BIERsTADT'S NEW PICTURE.
Mr.. Townloy writes as follows in the

Mr.. Townley writes as follows In the
last number of Scri6ner's Monthly:
Last Summer Mr.. Bierstadt made
another trip West, and made studies
for another largo painting, for which
he had received q commission from G.
P. Huntington, Vice President OF the
Central Pacific Railroad. The scene
is on the route of the road, and the
point Of view Is near the place where,
several years ago, a party Of emlgrants
persisted within a short distance of the
civilization they were seeking, but Of
tho proximity OF which they did not
know. The rocky summit from which
the view 10 taken Is high, and thus a
vast extent Of mountain, lake and val
ley Is embraced. The line Of the rail-
road Is beheld-a mere thread-where
1t enters the scene, some thirty miles
of, and the eye follows 1t, coming
nearer still, along the perllous path cut
for 1t in the trap and granite sides Of
the great hills which tower above 1t.
In tile middle distance Is Bonner Lake,
the central point Of interest, and be-
yond 1t range after range Of hills until
the horizon meets them. The fore
ground 10 to suggest the unbroken will
derness Of the place, with Its great
sketches Of Jagged pine, the outcrop-
ping rock, their bald foreheads reach
Ing to the sky, and the marvellous de-
tail Of vegetable life characteristic Of
the region. 10 this end tho artist has
made many studies Of the lesser forms
which will admit of realization. The
painting will DO entitled "Sunrlse on
the Sierras," the sun being seen just
above the distant horizon, his glorles
Of gold and crimson repeated In the
waters Of Lake Bonner. 10 make his
studies In color for this picture, Bier
stadt rose morning after morning at
o'clock. until he had secured the de-
sired effect Of light and shade and color.

rHr E-ARrHauAxE LOCALITY.

Lone Pine, the locality where tho
recent heavy earthquake in Inyo coun-
ty vas most severely felt, Is situated
about three hundred and fifty miles
south of here, and some twenty miles
south from independence, In Owens
River Valley. 1t is situated in an eli-
gible locality at the foot Of the Sierra
Nevada range, and Ia the trading
place Of Lone Pine Mining District,
otherwise known a. Cerro Gordo, the
town Of which name lies twenty-five
miles distant to the southeast. Lone
Pine is a small town, the houses being
Of wood, brick and adobe, principally
the latter, and the population numbers
not far from 500. It contained a ho-
tel, three or four stores, two brewer
les. two livery stables, saloons, etc.
Within the mining district, which Is
fifty miles in length by six in width,
along the western slope of the Sierra,
are numerous gold and silver bearing
lodes, reputed to be very rich. Water
as we'll as timber is very scarce, and
the country generally not very invit-
Ing in appearance, the only tillable
land being a narrow strip Immediately
along Owens river. Most Of the
houses in the town of Lone Pine, being
built OF adobes or sun-dried bricks,
they were easily and completely
shaken down. Over thirty lives are
reported Lost, and a very large num-
Der of persons injured. The San Fran
cisco Bulletin, In an editorial on the
subject, says:
Previous to the catastrophe at Lone
Pine, there had been no earthquake In
California attended by loss Of life since
the great shock Of 1872, which destroy
ed the Mission of San Juan Capistrano,
in Los Angeles county, and the Mis-
sion of Purissima, in Santa Barbara
county, which are about 17O miles
and both near the coast. These Missions
were built OF adobes, the churches be-
ing pretty large and heavy, but not
very strong structures. The shock oc-
Cured on a Sunday In September, and
and the first shake Frustrated tho church
Mt San Juan, burying in Its ruins many
who were there worshipping at the
time, the number Of lives lost being
variously stated at 80 to d. A number
Of lives were also lost at the Purissima
Mission. Two or three deaths resulted
from the earthquake Of October, 1858,
at San Leandro and San Francisco, but
they were caused by the falling OF
brick parapets upon persons passing In
the street. There Is no eason to sup
pose that the shock Of 1919 was more
severe than that Of 1858. The build
ings Of that time were not capable Of
much resistance, yet had the shock oc-
CURED at any other time than Sunday,
when people were assembled In church,
no lives would probably have been lost.

APRIL F0elIHa.

