A shaking Mountain.

About three months ago q Rumber OF
miners from san Francisco explored
II Monte Amargo, the Bitter Mountain,
10 Northern Chill. Near the top Of the
mountain they found something Of which
they bad heard marvellous stories-the
Eye Of the Gold. This mine Of poetic
name was examined TO the disappoint-
ment Of the whole party. Evening had
crept on and il VA too late 10 descend,
~ the Californians lighted = fire under
\ rock near the summit, there TO pass
the night. A furious wind was blowing
from the nsighboring desert Of Atamaca-
Suddenly the wind dropped; an unnAt-
uzl calm and silence followed. Then
came q confused mnrmur a. from . dis
tan,, sngTy crowd Of people, swelling
10 4 grinding. crushing sound. A slight
shiver ran through the solid mountain,
succeeded By . more positive, rocking
mo,ion. The men gOt upon their feet
~ quickly a. possible, but in another
momen, all were shaken down. One Of
the p~rospectors says that the mountain
seemed about 20 sink beneath them. A
horrid roar pervaded all space, and
Monte Amargo beloved like the wind,
starred surface OF the ocean. The mer
were seized with dreadful nausea and
an indcscnbAble feeling Of despair
Tho idghtiui phenomenon lasted les
than a half minute, and when II wa
over earth and sky were rs peaceful n
ever. They had experienced "a trem
bier" said To be worse on the Bite
Mountain than at any other know
plaee.-SaH Francisco Alta.

CUSTER, Dec. Il, 1882.

The extent of wine making in Cal
lfornia astonishes visitors from the
East. At the ineyards Of San Gabri.
ell, the largest in the State, 100000
gallons of wine and 100, 900 of brandy
will be made from this years crop OF
grapes. The nnskilled labor employ
ed is usually Chinese, but the experts
are mostly from the wine districts Of
France and Germany, though Ameri-
cans learn the process readily. The
grapes are stemmed and squeezed by
machinery. The juice runs into watts,
where it ferments sufficiently and is
pumped into great butts in the cellars.
There it stands until it is clarified by
whites of eggs, isinglass or gelatine,
after which it is filtered through char
coal and drawn off into casks for ship
ment. As to the profits of grape cul-
ture, it is calculated that the vines will
bear in the third year after the cuttings
are set out, give profit in the fourth,
and in the fifth yield enou n to pay all
expenses, including the cost of the
land. There are seven wine produc-
ing districts in California, and the to-
tai vintage this year is 100000 gal
Ions. Some of this will be distilled
for brandy, and some drunk at home,
but the bulk will be sent Eastward. to
be sold under foreign labels.
