A New uso for Dynamite.

Aftera long search we found what is known as the ''Old Jackman Copper Mines" situated on the rolling fork of Little river, Seiyer county. On the morning of the 18th of December last we commenced cleaning out an old shaft, aud when about four feet deep a large rock was removed by MT. Thompson, and before it could be raised to the top the head of monster rattlesnake peered from the opening made by the removal of the rock, and before this snake was killed we found them breaking in upon us from other portions of the wall, al from their hissing and 1attling and o ward march upon us retreat was our on safety. With rocks, shot gun and revC yer we battled with the enemy, mana ing to keep them all within the shaft, bl with all we could do, it was impossib to destroy them, and a half pound stiC of dynamite was charged and thrown their midst, and when the smoke cleare away victory was ours, and all those thi were not entirely destroyed retreated, a the tails of several were seen prOtrudin from the wall.
 Words cannot describe the pictu presented and the opinion Of all w. that at leas9tt Giiitty iiitty 0f these huge reptiles had been killed but when counted only eighteen rattle aud one black snake, with the remains of half dozen more shat tered and scattered by the explosion, was the result of our hard earned victory. The snakes were the largest of this species 1 have ever seen-the smallest one measuring four feet seven an half inches aud the longest one inch less than seven feet. The least number of rattles was twelve and the greatest 23, and the weight of the largest rattle snake was twenty six pounds and four ounces. The black snake was perfectly immense, but we were unable to get hisexact length, as a portion of his body was torn off and thrown heavenwsrd by the dynamite, but eight feet of this monster still re- mained with his strange associates.
