Mountains are themselves worth a visit
They are not range merely, but a chaos
Of mountains three hundred miles broad,
with their forks, their snowy peaks, their
grassy bill sides, their ravincs, and their
glorious forests Snah clean, sweet miles
on miles of fragrant, softly whispering
pines, you never imagined. The air i,
@Ioriously pure, the hiI-siIes dotted with

LEGISLATIVE The Legislature will

LEGISLATIVE The Legislature will
adjourn on the 18th of April, which
will make the dnration of the session
three months and eighteen days. That
is stretching it out pretty well. Mr..
Burton's bill to provide for the payment
Of S250,000 of the outstanding indebt-
edness of the State, was discussed in
the Senate on Tuesday, and rejected.
Senate bill No. IA, which alters the
punishment Of highway robbery from
Imprisonment to death, was to have been
specially considerd yesterday. In the
Assembly the bill for the establishment
of branch Insane Asylum was defeated
by small majority, but the vote has
been reconsidered, with what result we
do not know. The most important bus
mess before the Assembly is bill pro-
viding for the sale of the sixteenth and
thirty-sixth sections of land granted to
the State for school purposes. The bill
proposes the consolidation of all monies
so produced into a general fund, the in
terest of which will be equally distrib-
uted among the school children of the
State. 1t ought to pass.
The Oakland Committee have made
another report favorable to a removal of
the Capital, and bill has been intro
duced appropriating 100000 for the
erection of State House at the new
locality. This economical proposition
will defeat the scheme, and leave the
capital where it ought to remain
The above summary is made up from
the reports in the Standard.

THE OpEN-HEARTED MAN.-Every
newspaper reader has seen paragraphs
going the rounds in reference to a Mr.
Groux-"the man with a window in
his breast" through which window, as
has been popularity supposed, his heart
could be seen performing its regular and
beautiful office. This is all mistake
The truth of the matter simply is, that
Mr.. Groux has no sternum, or breast
bone, and is thus enabled to exhibit the
motion Of his heart aided by delicate
mechanical contrivance invented for that
especial purpose. He has been lecturing
at the Smithsonian Institute, as we learn
from private letter,and many persons
who went to hear, or to see him, were disap-
pointed, and voted the lecture dull,
because the performance was not ac-
cording to the bills as they understood
them-that is, because they did not be-
hold the lecturers heart and lungs
through an open cavity in his breast.

Since the last issue Of the Press
another storm of snow, rain and wind
visited this region, and checked the
operations of miners. On Monday
morning the earth was covered with
snow to the depth of six inches or more.
A rain ensued to carry this rapidly off,
and by Tuesday night there blew a per-
feet tempest. More damage was done
to fumes and houses, and break oc-
Cured in the Middle Yuba ditch near
Hess's Crossing. This break was soon
repaired, but on Wednesday night a
more serious one was caused, at point
just this side of Emory's road, by an
extensive land slide. The ditch at this
point runs along a steep hill side, and
was literally wiped out for a distance of
one hundred and twenty feet to the
depth, in places, of thirty feet. The
gap thus formed had to be fumed
This accident occasioned the loss of a
day and half's water. The useful ele-
ment was not entirely stopped, however,
in the lower end of the ditch, owing to
the percolation from the banks and con-
tributions from numerous rayiues.
There are comparatively few gold
yields to report, though such as have
come to our knowledge are of unabated
excellence. The Sailor Company made
1913 from run of five days, working
under some disadvantages. Moore &
Readshaw cleaned up $1,000. The
Bloomer Company washed six days and
a half, and then took from few of their
upper boxes the sum of 81 ,936. The
Dutch Company, which only lately
began washing, realized the encourag-
ing amount of S310. The tunnel of
the Eureka Company, on which about
three years of constant labor has been
expended, is nearly completed, and
preparations for washing are being Wig
orously made. This company own a
large quantity of valuable ground.
We learn that the Irish Company at
Montezuma Hill lately washed out s640.
This is an unusual small amount for
them, but it must be remembered that
they were celebrating St. Patrick's day.

A PETRIFACTION.-W are indebted
to Mr. John Stidger for beautiful Gu
riosity which he found attached to the
petrifed trunk of an oak that was ex-
humed in his claim about two miles
above Columbia Hill In shape it is
not unlike the tail end of fish, some
three inches long by two and half
wide, and oneinch thick. The color of
the surface is a rich sienna brown, the
fractured end exhibiting the color and
general appearance of pitch, which led
the finder to call it petrifed pitch. Our
impression is that it is silicifed petri-
faction of the fungus growth so often
observed on oak trees, and which bears
a close resemblance to fine-grained cork.
Petrifed trees, or their trunks, are
frequently discoveredi in the deep dig
gings of these mountains, sometimes
lying on the bedrock as if drifted there
before their transformation, and with
two or three hundred feet of gravel and
sand above them. They have generally
been subjected to the action of sulphur
ct of iron, which in such cases encrusts
them until they consist almost entirely
of that mineral. More rarely the wood
has become stone by silicifcation.

