REDEMPTION FUND.-More than half
of the General Fund Scrip redeemed at
this session of the Board os Supervisors
went for so cents on the dollar. Trinity
county is improving and nothing indi-
Gates it more surely than the advance in
the price of General Fund Warrants.

MINES AND MINING
IN CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA.

OWING TO THE DELAYS that have
" attended the printing and distribution
of the reports Of tie Commissioners on
Mtning StattSttcS, these carefully pre-
pared and otherwise useful publications,
have failed to keep the world duly posted
in regard to the condition and progress OF
mining affairs on the Pacific Coast, the
information conveyed through this me-
dium being already many months old by
the time it reaches the eye OF the general
public. With u view to furnishing fresh
intelligence on mining topics, and bring
ing the history OF this great industry down
to the most recent date, the undersigned
will, on or about the first of February
next, issue large octave volume, de-
voted to a consideration of mining mat
ters, as they exist at the present time, in
the States Of California and Nevada. In
the tulfllment OF this purpose the author
will at once visit every important district
and locality in these States that has not
already been lately examined or heard
from through reliable channels, to the
end that the information embodied in this
volume may be recent and authentic.
| The great aim will be to fill the book with
| live practical matter wherefore, only
such properties as have been brought to Il
! productive condition, or as have, through
developments made, established for them
selves good degree of actual or pros
pective merit will receive attention nor
will any notice be bestowed on processes
or appliances other than such as have met
with approval after extended working
tests.
This work will be printed on the best
quality of paper, and be elegantly and
substantially bound, the design being to
impart to it such mechanical excellence
AS will reflect credit upon the book max
ing art in California.

THAT PET BEAR.-We have been re-
preached several times during the past
week with having been "sold" on the
Canon Greek bear story, published in our
last issue. Unbecoming as it may appear,
we are compelled to acknowledge that We
were " sold," and badly sold " at that.
Johnny Driver told us the story and we
published it, not believing there was the
least bit of truth in it, but simply because
it was a good thing. Of course we could
not deny being sold " when we learned
from authoritative sources that the story
was actually true, with the single excep-
ton that it was not pet bear. Next
Messrs. Wilt and Grant will please ao-
cept our thanks for hind-auarter of the
aforesaid bear, which, by the way, was
the bdre-est meat-or rather bone-we
ever saw. Thanks are also due for the
paper in which the quarter was wrapped.
The quarter weighed one pound and a
quarter the paper weighed one pound
and half. IT'S sweet to be remembered.

TOWN AND COUNTY.

The WEAVER CREEK FLUME.-This
Winter is favorable one for this enter
prise and the present indications are that
the tailings will be sluiced out Of the
creek sufficiently to enable the company
to extend the fume another season as
high up as opposite the old "Two Mile
House," AT that poiut the flume will
probably be couple Of feet, or more,
in the bedrock, and the work of extern
sion be light compared with that of for
mer years. An immense volume of hea-
Wy tailings passed through the fume last
week, the creek having worked into its
old channel which has been buried ur
so many years that its exact whereabouts
was forgotten. The tailings from this
old channel poured into the flume SC
thick and fast as to clog it considerably
but when the rush was over it began tc
clear itself rapidly. The great draw
back to the successful working of the
tiumc in former winters was a lack Of
dump" but the plan adopted by Mr.
Davidson in last Summers preparations
of confning the water, after it leaves the
flume within narrow channel, is found
to work admirably. We understand that
the line of spiles will be continued down
the creek some distance further this com
ing Summer, by which the advantage
gained will be maintained.
The bulkhead at the head of the ditch
conveying water to Union Hill, owned
by the company, was undermined by
the high water, and settled so much that
water cannot be raised into the ditch,
and the companies at work under it are
lying idle. 1t will probably be put in
order and the water running again next
week.

or Eve inches is SIMPLE as the most fer
tile soil, and that whish is amply sup
piled with manure. needs to be brought
to the surface in this blowing, and the
scattered seeds of the former crop need
to be started into growth. Then few
borrowings and one thorough rolling
will complete this preliminary work.
The seed bed is now formed. But it is
not as yet where it is wanted.s A sec
ond blowing two inches deeper than the
first turns this down exactly where it
is needed. The sprouted oats or bar
ley or other weeds are buried and dis
posed Of and these are below two inches
of cloddy subsoil, three or more in
depth of the finest, mellowest surface
soil well informing led with manure, if
manure has been applied, as it should
have been. If the seed is sown with a
drill, and three inches deep, it
is deposited in the center
Of this seed bed. Fit is sown broad
cast. the rougher the upper surface the
better chance there is that such grain
will find its way by means Of proper
narrowing into its place in the mellow
subsoil. No roller should follow the
seed, if the advantages of the rough
surface are to be retained. A hard,
smooth surface is one of the worst con-
ditions under which the wheat crop can
60 into the winter.
AS to the blowing of clover sod for
the corn crop in the fall, it will depend
greatly upon the character of the soil,
and the condition of the sod. A heavy
clay should be plowed under any cir.
curnstances in the fall. If there is
good burden of aftermath it may be
plowed down at any time; if the after
math is light, as long as it will grow it
should be left to do so. A light soil
will be injured by fall blowing, and at
the best it can gain nothing.
1t will be made compact by
the rains of winter and
spring, and must be cross-plowed in the
spring, by which the half.rotted sod is
brought to the surface, where it is use
less and wasted. But the clay. when
plowed. remains rough and lumpy, un-
til the spring thaw reduces it to con-
dition of fineness and mellowness that
no spring narrowing or blowing could
produce.

A Solemn Joke.

At Fair Oaks, while standing in a
very tempest Of death, with his sword
uplifted in command, General O. O.
Howard had his right arm carried away.
That night, after Howard had suffered
amputation, and was lying spent and
racked with pain in box car which
was to take him to Washington, Kear-
ney drew near, and, locking in the car,
said, "Howard, old boy, am sorry for
you-sorry with all my heart but,
Howard, have just thought of some
thing. When you get to Washington
buy pair of gloves; send me the right
and keep the left for yourself, and
will divide the cost with you; and
hereafter we will get along more
economically" And, turning away,
Kearney muttered, s'That is better for
him than praying, and then Howard
can beat me at praying anyway

both for wheat and for their next corn
crop. As wheat usually follows oats
or barley, and corn is planted upon a
clover sod, there are variety Of cir.
cumstsnces which effect these questions
differently. Wheat needs . mellow
seed bed. made compact and firm, but
a loose, rough, cloddy surface. The
first secures rapid and vigorous germ
ination of the seed and an even growth.
while the latter secures protection to
the young plants from the storms of
winter. and as the clods crumble down
through the winter or in the early
spring many exposed roots are covered
with soil, and fine mellow
surface is made for the grass
or clover seeds. To pro.
cure this condition of the sell one plow-
ing is not sufficient. The stubble is
covered, too. with shelled grain, every
one of which sprouting among the
young wheat is weed, and is as hurt
full to the crop as any other weed could
be. These cannot be killed by one
blowing. There are other reasons why,
in the majority Of cases, especially upon
Eastern farms, two plowings should be
given for the fall wheat crop; but these
two are sufficient in themselves. The
first blowing needs to be shalloE-four
