Geld Fields Of Lower California.

The following interesting notes about
the placer mines of Lower California
we're written by Samuel Brannan, one
of the best known men of the Pacific
coast, to an old friend, John B. Best, of
Lake Valley, N. NJ: In 1847, George
McDougall, brother of the governor of
California, and Benjamin Lipincott,
senator from Mariposa, started on a
vesselsfor Mazatlan, Mexico, from San
Francisco, On their return trip they
were s~hipwrecked on the coast Of Low
or California, near Cape San Lucas.
The vessel was lost and they were
obliged to proceed on foot to San Diego,
Cal, where they obtained mules and
then went to the northern part of the
state. When they arrived in California,
in the spring of 1s48, they learned of
the discovery of gold in that state.
They reported that they had seer some
very rich placer claims in the country
they had passed through in Lower
California. One OF the men who heard
the story Of the hardships they had
encountered while travelling through
this rich country proposed to Brannan
to form a company to explore the
~peninsular. This was done. Each of the
men put up $500 and five miners were
sent to Cape San Lucas with such
equipments as could be obtained in
those times. The nen we're gone seven
months and nearly persisted at n
time fer want of water. They thoroughly
explored the gold fields and then
returned to,Upper California by land,
carrying with them many samples.
They reported that there was plenty of
gold, but no water at al, so 9it would
be impossible TO work it unless O supply
could be obtained. AS there was at the
time q great excitement over the gold
discoveries in California, the project
was abandoned for tile time being.
OF the existance of gold in Lower
California, there can be no doubt.
There are many specimens of the metal

The New Capitol.
Galveston News

AUSTIN, June 5.-The Capitol Board
met to-day to reply to a letter Of the
contractors, giving a list of seventeen
stone qnarries in this and adjoining
counties they had thoroughly exam
med at q cost of SIG, 200, and stating
that the only quarry where they had
found suitable stone in sufficient guam
tity, was that at O~atmanyille in this
county. They further asked the board
to examine the stone and decide if it
was acceptable. They had lost much
valuable time in this endeavor and
hoped the board would decide the
question, as they did not want any
delay that might be attributed to their
action. To this letter, the board re-
piled through letter written by their
secretary, in which they say the speci-
men block of stone from Oatmanville
quarry, submitted May 4, has been
examined, and the board has visited
the quarry and they passed a resolu-
ton that the specimen block CORES
ponds with the sample block required
for the building and designated in the
specifications, hence is acceptable: but
the board does not commit itself as to
the amount of stone in the quarry; or
in other words, does not accept the
quarry. It seems they merely decide
the specimen conforms to the class of
stone that is required for tue building.
AS to the remark abont delay, they
express the hope the contractors do
not attribute the delay to any fault of
the board, for they have been anxious
the work should proceed. They also
gave the contractors notice that the
supplemental contract for changing
the tensile strength required Of the
cement to be used would be null and
void, unless the unqualified consent OF
Designing Architect Meyers and bonds
men was given to the change. Mey-
ers' consent, it appears, is conditional,
and his sureties have not agreed to the
change. The board returned Meyers
consent to the change, in order that it
be made without qualification.

characteristics of Greyhomds.

When the greyhound chases any
thing he means killing it. Should o
little dog become scared and start to
run from two or three greyhounds, his
life may be numbered by seconds, IN
less he quickly finds a place OF refuge
where his pursuers can not have access
to him. and where he can "bow WOW"
his disgust at their want of courtesy
and bloodthirstiness without fear OF
retribution. As for cats, Of all the
enemies of the feline race, none are to
be more dreaded by them than the
greyhound. In o field where there are
no trees poor pussy is soon down, when
one grip from the long, powerful Jaws
of her pursuer settles her account III
this world. And this habit OF chasing
everything that runs from them is
so much q part and @ parcel of their
nature and is so fostered by their
training that to eradicate it is impos-
sible without rendering the dog use
less. On the other hand I have seen
them run up to a small terrier, who was
plucky enough to stand and face them,
awaiting the course of events, when
thew would simply nose him all over,
which is the nature of strange dogs in
general when they meet one another,
and let him proceed on his way unmo-
Tested, although I must admit there is
generally a "lurking devil" in the
corners of their eyes as he trots quiet,
" off to see if he will not break into q
gallop and so give him an excuse for
"chevying' him forthwith. Also, this
breed, one and all, must plead guilty
to the charge of larceny. Most impu'
dent thieves they are, too, net being
very particular about stealing under
tho very noses of the owners of the
property purloined, and having got
pos session of the coveted plumber
they, to quote an expression of oul
American brethren, ''hop around live

the option of vowing vengeance agains

in particular, and so put up with hi

Denver Times.

As yet no ostrich chicks have been
Matched at Anaheim, the change of sea-
sonssbetween the antipodes of Califor-
MIA and South Africa having discon-
certed the birds and thrown them out
of their regular order OF e~gg-laying.
Each hen lays fourteen eggs three
times q year. II the eggs are taken
away from her and put in an Incubator,
the deluded hen goes to work and lays
another dozen Or so. Each egg is
nearly as large as q mans head, weighs
twentT-four pounds and is equal to
twenty four common hens eggs. Each
egg has to remain forty-two days in
on incubator, and there are several Of
them now laid in the patent hatcher.
The profitable part of the business is
in plucking the feathers from the birds;
from the sale of these plumes enormous
profits arc made for the raiser, dealer
and retailer. Every seven month the
birds are blindedfolded and the feathers
clipped within two or three inches of
the roots of the quilts. A few weeks
later the dried stumps Of the quilts
are pulled,ou with tweezers. and new
feathers begin to appear. The ostrich
resents this treatment, and there are
severe contests at plucking time, the
attendants often receiving serious
hRrts from them. The male ostrich
wears his wings full Of beautiful long
plumes alternating in layers Of
jet black, snow white and a dirty
cream color. The female birds have
drab colored suits Of mixed gray and
white feathers that do not rank in
value with those of the male ostrich.
Some of the first visitors who went
out to the farms risked their lives in
the attempt to snatch a few feathers
from the birds whenever they ap-
preached the fence,aRd as this wrench
Ing out by the roots makes the new
feathers come III crooked and twisted,
the manager took pains to stop these
predatory incursions by ~eresting o
double fence. DR.. S~kettchley counts
upon this Anaheim ostrich farm being
the opening of great enterprise in
this region. According to the figures
there we're eighty birds owned and
cared for by farmers in South Africa
in 1865. In 1882 over $4,000 ostriches
were being kept, and the export of
feathers for that year was valued at
S 100000. As this country offers q
nearer market, the manager thinks
ostrich farming will prove twice as
profitable in California as in any 9TH
er, and with a large home product
pouring in upon the great marts OF
in these coming years, womankind can
look forward to q plentiful supply of
beautiful plumes, and mankind take
heart in the coming millennium of in
significant milliners' bills.
