for shipment in q few days. The spring

sufficient quantity Of water. the Major
has purchased the spring at Mr.. Nor.
gan's place from which he will run
pipes to connect at tho mouth OF New
York Canyon with the pipes already laid
between the tank and the spring in the
canyon. When the connection IL made
II In estimated that there will be an
abundance Of water TO keep the tank
hllei at all seasons OF the year. The
length VI the additional pipe will b.
about COCO feet. and IL the weather il
favorable II can be laid in less than two
weeks after its arrival. Il Is TO BE-
hoped that there will be no unnecessary
delay. for with our meagre fire facilities
the town il almost completely at the
mercy Of the destroying element.

An uausual Visitor.

About 0 o'clock yesterday morning
parties ON the river front discovered an
unusual occupant OF the Sacramsnto-
a large animal or fsh-swimming up
stream. On close observation II proved
to be a sea lion OF mammoth proper
tons, ~variously estimated at from six TO
twelve feet in length. Ii swan above
the bridge. nearly grounded upon q
sandbar. creating a heavy swell In lis
efforts to get into deeper water. then
turned about and proceeded q short dis
tancs down stream, bat, being shot at,
again turned and went up the river. II
would swim several hundred feet bo-
meath the surface. then appear above
water With . snort. ret . supply OF air
and disappear. Several men started In
pursuit OF II in boats. but its progress
was too rapid for them. and they had to
give up the chase after proceeding about
q mile. The steamer Dover. which
camo down stream some time afterwards,
reported having seen the stranger about
q mile and q half above the city. II
was later in the day seen In an eddy

" engaged In catching fsh, and subse-
qusnily Il proceeded further up stream.
This IL the first time one Of these ami
mails has been observed no far up the
Sacramento-though . shoal Of por.
poisss came up . few years sgo-and his
presence naturally creates considerable
speculation rs 10 how IL could have oc-
Cured. Probably he is en- route for the
Upper Sacramento a. a committee OF
one sent on an exploring expedition. or
II may be that he has been dispatched
to the headwaters to ascertain why IL 10
that the river IL NO low at this season Of
the year. II he is bound for the Feather
or Upper Sacramento Rivers he will
need a steam capstan 10 draw him ovsr

r,ur y PROCESS

We have all had jssts about the
Fryer process during the past Summer.
There was n mystery and reserve about
the matter which the men u this coast
are not wont TO beai long without q u 8
piciou that something Is wrong. But
il seems now to be an assured fact that
Mr.. Fryer has not deceived himself. and
is not going to deceive the people. The
Grass Valley (Ca.) U"ion-a careful
and truthful Journal. BY the way-nys.
by this process, ores can DO worked to
within ninety.dvs per cent. OF their
assay value. at one working. and at a
cost Of not more than three dollars per
ton. II also further says that stamps
and pans are dispensed with, and the
tremendous power necessary to drive
them. and that but very little quick.
silver il required. II almost takes ones
breath away to think 10 this is true
what . revolution Il will eauss-what q
saving IL will mako In mining. II will
add to tho silver product OF Storey eoun'
ty from ten to twenty Per cent. and 70.
ducs the cost Of milling fifty Per cent.
This will add to the bullion product here
$4,000. 600 or q. ooo. 900 per annum.
and will add 70 the nett profits . further
sum Of at least ga. 900 per day in mill
ing alone. Beyond this IL will make
possible the profitable working OF mil
lions Of tons Of ore and tailings which
are now worthless. In outside dis
tricts the gain will be still greater in
proportion Il the amount Of ores to be
worked. a. in many places the ores ART
% rebsllious that they can only 30 re
duosd BY roasting. which svells the cost
OF working SIXTY Per cent. Tho Uaion'
while stating that pans and stamps ara
by this process dispensed with. does
not state What the relative cost Of the
Fryer process works are. and We pre-
sumo this is one Of the points on which
We shall have to wait for the present.
But what is already told is very wonder
full and means. II true. thai the bullion
product OF this coast il going to rapid,
increase in the next two years. Indeed
