LINCOLN ITEMS.
From our Local Reporter. I

THE Coal MNE.-Through the courtesy OF
Nathan Alexander, engineer of the coal mine
we were shown through the underground works
OF this mine few days since. At the bottom
OF the shaft. which is GA feet deep, we found q
well-constructed reservoir so arranged as to
drain the water from the mine, leaving the coal
comparatively dry. The water is pumped up
from the reservoir by steam power. Running
from the shaft there are four drifts, one to the
West IS feet, 10 feet wide; one to the North 100
feet, 10 feet wide; one to the East so feet, II
feet wide, and one to the South so feet, 6 feet
wide The latter being the tunnel designed to
connect the shaft now used with the new one,
which is nearly finished. These tunnels aver
age about eight feet in height according to the
coal bed, and are all heavily timbered with red
wood and hemock Fourteen men are now en-
ployed about the nine but the number will be
largely increased when the new shaft is finished
which will be in about two weeks
The GRANcERs.-A Grange was organized at
Lincoln, on Friday, the 18th inst, by w. S.
Manlove, State Deputy. 1t is now composed OF
about twenty-five of the leading farmers of
western Placer, and its membership will prob
ably be increased to one hundred within the
next three mcntha. Hbn. NJ Waldron was
chosen Master, and Jacob Mariner, Secretary.
Another Grange, we learn is soon to be organ
ized at Sheridan. Thus the farmers of Placer
1t seems, although a little tardy, are alive to
Their own interests, and are determined, here
after, to have hand in the regulation of the
prices Of such articles of merchandise as they
have to sell and buy. For it is Well known
fact that our farmers have been compelled for
many years, to sell their grain for just what the
merchants chose to give them, while, upon the
other hand, they have to pay the merchant S
price for that which they have to buy.
FINE HoRsEs.-Lest some of our neighbors
should labor under the impression that grain
growing and black diamond mining are the only
resources of western Placer we beg leave to
say that while we do not boast of being among
the foremost counties of the State in the breed
ing of fine horses, yet western Placer can boast
of having some very fine animals Of the equine
species AS for roadsters, and horses of all
work. Joshua Reeves, residing three miles West
of Lincoln, has a band that will compare
favorably with any band in the State His
celebrated stallion, Young Vibrator, it will be
remembered took the first premium twice at
the State Fair. AS for thoroughbreds M. Cas-
sidy's stallion, Young Lodi has few superiors
in the State. Mr.. Cassidy also has u four-year-
old mare, Brown Minnie, which, noted horse
men say, will soon hold n prominent place
among the fast trotters. There are other
gentlemen, also, who deserve much praise for
the interest they have taken in the introduction
and breeding of fine horses in Placer.
The Placer herald., 1874-05-23

claims to do this, and if it be true-and owl
dence indicates that it is-the part this Alden
process is to play in the agricultural and COM
mercial interests of our State, and especially the
FOOTHILLS, will be wonderful. 1t is called fruit
dryer, but in reality, as we understand it. it
does not dry the fruit, but rather removes the
water In few hours by pneumatic evaporation.
leaving the fruit much reduced in size, perfectly
cured, but still retaining all the properties OF
substance and flavor it had in its prime fresh
ness BY this process the water is merely ex-
tracted, and by simply soaking in water you
again have the fruit in its original size with all
its substance 1t is in this respect that it so far
excels the much more expensive process of sun
drying. The conditions of natural drying are
such, as we all know, that decay commences
before evaporation begins, and continues
through every stage until the essential fayors
which constitute the richness of the fruit are
lost. When the day shall come, and if the AL
den fruit preserver is all that is claimed for it.
that day is not far distant when every pound of
fruit that can be raised here will be cured and
placed on the markets of the world at q price
which will return to the producer as much per
amounts in his home market every acre of our
land will rise to twenty fold its present val
ue, the country will be thckly studded with fine
orchards and vineyards, and comfortable vine
clad cottages, and we shall all see better times
We all know what an acfe of our foothill soil
would be worth, if within one mile of San Fran
cisco, where a ready market could be found for
all the fruits we could raise, and if we can so
cure and market our fruits as to yield the same
price to the producer will not the soil be worth
as much? These ideas we gather mainly from
pamphlet on the subject, which shows by fig
ures and facts the profits to the producer by this
method of preserving. 1t seems to be matter
at least worth knowing something about, and
we give these ideas in hopes that some of our
enterprising farmers will take pains tc investi-
gate the merits of the process thoroughly, and
if found to be all that is claimed for it, secure
one or more in this part of the country, that
we may begin without delay to reap its benefits.