From the s. F. Chronicle Of Wednesday,
Monday being All-Fools' Day, num-
berless pranks and snares and delu-
sions were practiced on unsuspecting
citizens by wagglsh idlers. In the af-
ternoon the figure Of a man was seen
to leap from the top Of the ALEXANDRIA
building and fall to tho sidewalk, with
a sickening thud. The b~y-standers
rushed paralyzed to tho spot, but were
Immensely disgnsted OIL discovering
that 1t vas a dummy and that they
had been badly sold. An old gentle
man was much astonished In walking
along Montgomery street to find him
self amusing every group he passed.
The poor innocent bore a label OH his
coat-tail marked "Three for g." Sew
eral saloon keepers enjoyed themselves
by setting out a tempting array Of
doughnuts, which, "like the Dead
Sea fruits, that tempts the eye, but
turn to ashes on the lip" we're fraught
with modification to al who heedlessly
partook. They were filled with cot
ton and Cayenne pepper.

WINNING TUNNELS.

As the placer gold diggings Of the
coast become exhausted, the necessity
for conducting mining operations BY
means Of the tunnel and drift become
more apparent. The hills and noun
tains In the gravel ranges are we'll
known to abound with gold, which can
only be reached by this mode of work
ing. In Nevada, Yuba, Placer, Ell
Dorado, Trinity and several other
counties, the best paying claims are
required to be reached In this manner,
whether the gold be free or In quartz.
But few persons In mining pursuits
have the courage or the means to I'M
dertako such enterprises. The lengthy
tunnel can only bs run by a combina-
tlon Of capital ; and even then 1t often
requires the patient toll of years before
the paying streak Is reached, which q
shaft or surface indications have told
the experienced miner almost certain
" lies concealed in the bowels Of the
earth. 1t Is for this reason that agri-
culture has so far outstripped the mill
Ing interest. The first named occupa-
ton Is relatively expensive-the sec
ond sometimes demands tens Of thou
sands of dollars to render 1t at all
profitable. It Is not to be wondered
at, then, that u bullion returns have
fallen off greatly In the last few years,
nor that so many efforts have been
made to enlist foreign capital In the
development of our vast mineral re-
sources. The appeals to moneyed
mon abroad have been attended with a
great deal Of success Of late-so much,
In fact, as to encourage the belief that
a new interest has been awakened,
In California, by sympathy, to the adj
vantage of tunnel and drift mining.
We hear Of two or three extensive
projects Of this kind on foot In Nevada
county. There has been much success
In such mining, where the work was
commenced with a judiclous knowl-
edge Of the ground to be pierced be-
fore the enterprise was undertaken.
Very recently two or three grand tun-
neling projects have been set on foot
there. Most of the hills in the imme-
diate vicinity of Nevada City are al
ready honey-combed. The amount of
gold that has been taken out, II stated
In aggregate figures, would appear to
be almost fabulous; and 1t Is the good
fortune which has attended the patient
toll Of the past, that gives encour-
agement for the future. II we could
only awaken a deeper interest In this
kind Of mining, we feel satisfied that
it would not only open a wide field for
the employment Of the industrious Ia
boring classes, but realize extensive
profits to those who furnished the cap
itsl to develop the gold of deep dig
gings. Yet there must be discretion
In purchasing the ~so-called gravel
claims. as money will be lost as read
ilY as In quartz claims.-S. F. Cal.

CARPET afterward discovered that this
concession involved the entire refur-
nishing Of the house, as the furniture
already In It was found to be Alto
pether too old-fashioned to correspond
with the splsndor ofthe newly purchas-
ed article. The Hoosac tunnel, which
was long considered an elephant Of
large proportions, and which now be-
gins to look as If 1t would prove 4 sue
cessful undertaking, was projected for
the purpose of affording facilities for
the construction Of q direct line of
railroad from Boston to Troy. Now
that 1t Is nearing completion, PROPOSE
tions have been made to the State to
sell the tunnel to private corporations;
but the impression seems to be general
In Massachusetts, that no offers of this
character should be entertained. The
representatives Of the various roads
that must form a through line to Troy
have been recently In consultation In
Boston with the State authorities, and
MS 4 result Of their deliberations 1t Is
said that these corporations have de-
termlned that o or later they
must consolidate, so that the entire
road may be under one management
and that 1t Is agreed on all sides that
in order to promote the highest effi-
cheney of tho line the State must be-
como a joint owner Of the whole,
rather than the sole owner Of the tun-
mel, which Is the key to the line. The
Boston Adrertiser says that this plan
virtually secures the State against the
success Of any efforts to obtain the
control of the line for any interest at
variance with that Of Massachusetts,,
and that some far-seeing men expect
before many years to see a route by
way Of the tunnel to Chicago shorter
than any already constructed, and
wholly independent Of the New York
Central. SO 1t appears that the con-
struction Of the Hoosac tunnel Is likely
to result in leading the State of Massa-
chusetts through that excavation Into
extensive fields Of railroad operations.
