A young China boy with seven fingers
on his right hand is the sensation now at

Several hundred acres of young mustard
around Blanco was killed by frost and will

There is not an unoccupied tenement
house in Fresno county, and there is daily
inquiry for dwellings by people desiring to
come to Fresno to settle.
The farmers in the vicinity of San Luis
Obispo are in great glee over the crop pros
poets. The weather is warm and grain and
grass are growing very rapidly.
This will be lively mining year in
Mariposa county. Quite a number of
quartz leads prospected last year will be
worked for all they are worth this season.
Granite Creek District is the name of a
new mining district in the Skagit gold re-
gion Good prospects were obtained, and
in less than two hours twenty claims were
located.
Gravel mining in this vicinity continues
on in the even tenor of its way. There is
no lack of water nor want of energy, and
the consequence is that things are going on
swimmingly. -[Calaveras Chronicle.
There has heen good sleighing for three
months in Sierra valley, and it bids fair to
last for another month The snow has
been a foot deep on the level, and the re-
cent storm must have increased the depth
During the week we have met and con-
versed with farmers from all parts of the
county, and the general expression is that
all crops planted are looking fine and the
prospect for an abundant harvest most IA
vorahle. The fruit crop in some localities
will be partial failure, and late frosts may
yet do great damage.-[Shasta Courier.

yield a pound of butter a day, but wet

The Chico Record learns from G.. W.
Dorm, who had been on tour of inspec-
ton through the Butte City and Pratt grant
sections on Tuesday, that the grain is look
ing splendid, and all that is wanted is
warm weather. He says the prospect was
never so encouraging at this season. From
the southern portion of Tehama county
and northern Butte we also learn that the
grain is strong and healthy and in excel
lent condition.
An old-time stock man of White Pine
says the outlook in that section for stock
and ranching the coming season is
gloomy one, from the fact that a scare
ity of water is almost inevitable. Al
though there has been a considerable
fall of snow this winter it is unusually
small as compared with previous years, and
on White Pine Mountain, where two or
three years ago the snow laid in the big
canyons thirty or forty feet deep, there is
hardly any this season.
A letter from James Clarkson, Jr., now
at Lakeview, written to his parents here,
and dated March LIST, states that stock
have Jared badly in the Goose Lake coun-
try this winter. A great many cattle have
died in the vicinity of Lakeview. The
snow is between 80 and 40 inches deep on
level. The most of the fences are drifted
out of sight, and snow IN places about six
feet deep. Hay is very scarce and cannot
be bought at any price. People think the
snow will stay on the ground until the
middle of April, which will cause the loss
of many more cattle and horses.-[ Yreka
