prove beneficial have fed my young
chickens with this tea mixed in the bran
or meal and they have escaped gapes.
The AMERICAN Stock Journal says:
1t has been noticed by US that chickens
Matched very early or yeTyIlaie in the sea-
son are not liable TO the gapes, while OH
ers Matched ON the same farm an May,
June or July, perish from thus cause"
This leads us 10 believe that the disease Is
caused by the eggs of some parasite insect
or moth. that fiourishes in the months of
MAY. June or July, and then passes away
for ,h,, season. Il thislIypothesis be cor
rect and we have sufficient data to induce
ma 10 believe that it is SO, then the way to
nrevent the disease is to have the chick
ems to be Matched in March or early in
Anril. 80 that they become strong enough
TO resist the young parasite at its season
of the year. This can readily be done
by those who furnish their poultry COM
Portable winter quarters. Chickens
Matched thus early will commence laying
in December, and if furnished with a
house sufficiently warm, win have a
brood of chickens by the first of
April. These chickens will be ready for
market in july when the best prices are
obtained. Those who do not have suf-
ficiently warm winter quarters for their
poultry, or who feel too little interest in
the matter to erect them, mad better
manage their brood hens so as to have
their chicks Matched about the last of Au-
gust or early in September and thus es-
cape the grapes. Late Matched chicks,
however, do not grow so large as those
Matched in early spring.

Make a saturated solution of alum G.

ton cloth in the solution aud apply imme,
diately on the burn. As soon as it be-
comes hot or dry, replace it by another,
and continue doing SO as often as the
cloth dries, which at first viii be every
few minutes. The pain will Immediately
cease, and after twenty -four hours OF
this treatment the burn will be healed,
especially if commenced before blisterI
are formed. The astringent and drying

THE STATE CORNER GOVERNMENT
SURvEY.-The Su-anville Sage Brush of
the 9th inst says:
Mr.. Partridge and T. ii. Ward returned
on Thursday oflast week from Surprise Val
ley, where they had been to establish by
measurement the State corner, between
California, Oregon and Nevada The cor
ner had been once established by observa-
tions, and once also by measurement The
measurement having been accomplished in
times when Lo was on the war path. the
exact location of the corner as then estab-
lished has been rather uncertain, rumor
putting it some four miles west of the point
established by observation This point was
found by accurate measurement to be very
nearly correct.
A surveying party, consisting of j. G.
Partridge, A. A. Smith, T. H Ward, Sam.

Herrick, left town last Monday for Hot

THE MINING INTEREsT-The progress
being made in quartz operations is of the
:: ost substantial and gratifying character
From Nevada AID Placer counties the late
reports are particularly encouraging. but
throughout the whole mining region this
important interest is being prosecuted with
inc! eased energy. Not only this, but the
business is conducted on safer basis than
in former years Practical, common sense
men have taken the places of inexperienc-
ed enthusiasts, whose theoretical ideas
and extravagant habits piled up appalling
assessments ruined Stockholders and blast
ed the prospects of the best mines. This
change is rapidly producing healthier
state of things. The cost of mining and
milling is greatly reduced the work is bet
ter done, and the returns are of substantial
character. Consequently, confidence in
this class of mining is being restored, and
capitalists are again investing literally.
One feature of the change that has taken
place, which is particularly noticeable, is
that men who have made their money in
the mines now generally invest it in home
enterprises. They do not rush off to San
Francisco and plunge iuto real estate specu-
lations as was formerly the case, thus im-
roverishing the terror for the benefit Of
the metropolis. From these facts. we think
there is good cause TO be gratifed over the
prospects OF the quartz miners.

Discovery.

Some time during the present season, a
party Of prnspectors, while on their way to
the new mine in the northern part of this
county accidentally came upon valley or
series # valleys some twenty-five miles
north of Eagle Lake, which they describ-
ed as possessing many facilities for exten-
sive stock raising, and climate and soil
we'll adapted to the various agri :ulturai
pursuits Their reports induced some of
our people to visit these valleys, and they
found them Insufficient consequence to war
rant them in selecting places there for per-
manent homes. They, accordingly, some
TWO weeks since, took with them survey
or and proceeded to lay out and secure
their claims under the Pre- Emption Act.
These valleys lie around the head of what
has been called Horse Greek, and embrace
an area of not less than 10000 acres of
the very richest class of valley land The
mountains which surround them are well
tlmbered with pine, cedar and fir, and
abound wi b large game of almost every
de cription known to this coast and while
the mountains offer these to sporting men,
the valleys also have their supply of prairie
chickens and quails, and the creek has
myriads of mountain trout. We know of
no place in the State which holds out great
er inducements to settlers than this
There is sufficient lands to furnish homes
for at least fifty families, and the hills i'm
mediately to the eastward will furnish feed
for innnmerable herds of cattle Their al
titude is probably considerable less than
that of Big Valley which lies to the north
of them, where the cereals are successful
ly grown and fruit promises well. With
this accession to the tllable land OF our
county, taken in connection with the fact
that We have the finest mountain ranges in
the world, We may reasonably expect not
many years hence to rank among the rich
est COW counties in the State.
The attention of stock men has been for
several years attracted 10 our mountain
valleys for summer ranges but they have
been heretofore obliged to return to our
lower country for winter quarters The
discovery of these valleys will obviate this
difficulty as there will generally be but lit
tie risk in wintering stock without hay
Let all those who are desirous of obtaining
fine ranches where stock can be raised with
little or no expense, have no fears in com
ing to Lassen, for We have plenty of room
and feed for hundreds of thousands Of cat
tie, and ready market for all our beef at
large prices, and at our own doors-Sage

Too Poor TO TAKE A PAPPR.-The
Antioch Ledger relate the following,
which is not the only case that might be
put on record, by any means:
We met one of these objects OF pity last
week. He was actually too poor to take
paper; times we're too hard; hadn't time
to read, etc. We really pititd this man
be looked so poor, and mean, and NANCY
generally, that we supposed him to be one
of Gods forgotten ones, dropped into the
world without the means of getting live
lihood or the ability ia feed himself. But
latter in the day we saw him hilariously
drunk, treating crowd, each "round"
costing him dollar and a half. Its
strange fact. Men will refuse to take
their home paper on tie plea tia: 'times
are too hard" ard yet they will hang
themselves by the chin to a bar, and "gin
up" at an expense of four or five dollars.
They cant spend five dollars year for
paper, but can invest fve-hundred for
whiskey. Such men are poor-and poor
citizens too. If the county we're filed
with such, it would be bankrupt in a year
