MINING NOTES.

The Iuha River Tunnel Mining Com
pany, in Nevada county, is having its Hume
put in order, and will be ready to resume
work in a few days.
Work is progressing favorably on several
seam and lode mines in the vicinity Of
Georgetown-a number of tunnels being
driven.
Capitalists are looking at the mines in
Nevada county with view to investment
Every day new evidence is produced of the
richness of the quartz in that section of the
State.
The quartz mines in Fresno Gulch,
Shasta county, are all doing well The
Cannon-ball mill is used in many claims
The Niagara, owned by Wm. T. Coleman,
Of San Francisco, shipped $4,000 last
month.
The report of the Superintendent of the
Bonanza mines on the 10Th says of the
Crocker tunnel The north drift is in
thirty-seyen feet. The face of the drift is
in tine-lCoking quartz, showing fair milling
ore, with occasional very rich spots
Mr. Blodgett, of Silver Hill district Mon
tana Territory, has novel scheme for dis
posing of three fairly-dcveloped mines,
from which good assays are made. The
claims are TO be ratfled for s. q chance.
There are three prizes, and the drawing is
to take place at Butte.
The Winnemucca Silrer State says: d.
W. Johnson and John Rover, both practical
millmen have purchased some 10000
tons of tailingS from Booth & Co., owners
of the Arizona mine, at Unionville. The
purchasers have also bought the quartz
mills owned by Booth & Co, and Will 90 to
work Immediately to put them in proper
order to work the tailings

The celebrated Erasmus, though Il native
of Rotterdam, had such an aversion to fish
that the smell of it threw him into o fever.
Ambrose Pare had a patient who could
never see an eel without fainring. and an
other who would fall into commissions at
the sight of carp. What would have been
the effect of an electric eel on these gentle
men? Joseph Scaliger and others could
never drink milk. Gardan was disgusted
at the sight of eggs. A King of Poland and
Secretary of France bled at thenoSe when
they looked at apples. Henry III. Of
France, and many others, had a great aver

next to an impossibility to procure female
labor that is worth anything. There is Il
cause for it, and the fault is not so much
with the girls as with the custom of the
country. Years ago the "hircd girl was

She was respected, used deccntly, and al

When we Grow.

Some interesting results have been yield
ed by the investigations concerning human
growth which have been made by a conf
mittee of the British Association for the
Advancement of Science. 1t is shown that
growth is most rapid during the first five
years of life, when both sexes grow alike
the boys being little taller and heavier
than the girls. From five to ten the boys
grow a little faster than the girls but from
ten to fifteen the girls grow the faster, and
between the ages of eleven and half and
fourteen are actually taller than the boys,
while from twelve and half to fifteen and
a half they are heavier. The boys then
take the lead, growing at first rapidly, but
afterward slower, and complete their
growth at about the twenty-third year; !;
while girls grow very slowly after
fifteen, and reach their full stature at
about the twentieth year. 1t is generally
supposed that grown up people do not
increase in height, but these researches
appear to show that men gain slowly in
stature until their fiftieth year, ana they
make a more rapid increase in weight up
to the age of sixty. Statistics are too in
complete to determine the growth of
women after the age of twenty-three.
