FROM passengers Of the steamboat CO.
dorado, last Sunday, we learned that the
mill at Empire Flat had been running a
few days, at the time they stopped there.
1t was running on gold quartz, of which
large quantity had been accumulated at
the mill. The plates looked first-rate and
bore out the opinion attributed to the su-
perintendent, Capt. Richards, that the rock
was yielding about $50 per ton. Speci-
mems brought down here look very well :;
those most snowy in gold are of talcose
character. Much interest attaches to this
enterprise, as its success will determine
the development of many other mines in
that vicinity.

SPECIMENS of pure rock salt, from the
mines Oh Virgin river, were brought down
by Capt. Poole. Print can be read through
one piece about six inches thick-so clear
is its crystallization. A Capt. Dougherty
built fat-boat up there, and brought
down to the Ell Dorado mill eighteen tons
of this salt. The deposits are described
as immense From there was brought the
Salt used by the Mineral Park and Hack
berry quartz mills; and from there can,
anG should be, probably brought all the
salt required by the mills of western Ari-
iona.

THE sojerS Of Fort Yuma will be paid

THE steamer now being put upon the
route between San Bias and the Colorado
river is an old acquaintance on this coast.
She was built III 1851 and ran as a side
wheel riYcr-boat on the Sacramento and
San Joaquin rivers, and San Francisco bay.
lii 1888 she was bought by John Hawkins
and Capt. Charlie Thorne, father of Capt.
Steve Thorne late of the Colorado river.
They put her on tAe route to Alvlso, while
the old Jenny Lind was out for repairs.
She was then called the c. NJ Weber. As
soon as the Lind got out, she was taken to
Happy Valley and had her cabins taken off
and was in other ways fixed for runnin~as
day boat TO AlvisO. When the Jenny
Lind blew up, she came out as the Guada-
lupe; that Is, this name was painted on her
paddle-boxes, though her registered name,
of G. NJ. Weber, WAS kept on her stern.
When the California Steam Navigation
Company was formed, they bought up
about all the boats running on the Bay,
including the Weber; which they after
ward sold TO otLer parties who converted
her INTO sea-Going propeller, of 30 tons,
and called her the "Coquille" Now a
Mexican company owns her, will call her
the General Saragoza as soon as she
gets into Mexican waters and will run her
between Mexican ports and the mouth of
the Colorado.

AGRICULTURAL.
The Hon Weld.

In 1856, stimulated by the high prices.
the farmers of Wisconsin went largely into
this hop raising, the yield of that state for
that year being from $4,000 to 1907 900 bales,
The usual consequence of over-production
followed, and the price fell to point where
the culture became Improbable, and the yield
decreased until last year, when the produc-
ton was exceptionally large all over the coun-
try, Wisconsin produced only about 10000
bales, and this years crop, which is only just
being harvested, will not it is estimated, reach
over Is, 900 bales. In this state the yield has
gradually increased until last year it amounted
to from 10000 to 100000 bales. From other
sources, Michigan aud other Western states,
and from California, there were from 10000
TO 30,0O0 bales, making the whole Yield of
this country for the last year about 100000
bales. This excess of production caused a
reduction OF price to an average of s cents per
pound, and the low price swelled the demand
both for export and home consumption beyond
Its natural proportion, the brewers both at
home and abroad buying in excess of their
needs. They probably have large stock of
the last crop still on hand. 1t is not, therefore,
probable that either the home or the foreign
demand will be as great this year as it was
last, and as there is more than enough of last
years crop still on hand to make up for the
estimated deficiency in the present crop, there
is little prospect of an advance in the present
present price, which for the choice is from Is
cents to Is cents per pound.
For brewing purposes the. new hops are
decidedly the best, the price being from 30 to
so per cent. higher. Lovers of lager, how
ever, need not be disheartened by this, for the
hop dealers say that the old crop is almost en-
tirely taken by ale brewers, while for lager
nothing but the new crop will do.-New-

1t is often useful to have few approximate
data to deduce weights and measures FROM
not aim at great accuracy, but may serve to
make rough estimate when it is necessary to
reduce measures: A pint of water weighs near
II pound and is equal to about q cubic
wide and 3 inches deep. A quart of water
weighs nearly pounds and, is equal to
SQUARE box of about 4 by 4 inches and 81
Inches deep. A gallon of water weighs from 5
to 10 pounds, according to the size Of the GAL
lon, and is equal to box by inches square,
ADD 6, z or q inches deep. A cubic foot OF
water weighs nearly 66 pounds (more correctly
621 pounds) and contains from to8 gallons,
according to the kind of gallons used. A peck
is equal to box 8 by inches square and 8
inches deep. A bushel almost fills box - by
IL inches square, and "a inches deep, or cubic
feet. A barrel of water almost fills box by
2 feet square and II feet deep. or cub G feet.
