STRANGE DEVELOPMENT,

Developments have recently been made,
at the Gwin mine in Lower Rich Guich,
unparalleled in the history Of quartz opera
tions in this State. A strata OF rock has
been discovered in the main shaft at the
denth of four hundred feet, that for rich
ness eclipses anything of which we ever
heard or read. The strangest feature 10
the development is, however, that the rock
recently discovered SO closely resembles the
slate of which the walls of the lead are
composed, that it has eretofore been taken
out and thrown away with other debris
from the mine. The strata mentioned
lies next to the foot wall aud is about a
foot in width and thickness. In color and
formation it so nearly resembles slate that
1t requires a close examination to distin-
guish the two from each other be
inclination of the "streak" differs slightly
from that of the shaft. Commencing at
a point near the surface it crosses the lat
ter, diagonally, leaving the shaft at the
4O0-foot level By "dfifting" short dis
tance on the lead, however, from the 500
foot level, the strata will undoubtedly be
struck again. BY the merest accident in
the world it was discovered that this siu-
gular deposit, instead of being slate, was
simply mass of sulphurets, carrying free
gold in abundance. A portion of the rock
was brought to this town and critically
assayed by DR.. James Hepburn. Two and
one half ounces yielded one hundred and
sixty six grains Of gold or, in other words,
At the rate Of s53. lao per ton The rock
assayed was not selected "specin en-" 1t
was broken from chunk at least foot
square and is considered fair test of the
richness Of the whole strata The proprie
tors of the mine are sanguine that they
will take 100000 out of the recently dis
covered "streak," between the 500 foot
level and the surface. In fact, 81 onld
this strata prove to be one of the perman-
ent component parts of the lead, as it un-
doubtedly will. there is no calculating the
amount of gold that will be taken from it.
IF ore of equal richness has ever before
been found there is no record of it. The
Gwin mine must now certainly be classed
as the most valuable in the State, and
further than chat, in less then year it
will boast more extensive machinery than
any other lead upon this coast. We shalt
await further developments, ia reference
to the newly discovered strata, with impa-
tience.-Calavcra Chronicle.

How to See Down n Well.

1t is not generally known, says the
Lancaster (Pa.) InteLigencer, how easy a
matter it is to explore the bottom of a
well, cistern, or pond of water, by the
use of a common mirror. When the sun
is shining brightly hold a mirror so that
the collected rays of light will fall into
the water. A bright spot will be seen at
the bottom, SO light as to show the
smallest object plainly. By this means
we have examined the bottoms of wells
fifty feet deep, when half full or more of
water. The smallest straw or other OBJ
jects can be perfectly seen from the sur
face. In the same way one can examine
ponds and rivers, if the waters be some
what clear and not agitated by winds or
rapid motion. If well or cistern be
under cover, or shaded by building SO
that the sunlight will not fall near the
opening, it is only necessary to employ
two mirrors, using one to reflect the
light to the opening, and another to re-
fleet 1T down into the water. Light may
be thrown fifty feet or hundred yards
to the precise spot desirable, and then
downward. We have used the mirror
with success to reflect light around the
house to a shaded we'll, and also to carry
it from south window through two
rooms and then into cistern under the
north side of the house. Half dozen
reflections of light may be made, though
each mirror dininishes the brilliancy of
the light. Let any one not familiar
with the method try it, and he will not
only find it useful, but very pleasant
experiment. 1t will perhaps reveal a
mass of sediment at the bottom of the
well that has been little thought of, but
which may have been frightful source
of disease by its decay in the water.

A Vessels Crew Saved by u Dog.

The brig Emma, from Liverpool, was
lost one stormy night last winter, near
st. Johns, Newfoundland. A heavy
swell setting into the night, the vessel
became unmanageable, and finally went
ON shore. The cook, an italian, jumped
overheard, with the intention of saving
the crew by means of rope attached to
his person, but the surf on the shore cost
the noble fellow his life. The captain
and crew succeeded in getting on shore,
the vessel parting shortly afterward.
Here we must record one of those in
stances of sags city peculiar to the
dog, which are much oftener read of
than witnessed 80 near home. A fisher
man, of the name of Mayo, living near
the scene of the wreck, with two sons,
was aroused from sleep by the barking
and scratching of their dog outside the
door. and supposing some person was
lurking aronnd the premises, they got
up, when the movements of the animal
attracted their attention, and they fol-
lowed him to the edge of a precipioe,
some seventy feet high, at the foot of
which the captain and his men had
landed. This circumstance saved their
lives, for the surf was beating so furious
ly around them, that it was found nee
essary to haul them up with ropes.
