abandoned in this county, and as the de-
velopment of quartz mines will be slow.
people who calculate to remain here. should
begin to turn their attention to other pur-
suits. There are several occupations which
| think could be engaged in here to good
advantage--such as planting mulberry
trees, raising silk, cultivating the soft
she'll almond, English walnut, and the
raisin grape. Take Clear Creek and Cot
tonwood sections of the county, and they
are all easily irrigated and well adapted to
the culture of mulberry, grapes, and diff
ferent varieties of nuts. In moist lands

free from long spells of damp and cloudy
weather in the summer and fall, and not
subject to those severe thunder shocks
which destroy so may silk worms in some
other countries. Here the leaf of the null
berry is sufficiently matured to feed to
worms by the lst of May and continues sue
culent until November, during which time
four crops of worms can be"raised There
is money to be made by silk culture in this
country, and no mistake, and there is no
doubt but that the production of raisins,
almonds, English walnuts, and other nuts
can be made higly profitable also. I hope
these suggestions may result in inducing
many of our people to engage in some one
or all Of these new avenues to wealth and
independence. B.

JUST So.-The Sacramento Reporter
wants law passed compelling the telegraph
companies to furnish it with dispatches at
its cwn price, At present any paper pos
sessing enterprise and respectable capital
can obtain the dispatches without trouble
by paying fair price for them. If the
Reporter could only secure the exclusive
right to publish the Supreme Court de-
cisions, Legislative proceeding, telegraphic
dispatches, and then have all the expenses
of its publication paid by the State or out
siders, its economical and modest pro-
prietors would be in clover

Quartz on Mad Ok Greek.

Mad Ok Creek, in this county, Is noted
for the numerous rich pockets" Of gold
which hsye been found in its bed and
banks. To strike pocket" or "crevice'
containing several ounces OF gold was quite
a common occurrence on that stream when
the digeings were first worked. And al
though the numerous quartz lodges which
crop out at intervals along the creek has
long been considered the source form which
these rich deposits of gold originally
came, very little prospecting has ever been
done on any OF these promising lodes. But
we understand that there is now an enter
prise under way which may result in test
ing the value of one or moreof these ledges.
Mr.. Peck ham, a veteran miner, has COM
menced the erection of four stamp pros
pecting mill on the creek, and intends to
complete it as soon as the circumstances
under which he is compelled to labor will
permit The mill viii be run by water
power, and when completed will be sufii-
cient to test the question as to whether
the Mad Ok lodges can be proftably work
ed or not We certainly wish MIR. Peck
ham, aud all other miners engaged in sim
liar enterprises, the utmost success, as we
believe such endeavors are destined to lead
to the development and profitable working
of many rich quartz mines in this county.

To THE PATRONS OF OUR SCHOOLS -
Schools for this school year will be
formally closed on the Goth day of May.
In view of the prospect of an addition
to our school building, it becomes nee
essary for the Supt. to make suitable
classification Of the pupils in atten-
dance so that the wants of the schools
may be fully met. 1t is very labori
ous, as we'll as an unpleasant task to at
tempt a classification at the commence
ment of school. when scholars are in
the habit of forcing themselves into de-
partments in which their grade would
in no wise place them, and thus force
upon the Superintendent the painful
duty Of placing them in a lower grade
greatly to the displeasure of the pupil
and parent. In order to avoid this un-
pleasant duty and to pr51note the high
est good of the school. 1 shall take
special pains to become personally ac-
quaintedl with the requirements of
every pupil and by frequent eXamina-
tions during the remainder of the term
thoroughly grade the entire school. 4
most earnestly solicit the interest Of
parents in this matter. You will con-
fer great favor by sending your chill
dren regularly SO that they may be
present at all examinations. The more
formal examination will be held du-
ring the last week of the school, and
we earnestly hope that parents and
| friends will honor us with their pres
| lence at these examinations. A suitable
programmeawill be arranged for each
department so as to make the exercises
| pleasant. At Beerys' Hall on Friday
evening the regular commencement
exercises will be held. All are invited
to attend. Programmes will appear in
proper time. Respectfully,

Notice to P0stndsters It is the
duty of every Postmaster to return to
the publishers, all papers which are
not taken from the office by the parties
to whom they are addressed. Any fail
ure to do this is a neglect Of duty. We
supposed that every Postmaster in this
county was aware of the above fact,
but have been informed that copies
of the REPUBLICAN,, which have been
regularly sent to subscribers at Ty-
mochtee, have not been taken out by
them for more than one year, and yet
the Postmaster never notified us of
the fact. Honest men; when they
change their place of residence, always
settle for their paper before doing so,
but there are many who allow them
selves=to become indebted for their
paper for one. or more years, then take
their depai ture for parts unknown.
We should shed no tears for such black
legs, if they should finally locate
where no paper can be published on
account of the temperature.
