. The Mines Of San Bernardino.

The following interesting facts relat-
ing to the mines Of the mountain
ranges of San Bernardino and the
northern portion of San Diego county,
are published in the San Bernardino
Guardian of Saturday last: "The en-
tire San Bernardino mines are metalif-
erous. The vast. and sterile belt of
country, extending from the Sierra, or
San Bernardino range to the Colorado,
is more or less treasure bed, and con-
tains inexhaustible deposits of silver,
lead, gold and copper. Mines of ex-
traordinary richness are already being
worked with most gratifying success,
from the Twenty-Five Palms to Hol-
combe valley. At Holcombe valley,
already famous for its gold mines both
quartz and placer, valuable discoveries
are being made daily. Sam Curtis,
Baird, Col. Wilson and others, have
lately been investing largely in these
recent discoveries. The Twenty-nine
Palms are also pronounced by quartz
experts, such as Joggles" Wright, of
Nevada fame, to be very rich; in fact,
Mr.. Wright pronounced that camp to
be one of the richest on the coast. In
the San Jacinto range divided from
the San Bernardino by the famous
San Gorgonio Pass very rich gold and
silver quartz mines havejust been dis
covered; while the latest "strike !" of
all, on the Yucipa, promises to be the
most important. On the Antagonist,
in the extreme northern part of the
county, silver, lead and gold mines
have already been worked. The Clark
District mines are already famous; so
are those of the Ivanpah, New York
and Ord Districts. The Temescal tin
mines have a worldwide reputation;
they are the richest on the continent.
Very rich deposits of tin have also
been found at point in the prOlOnga-
ton of the Temescal range, about
twelve miles south of the town of San
Bernardino. Deep and extensive de-
posits of placer gold exist at Lytle
Creek, and have been worked. In the
portion of the county embraced in the,
Colorado desert, borax, zinc, plum
bago, sulphur, soda and other minerals
are known to exist in large quantities.
Coal is said to have been found in the
southern portion of the county; and an
important discovery of quicksilver is
Just reported from Temescal. We do
not exaggerate when We say that our
county is a vast treasure bed, only
awaiting the sesame touch of capital
and skill to yield up its inexhaustible
deposits of mineral wealth"

Information for Settlers.

Within the boundaries of the State
of California, there are millions OF
acres of public lands, much of it par
ticularly adapted to the culture OF the
grape and other fruits. In this county
there are a good many acres of these
lands, much of them still unsurveyed,
and though some portions are too
rough for cultivation or too destitute
of water to make them profitable,
there are yet room for many fine fruit
farms and vineyards. Some steps
should be taken to'collect and dissem-
mate correct information about these
lands; information that would be OF
use to intending settlers. The Legis-
lature ought to provide for the collect
Ing of information about all the UNI
settled lands ofthe State, and its publ
cation in convenient form forgeneral
distribution. In no other way could
so much be done toward filling up our
unoccupied lands with thrifty and
industrious population. Correct infor-
nation can easily be got at the Gov
eminent land offices concerning the
public lands The grant lands, school
lands and other lands held by the
State and individuals that are still
unoccupied comprise large area OF
the State, and while information
about them might be more difficult to
obtain, it could still be secured with
out any particular trouble. The own
ers of lands that are for sale would
willingly afford every facility for the
collection of data, and if the Legisla-
ture cannot be induced to make pro-
vision for issuing such document,
these landowners would doubtless
contribute towards doing SO.

Cremation in Siam.

