HOME iNDUsTRY.-It is worth while for ev-
cry citizen of good nerves to visit the shop
where Frank Smith and j. b. Low, our en-
terprising townsmen, are manufacturing
1,700 feet of iron pipe, which is intended to
convey water from the Eureka Co.'S branch
ditch across the village to the diggings =
Eight men are employed cutting, punching,
rolling and riveting the iron, and the noise
they make falls on the ear like an inspiring
reminiscence of boiler yards. 1t gives one a
fresh appreciation Of the power of mechan-
les to see Dicks press, that is so novel yet so
simple in its construction, punching through
plate of English iron one eighth of an inch
thick, twenty rivet holes at every descent Of
a lever controlled by cne man, or, with a
great pair of shears, trimming the tongh
metal as easily as our assistant would steal
an item! The pipe is made from strips of
iron &c inches wide by 76 inches long which
strips are rolled and rivetted together into
sections of pipe "a feet long, and from %!
inches to SO inches in diameter. The sections
will be Joined on the spot where they are
wanted. The entire pipe, above stated
will be |, 700 feet long, and will be laid on
the hillside to the old Grizzly reservoir,
across that cn trestles, under ground thro'
the town, emerging again onto the hill al
about the center Of San Francisco street,
thence along the ground to the distributing
flume at the digeiugs. II is calculated to
deliver 700 inches of water, and to stand
pressure from such stream of from $50 to
200 feet. It will be completed about the
middle of April.

GEOLOGY OF TIE EASTERN SLoPE.-The re-
glon is one where metamorphism Of the rocks
has been most intense and complete, and
where eruptire porphyries, not unlike those
of the Mexican plateau, abound. 1t is prob
able that these extensive silver bearing veins
will be found to be coincident in direction
with belts of limestone, and near them. A
belt of limestone, probably of the age of the
carboniferous, is found in connection with
quartzites, or metamorphosed sandstones,
at the southern end of the Sierra Nevada on
the eastern slopes, and the formation is,
without doubt, extended northward through
the region of Owens river and lake, Mono
lake, and the Walker river country to Carson
Valley, and beyond. This belt of country,
extending over FIVE degrees of latitude and
about four hundred miles in length, should
be Immediately explored. We venture to
affirm that it will be found rich in minerals.
and in silver-bearing veins. The whole re-
gion of the Great Basin-that vast expanse
of mountain ridges and valleys-is also one
of the most promising fields for exploration,
though at present none butthe precious met
ais can be pro6tably mined there -.ui,sin9

FEMALE ENTERPRIsE.-Cal is more
susceptible to female influence than any
other country In the world. Here. whatever
women will, they do; and whatever they
will net, they won't. In the mountains
particularly. they have their own way in
everything; 1T must be as they say. Last
fall the ladies OF Columbia said their town
must have a fire engine: tie work they went
and now that town has two first class en-
gines and one of the most efficient FIRE De-
pariments in the State. Next, the Sis.erhood
of Shaw's Flat wanted a bell for their
church they had only to dance one evening
to get it. Last week, the city mothers of
Columbia resolved to ameliorate the condi-
ton OF the rising generation. To accomplish
this laudable end they gave another of those
interesting ladies' festivals, where everybody
can find rational and profitable amusement,
from the proceeds of which they realized
FIVE hundred dollars, to be appropriated to
the benefit OF the public school. Their in
huence is all on the right side. Success to
their etforts.-!Soaora 4ge.

About 100000 sewing machines have been
sold in the last eight years 1t is probable
that number will be sold annually hereafter
Contrary to the predictions of many on the
first introduction of sewing machines, sew
ing girls, those whom necessity compels to
earn their livelihood by the use of the needle
have been greatly benefited by this inven-
tipn. Thousands of them have found better
remuneration and lighter toll. 1t is no un-
common thing for those who, toiliug night
and day, could earn only one or two dollars
per week, TO now receive from three to ten
dollars per week for operating sewing ma
chine, two-thirds as many hours, and with
