MINES AND MINING.

GOLD BULLIoN.-On Wednesday we were
 shown, at the store of c. P Head & O., sev-
 eral nice bars of bullion aggregatlng, with a
 quantity of arrastra dust, over Sl0,000. One
 bar from the Senator mine, brought in by S.
 o. Frederick, weighed 3SS30 ounces, and as-
 sayed S5.4l0.l0 coin value. Another weigh
 ing lO4.50 ounces was stamped Sl,4lS.20
 came from Earnings arrastras; besides a
 bar made from a mixed lot of arrastra anal
 gum which weighed 20755 ounces. of the
 value of S3,059s0. These were all assayed
 by J. Rosentbal, and had bis coin estimate stamped on them which he guarantees to agree with the |. s. Mint assays.
 But this is not all, at Wm. NJ. Buffums store We demanded sight and made him ex- hibit 240 ounces in three bars, unassayed, mostly from the Gen. Crook mine and esti- mated to aggregate about S4,000.
 At L.. Bashford & Co.'s We found between S1, 400 and Sl 300 in arrastra and placer dust, and at J. G. Campbell's, between SiOO and $500 of the same material. making in all over Sl6,000 on hand at one time in the hands of four merchants of the gold product | of the neighborhood, to say nothing of green brcks and quarteamaster's checks, which arc | really the currency of the country, and | which constitute the principal part of the unds with which trade is carried on.
 We give these figures in order that it may pc seen that although this is not a gold min- ng country, We nevertheless make a little howing in that direction while waiting for he development of the silver mines.
 OCCIDENT.-One hundred and seventy-five ( eet west of the Peck mine, and running par { llel with it, is the Occident lode, owned by { he Peck company, and is indeed one of the ( orpEery or quartzire dikes of the system z lodes that extend for width of four or ve miles in belt known as the Peck series. his particular stratum was located at the | me of the discovery of the Peck, but has in idle until this week, when it was decided $ put one man to work on it, and in an hour | ? had out about I50 pounds of from D to g per cent ore and disclosed the presence of four-foot vein of the same kind of material. | his, of course, created some excitement n nong the owners, and they at once made r( to run tunnel from a gulch fo ar by, which will, in about 70 feet, strike e ledge at depth of l9O feet from the c rface.

THOMAS CORDS, Esq, our internal reve. Hue man, returned from San Francisco by Tuesdays stage. He informs us that tbev had lovely rain at San Bernardino while he was there, and that it extended far out m the Mohave desert, so that the road. which was covered with deep, loose sand as he went into California two months ago. is now hard and smooth from the effects of the rain.

 Mr. Cordis was in San Francisco dur;nc the financial crash, and is highly pleased with the fortitude with which California business men bear up under difficulties. He thinks if the same thing had occurred in any Eastern city half the business would have been closed, but in this case forbearance was the rule; no one was pushed, payday was put oil from Sept. 1st to the. 18th, and only those who came up voluntarily to settle were required to pay.

 San Diego, Sept IT.-The Indian, Jose Delcarme, convicted of the murder of one Johnson, near the Julian mines, four years ago, was executed to-day in the courthouse yard. Commendable promptness and eff ciency were manifested by Sheriff Hunsack- CT. The whole affair was begun and over between 1:30 and 2 o'clock D. m. Delcar- me made speech on the scaffold in which he said that his testimony on trial, implica- ting other Indians WIS all perjury; he de- clared also that he was innocent himself He began to weaken toward the close of his speech, and the sheriff touched the spring as soon as he stopped talking. He was very muscular man. No doubt is en- of his guilt. He was very bad Indian and believed to have been concerned in number of murders in the interior in the past six or eight years.

Stoddard secretary of the Willing Mining Company, who represents that they have a mine near Bradshaw, writes to General Kautz to know 1T It would be safe for them to come out here with view to working their property, as they were obliged to abandon it on account oi Indians once or twice.

TIE settlers near Pueblo Viejo, above San Carlos, have reported and made complaint to the commander of the department, that the Indians are robbing their melon patches and fields. As stealing melons can hardly be considered hostile, in warlike sense, we would suggest that the Indian agent would be the proper authority to complain to.

Preparing Plants for Winter.

SEPTEMBER is a very important month
with those who cultivate flowers for the
house. During this month everything
should be repotted, if it has not been done
before. Many plants need a change at
this season before going into winter quar-
tiers. In fact the health and growth of
plants depend much on potting and the
soil that is used. Worms are quite sure
to get in during the summer. Plants
soon show their presence by making a
poor growth or assuming a sickly hue. II
plants like geraniums, h~eliotropes, ETC.,
have been taken out of the pots and plant
ed into the ground during summer, they
will not do much in the way of blooming
the fore part of winter. For fall show and
early winter ii is better to keep plants in
pots plunged in the ground. When cold
nights come they are easily removed to
the house, where they will make a fine
show. Perhaps they may need new pots
before going into the house.
Oleanders, ivies and some others must
be cleaned of all insects before taking
in. The leaves must be examined care
fully and washed if the insects adhere to
the leaves. The under side especially
must not be neglected. A fine brush is
sometimes useful in getting rid of the scaly
insects that infest oleanders and some
others.
Chrysanthcmums if in the ground must
be taken up with care, kept in the shade a
few days and we'll supplied with water I'M
til after their season of bloom. A good
collection of these is very desirable for the
fall and early winter.-St. PaM Pioneer

Good Advice.