A writer says: During a residence
of several years in Siam 1 neither saw
nor heard of a single burial in that
country, nor did meet with more than
three Siamese tombs. They were the
'Tombs of Three Kings, said to be
centuries old, and all that could learn
of their history was that beneath those
gorgeous monuments of ble~k granite,
exquisitely chiselled ard adorned with
mosaics in gold, silver, copper, ebony,
and ivory, reposed the ashes of the
three lannon's warrior kings who had or
dered the bodies to be buried instead
of burned in order that the singularity
of the circumstance. might keep the
memory of their virtues and bravery
ever fresh in the hearts of their sub
jects. Burning is now, and has been
for centuries, the universal custom in
Siam-preferred, it Is supposed. be-
cause of the facility it affords for re-
moving the precious dust of the loved
and lost. In old aristocratic houses I
have seen arranged in the family re-
ceptacle massive golden urns containing
the ashes Of eight, ten. or twelve gene
rations of ancestors; and, these are cher
ished as precious heirlooms to descend
through the eldest male branch +"

number of the beast" This MYSTICAL
number has played a great part in luck
speculatlons. Some Apocalyptic inter
prefers viii have it that 666 is the pope
himself, while, on the other hand. a Ro-
man Catholic journalist has recently
strlven TO show that If Bismarck were
spelled bismarck, it would be exactly
equivalent to 666. Number three is
greatly In favor of luck; school-boys
insist that the third time will be fair. or
Will result IN success. There is an old
superstition or maxim, call it which we
may, that three handfuls of sand on a
dead body are as good as a funeral.
The romans had notions about the
breadth of a camp fosse measuring an
odd number of feet; the holding of
markets at intervals of an odd number
OF days; the taking of the census at in
tervals OF an odd number of years ; the
dining at a triclinium or three-sided
table the graces being three, the furies
three; and the muses. seven. Greek
cities had an odd number of gates. The
French peasantry have a knack of max
ing out lucky and unlucky years for
great personages, by adding together
the year of our Lord, the digits which
compose that number, the age of the
individual, and the number Of years be-
tween his birth, marriage, or some other
notable event IN his lIfe-an elastic sort

Lucky Numbers.

There is a widel7 spread tendency to
believe in lucky numbers. The mysu-
Cal properties of Plumbers, and the doc
trine of chances. have both something
to % with this matter. Card players
have a number of crotehets OF tins klnd
-" luck under the deuce, bad luck
under the nine of diamonds, an even
number for the trump card. One theo-
ry says that even numbers are uniueky,
because each can be divided INTO two,
thereby denoting death and dissolution m
One nation made the year consist OF ooS
days, in order that it should not DIVIDE
into II equal months. Some OF Ihe ear
~ christians pronounced for odd mum
bers, because God is l In 3, and because
He made holy the It'll day. The num-
Der 7 and its multiplies were on other
grounds made lucky; because a human
being sheds his teeth at Z, becomes
youth at twice Z, man at thrice Z, auu
reaches his grand climacterlc at nine
times Z. In some p srts OF EnSlahd,
the housewives put their hens on an Qua
number of eggs, because, with an even
number. they fear there would be no
chicks. The current year OF our Lord

Lie Condor of lac Andes.

We can tell you an anecdote about the
coudor's power of life. A miner of
Chill, very strong man, once saw a
condor enjoying his feast on the noun
tains. He had eaten so much that he
could not fly, and the man attacked and
tried to kill him. The battle lasted a
long time, and the man was neatly ex-
hausted- But in the end he thought he
was the victor, and left the condor dead,
as he imagined, on the field. Some Of
the feathers he carried off in triumph,
to show to his companions, and told
them he had never fought so fierce a bat
lie. The other miners went to look at
the condor, when, to their surprise, he
was standing erect tapping his wings IL
order to fy away. 4 bird with
such powers of life continues to
exist years and years. Indeed, the con
dor is said to live for a century. The
Indian tries to catch the condor by
stratagem. He employs him to fight in
a ring at those cruel bull-fghts which
are the favorite amusements IN that part
af the world. He does rot attempt TO
attack the condor openly, for he knows
how strong he Is, and he wishes, be-
sides, to take him alive. He procure 8
the skin of a COW and hides himself be-
meath il. Some pieces of flesh are left
hanging to the skin, and are sure TO at
tract the coudor. He comes bouncing
on Il prey, and while he is feeding with
his usual greediness the Indian con-
trives to fasten his legs to the skin.
When this is done he comes ont of his
concealment and the bird sees him for
the first time. He flaps his wings and
would fly but that his feet are entan-
gled and more than this, number of
other Indians come running up and
throw their mantles over him.
