it has sufficient elasticity and durability
to stand the extremes of temperature
without becoming deterioriated. This is
no mere theory, as can be proved by sn
examination of pavements laid in Santa
Cruz nine or ten years ago; and we can
show q sample in our Office of material
that was subjected to the heaviest traffic
in this city for eighteen months on Com
mercial street, and which upon being
taken up was as fresh in all its vital
characteristics as when laid down.
As to the foundation OF the bituminous
paving, there are two sets OF specifica-
tions in use in this city; one of which is
for Portland cement concrete six inches
in thickness, which has been laid on
Main, Spring and Commercial streets.
The other is for foundation OF broken
rock eight inches in thickness, laid in
separate layers and rolled, and with two
inches Of bituminous rock surfacing. In
our opinion the latter specification will
make durable pavement, the foundation
having been thoroughly rolled with
our fifteen ton steel steam roller of the
best make, and the layers of rock having
been rolled with the same engine. The
preparation of the foundation is of course
very important point, and our COM
pany has had much to contend with in
having the ground excavated and tun-
nelled for the purpose of making gas,
sewer and water connections just before
the pavement has been laid; but so far
as our work is concerned, it has been
done strictly according to the specifica-
tions and will stand comparison with
any other work of the kind on the coast
and elsewhere. Chemical analysis has
proved that the San Luis Obispo bitumi-
nous rock is of almost precisely the same
quality as the famous bituminous rock ot
Neufchatel, excepting that our material
contains larger proportion of bitumen.
The company has deposits extensive
enough to furnish the market of the
world, and if the question of transporta-
tion could only be solved, would be able
to lay it's pavement in front of the off.

THE PAVING QUESTION.
what the other Side Has to Say In
the Premises.

EDITORS HERALD-I have read the
contribution which appeared in your pa
per this morning upon the subject o.
street paving and how it should be con
structed, by Edward F. G. Griffith, etc.,
etc., etc. 1t is not necessary. to discuss
the evident truisms upon the subject oi
street paving, which are set out with
some prolixity, and only wish to refute
certain alleged statements of fact which
apply to the paving done by this COM
pany on Fort street.
Your contributor is in error in saying
that Fort street is paved with asphalt.
He is also in error in saying that the
pavement is laid on few stones laid
down on the surface. The paving Of
Fort street, Spring street, Commercial
street, Sixth street, and Main street
from Third to Ninth, has all been done
with bituminous lime rock, quarried
from the mines OF this company in San
Luis Obispo county, and the material is
entirely different from the composition
which passes by the name of asphalt
pavement. Bituminous rock is natural
mineral product, and the only treat
ment to which it is submitted is its re-
duction by the use of superheated steam,
after which it is rolled with hot rollers,
and makes the best and most durable
pavement that has ever been laid. If
your contributor had taken the trouble
to inform himself upon few facts in re-
Rsrd to this material, which it would
have been very easy for him to do on
application at the company's Office, he
would have been afforded every facility
for ascertaining facts which are already
known to the leading scientific men OF
fhis country, and could have seen the
analysis of the material made BY the
most competent assayists in the United
States. II is not our object to lay pave
mont upon which you cannot make an
impression with pen knife, or one AS
pavement becomes slippery in vet
weather and is highly dangerous. The
advantage Of the bituminous rock Is that

The Outlook.

j. j. Valentine, General manager ol
Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Express, has is
sued the company's annual statement of
precious metals produced in the States
and Territories west of the Missouri
river (including British Columbia, and
receipts by express from the West Coast
States of Mexico) during 1888, which
shows aggregate products as follows
Gold, $50, ,46S, ,052; silver, $54, 4,34S, ,22O;
copper, $l8,261, 400; lead, $11, ,263, $50.
Total gross result, $114,34l, ,592. The
circular says:
As stated repeatedly, the facilities af-
forded for the transportation of bullion,
ores and base metals, by the extension
Of railroads into mining districts, increase
the difficulty of verifying the reports Of
the products from several important local
tiles. Especially is this the case in the
reports from Colorado and Montana. And
the general tendency is to exaggeration
when the actual values are not obtainable
from authentic sources; but the aggre-
gate result as shown herein we think may
be relied on with reasonable confidence
as approximately correct.
The output by States and Territories
is given as follows, and includes gold,
silver ores and base bullion: California,
$12, 1853, ,468; Nevada, $12 ,S05 sos; Ore
gon, SOL 500; Washington, $124 112 ;
Alaska, $S2O,0O0; Idaho, $685. 900 ;
Montana, $32, ,376, 900; Utah, 81, ,557, ,241 ;
Colorado, $26, ,755 500; New Mexico, $3,-

