The Survey of the Public Lands.
WAsHINGToN, May 5.-The Commissioner of the
General Land Office has sent letter to the Survey
OF. General of Nebraska, Gen. Burnett) noti-
Tying him that the system of indiscriminate ex-
animation in the field of the public SURVEYS which
has been in practice some years back in the general
surveying districts and requiring certain retained
percentage on contracts wherewith to pay such
examinations, having been found to work disadvan-
tageously both to the deputy surveyors and to the
government, has been discontinued by the depart
ment-to take effect from and after the lst of July
next 1t is determined to supersede the method
which has heretofore prevailed by a restriction to
the mode prescribed in the provision made in the
tenth section of the act for the public surveys in
California, passed March l, 1858, viz: They de-
vove the duty on the Surveyor General himself
to be executed personally when it is possible to do
so, without neglecting his ordinary duties In case
he cannot attend to them personally, he may dis
patch one of his employees. Should this not be
practical the law authorizes him to dispatch con-
fdential agent but the term of such employment is
not to continue longer than thirty days.

IHE PROGRESS OF THE GREAT EASTERN STEAMSHIP
This leviathan steamer having now definitely pa g.
ed into the hands of the Great Ship Company ac
tive steps are taken in order to have the vessel ready
for sea by the latter end of July or the beginning
OF August. Several hundred workmen are enoa
ged IN the work; and the progress is rapid The
great shalt, weighing upwards of thirty tons was
some time since placed on board. Since that time
the fitting of the machinery has progressed ranidIv
and one of the masts will be set up in the If
a lew days The mast is now laying alongside the
ship, and the shears prepared for hoistng il in
to Its place. There will be six masts to the shin
three OF iron and three of wood. Those in the
neighborhood of the tunnels will be of iron, the
ioremasts OF wood. The necessity of having iron
masts will be readily understood when it is remem-
bered that the furnaces, burning some $50 tons Of
coal per day, will send enormous heat throuob the
monster tunnels. 1t happens at times that il s ne
cessafy TO cut away the masts and when thew are
OF timber there is an obvious mode of accomplishno
ths OBJECT. Masts OF iron do not, however afford
the same facilities, but this difficulty is tn he
come by screw OF enormous power which placed
on deck and at tached to the masts will when set in
motion, crush IN the iron Sides and let the towering
columns fall overheard. A very ingenious arranpe
ment Tor fastening the rigging to the masts il to he
adopted, which in the event of its being necessary
to send the masts overheard, will afford facilities
for Immediately letting go al! the ropes. The
shrouds and stays will be secured to iron rings
constructed as readily to open when reqnired but
| on other occasions holding with firmness which
defes any amount of strain which might be brought
to bear upon them. The whole of the rigging will
be of iron wire. The main and topmast yards of
the square rugged masts will be of iron and the
length of the main yard l20 feet, or yery nearIV y
forty-feet longer, and several times as strong a.
the main yard of the largest lineo ofbattle-ship
ahoat. 1t has been finally decided that Portland

LUMBER RESOURCES OF THE NORTHERN CoAsT-Tba
NoHher" Cdtyornidm, of Union, Humboldt Raw,
gives the following account of the timber GROWING
along the Northern coast of California. and the
lumber produced in Mendocno and Humboldt conn
ties ~
In noticing the peculiar features and resources
OF wealth In this Northern region, that which most
prominently strikes the observer is the immense
belt OF timber which skirts the base and ascends
the slopes OF the foothills of the Coast Range
Ihls belt, varying from four to twelve miles in
breadth, extends through large portion of Men
doclno and the whole Of Humboldt Klamath and
Del Norte counties, to the State line. Owing, how
ever, to the small number of accessible harbors in
convenient proximity to this immense mass of yep
etabe growth, but little has been done on anv CON
siderable scale in its manufacture and export ev
cept at Mendocino Mills and Humboldt Bay,
The prevailing varieties which are found in Hum
bodt county are redwood, red and white fir spruce
and, In few localities, as on Mud River are some
noble specimens of white CEDAR Scattering speci-
mems OF white ash and maple and bay are found ON
the wet swaes and on the bottoms but not in sniff
cient quantities to form an article of trade,
The value of the belt Of native timber of which
we have spoken can scarcely be estimated in figures
The quantity is inexhaustible for many years to
come, and the annual product only depends upon
the extent of the demand and the manufacturing
appliances used for making it. At present there are
ten saw-mills in Humboldt county, in greater or
less state of activity-which, besides supplying
what Is wanted for home consumption, furnish
freight for an average of about five coastipp yes
sells, weekly, the year round.
