MORE MINING 1NPRovEMENTs-NeYa
county still maintains its supremacy as an
originator of improvements in the methods
of gold saving. We learn by late number
of the Scientific american, that R. H. Dunning
of North San Juan, has procured patent
for new separator, which has been in ac-
tual use here, with his permission, for a
number of months, and is known among
our miners by the name of "Dunning's Un-
der-Current Sluice." The principle of it
may be thus described: by means of three
iron bars at the termination of section of
sluice boxes, forming Alright angled grating,
all the dissolved earth, with portion of the
water and the fine gravel only, are separated
from the cobble stones, Jumps of hard earth
and coarse gravel, and drop into a set of
more gently graded sluice boxes underneath,
where they flow slowly off in another direc-
ton, while the body of water and stones
dash down dump" or fall, to be again
taken up in sluices with the tailings from
the under-current, and subjected anew to
separation. This process insures a more
thorough amalgamation and saving of the
auriferous particles, the most of which drop
through the grating into the undercurrent,
where, being subjected to a less violent mo-
ton and passing through greater variety of
rifles, they are more likely to be finally ar
rested. Dunnng's Under-current Slaice is
used by a number of companies on San Juan
Hill, and we are informed that it is gener-
ally considered a valuable improvement, say
ing both gold and quicksilver in larger pro-
portions than the ordinary sluicc without it.
The saving effected from tailings in one in
stance, we are told, is equal to twenty five
per cent. 1t cannot be used in tunnels, of
course, because there is no room in them to
set it; but on hill-sides, where abundance
of fall can be procured, and as an adjunct
to tail sluices, it can be employed very adj
vantageously.
Another novelty in mining methods that
has lately come to our knowledge, is an al
legged Improvement in the mode of lining
sluice bottoms with cobble stones. Mr..
Bronx, of Cherokee, says he finds it much
better to lay the cobbles at different angles,
between strips of board running parallel
with the sluice, say three strips to each box
OF fourteen feet long and two feet wide, than
to make one bed of cobbles the whole width
Mr.. Sheets, of Badger Hill, has 500 feet of
rock sluice made in this manner, and says
it is more secure and economical than the
old plan, and has saved him $500 more on
single run. Mr. Bronx thinks still greater
improvement can be made by setting the
cobbles in frame of iron, in squares of
such size that they can be lifted out bod
lily. BE intends to experiment on this idea,
and if it proves useful will apply for pa
tent

"SARAH ANN" ON Hoops.-After a long 81
lence, our fair correspondent "Sarah Ann
whom we once ungallantly accused of wear
ing boots and plug hat, writes to us again,
to vent her grief over the fall of hoops. She
has been reading that Eugenie of France has
frowned on crinoline, and thus laments
"Uh Uh Tears tears Alas of what
avail are they Then cease to flow, pearly
drops ; seal up thy precious fountains tight.
Weep no more, Sarah Ann, but nerve thy
self to face the battle. Plague after plague
visits itself upon our poor weak sex, and re-
solution must bear us through. Weak sex,
indeed! Who endures more ills than we,
and with fortitude not to be excelled? Slaves
to man, to posterity and to fashion. Oh
thou hast discarded the most useful of fash
ions? Dost thou never read the papers, or
hast thou sinned in ignorance ?"
Here "Sarah Ann" discourses upon the
utility of hoops in a manner that would sub
ject us to the chances of hair pulling and
ear-boxing should we publish her remarks.
She intimates that hoops, like charity, cover
multitude of sins, and that the conse-
quences of abandoning an institution which
affords a graceful appearance at all times
would be very unhappy. Sarah Ann, you
will surely get US into trouble.

The LAST OF THE LIvE-FoR-EvBRs.-We
notice in a Kentucky paper an announce
ment of the death of Leonard Jones, more
commonly known in Kentucky as "Iive-for-
ever JONES'" He was brought up among the
Shakers at their settlement near Harrods-
burgh; but finally he became dissatisfied
with them and determined to establish an
organization of his own. Some twenty five
years since he organized a new religious sect
known as the "Live-for-evers." The cardii
nal principle of their creed was, that the
millennium was at hand, and all thatjoined the
order should live for ever. He announced
that death would interfere no more with
them and that he himself was daily rejuven-
izing. He claimed that the "bive-fof-evers"
were especially commanded by revelation to
found the New Jerusalem, and for this pur-
pose he selected Wolf Island. He petitoned
the legislature of Kentucky for grant of
that island to his sect; but the legislature
not being strong enough in the faith, paid
no attention to his petition. Soon afterwards
the patriarch of the "Lise-for-eversn, unfor-
tunately for the practical operation of their
theory, died; but Leonard attributed his
death to the fact that the patriarch was
"weak in the faith" Jones himself then
became patriarch. The organization was
finally disbanded either by the death of the
members or by their quitting it, and Jones
alone remained of the faithful. lately he
mingled somewhat in politics, having been
candidate for Governor, Congress and the
Legislature. On subjects unconnected with
his project, he showed very great intelligence:
He was only tolerabie public speaker, but
was elegant in conversation; bis portiy per-
son and the eintelligent expression of his coun-
tenance would have attracted attention in
any crowd.-San Jose Reporter.

Mono LAKE.-While the people of the nor
thern portion of the State are excited upon
the subject of the Utah silver mines, and
thousands are impatiently waiting the ad-
vent of summer that they may travel thither,
the people of the lower part of the State
think and talk mostly of Mono Lake and
Walkers river. In the regions designated
by these names, placer diggings, accessible
to labor without capital, are said to abound
and to be rich. But a small number of ad-
venturers prospected there before the OPEN
ing of winter, yet nearly all Of these reported
the existence of extensive deposits of aurif-
erous gravel, and laid claim to ground which
they intend to revisit and work as soon as
the present rigorous season passes away. If
what we are told of the regions named be
true, they offer far better field for the poor
man than the quartz lodges of Virginia and
Carson. By the first or middle of May, two
great streams of emigration will flow
from California-one from the north
to the Washoe silver mines, and another
from the south to the gold placers of
Mono Lake and Walker s river. Western
and South Western Utah will be thoroughly
explored by eager and intelligent treasure
seekers. If they find mineral resources of
sufficient extent to retain them there, an
other great producer Of the precious metals
will claim the attention of the world, and
we shall have sister commonwealth on our
eastern border, bound to us by the ties of
common origin, common purpose and
identical interests.

SMART CLIMB OF THE LAW ''-One of thu

Gotham some years since; the much loved SOL
OF worthy descendant of old Knickerbocker
His business was rather limited to be sure
from two causes; first, he did not love to work
and, secondly, whenever he undertook a case
ne proved such very slow coach in makipe
his returns, that customers got tired of him
and he very soon found his clients like angels
visits-few and far between.
But his respected progenitor, old Hanse Vor
Warken, thought him perfect prodigy; and
the worthy parent was exceedingly fond of his
only and hopeful heir.
Agentleman once asked the father how bi, son
succeeded in business, and if he were smart?
