Gold By the Ton.

One of the richest strikes known IN
the mining history of California was
made three miles south of this place last
saturday. a pockctof quartz of almost
unparalleled richness was found less
than one hundred feet from the surface,
in which was contained from $4,000 Ia
500, 900, and about two tons i'm uuan-
tity. Much of this might be termed
chunks of gold instead of collaborating
quartz. Some of these pieces of solid
gold were about as heavy as "A man could
lift from the ground. The largest
piece was an oval, sixteen by twenty-five
inches, and six or seven inches thick.
This gold is almost black and of the
same character as the former rich
strikes found in the same mine. We
have no doubt that this is the richest
find of gold ever known in the United
States at one time,
During Friday ton of this gold
heighted metal was taken out. 1t is
not so rich rs the gold streak taken out
some time ago, but there is vastly moro
of 1t. The value of this bonanza is es-
timated mt from S50,000 to 800, 600.
The ledge is five feet wide, and the whole
face of II was held together, as it were,
by spikes of solid gold Altogether
5000 pounds have been taken from this
bunch of ore. and the end is not vet.
The very rich streak from which this
mass of free gold has been taken ranges
from an inch or SO up 10 twenty inches
in width. The previous seam varied

ment by which speech is automatically
reproduced rs soon "a il Is uttered.
A small apparatus Is placed I'm the
mouth OF the speaker--in contact with
the roof of his mouth, his tongue and
lips-and ON being connected with AN
electromagnetic registrating apparatus
the sounds are committed To paper IL
is constructed IN such manner as not
10 cause any Inconvenience 10 the
speaker neither is il necessary that the
voice should be raised as il produces o
whisper rs exactly as shout; the only
condition is Il correct and dis
tinet articulation. According TO the in
yentOr'S calculation, il will be possible
to write four or five times rs fast by
means of the glosSograph ns has
hitherto been possible even by the
quickest writer, At first sight il APP
pears aS II this invention was but an im-f
provcmcnt upon Edison's photograph,
II is, however, of much older date.
1t rests, unlike the former, ON an ncous.
tic principle, and does not reproduce
the sounds in micrOscopical form.
The chief obstacles To the introduction
OF the glossograph will bc the difficulty
in deciphcring the characters. but it is
not impossible that with the help of IA
second automatic apparatus the charac-
tiers produced by the glossograph may
be translated into our common type

doubtless appear strange, but in these
