RIFLED MOUNTAIN GUN.-The London
Times, in describing some experiments made
at Shoeburyness with the rifed mountain
gun for the Abyssinian expedition, says:
This mite of gun, which man might
easily carry in his arms, for it weighs only
$50 pounds. sent its pretty little 7pound
projectile 2.944 yards, or more than mile
and two thirds, with charge of Coz. of
powder and an elevation of 80 degrees. Such
long range work is not, however, likely to be
required of it, but rather shrapnel practice at
ranges up to 100 yards or less. AT 500,
$50 and $40 yards, more than half the bull
lets in the shrapnel she'll struck a target
representing a column of men. With !oz.
powder and the same elevation the projectile
ranged AIS yards.

Ircrx oUARrz MrNrR.-About the time of

LUCKY QUARTZ MINER.-Aboutt the time of
the discovery of quartz on Kellinger Hill,
Pittsburg district, five years ago, young
German. named Seaman, discovered very
rich ledge of decomposed gold bearing quartz
on a gulch near the head waters of North
Cow Creek, several miles above Woodman' S
ranch. The quartz was so much decomposed
that Seaman found no trouble in separating
.he gold by the ordinary sluicing process,
and with rig of that character he set to
work with the first heavy rain of the season,
and was surprised and almost astounded at
the richness of his claim. He, however,
kept his good fortune to himself, and at the
end of two years sold out his claim for six
hundred dollars and left on a visit to bis
parents in Germany, carrying with him
twelve thousand dollars, every cent of which
came out of the claim referred to. Returning
from Germany he went to Montana, and soon
struck a quartz ledge which he disposed of
for eight thousand dollars. and started to take
a second look at old Shasta county, where
his good luck first began. lie arrived here
last week, greeted his old acquaintance and
disappeared, and for aught we know is work
ing another rich quartz claim within cannon
shot of the town.

One of the most frightful accidents ever
read of is that of little girl at Little Falls.
When struck by the engine of the emigrant
train, she was knocked to the side of the
track. but in endeavoring to rise, threw her
right.foo on the track, and it was instantly
severed from the limb. Frantic with pain,
the little one tried to recover her severed foot
from between the wheels, but the attempt
was only attended by the loss of her left
hand, which was so badly smashed as to
render amputation necessary. 1t was
thought she could not long survive.

The KLoTz MILL-This mill, situated
on Mill Seat Greek, one eff the tributaries of
Battle Creek, forty-fve miles from Shasta,
and at the western base of Lassen's Butte. is
undoubtedly the most complete and extensive
lumber manufacturing establishment in Nor.
thern California. This mill is supplied with
two large circular saws, capable of cutting
through logs of immense size, and are driven
with velocity truly surprising. Attached
to the mill is planning and lathing machine,
which admirably performs the operation of
planning lumber and manufacturing lath. A
novel feature of the mill is fume into
which the slabs and debris are thrown, and
carried long distance by the water and
dumped over steep precipice. From this
mill large quantities of building and fencing
material is hauled to the Sacramento river,
and RATED down to Red Bluff Tehama, Chi
co, Colusa, Sacramento and other points. In
addition to other improvements, Mr. Klotz
has lately built a substantial bridge across
the North Fork of Battle Greek, which gives
him access to an immense forest of splendid
pine timber. This bridge is about three
hundred feet long, and nearly one hundred
feet in height The difficulties which Mr..
Klotz has met and overcome in the way Of
procuring new and improved machinery,
building roads, fighting Indians, etc., stamps
him as man of extraordinary enterprise
and courage. Like most men of this charac-
ter, Mr.. Klotz is the very soul of hospitality,
ever ready to extend a cordial welcome to
the wayfarer

EVEN TO THE FOURTH GENERATION AT a
