other heavy castings; in fact the pile OF
machinery is almost as large as the
foundry itself. The time is not far dis
tan, when all the machinery for our mines
will be built in our State. The great
drawback being the amount paid for
freight on coal. Yet it is scarcely proba-
BILE that a country that abounds with all
other minerals will certainly not be de-
Hcient in this article, especially when such
good indications exist in all parts OF the
State. There is no doubt but there is an
abundance OF both coal and iron in u
mountains, which will some day be as
valuable and a source Of as great wealth
as GU gold and silver mines. Coal was
not thought to exist in the mountains Of
California, and was not discovered until
the State was ten years old but at the
present time a large mount Of fair coal is
taken from the coal mines Of Mt. Diablo.
There is not, perhaps, any portion Of the
United States where there is a wider field
for iron manufacturing than in our own
little Silver State. aud whenever there is a
demand for anything Of the kind, there
will be persons who will embark in the
enterprise. A few years ago we had but
one small foundry in the State; now we
have within three miles Of Gold Hill 10
less than four good foundries.
PzrALuMA MILL.-Yesterday afternoon
we were down At the Petaluma mill. We
found that instead of it being u repair that
this mill is undergoing. it is being entirely
rebuilt, and when completed il will be
among the best mills IN the canon. The
boilers are in place, and the brick work is
laid up in good order the engine and bat
teries are being pu, in place as rapidly as
possible. The mill will be in running
order in about six weeks, we should judge,
by the amour, Of work that is to be done
vet. The mill house is all up and rooted
in, but the inside work in one Of our sill
YER mills is almost as extensive as a hrst-
class Touring mill, and consequently it
takes more time to put up the inside work
than it does the outside or shell.
ANOTHER n GoSE.-Last evenings
Union contained the valedicsory Of u
brother reporter, Bob Lowery. Bob has
given up the pencil and will embark. no
doubt, in somsthing more lucrative. Some
say he has retired on the money he has
laid up while in the Local business. Il
seems hardly possible that we will never
again stand with Bob At one elbow and
All q, the other and 90 through a free

bu, two Of the old ones left, and they are
too baahful TO 60 alone TO a lunch table, or
drink, unless asked. However, Bob. we
wish you luck. wherever your lot may be
cast.
NIKE McCLusxY.-Everybody knows
Mike, and not one who does know him
can say bu, what he keeps constantly on
hand the bes, liquors, wines and cigars
that the market affords. Besides all these
there 10 a little side-room where all the
late fles Of papers are to be found; q good
stove. which is always kept warm; an
abundance Of cushioned chairs, and every
thing that is calculated to give comfort
and ease. Remember the place-rheater
