Discovery of Es0raX i'm California

The San Francisco BuIIetin saws that
lake has been found in California which con.
tains inoXhaustible supplies of the purest
boraX-an article worth % cents in gold per
pound.
BoraX lake, whence the article is obtained,
is about two miles in circumference, sur,
rounded by high hills, and furnishes rcser-
voir for the water that pours down their
sides during the rainy season. In the sum
mer season it is quite shallow and the crys,
talized borax is extracted from the mud on
its bottom in Jumps varying in size from
ten-pin to the mnntcst particles. After ex-
tracing these crystals the mud of the entire
lake has been found to contain large per.
centage of borax. The company have sunk
an artesian well to the depth Of sixty feet
and found the mud to contain, even at that
depth, more or less borax. Recently mud
taken out at depth Of several feet was
analysed by Professor &. Z. Moore, after
the crystals had been extracted, and found
to contain Il Ito per cent. of borax.
tween thirty and forty tons per annum; in
the whole United States. 500 tons per an
mum. From 5000 to 1000 tons are used an
nually in Great Britain, over | 100 tons be-
ing consumed in the potteries of Stafford
shire alone Hitherto most Of the borax of
commerce has been manufactured in Eng
land from boracic acid obtained from Tus-
cany and the common soda. Natures cru
chile does not appear to have conjoined the
two substances in the form of crystalized
borax, except in very few places, and in
limited quantities. 1t has been found in
certain lakes in Thibet and in some parts of
Persia and China, but the deposit at Borax
lake, in California, is probably the largest
hitherto discovered, and chemically Analysed
proves it to be also the purest.

willing to Shake Hands and be
Friendly


We accept, without reserve, every assur
ance Of the continued friendship between
France and the United States which found
utterance at the dinner, but we do so because
the course of past events made their truth
antecedently probable, or rather certain.
! We are left just where we were, but, it must
be added, our former position was perfectly
satisfactory. Had we nothing more to rely
upon than the enthusiasm of the guests Of
the Grand Hotel, we should not, however,
be so confident. 1t would, in fact be Il
mistake to accept the brilliant assembly
which met together at the top of the Rue de
la Pax as the spokesman of the American
people. The strength of the nation hes in
a mass Of energetic, industrious and selfr re-
liant men, &ho have nothing in COMMON
with travelled lovers of art TO coniound
together Americans at home and Americans
abroad is as great Il blunder as it would be to
suppose that a Russian noblcman on his
travels is representative Of peasant freed
from seridom. The mistake in the latter

whenever the mistake is made with respect

the inflated nonsense which some orator or
journalist chooses to utter as reflection OF
the sense OF the people, and are astonishcd
to find that the line of action adopted by the
Executive power Is apparently ut variance
with the Opinions OF the masses governed
IN lact' however, the rough common sense

REVIVED NEwsPAPERs.--Two Richmond

were revived on Saturday last after a sus
pension of ten months; the first by Messrs.
Cowardin and Ellyson, and the latter by H.

seem that they have fair share of advertis-

sickness was solved by the death, with every
symptom of hydrophobia, short time ago,
Of the cow so slightly bitten seven years
ago, and in whose system madness had been
latent ever since.
The case is singular one, and worthy the
attention of scientific men.
