FOOTHILLS FOR HOMES.

Two years ago last July we left our then
residence in Alpine county, this State, for a
trip in search of home for our declining
years and for growing family, in some of
the famed paradisian fields Of California.
Travelling over the valley region of Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin, thence down the
coast to Southern California, which has been
written up and advertised by its local press,
not more than it deserves, but enough to in
sure rapid and permanent growth in pros
perity, we finally selected Santa Barbara as
the spot of all others for such a home.
Since that, having had occasion to pass
through several of the oot-hl counties and
our attention more particularly directed
thereto, it has become our firm conviction,
based upon depth of study and investiga-
ton which any thoughtful man should be-
stow ere he selects his home for life, that,
for health, picturesque scenery, variety of
productions, capacity for fruit, fowels, and
all that goes to the refinement of home, to-
gether with the opportunity presented for
immigration, the foothills are among the
most desirable sections of the State for per-
manent homes. Homes for poor men, who
must delve and struggle for their daily
bread; homes for those of moderate means,
who would make that means go far towards
affording them all the advantages which
wealth usually gives; homes for the rich,
who, having become worn and weary in the
battle for gain, need rest and opportunity
for recuperation, and would enjoy in peace
and quietness the wealth they have acquired; !;
and above all homes for the invaided who
would glide down life's stream as far and
with as much enjoyment as possible. Hav-
ing settled here in what we consider CEN
tral town among the foothills, we shall
make it our business not ONLY to send forth
7Edings to those abroad regarding the faith
which S in us as abovs set forth, until the
population now sparse and transient shall
become dense and permanent, but endeavor
to show those now living here and they who
may hereafter come, the way to make
homes in the foothills which shall be bright
and beautiful and residence therein both
pleasant and profitable. le.-F6otH Hill 7idings.

CURE FOR EARAcHE. Children are
sometimes afflicted with earache to an alarm
ing extent, and there is sometimes a difficult
ty in obtaining an effectual remedy for the
disorder. A writer in the Household says
that she takes piece of salt pork, say an
inch or more long, and half an inch square;
cut down one end to fit the ear, and insert
it, taking care to have the piece too large to
slip in. Tie handkerchief to keep it in
place, if the child will allow it. She also
uses pork for sore throat, Group and lung
colds. Gut slices half an inch thick, dip in
warm water, sprinkle on little pepper, and
sew on a flannel. She has used pork for
earache especially, and always found it to
give instant relief.
To DESTROY ANTS. Fill small vials two
thirds with water and add sweet oil to float
on the water to within half on inch of the
top. Plunge these upright in the ground,
leaving only half an inch standing out, near
the nest or runs of the ants. The ants will
come out for sip and go home to die. No
insect can exist with oil stopping up its
spracles Or breathing pores.
To PREVENT CHOKING Break an egg in
to a cup and give it to the person choking,
to swallow. The white of the egg seems to
catch around the obstacle and remove it.
If one egg does not answer the purpose, try
another. The white is all that is necessary

THE MINING INTERESTS In 1873.

The following, which we find in the Mn
ing and Scientific Press of the 18th, will
be read with much interest by miners of
Placer, as well as other parts. 1t speaks
an Encouraging WORD TO the honest miner,
and gives to tie world an idea of the vast
importance of his labors
The mining interests of the Pacific Coast
have never before been in such prosperous
condition as during the year which has Just
closed. They have had season of unprece-
dented prosperity, and, in consequence. more
attention has been turned to them than in
former years. We are glad to be able to
note the fact that the financial success OF
prominent mines has induced many people
to invest money in legitimate mining rather
than in stock speculations. Many people
carelessly consider that the business of min
ing is merel y one of spect lation and should
not meet with encouragement. The prac-
tices of few unscrupulous men have created
. distrust of all mining enterprises among a
certain class of people, who look upon the
business as being closely connected with
horse racing and gambling.
If these people could only make visit to
some Of the prosperous mining towns of the
Coast, and see the great numbers of people
who earn their daily bread by this very bus
mess, and see the immense traffic occasioned
by the prosperous condition of few good
mines, they might change their opinions.
The business is not only important in itself,
but stimulates every other business in the
country. We in California are always cry
ing out about "building up manufactures, I"
and yet many of us decry mining, which
fosters mainly the manufacturing enterprises
already in our midst. We have in San
Francisco great number of foundries and
machine shops, employing several thousand
skilled artizans, and their heaviest and most
profitable business is making mining machi-
merry. If this branch of the business were
taken from them, half of these fourdries
would be closed and the men turned out of
employment.
But how any thinking man can deny the
vast importance of the mining industry in
the face of the facts we do not see. The
miners are as great producers as the farmers,
and much greater in proportion to their num-
Der. Why all producers should not receive
every encouragement we do not understand,
yet even the Government recognizes in
very slight degree the benefits of mines.
When one class of men in few States and
Territories can produce in year sum of
over seventy-two millions of dollars, taken
from out of the ground itself, they surely
deserve every encouragement possible to re-
newed exertions. We talk a great deal
about the immense wheat producers of Cali
fornia and its importance to the state and
nation. Of course every one will acknowl
edge the Importance of that, but many deny
that mining is of half the consequence.
Now this year the exact value of the wheat
OF this State was S21 1897 ,534, and the gold
product of the State was $1S,025,, ,22.
When we consider that there are without
doubt at least five farmers to- one miner,
the production per capita is greatly in favor

A MYSTERY.

The river hemmed with leaning trees
Wouod through the meadows green;
A low, blue line Of mountains showed
The open pines between.
One sharp, tall peak above them all
Clear into sunlight sprang;
/ saw the river of my dreams,
The mountains that l sang.
No clue Of memory led me on,
But well the ways / knew;
A feeling of familiar things
With every footstep grew.
Not otherwise above its crag
Could lean the blasted pine:
Not otherwise the maple hold
Aloft its red ensign.
So up the long and shorn foot hills
The mountain road should creep:
So green, and low, the meadow fold
Its red-haired kins asleep.
The river wound as it should wind;
Their place the mountains Took
The white, torn fringes of the clouds
Wore no unwonted look.
Yet ne 'er before that rivers rim
Was pressed by feet Of mine;
Never before mine eyes had crossed
That broken mountain line.
A presence, strange at once and known,
Walked with me as my guide;
The skirts of some forgotten life
Trailed noiseless at my side.
Was it dim remembered dream?
Or glimpse through aons old?
The secret which the mountains kept,
The river never told.
But from the vision, ere it passed,
A tender hope l drew,
And, pleasant as a dawn of Spring.
The thought within me grew
That love would temper every change
And soften all surprise,
And misty with the dreams of earth,
The hills of Heaven arise.
