FINE SPECIMENs.-Peter Paulsen, OF
the Union Hotel, has shown us somo ex-
c,edingly rich specimens of cement grav-
el, taken from the Hydraulic Hill Mining
Claim of Lorenz & Shoppe. In one piece
perhaps as large ut a mans fist can be
seen innumerable flakes of free gold,
s)me of them of the value, we should
judge, of ten or twelve cents. This CO.
ment is SO hard that it cannot be separated
when first taken from the bank, but when
exposed to the atmosphere for season it
sacks so that most of it can be washed.
One of the pieces shown us by Mr.. Paul
sen was taken from the dump after hav-
ing been run through the fume, and yet
there were several pieces of free gold Wis
ible. If this streak is extensive, Lorenz
& Shoppe undoubtedly have one of the
best claims in California.

THE BABCoCK TEsT.-As announced
in the JoURNAL of last week, the merits
of the portable Babcock Fire Extinguish-
er were again tested on Sunday last
a board cabin, with good shake roof,
was selected as the victim and a large
number of our citizens assembled to see
1t destroyed by the fire-fend. A fire was
set in the inside and allowed to burn
through the roof from the stove-pipe hole
to the comb. When under such head
way, that large majority Of those pres
ent thought it was impossible TO save the
building, the Babcock was put in opera
ton and in about three minutes the fire
was completely extinguished. The build
ing was then fired IN five places-under
the caves on both sides, in the roof and
near the ground the Babcock was re-
filled in one minute, and the fires having
got fair start, they were quickly extin-
gushed. OF course no building ever
caught FIRE in five places at the same time,
but the prompt action of the Babcock
Extinguisher showed conclusively that
it would do more work in the way of put
ting out fire than would ever be required
of it.
The first fire was a fair specimen Of a
fame building burning, the fire having
got under such Roadway that water would
not have extinguished it. 1t was larger
fire than was that at the Empire Hotel
when people got to it, and which burned
fifteen thousand dollars worth of proper
ty. Ha there been portable Babcock
on the premises when that fire originated
the upper end of town would not have
been destroyed. Persons who witnessed
tho burning Of Mr.. Young's residence
two weeks ago, and who have seen the
Babcock work, think that one of them
might have saved that building, and are
certain that it would have kept the fire
back until most of the furniture etc could
have been taken from the house. During
the time occupied in making both tests
last Sunday afternoon, Il strong wind was
blowing, making it more difficult to ex-
tinguish the fire than under ordinary cir
cumstances. The general opinion of all
who witnessed the exhibition is that the
Babcock Fire Extinguisher is a grand
success

VERY DRY.-The month of May, in an
average season, is one of the best sluicing
months of the year in this section. This
year. however, it is different. In many
places in this county miners are al
ready cleaning up and some express
doubts as to having sufficient water for
that purpose. Some claims have done SO
little in the way of stripping bedrock
that they will not clean up at all this sea-
son. Vegetation already needs irrigating
snd it is thought that before the Summer
is over there will be a scarcity of water
for that purpose. AS yet we have all that
is required for drinking purpose, but fol
this very little suffices.

M cdical Blundcrs.

From the period when surgeons ap-
piled their salves to weapons instead Of
wounds to the present wide awake age,
the medical profession has often unwit-
tingly taken side with Disease in its con
flic, with the human system. Even yet,
in spite of the teachings of centuries OF
experience, some physicians believe in
depicting their paticntst, already serious
ly exhausted by sickness, with powerful
evacuants, emetcs, salivants, catharidal
plaslers or the lancet. But, providen-
TALLY, public intelligence is ahead OF
these medical fossils, who belong, of right,
to the era of the Crusades ! That pow
erful ally of nature in its warfare with
the causes Of sickness, Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters' has opened the eyes Of the
masses to the paramount importance of
increasing the vital strength of the body
when menaced by disease. They under
stand that when the atmospheric cond-
tions are adverse to health, it is wise to
reinforce the system with q wholesome
tonic and stimulant, and thus enable it to
combat and repel the depressing influence
of an inclement temperature. II the
COIIstitutiOIlul anu hHiIilul pONcTS WGIt az
ways thus recruited in the presence of
danger, the mortality from consumption,
bronchitis, chronic rheumatism, &C.,
would be much less than it is now. The
causes which produce Group, colds, quin-
| sey, diptheria and catarrh seldom affect a
strong and actice vital system and of all
vitalizing preparations, Hostetter's Bit
ters has proved the most efficient. 1t is
not claimed that this standard tonic is
a specific for lung and throat malades as
it is for dyspepsia, liver complaint and
intermittents, but it is unhestatinly as
serted that it is is the best known safe
guard against the atmospheric elements
| of disease.