THE author of this is not known, but
he or she Is certainly a wise man or
woman: Would you show yourself real
ly good to your daughters? Then be gen.
erous to them in a truer sense than that
of heaping trinkets on their necks. Train
them for independence first, and then labor
to give it to them. Let them, as soon as
ever they are grown up, have some little
money, or means of making money, to be
their OWN, and teach them how to deal
with it without needing every moment
somebody to help them. Calculate what
you give them or will bequeath to them,
not, rs is usually done, on the chances of
their making a rich marriage, but on the
probability of their remaining single, and
according to the scale Of living to which
you have accustomed them. Suppress
their luxury now if need be, but do no
leave them with scarcely bare necessaries
hereafter, in striking contrast TO their pres
ent home. Above all, help them to help
themselves. Fit them to be able to add
to their own means rather than TO be
forever pinching and economizing till
their minds are narrowed and their hearts
are sick. Give all the culture you can to
every power which they may possess. If
they should marry after all they will be
the happier and the better for it. If they
should remain among the million of the
unmarried they will bless you in your
grave, and say of you, what cannot be
said of many a doting parent by his sur
yiving child: My father cared that l
should be happy after his death as well as
while l was his pet and his toy.

CommOn-SenSe Ventilation.

Col. G. E. WARING, JR., writes in tn
October atlantic as follows:
The best practical statement l have met
about ventilation was contained in the re-
mark Of a mining engineer in Pennsylva-
MIA: Air is like a rope; you can pull it
better than you can push it." All me-
chanical appliances for pushing air into a
room or house are disappointing. What
we need to do is to pull out the vitiatcd
air already in the room; the fresh supply
will take care of itself if means for its adj
mission are provided.
1t has been usual to Withdraw the air
through openings near the ceiling, that is,
to carry off the warmer and therefore
lighter portions, leaving the colder strata
at the bottom ofthe room, with their grad
ual accumulation of cooled carbonic acid
undisturbed. Much the better plan would
be TO draw this lower air out from a point
near the floor, allowing the uppc and
warmer portions to descend and take its
place.
An open fire with a large chimney
throat is the best ventilator for any room;
the one-half or two-thirds of the heat car
ried up the chimney is the price paid for
Immunity from disease; and large though
this seems from its daily draft on the
wood-pile or the coal-bin, it is trit1ing
when compared with doctors bills and
with the loss of strength and efficiency
that invariably result from living in I'M
ventilated apartments.

Cistern Water.

MANY persons have had difficulty with
the water in new cisterns, or in cisterns
newly cleaned or cemented, finding the
rain water which was expected to be per-
fectly pure and palatable almost unfit for
use, and particularly SO when heated or
boiled-a heavy scum then appearing IN
its surface. The water, moreover, proves
to be hard instead of soft. This is evil
IDENTIFY the result of its contact with the
interior coating of the c~istern, and if, after
two or three months, all the water is
pumped out and a new supply admitted,
it is generally found that the quality is
greatly improved, the injurious elements
of the coating of the cistcrn having ap-
parently been either absorbed or covered
by al everything deposit. To empty the
clstern and wait for its redlling is some
times, however, d matter of considerable
inconvenience. 1t is said that the water
first obtained from it may be purified so
as to be at least fit for domestic require
ments by putting into a bucketful a
small quantity of alum and letting the
water settle before using. The sediment
thus formed will contain the impurities
and the water is left in suitable state for
use.-HtIihg and Mechanical Meas.

How to Sweep.

SWEEPING, for a well woman, is one of
the best kinds ofexercise. 1t calls in play
especially the muscles of the upper ex-
tremities and chest, and, indeed, it is a
pretty good thorough exerciser," al
most too strong for any woman with a
weak back, though this depends very
much on what is to be swept. A painted
floor and Canton mating sweep easily :;
an ingram carpet is harder; a rag carpet
harder still; while Brussels and velvet are
lawful" Well, then, in any case, cover
your head, and if it is in the parlor or
sitting-room cover your furniture and
books, dampen your broom, let it stand
ten to twenty minutes, and then sweep
carefully, but persistently. In the corners
insert your broom repeatedly (but not
frantically) until quite clean. Heavy
carpets are best swept with a quick, short
stroke. In any case bring the broom to-
ward you Or even with you; do not flirt it
in front of you. That motion kicks up a
dust which is bad for the lungs. Some
things, like straws, Rawlings and bits of
paper, are best picked up with the hand
or with a small broom, to which they
readily cling, and may be removed with
the other hand. To conclude, have as few
carpets as possible. They are dirty, un-
wholesome and expensive. Painted or
oiled floors and Canton mating are bet
ter.-ScSence of Health.
