The Noises Of Earthquakes.

Prof. Lake writes in the Popular Science
Nonthly. Great subterranean noises and
reports resembling thunder-these occur
more or less during all earthquakes.
Father Kircher describes them as "a hor
rid sound, resembling that of an infinite
number of chariots driven fiercely for
ward, the wheels rafting and the thongs
of the whips cracking" Sir Hans Sloane,
i'm Jamaica, as "a hollow, rumbling noise
almost like that of thunder" At Colares,
near Lisbon, in 1855, during the great
earthquake, the sound is said to have been
:. like that of cnari0ts, which increased
till it equaled that of the roar of cannon -
and at Lisbon g a rafting as of coaches in
the street, with frightful noise under.
ground resembling the rumbling of dis
tant thunder" At Madeira the same
earthquake was preceded "by rumbling
noises in the air like that of empty car.
riages, which died away like peal of
distant thunder" On the 18th of Septem-
Der, 1S49, there was an earthquake at
Burra- Burra, in South Australia, where
the noise is said TO have resembled the
rolling of heavy carriages. The shock
was followed by fash OF lightning that
illuminated the whole atmosphere.

dry, but after few months IL is attended
with greensh -colored expectoraton. The

gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There Is
a giddiness, a sort of whirling sensation in

tinged with yellow, the urine Is scanty ana

CAMP ON FRENCH CREEK, NEAR)
HARNEY's PEAK, June II, 1875.
Hon. f. p SMITH:
| have discovered gold in small quan
titles on the north bend of Castle creek,
in terraces or bars ofquartz gravel. We
arrived here yesterday. About fifteen
miners have located camp on the creek
above here. and have commenced work
ing. Gold is found from Castle creek,
southwardly, to FIR nch creek, at this
point, and the deposits are almost Who'll
ly in Dakota. The region has not been
fully explored, but the yield of gold thus
far has been quite small, aud the reports
about the richn SIS of the gravel beds arc
greatly exaggerated. On FeEch creek
the deposits Of gravel are very unfavor-
ably situated. the water supply small and
failing, and the grade too little to admit
of the tailings being carried off by the
stream. The prospect at present is not
such as to warrant extended exploration
in miniRg.

fact that any donkey, with bucketful Of

the fact that it takes years to build up a

tising is almost worthless in these mush'
