The Coal On SPRINGs.-The Coal Oil
Springs, near the Mattole Valley, in Hum
boldt county, are creating quite an excite
ment AT the time the announcement was
first made, 1t was regarded by many il the
light OF one of those humbugs with which the
history of California so much abounds. The
items were read, wondered at, and forgotten,
being regarded as another ''soap mine fable
But the thing can no longer be questioned -
The whole surface of many acres of ground,
gives forth from every crcvice in the rocks
small streams of coal OIL very similar to sprngy
grounds, where the water collected by some
neighboring highlands, finds its way to the
surface. This oil, of course, is not in the re-
fined state suited for parlor use, although it
will burn with an Intense heat but the flame
has too much of the coal or tarry impurlty.-
Distillation, as experiment has proven, renders
1t all that refinement can require, and is sus-
ceptible of the highest degree of perfection.
Big River john" who has had numerous
opportunities to witness results from the pros
poets made informs US that instead of the story
being exaggerated. the truth bas not even been
fairly told. Were distilery for its refine
ment once established and the mines fairly
opened, we are inclined to believe that these
springs would prove one of the richest among
the many untold and ncomprehensibe resourc-
es of wealth of California. The springs are
about eight miles from a harbor on the coast
and though some hills may intervene, we ap-
prehend that few thousand dollars would find
means to level road for its transportation.

saving gold in quartz mining which, it strikes

wagon wheel, which felloes are joined and form
complete circles around the inside of the drum,

angle of one half inch to the foot, and has
rotary motion in box. similar in appearance
