MINING JOURNAL.
Saturday Morning, June 13, 1885.

WITHOUT assuming to advise the
Council, for it frequently appears to
have mind of its own, we venture
the hint that a little slow haste in
action when ordinances of years
standing are impeached, would not
only be in the line of safety but would
look better.
The faw-hunters do not know
everything, and aggressiveness and
pertinacity ON their part generally
indicate that triumph over the
people through the Council is more
to them than any mere matter of So
called justice.
1t is the Councils privilege in all
such cases to take time enough to
reflect that all the backbone of the
town is not moving around under the
suspenders of compliments.
Respectful presentations of griev-
ances should be accorded respectful
hearing; at the same time the mute
eloquence of the many who suffer
without complaining should not pass
without consideration.

1T is estimated that between 1000
and 5000 men were thrown out of
employment by the shutting down of
the iron mills in Cincinnati the LIST
instant, the mill owners apparently
little disturbed by the situation.
They say they could not make money
if their men would work for nothing,
and there would be nothing but
steady loss if they continued to run
under the scale demanded by the
men.

Destroying the California Forests.
San Francisco Chroucle.l


The redwood, unlike all other confers,
propagates itself principally by suckers
from the parent stem. When patriarch
dies a thousand young trees, so 10 speak,
spring from his loins, the most vigorous sur.
viving. Nearly every cluster of trees ia ar
ranged in a circle, the diameter being some.
times of much as forty feet, indicating the
former existence Of much larger trees than
the present. perhaps equal to the sequoia of
the Sierra Nevada. II will readily be per-
ceived that this form of propagation is vastly
slower than in the case of the forests of the
Sierra Nevada, where millions of young
pines succeeded the scattering trees destroyed
by the miners, often numbering hundreds to
the square rod. If any care was exercised
in the preservation of the redwoOds not large
enough for lumber, the present quantity of
growing timber might be maintained, but the
lumbermen make 1t point to " work that
class out" cutting the timber all away in
one season, as the skid road is usually de-,
stroyed by the winter rains. Fire is called
upon TO finish the destruction, as the brush
and small timber are much in the way of
loggers, and the ground Is often left bare,
with only the blasted and blackened stumps
to indicate the former sylvan growth. The
evils Of this destruction are many, among
which are the want of timber by the future
generations; the exposure of the unprotected
soil to the wash Of winter rains, producing
slides and gradual removal of the produc.
tive soil to the valleys below inability to
the naked soil TO retain the necessary mois
ture for the growth of trees and the supply
for perennial springs, and the consequent
destruction to farms on the plains below by
the sudden rise Of streams, followed by a
corresponding decrease in the summer flow,
leaving dry bed where once flowed peren-
nial brook, and, finally, by causing that ter
rible aud destructive phenomenon, a (" cloud
burst" unknown in well-wOoded country.

Keeping Wines.

Wine may bs kept for various periods,
but good ordinary wine Is never better than
at three or four years old, though II may
keep sound for twenty years. tits now very
difficult to get pure wine. Water is often
added at the time of pressing equal to the
quantity of wine aud fsrmentsd with II /;
thus the two becoms blended, and pure alco-
hol added gives the strength. People used
to pure wine can detect at once any adhltera-
tion. Once we added something to our own
wine. There had been very abundant
crop of grapes, owing to an unusual amount
Of rain having fallen when the grapes were
swelling. The amount Of wine was more
than ne-third above the average, and though
clear and pure It seemed weak. We thought
II could not stand hot summer, aud con-
suited local authority, who recommended
bottle of brandy, or may be two, TO bs
added to each cask Of about forty gallons.
The advice was followed, and the wine was
spoiled +; that IL to say, the pure taste Of
wine was gone, although it remained per
fectly sound. II was no pleasure to drink
II, aud We consigned IL to the dOmestics. A
small cask that Had not been doctored or for
titled kept perfectly we'll, and turned out an
excellent wine. The best wine comes from
high ground, but quantity gives way TO
quality. Stony ground often old quarries
produces high quality of wine bright,
light, and wholesome. In the plains below
You have quantity, but coarse and heavy
wine and strong manuring only Increases
this defect. Hillsides, with southern as
pect, are the best sites for vineyards.

Drunken Boys.

A. pen dipped in fires of indignation
could not fifty describe recent scene
enacted near the Jerome Park Race
Course, New York City. Numerous
boys are employed in the racing stables
as jockeys, and are as rule, growing
up in absolute ignorance of everything
good. Their whole life is with the
horses, and amid the vicious associa-
tons that cluster about their stunted
experience. A writer in the american
describes party of five little jockeys
whom he came upon in a roadside inn,
near the place referred to above, play
ing pool for the drinks, which was in
variably whisky. They were between
ten and fifteen years of age, all drunk.
No one interfered in the disgraceful sit
uation, but as the writer says, with bit
ter sarcasm: 1.-The scene was much too
funny to be disturbed. The blasphemy
was so piquant when uttered by smooth
lips, the coarse jests so much more di-
verting than those of men, and the
drunkenness so jolly because the in
ebriates were callow. A box was set
for lad to stand on in attempting a
shot He missed the ball, lost his bal
ance and fell under the table. That
raised a roar of laughter, so comical
was it to see a ten year old sot. ~
