Seek and You Shall Find.

From present appearances the smelt-
ing of ores will be entered upon in this
vicinity quite extensively the coming
Summer, and one important item in the
bill of expenses necessarily and coutin-
ually incurred in carrying on works Of
this kind is the fre-proof material used
for lining furnaces. For o small five or
eight ton blast furnace the cost, each
month, for friedrich, if obtained at San
Francisco, would be from two to four
hundred dollars, most Of which may be
saved to the proprietors Of the furnace,
and all to the people Of the county, If we
can prove the existence Of hre-proof ma
terial in our midst. We noticed, last
Summer, the discovery off vein Of soft
rock up Gorski Canon, by Mr.. JIG. Ran
SON., which, so far as FIRE could test it,
was all right. Recently Mr.. N. Graft,
who understands this sort of thing prac-
tically as well as theoretically, tested
the same rock, found it to stand heat
well and hopes it may stand the corrosive
effect of the mineral and chemical sub
stances which usually provo so d~estruc-
tive to furnace Innings, but as no sufh-
Gent trial in this respect can be had
except by the regular smelling opera
ton, he suggests that various clays and
stones be tried, and a selection made
| from all. We would urge upon all con-
cerned the propriety Of keeping their
| eve. open when travelling about and Of
bringing in for the inspection Of Mr..
Graft any and all substances which they
may think at all likely to prove indie
| structable. The best shape to find the
material in is a soft, but firm rock,
which may be easily qusrried and cut
into blocks for use; the next best is a
clay which may be made into bricks
without artificial crushing or too much
mixing. If neither Of these are found
handy, bricks may be made by crushing
and mixing two or more substances,
neither of which would alone be Of any
service. The subject is an important
one, aud as all may attend to it while
about their daily ayocations, we repeat
the request to seek that ye may find
Alpine Miner.

A CrRIosIrY.-The Woodbridge Mes
,enger Of Saturday last has the follow
ing: IA. c. Meeker presented US with
a curiosity in the shape Of q bird, which
is nearly white, and Of the species COM
monty known as the black bird. The
head, besk, feet, and the whole forma-
ton are of those characteristic of the
common black birds of the fields, save
the feathers, the greater part Of which
are white, i~nterspersed with those Of a
light brown color. The bird was shot
by Mr.. Meeker, on his farm, a few miles
from this place, from q drove Of black
birds. We have heard Of white deer,
white quails, and even once saw a white
wild buffalo on the plains, but a white
black-bird beats US, and we cannot &C
count for it under any other hypothesis
ave that the whole black creation is
.rying to turn white.

tn. Paeise Railroad and Chinese LsAsr.

The Pacific Railroad and Chinese Laher.
The papers of San Francisco indulge
in considerable Cheap John" twaddle
upon the disgraceful fact that the Gen.
trail Pacific Railroad directors employ a
vast amount of Coolie labor. They say,
in effect, that had the company not en-
ployed the Chinese the road could never
have been put through, because all their
efforts to procure white laborers proved
unayailing. Such trash as this is in
tended as a sufficient apology for the
action of the company, but it imposes
on nobody. They failed to procure
white laborers in sufficient quantity
from the fact that our people refused to
work at the starvation rates accepted
by the Chinese. This alone is the rea-
son, and the Directors of a great nation
al American enterprise concede the
shameful meanness Of their action, when
they employ their organs to publish ex-
cuses to the world which are not based
on truth. Indeed, it would scarcely
sound well for q Company which has
been the pet of Congress and the recip-
lent Of the ~stupendous bounty of the
Nation, to explain their conduct, in en-
couraging the labor Of Asiatic serfs to
the exclusion Of that of American citi-
zens, on the principles which really &C
tuated them. The rspscious desire to
appropriate to themselves the important
difference between the cost of white and
Chinese labor was the underlying mo-
tive. What care they about the suffer-
ings of our working classes, provided
wealth flows into their Golfers?
Why should they reflect the patriot
ism of the country in the matter oflsbor
if they can make money by the employ
ment Of a cheap and degraded class upon
their road2 Congress did not act mig
gardly with them; it gave them their
franchise and ceded them immense
tracts of valuable lands on the SUPPOSE
ton that the roads would be built by
white labor; it encouraged them more
than literally with its credit, and rem
dered the enterprise one of national i'm
portance by its fostering care. All
these gifts and concessions were made
upon estimates Of the cost Of white Ia
Dor. Do the psrroty Coolie w~orshippers
who swing pens for the turgid dailies in
this city, suppose that all this liberal
patronage could have been secured had
it been forsseen that the company wonld
have carried out its work by turning it.
self into a Coolie immigration society?
Could the magnificent national dona-
tions which the company now possess
have been obtained, had the country for
a moment supposed that American Ia
Dor would have been excluded from the
great work of the Pacific Railroad? Let
the stubborn Jealousy with which Con-
gresss has ever since the passage Of the
Bill, steadily refused to alter the pro-
vision forbidding the use Of other h
American iron on the tracks, answer.
The country has not acted cheaply with
the company; but the company has act
ed most d~espicsbly towards the class
who compose the great arm and sinew
from which our greatness and prosper
ity as q nation are derived. Let US
hear no more journalistic inanity and
untruth on this subject. It palls.-S.
