Disclosing OF THE DEBRIs.-A gentle
man who came down from Cherokee Flat
yesterday was speaking of the manner in
which the Spring Valley Hydraulic Gold
Mining Company, of that place, Louis
Glass, superintendent, disposes of their
debris. There are two restraining dams
within about six miles of the mine which
hold the heavier portion of the debris and
the latter is then carried to a canal, 400
feet wide, which begins near the Oroville
and Chico wagon road. and runs about
forty miles down into the tules west of the
Marysville ButteS, where the company has
control of sixteen miles of tule land, upon
which the debris is emptied, none of it 60
ing into the river. The canal crosses the
railroad between Nelson and Biggs stations
1t has cost the company in the neighbOr-
hood of 500, 900 to provide this system and
keep ii in operation. Owing to the width
OF the canal the debris has not been carried
along as rapidly as desired, and much ex-
pense has been incurred in keeping the
canal from filling up. To remedy this the
company has had built Il dredger of the
Menge patent, such as is now being used
by the Glasgow Reclamation Company,
near Stockton, and ii will be ready to COM
mence operations in a day or two. 1t will
lift the earth ont of the canal and place it
on the bank, thus deepening the canal and
building leyees at the same time. By this
system II IS estimated that the debris can
be handled for two and half cents per
yard, whereas heretofore it has cost about
eighteen cents yer yard. The dredger will
operate east OF the railroad track. If other
hydraulic companies took as much pains
~ Il HI
would not be the present complaint against
them.

NATURAL CuRIosITIEs. - Messrs. Irwin
and Shaffer, brakemen on conductor Nor
den's train, on the Northern road, while
doing some switching at Arbuckle few
days ago, saw and captured a little swift,
which is quite a curiosity, because of its
having two tails, of nearly equal length
and size. 4 glance at the little creature
leads one TO believe that in the economy of
nature only so much material IS set apart
for a swift's tail, and if he desires to have
two tails he must be content to have each
the curiosity have left him al the drug
store on the southeast corner of Second and
+ streets, where he luxuriates in a vase
full of sand in company with two tree
toads. He shows even more tondness than
the latter for burying himself in the sand
completely. In case in the same window
are two chameleon lizards from Arizona,
which get upon a rock when the sun shines
in upon them in the afternoon, and are
then really handsome in their changing
coiorS.
