down from the groupings OF the Com
stock; that the mouth Of the canyon
had In times past been much higher
than it Is at present, and that, having
been cut out and gradually worn
deeper, and perhaps having changed
its course considerably. 1t had left de-
posted rich boulders Of the float now
found on either side. Others think
different. and that the ore comes from
a blind ledge covered up by the debris
from the hills. If such Is the case we
sincerely hope that some OF the present
p~rospectors may succeed In finding 1t.
Coon WoRK.-At the trial Of No.
SIS new steamer, day before yesterday,
at Virginia. they took water at the
| cistern OH North B street, ear Mill
street, and through 1000 feet Of hose,
with all inch and a quarter nozzle.
threw q fine stream the distance Of two
hundred and forty-one feet. Afterward
they threw q splendid stream clear
over the roofs OF the houses from b
street to the middle Of E street. With
a little more power they might station
their machine in the middle Of the
city and drown out any ordinary fire
which might occur In any portion OF
the city without running to 1t. They
can get up steam and have the machine
working in seven minutes, starting
with cold water at that. BY keeping
the water always little warm they
calculate that they can get up steam
in four minutes. The machine, with
water, wood and everything In full
working order, weighs $50 pounds.
FINE PIcruRE.-Sutterley, the fam
Gus old Photographic chief at Virginia,
has presented US with q large picture
of the National Guard of that city.
They are represented standing In the
open field, In full battle array, to
the number Of forty, with the digni-
| fed, soldierly form Of General Batter
man In the front centre, and the
| National Guard Brass Band on
the right hand. The foreground.
so to speak, Is a lake, while away In
the e rise the snow.capped noun
tains of the Sierra Nevada, with the
white tents of the company's camping
ground at their base. The surround.
ings are very artistically rendered, and
the likeness of each member OF the
company distinct and easily recog-
nized. Altogether it forms a very neat
and attractive picture, especially waltz
able to each member OF the company,
and highly creditable to the artist.
CoAI.-A considerable amount CT
prospecting is being done for coal at
the present time. We saw some crop
pings-a sort Of bituminous shale.in
Virginia a day oil two since, which
burned very we'll In a common coal
stove. The locality In which the crop
pings occur Is not made known. as tile
DISCOVERIES desire to get everything
ship-shape as regards their title before
allowing outsiders to waltz about over
their domain. A working capital OF
over 1000 has been subscribed and
paid in. to be used for prospecting pur-
poses.
