The Big Trees ofCalifornia.

Mr.. A. 3. Winship, in the nation
al journal of Education, describes
some Of the giant trees Of California
as follows:
A day among the forest giants of
Calaveras county is one of the
grandest experiences that one can
have IN connection with the vege-
table world. It is of such day
that we write. In the early morn
ing of a scorching Autumn day we
were driven from Murphey' S through
the parched valley which leads IN to
the CalaVeras grove.
When within a dozen miles of the
''blg trees we came across some SUI
gar pines from eight to ten feet in
diameter and more than two humid
red feet high; these were SO much
larger and taller than anything we
had ever seen that we became exceed
ingly enthusiastic over them, and
annoyed the driver with our cues
tons and remarks; but as we found
ourselves riding among these trees
for miles, we came to think little
more Of them than of grove of
Cape Cod scrub pines; indeed, our
estimate of trees underwent a com
plete change in three or four hours,
50 that when the driver pointed to
the 'SSentinels'' and told US those
were the real s'big trees, I we were
greatly disappointed, and did not

has stopped. The required amount of labor
necessary to the securing of a patent has
not been performed, in fact, all work has
been stopped, and the ground virtually
abandoned. The p~igeon-holes of the Land
Office are filled with the files of these appli-
cations, the applicants presuming to suppose
from the wording of the advertisement,
set up within the sixty days period of pub
LEGATION they are forever barred, that this
constitutes a sufficient title, and that any
further proceedings are unnecessary. And
this would, from the wording, seem to be
the case, but such is not the purpose, intent
and meaning of the law. Should the claim
ants to such lands continue to work and de-
velop the same, it perhaps would be, but
where all improvement has ceased, and the
premises, to all appearances, abandoned, we
believe such lands may be relocated by other
parties and Che claims of the original claim
ants set aside. Such lands have never been
purchased from the government, but are
thus fraudulently held. OF the immense
number of placer claims surveyed since the
passage of the patent act, fully two-thirds
are in this condition. These lands, or a ma
jority OF them, would pay So and 81 per
day for working, and would be worked were
they not so held. The patent act, so lar as
it relates to placer mines, is a complete fraud.
1t retards the progress and prosperity OF the
country, and is bad for the government
since it enables individuals to appropriate
and hold large tracts of government domain
without giving compensation therefor-and
should, and we trust may be repealed at an
early date. But if this cannot be accom-
plished, action should be taken to set aside
the validity of any and all. such claims as
those above referred to, and to open this
large mining area to the industry of the
country.