PLACER COUNTY MINING NEWs-BANKs,
BLASTING, ETC.
>. NJ. STEVENS,
ANDREW HOLDER,
Committee.

The following, from the Scientific Press, will
be found particularly interesting to miners:
"Mr j. II. Brown, of Forest Hill, Placer
county, has several men at work on his claim,
the New Jersey, mine only needing develop
ment to yield rich returns. Mr.. Brown, who is
probably the oldest resident on the divide hav-
ing been there since 1851, affirms that capital
only is wanting to make the Forest Hill mines
as profitable as they were in 1859 and 1860.
At Forest Hill on the morning of April 29th,
at s clock, Mr.. N. J. Kabath, of the firm of
Kabath & Ladd agents of the Latin & Rand
Powder Co.. fired by ele ctricty the largest blast
that has ever been shot off on the divide. The
claim operated upon is known as the Paragon,
situated at Bath, and owned by Wheeler and
Breese. The amount of powder used was 700
kegs, or II 500 pounds. The blast was acknowl-
edged by many practical miners who witnessed
it, to be the most successful and effective that
had taken place in that section. In preparing
the ground for this blast the following was the
plan adopted
The drift from the face OF the bank was 10
feet long. From the end of this drift was run
one way 20 feet, and the other way 60 feet.
From the end of the 70-foot drift an L was run
toward the face of the bank 55 feet; from the
end Of the 60foot drift short drift, 80 feet long
was also run back toward the face of the bank.
In the drifts to the right 400 kegs of powder
were placed, and the opposite side 300 kegs.
The mouth OF the drift was tamped for 70 feet
from the near end and the T drifts were
tamped 10 feet each way. Plenty of space was
left in the l. drifts for the expansion of gases
generated by the explosion of powder. The
tunnel was 4 "a feet high and five feet wide, and
the bank was 140 feet high. The electrical ap-
paratus by which the blast was fired was 450
feet from the mouth of the tunnel. The Whole
length of wire was about 800 feet.
1t will be seen from what has been remarked,
that there was 25 feet of tamping-ten feet on
each side and that in the width of the tunnel
between the two L drifts, not counting the 70
feet between that and the outer air. If this
blast had been fired by means of fuses, and one
side had gone off before the other, much less ex-
ecution would have been done. Being fired by
electricity, the discharge was simultaneous and
was exerted on both sides of the tamping at the
same instant, SO that the explosive force of the
powder was exerted in the proper direction only.
The powder was placed in the drifts in iron
kegs. The drifting necessary to put off this
blast cost $500, and powder, materials, etc :.
cost 2.700 more. AS the owners estimate that
from the effects of this single blast they will be
able to clean up about $4,000 the outly Of
$4,000 was extremely small in view of the ben
efts derived. The system of bank blasting will
probably double the consumption of powder il
California in few years, With good results tc
the miners.

the citizens of this usually quiet burgh were

SHERIDAN RRESPONDENCE
SHERIDAN, May 16, 1874.

SHERIDAN, May 10, lo|4.
Ed. HERALD:-
We had, last Thursday evening, very pleas
ant little affair in this village. A number of our
liberal citizens subscribed the sum of S37 81,
with which amount they procured the services
of William Trickel's Band, of Marysville con-
sistng of violin, harp and carionet. The
agent of the railroad company gave the use OF
the depot, which the ladies embellished with
flowers, festoons and graceful drapery, which
relieved the sombre aspect Of its naked walls,
and presented a very pleasing appearance
supper was provided at fifty cents head, in the
Sheridan Hotel, across the street; and then,
these preparations being made, everybody and
thier wives were invited to come and make mer-
ry. The peculiar features above mentioned
rendered the programme very attractive, and the
depot floor presented lively spectacle all
night There were from seven to ten couples
gliding in the may waltz, almost without in
terrupton The ladies graced the occasion with
their presence in large numbers, and the gallant
youth of the foot-hill farms and turkey ranches
were assiduous in their attentions, compass
ing them about with sweet observances. 1t
was, altogether very jolly and tp-top time,
and was not marred by any disagreeable after
clap of dunning gay revelers for unpaid bal
ances due the musicians, This feature of pay
ing for the music in advance is good one.
Of course, when the affair is conducted in this
way, there will be people who will dance all
night on the thin edge of dime or a quarter,
and never patronize the table once; but the
general good nature and liberality of the peo-
ple are able to carry the thing through in good
shape, and no favors asked.