RIGHT NOTIoNs.- of the ablest,
and, to the mining community at least,
decidedly the most interesting debate
which has occurred during the present
session Of the Legislature, came off in
the Assembly last week, on the joint
resolution offered by Mr.. Pixlcy relative
to the mineral lands of this State. The
resolutions, which propose the survey
and donation, or sale, in small sections
of the lands in question, were warmly
defended by their author; but his re-
marks evinced much ignorance of the
actual condition of affairs in the regions
for which he wishes to inaugurate new
system of tenure His assertion that,
in consequence of the mineral land not
having been surveyed and sold, great
confusion has arisen from the uncertain
ty of its tenure, and from conflicting
local laws regulating the possession there
of,was conyincingly refuted by Mr. Buck
of Tuolumne, who made the most sound,
practical and weighty argument we have
read on the subject. He remarked that
each district has common law adapted
to its own characteristics and. peculiari-
ties which is perfect. They never con-
fict with each other, because the iuris-
dictional limits of any set of laws is
described perfectly; and besides that,
every miner whose interest is to be af-
fected by the laws, helped to frame them,
and knows to certainty where and to
what they extend. Mr.. Buck contended
very justly, that if the mineral lands
were parcelled out into lots and held by
fee simple titles, emigration to the State
would be checked, instead of increased
as held by the friends of the resolutions.
The great inducement to immigration
may De IOunQ In the TACT tnat the min
erallands have been held as one vast COM
mon, where the rich and the poor can
meet on equal terms, and where if a
piece of land is abandoned by one to-
day it can be taken up by another to-
morrow, without cost or trouble, and
may yield him a support or fortune.
The miner being secure in his possessory
title, and having his rights protected
by laws Of his own framing which have
received Legislative sanction, does not
want a permanent interest in ground
that cannot have permanent value, and
asks nothing but to be let alone.

WHAT'S Cor INTO THE EDITORS p

WHAT'S Cor INTO THE EDITORS p
Quarreling amongst California editors
appears to be epidemic nowadays. Our
Nevada contemporaries have been engaged
in game of elimination and recrimin-
ation for some time past, all about the
escape of Griffin and the county print
ing. The alteration has become so des-
perate that the parties have been
obliged to resort to bad rhymes to ex-
press their 'pheelinks." Then the Te-
hama Gazette and Red Bluff Beacon
have been at it hammer and tongs, and
the Gazette man makes dreadful allu-
sions to Satisfaction. The San Fran
cisco editors are always in hot water,
but last week the Times and National
jumped into a dirty puddle of unusually
scalding epithets. They are likely to
cool off without dangerous results. The
latest exchange of compliments was be-
tween the respective proprietors of the
Sacramento Union and Standard,
Messrs. Anthony and Hardenberg.-
These gentlemen, being remarkable for
piety, found vent for their animosity
through the theological medium of
scripture quotations. We had almost
forgot to Chronicle little ''tiff'' in the
snowy north, and another printing dis
pute between our Downieville friends.
But the coldness of the climate will
prevent any undue warmth in those re-
gions.
Who comes next? Hope the epidem-
ic will not visit the quiet sanctum of the
PRESS. If it does, we will resort to
little hydraulic power. We would rec
ommenG all belligerent editors to either
get eight" or go to camp-meeting; for
as that wicked Byron says
''Theres nought, no doubt much the spirit calms

AGRICULTURAL IMPORTS.

AGRICULTURAL IMPORTS.-Ono
would hardly suppose that the United
States needed to import any agricultur-
al products whatever, except those which
are of such character that they can
only be grown in tropical countries, or
in the hot, sandy regions of Africa and
Asia. Yet we import considerable
number of things which can be raised,
and are raised just as well at home
Ohio and other western States produce
an immense amount of faxseed, but not
enough, it seems, to supply the demand;
for faxseed was imported last year to
the value of over s3,OOO,OO0, mostly
from the East Indies and Russia, and
linseed oil to the value of S163,7 ,757.
California should take hint from this
fact, and extend the culture of fax which
has already been commenced in few
counties. Potatoes ought to be the
very last article Of importation, yet in
1858 we paid the West Indies, England,
Ireland and New Brunswick about
100000 for an esculent indigenous to
our soil. Castor oil was imported to
the value of s143,45S. The castor
bean grows luxuriantly in California,
where it is raised as an ornament only,
when it might be made source of con-
siderable profit. Several dye stuffs
which might be grown here are i'm
ported to the value Of millions of dollars,
madder alone to the tune of S721,706.
Many other items could be quoted,
but these are the principal ones, and
suffice to prove the curious fact above
stated.
HARD WooD. Why don't some of
the agriculturalists in the lower country
who have plenty of land, turn their
attention to the raising of hard wood
timber? 1t is we'll known that the
State lacks an indigenous growth of
such wood as hickory, maple, locust and
walnut, and that our manufacturers
have to import these at considerable
cost. Yet they can all be grown here,
rapidly, and at little expense. All of
them are now cultivated for purposes of
ornament and shade, and thrive WELL
| We have known locust trees, for instance,
to attain in five years diameter of six
inches for some distance above the but,
and hight Of from twenty to thirty
feet. This is large enough to cut and
send into market It is probable that
Oregon may hereafter supply us with
such timber from her hard wood forests,
at cheaper rates than it could be pro-
duced here, to the large consumers; but
it would be an immense improvement to
any farm In California to have such tim
Der growing upon it, always convenient
for the occasional wants of the farmer,
and source of ornament and comfort
beside.

The Supreme Court decided in the of Ellison vs.
