Sending Logs Down the Sierra Nevada
Mountains.

One OF the most interesting sights
to be seen In the Sierras is the man
ner in which logs are sent down to
the valleys or river canyons from the
timber nights above. A contemporary
gives the following graphic description
of one of these scenes:
A chute Is laid from the rivers
brink up the steep mountain to the
railroad, and while we are telling 1t,
the monster logs are rusbiug, thun-
dering, flying, leaping down the de-
clivity. They come with the speed
of.a thunderbolt, and somewhat OF its
roar. A track offire and smoke fol-
low them-fire struck by their friction
with the chute logs. They descend
the seventeen hundred feet of the
chute in fourteen seconds. In doing
so, they drop seven hundred feet
perpendicalariy. They strike the
deep water with report that can be
heard a mile distant. Logs fired from
a cannon could scarcely have a great
er velocity than they have at the
foot OF the chute. The average veloc-
ity is over one hundred feet a second
throughout the entire distance, and
At the instant they leap from the
mouth their speed must be fully two
hundred feet per second. A sugar
pine log sometimes weighs ten tons.
What a missile! How the water is
dashed into the airi Like a grand
plume OF diamonds and rainbows,
the feathery spray is hurled TO the
hight of a hundred feet. 1t forms
the grandest fountain ever beheld.
How the waters foam and seelhe, and
lash against the shorel One log hav-
ing spent its force by Its mad plunge
into the deep waters, has floaied so as
TO be at right angles with the path of
the descending monsters. The mouth
OF the chute is, perhaps, IA feet above
the surface Of the water. A huge log.
hurled from the chute. clcaves the
air and alIghts on the floating log.
You know how a bullet glances, but
can you imagine a Saw-log glane,ng2
The end strikes with heavy shock.
but glides quickly past for short
distance; then n clash like the rever-
beration of artillery, the falling leg
springs vertically into he air, and
with curve like a rocket falls into
the water, a long distance from the
log it struck.

The State Board of Education,
which met last week 10 consider bids
on text books to be used in the pub
lie schools of this State for the next
four years, decided TO adopt the fol-
lowing: Harper's series of geogra-
phies to supplant Cornell's now IN
use; Swinson's series of language
lessons and grammar To supplant
Harvey's grSmmars now in use, and
Swinson's word book to supplant the
Pacific Coast speller now in use.
These new books were substituted for
the old on the basis of an even ex-
change aud lower rates guaranteed
than those now paid for similar text
books. The Board also recommend
ed for use several text books as sup
Elementary and for the higher
schools: Swett's Elocution in place of
Randalls Elocution, Reeds word
lessons, Swinton's word analysis, and
Bancroft's spelling blanks. These
books are said to be the most modern
In methods and arrangement, none
better being published in the United
States. II these are the facts, our
public schools in this change of text
books will be much the gamer in eff
ciency, and the school patrons gain
ers financially.

Rich Gold Discovery.

The recent rich discovery ofa we'll
defined quartz ledge containing a
combination OF gold aud tellurium,
made by Shearer and Raider at Mid
die Creek, "A station three miles south
Of Shasta, (Cal.), continues 10 look
very favorable and encouraging.
Workmen are now down depth of
twenty feet. The ledge is about six
feet in width and rests between we'll
defined walls of slate. The rich streak
in the ledge is from six to eighteen
inches in width, and contains COM
blnation of gold tellurium, which
goes from $1,000 to- $50, 900 10 the ton.
Enough gold and quartz have already
been taken from the lode To insure
the lucky owners a fortune. Their
confidence is so great in the extent of
the ledge that money cannot purchase
the mine. People visit the place
daily and are amazed at its richness.
1t is surely the richest discovery in
gold quartz ever made in Shasta
county. Specimens the size of hens
egg sell for over 500, being estimated
to contain that qnantity of gold

Comaiock Tigers.

People naturally feel sorry for the
little boy whose arm was SO badly
clawed by a circus tiger in Virginia
City. But this mIsadventure is moth
ing to the suffering that tigers OF other
kinds have caused on the Comstock.
There is the faro tiger, for instance.
Who can measure the anguish this
bloodthirsty aud remorseless animal
has inflicted =? He has grown old, his
teeth are dull, he Is weak from long
fasting, but still may be found at the
old stand, ready for BUSINESS. Aud
there, too, is the mining stock tiger,
The most feroclous and rapacious of
wild beasts. The tears of his victims
would make flood in sheol. The
little boy was unfortunate, but he
may think himself lucky II he es-
capes the other tigers when he grows
up.-Sacramento Bee.
