, asking Congress to
relinqush its title to the Mineral Lands of this
State, in order that the State may encourage
their Development by healthy legislation. 1t
created quite stir at once. Mr.. Warmcastle
pronounced it a /" one-sded affair."" and Mr..
Crane said every body knew what would be
the report, the moment that the reference took
place.
Mr.. Davis said that the members from the
agricultural counties desired fair discussion
and did not wish to be choked down. The
mountain members came to the rescue 1t is
unnecessary to say that the passage of the
resolution involves the whole question of tax
ing mining claims, upon which both sides of
the House are very sore. An attempt to make
the whole thing the special order for Thursday
failed, and the report was placed on the regu-
lar file.
The same letter also says, in speaking of
the effort to appoint official reporter for the
Senate:
sensible act was performed by the Senate
this morning: they refused to employ an Off
cia reporter, by vote of l3 to IA.
Not five minutes had elapsed before the in
dividual desiring to be dubbed official was
log-rolling among Senators to get reconsid-
Grafton of this yote but it is hardly possible
for him to succeed. The immediate result of
an official reporter, is the disbursement of Sl2
per day, Sundays and all, and the next re-
suit is that Senators grow gassy and let out
long-winded speeches, merely to see them in
print.
But log-rolling has succeeded. The Senate
reconsidered their vote, and passed the reso-
luton without opposition. This nice little ST.
necure is the political "sop" of the State
Journal, for while the other more enterprising
newspapers pay for their own reports, The peo-
pie pay Sl2 per day, for the reports that gen.
orally are published in the party organs

MINING NEws.--We have no big strikes to
chronicle-no new diggings-no big chunks
no, nothing. On Thursday, while en- route for
the rich discovery, at the Kentucky House,
we and as went the by-path through the "dark
ravines" on the limestone range east of Ban
nigan's ranch and Moonlight Flat. Water
appeared to be plenty, and in every gulch
were parties of miners at work, but with what
success deponent saith not while "us' risked
an opinion that they were doing well, with the
ledge pitching.
AroundsSan Andreas a great many miners
are at work in the main guch, as many as
thirty companies are washing over old tailings
or cleaning up the dirt carted out during the
summer. Some are doing well-all are max
ing wages. We are informed that great ac-
tivity prevails, in mining, in the Old Gulch and
Calaveritas region Every day we see loads
of hydraulic pipe, hose and other parapherna-
liza of hydraulic mining. We know one claim
out that way that averages $500 per month,
clear, with the labor of three men, Surface
diggings are also being successfully worked all
along the line of the Table Mountain and Capt
Pope's ditch. The Union Company furnish
water on Chaparel Hill, Gold Hill Flat. and
all along the main gulch, where miners are
making fair average wages.

THE KREMLIN.-This most wonderful speci-
men of mechanical Ingenuity, is now on ex-
hibition at Knickerbocker Hall, where we had
the pleasure of examining it a few days ago.
1t is claimed by Maj. Malowanski, the inventor,
to be an accurate representation in all its de-
tails and proportions, of the summer residence
of the Cars; mot the old Kremlin that was
another affair, and destroyed in 1922 The
style of the architecture is certainly similar to
the palaces of southern Russa-an agreeable
mixture of the light and fanciful Oriental, with
the more solid and impressive Gothic. 1t is
four stories high, with tower at each end,
and larger and higher one in the centre, sur
mounted by dome each story is surround
ed, except in front, by a piazza. 1t contains
three flights of winding stairs from the ground
to the top of each tower; 162 doors and win
dows. The floors are in Mosaic There is
large court yard surrounding the palace, and
the whole is picketed in by high, graceful
picket, which, viewed through an opera glass,
have the appearance of being pointed with
Cossack sentinel at the outer gate the bayo-
netted muslzets stacked in the yard and the
swivel hung over the arched gateway, seems
q perfect presentation of some great original
connectel with the power and grandeur of

The palace is of the following dimensions
twenty four inches high eighteen inches long !;
twelve inches wide; and has one hundred and
sixty-two windows and doors, glazed twenty
eight rooms, connected thirty eight balco-
nies; eighty-four pillars; eleven flights of
