LOCAL AFFATRs.-Everyone wants to
know what is going or in their own local
ity and immediate vicinity, and when an
old resident leaves place be likes to hear
The news from his late home. This is
even more the case when one is absent
temporarily for few months. There is
only one certain way by which this end
can be accomplished whereby local
news may be gathered together and dis
seminated. i is through the medium of
the home newspaper-the local press. II
people generally in the several sections of
a county would take a little trouble in
keeping the editor of their county paper
posted Upon what is doing in their own
vicinity, he would each week be enabled
to present a complete record of all occur
rences within the county. Those living
in one town would learn what was going
on in the other, as we'll as at his own
place Of residence, and all would be gain
e:s in the matter of news. Even the
most energetic of country editors cannot
be in all places at all times, and the busi-
ness OF local papers is not suffi cient to
justify the employment of reporters. The
people should feel enough interest in
their local papers to furnish items OF
news at least occasionally if not oftener.

QUARTZ MINING IN SIsKIYoU.-From
:he Yreka Uaion of last week we take
the following items
We learn from A. NJ. johnson. thpt on
Saturday last he finished crushing of
40 tons of quartz from the Lindsey & Co.'S
ledge at his mill in Quartz Valley which
cleaned up little over $50 to the ton. -
He informs us that the Company has q
well defined ledge and the quartz is very
rich; The two lots of quartz he has
crushed tor this Company is sufficient
proof of the last assertion.
Mr.. johnson has also within the past
few weeks made another crushing of some
20 tons from his own ledge which cleaned
up S2S to the ton about So per ton better
than his last crushing.
The Allen Bros. are now getting out
some fire rock from their mine. Mr..
johnson informs us that he has crushed
some $50 tons of quartz for them which
paic about S15 per ton. The rock they
are now getting out is much better how
ever.
There is considerable activity in quartz
in that vicinity. The splendid result of
the crushings of these two or three mines
having awakened the people to realiza-
ton of the wealth lying dormant around
them, and many more ledges are now be-
ing prospected.
John Daggett is building n two ton
roasting furnace at the klamath mine for
toe purpose of roasting the sulpherets
from that mine aud which have accumu-
lated for years.

THE SALMON AND ETNA WAGON
RoAD.-From John Daggett, OF Klamath
Mill, we learn that the wagon road from
Etna to Sawyer's Bar, klamath Mill and
Black Bear is now a foregone conclusion.
At meeting of the stockholders Of the
Company at Etna this week the capital
stock was reduced to $4,000. Norris
Smith, Road overseer of Scott Valley
District was appointed commissioner
on behalf of the Company to act with
Commissioners appointed by the Board
Of Supervisors to Wow and locate the
road, and the commissioners will COM
mence their work Immediately, and the
work of building the road very soon
commence. The company will do as
much as possible on the road this year,
but we don't think it can be completed
this season, now, owing TO operation hav-
ing been delayed unavoidably, by having
to give, by publication, six weeks notice
Of their intention to apply TO the Board Of
Supervisors for Comm issioners to view
and locate the road. This having been
complied with and the commissioners ap-
pointed. everything will go ahead now
without any more delay - Yreka Union.

SUTRo Tunnel CONNECTED wITnTHE
CoMsTocK MINEs.-A Virginia (Nev !
dispatch of July 8th says: AT 0 o'clock
this evening a drill hole connected with
the ! $50 level of the Savage with tho
SutrO tunnel. At l0:45 eight Giant cart
ridges were put in and exploded. The
blast blew out a hole about seven feet
across, and instantly a rush of smoke and
hot air whrled through the drift, blowing
out the lanterns of the miners and filing
the drift with dust and gravel. Superin
tendent Gillette of the Savage, Patton OF
the Bonanza mines, and reporter of the
Associated Press were present. A ladder
was put down and Sutro came up. There
were congratulations and hand shakings
all around. The miners above ground
hosted the American flag, and beer was
drank in tremendous quantities. The air
was growing hotter and hotter rs the re-
porter left the drift, and the hea. was
overpowering and nauseating. The draft
is also very strong and gradually increas-
ing. The surveys were correct.
Ground was broken for the Sutro Tun-
mel on the 10Th of October, 1869. The
work has therefore required eight years,
eight months and nineteen days to com
plete. The progress was very slow at
first, all drilling having been done by
hand T; but in the Spring of 1874, expert
ment with Burleigh drill having de-
monstrated the advantages to be derived
from the use Of that machine. a carriage
capable of supporting six of those drills
while at work was made, and on the 22d
of June, 1874, four were started. The
progress was now much more rapid than
ever before in the history of tunnelng in
the world, and on August 9TH Of the same
year, two more drills were put to work
This made six altogether. From that
date the average progress was over 800
feet per month up to April, 1877, when
the header having entered the broad
Comstock mineral belt, the heat became
so intense that two drills had to be taken
off the carriage. From that day the
average monthly progress did not exceed
$50 feet. Work has been continued un-
interrnptedly since ground was broken,
but at times only two men were at worl;
in the tunnel. The greatest progress was
in Decem Der, 1875, when the header was
advanced AIT feet, and the least in Octo-
Der, 1870, when it was only advanced IS
feet. The total length of the tunnel, as
stated in the official chart published last
September, is 20,l70 feet. The tunnel
being connected with the Comstoelx
workings. the next move of Mr.. Sutro
will doubtless be to start north and south
drifts to connect with all the mines on the
lode. The work has cost nearly 81 ,OO0,-
coo.

his indecent and brutal language. He is

members of the Constitutional Conven-

GERS is being ngitated. Hon. T. b. Nc
Farland, Of Sacramento, is suggested by
the Bee of that city as person well
qualified for its presiding officer. We
have also noticed the name Of Marcus d
Boruck, of San Francisco, mentioned in
connection with the position Of Chief

his services it should do so.
