A Well of Vinegar

Some miners have been sinking a shaft
between Bear River and Live Oak. The re-
gion has received but little attention in the
way of prospecting for mines. The miners
in sinking the new shaft have had no trou-
bic with water-in TACT, the ground has
been unusually dry. few days ago, how
ever, a thin stratum OF some kind Of damp
rock was struck ard there were some evil
dences of effervescence In this. Passing
through this thin stratum the miners came
a small stream Of what was supposed to
be common weter. but on closer investigs-
ton IL proved to be a strong acid. Come OF
this acid has been brought TO town and has
been examined by experts, and thsy pro
nouLce il to be acetic and as strong as the
celtic acid Of commerce. In short, vine
gar mine has been struck. The effsrveseuce
observed in the thin stratum OF damp rock
is accounted for by the action Of the acid
on some alkali contaiRed 10 this thin stat
um, A stump has been made, IN which the
acid is left to collect, aud ali further work
has been stopped for the present.
One OF the miners insists that the find ID

the watershed there slopes towards the riv'

orchards 10 wards the top OF the watershed
and that for years great abundance OF fruit

that the Juice Of these apples has undergone

In the report in last evenings
Deerest NeUS OF the Legislature,
they got things SO mixed up that
the members could not recognize
their own doings, members from
this county getting credit for what
other members did, and Mr.. Dusen.
berry was made to say what he
would not say, knowing what he
does about parliamentary rules; while
the report of the Council commen-
ces like report of ward meeting.
What Is il? Does the NeaDS want to
belittle these young members or
confuse them, or has it no reporter :?
The excuse of going to press in the
evening is no excuse. II they can.
not get correct report OF to-day, I
must advise them to wait until they
can get a correct report from THE
HERALD next day. merely make
this suggestion in justice to the
young members, as the reading OF
the Nea0s' report by the old members
would only make them laugh. The
Chronicle had things mixed up also,
but that does not matter, as only a
few boys read that paper anyway.