Professor Dowlen's Latest Report
ON she Pest.
EDITORS HERALD-The past weeks re-
port, viz (2lst), of Mr.. Dowlen is so i'm
portant that herewith submit portion
of it for publication:
can extended search, through guam
tity of vine cuttings, has shown that q
small proportion amongst lot OF Berger
canes has become diseased, and of a
series of three Mataso canes, planted in
the experimental hot-house, two we're
found to be diseased for about half their
length, beginning at the upper end.
These canes had been selected as look
ing particularly healthy when put in.
attention is drawn to the necessity
existing for every scrap of cane and leaf
to be destroyed by burning, as the exam
ination of scraps of cane and
spurs taken from pruned vines dur
ing the week has shown that the
fungus, which is so plentiful in many
cases in the cuticle at the present time,
bears large number of fruiiing capsules,
filled with ripe or ripening spores. The
destruction of these is of decided i'm
portance. Placing in the rubbish is a
bad practice, as the spores are not
killed by the process, but remain alive
in or on the ground, to be blown upon
the young shoots at the first opportunity,
where, of course, they would at once
germinate, and continue the work of de-
struction."

do admire a beautiful building or beautiful

the more noble, grand, graceful and impos-

to me that the most suitable and appropriate
use of the old State House would have been
to conceal the uncouth part of the new reci-

looked in vain for the wonderful beauties OF
that building. To be sure, the carving and

FOUNDERS DAWN MILFORD.

An Industrial Parade Will be a Notable
Feature ofthe Celebration - Indica-
lions OF an Increasing Public Spirit
and Enterprise. ....
Founders day is to be duly celebrated in
Milford on August 2S by an industrial parade
and ceremonies in keeping with the occasion.
ternoon sum of money was voted to defray
the expenses of the same. There was large
gathering, and great deal of enthusiasm
was manifested In it's favor by the prominent
business men of the place. The motion to
appropriate the money was made by William
torney George N. Gum and others advocated
its passage and the money was appropriated.
The matter has been under consideration for
quite while, and the fact that Founders
day was to be observed by celebration has
gone far and near. The objections that were
made to the appropriation were that it
was unwise to take the money from the
town treasury for that purpose, but rather to
raise 1t by subscription. II was replied that
IL would be o great advantage to the
whole town, and the sum was very small
one that each taxpayer would have to pay
Milford has gone ahead the past season; en-
tsrprise and thrift are to be noticed, proper

The article in Mondays COURIER In rel a.
ton to the memorial in the town and the
way 1t was secured was not quite correct.
The vote to build the memorial bridge was
taken in special meeting, one of the pur-
poses of which was to consider the matter as
1t was In the call of the meeting. The reso-
luton for its adoption and the building of
the bridge were read and reread, discussed
and passed unanimously, when there was a
larger gathering of the taxpayers of the town
present.
The memorial committee is composed of
some of the most prominent men of the town
such as: Charles A. -Tomlinson, Phineas s.
Bristol, Nathan G.. Pond, VIM. Cecil Durand,
and Charles II. Trowbridge. They had done
good work and one that 10 a credit to the
town and will be lasting memorial. In
most every community there are those who
are opposed to any progressive movement
and are bound to talk and especially is this
the case when anything out of the ordinary
run of events takes place. Such has been
the case here and If the breath wasted in
talking against the Memorial bridge had
been expended to right town affairs years
ago 1t would be the model town of the
State
