A letter-writer at Candelaria says:
| There are more ideal millionaires in this
camp than in any place of equal size on
the coast. Every other blue or red shirted
sturdy fellow one meets, who has been for
long time back living, as did the famous
Micawber, in expectancy, now considers
himself as already booked for tower "

gagged in pruning his vines 4 week or two
since, came'across grapes in a perfect state
OF preservation IN places next the ground,
where they had been sheltered by the fall

1t is stated that lately, at Moiavc, the
Cerro Gordo Freighting Company suffered
the loss by death of some seventy valuable
mules, through the effects of alfalfa hay.
In the death of a young animal coming
under our own observation, it was found
that a quantity of this hay had become

In diameter were torn up by the roots, or

reports do not include any loss of human
life, though the escape of some of the mi

miraculous. a monster pine, fully five feet

which several miners were abed. broke

An old miner and mill man of this city
is of the opinion that there will be more
mill-stamps erected during the next four
months than there are at present running
in this vicinity. The ground on which he
bases his opinion is well founded, having
obtained his information from parties who
have large orders for the construction of
new mills and stamps. He claims that
there will be busy times for the saw-mills
as soon as the weather moderates, and the
roads will admit teams into the timber.
They have large orders on their hands, but
are unable to do anything, owing to the
severity of the weather. The future pros
poets for this section are very bright, and
| there is not the least doubt that as soon as
the hydraulic claims are able to work, and
the mills to start up. better times will be
experienced in this city than has ever been
| known for several years. Nevada Herald.
