The fresh, sweet milk is curdled
with muriatic acid or spirits of salt,
and the curd cut and chopped and
manipulated in the most thorough
manner, in order to expel every par

soaked in brine of sufficient strength
to float an egg, for an hour. The
brine is then worked out, and the
curd subjected to heavy pressure in
iron molds, that give the pineapple
form to the cheese. After from four
to five hours pressing the cheese is
taken from the form and anointed
with soft butter, having as much fine
salt worked into it as it will hold.

Great Sierra Tunnel.

The Great Sierra tunnel, in Tioga
district, is still being pushed toward
the Sheepherder lode at the rate of
about 20 feet per week. From the
length of the tunnel, the alteration of
the character IN the country rock, the
change in the dip of the qualification,
and other observed mutations, it is
now quite evident that the front lode
changes its dip very materially
between the surface, or bottom Of the

should prove to be the case, an ore
channel of great width and incalcul-
able value will probably be the result.
