GOLD IN CALIFoRNIA Not ExHAUsTED.-
For some years the public have been
gradually familiarizcd with the idea
that the gold yield of California was
likely to become less and less, so that
in a generation or so the ore would be
exhausted. The splendid productive
ness of California III other things be-
sides the precious metals was, fairly
enough, counted upon * a compensa-
ton for this. But ii the gold is really
going to give out" there are few signs
of it at present. So far, at least, as the
deposits Of the San Francisco Branch
Mint are an evidence, the yield is actu-
ally and largely increasing. These de-
posts for the first ght inonths,oi 1870
have been OF gold, 1921 ounces,
against 532, $50 ounces in 1865 and 1885,,
OSl ounces in 1867. The silver deposits
in the same time have been 209, l04
ounces, against 99,G61 ounces for last
year. This is inverting the usual eXpe-
rience Of auriferous districts in favor Of
State which must certainly, in mate
rial prospects, be considered the most
fortunate in the world. a.
THE Memphis Appeal yoliches for this
" It was discovered during the week
that the venerable black cat which has
held possession OF the Overton sta bles
since the building was put up, has for a
companion patrlarchal gray rat. They
hunt in couples in the night, and sue
cessfully make war ON all sorts OF var
mints.' 1t appears that about ten years
ago the cat had n tremendous fight
about three o'clock OF a summers morn
ing, with powerful rat, and Tom came
forth wOrsted, played out, utterly licked
and ores t-tallen. In the course of
week, however, lie made up terms with
the rat, signed treaty of peace, often
sive and defensive, and both took sew
cral whifis from the calumet, practice
which the rat had been taught by the
Chickasaws long before Tom came along
here from North Carolina. Since then
they have been fast friends"
