SILVER Mining in California.

The presence of silver ore has been detec-
ted in the counties Of Butte, Sierra, Plumas
and FL Dorado. In Butte county. the dis
covery seems to have produced great excite
ment among the miners. In the other dis
tricts the development has not been such as
to occasion much comment. Still, IL is fair
to presume that in all our mountain coun-
ties silver mines exists and before long il
would not be supervising if discoveries be
made establishing the fact. In the intoxi-
eating search for gold the indication OF the
presence of other minreals have been over
looked, and it is evident from the new won
ders which every day greet US that the busi-
ness Of the prospeetor has been but half ac-
complished.
We trust with the Sacramento Enion,
that Professor Whitney. as State Geologist,
will speedily enter upon the duties assigned
to him by Act Of the last Legislature. His
investigations will be of immense value to
the people of this State, In familiar langu-
age, he will be able to take general inven-
tory Of the value of California to the

RoNAS LONDON is the title VI a new work
by Mr. Charles r. Smith. in Ito withcolsred
plates. Mr.. Smiths collection OF antiques
was lately purchased by the British Museum.
His life has been chiefly devoted to antigua
rian researches. The object OF this work Is
to present London a. il was when the Ro-
mans were in the leland. And we are told
that the ancient LOndinHni is so completely
buried under the present city. that the prin-
cipal means Of investigation. have been the
cuttings and excavations made for the re-
cent sewers. which often penetrate twenty
five feet downward, 10 the site OF the origi-
nal Roman London. The We, tiges aud monu-
ments OF the old city thus brought to light,
reveal the habits. ornaments, household god.
domestic implements. and money, of its an
cient Inhabitants. Among other interesting
facts, il is now proven tha. the piles under
the London bridge, are but little decayed.
though it Is more than five hundred years
since they were driven. The wooden piles.
oak, elm, beech and chestnut 6f the old Sa-
voy Place in London. are perfectly sound. i.
This building is known 10 be about seven
hundred years old The piles Of the bridge
built by Trojan, over the Dunube. one thoa-
sand six hundred years ago, are how found
to be petriiied to the depth OF three-quarters
of an inch. and the rest of the wood preser-
we'd nearly in its original state: These facts
SHOW the durability of timber in a wet state.
Will our psychologists and Life Insurance
agents tell US wether damp climates are fav-
orable to long life Will some one tell us
why the timber of this State near the ocean
is so utterly worthless , And by the way,
this resurrection of the Roman Loudoi ts-
gether with that Of the cities of the Nile. and

PLAcERvILLE AND SACRAMENTO VALLEY
RArLRoAD.-The engineer. William ]. Lewis.
employed by the Mayor and Council of
Plaeerville, to survey route for a railroad
between that city and the Sacramento Valley
Railroad, has submitted his report to said
Mayor aud Council. To his courtesy the
Sacramento Union is indebted for a glance
at its contents. The distance from Folsom
to Placerville is 2ss mles, and by line to
Monte Cristo, five miles below Folsom, 32k
miles. The route adopted runs. for most of
the distance, on the dividing ridge between
the Cosumnes and Weber Greek, keeping
very nearly the course OF the stage road
from here to Placerville. The grade OBJ
tained was fully as favorable as was antici :
pated, though several tunnels, for short
distances, and a considerable trestle work
will be required. On the line there are
twenty trestle bridges, the longest 2,2OO
feet shortest l66 feet aggregate number
Of feet, 1908. The greatest hight which
is met at Clark's Ravine, is lis feet The
entire cost for the trestle bridges, is esti.
mated at sl92, ,425 Al. One thousand feet
Of tunnel is estimated to cost $4,000. The
total cost OF the road, according to the es-
innate Of the Engineer Is Sl.O50.347 63
There is but a slight difference in the cost Of
the line 10 Folsom or Monte Cristo. The
highest grade on the line Is 95 feet to tbs
mile for four miles. Including everything
necessary to put the rolling stock on, pay
for buildings, fixtures, fencing and damages
for right Of way, and the aggregate cost will
reach say twelve hundred and fifty thousand
dollars.
The annual gross earnings of the road are
estimated at s426,Ooo; expenses, sl9l, 600
net receipts, s235 ,O0O or is $40 per cent
on the capital invested. The report is full
and carefully prepared.
