THE LUMBER INDUSTRY.
How it is Being Developed in the El
Dorado Mountains.
Operations of the American River Land
and Lumber Company-Other
Enterprises.

FL Dorado County has a source of
| future wealth in her pine forests that bids
fair to overshadow, in the coming years,
that of her mining days, and to rank
with the fruit industry that is now being
| developed in her foothill section. The
only wonder is that these magnificent
forests of sugar-pine have so long re-
| manned undeveloped. But operations
have at last been commenced on a scale
that will soon bring the old mining
county into note as lumber-producing
section. Referring to what is now being
done there, the Placerville Democrat of
Saturday says:
The season for numbering in the noun
tainS has opened in good shape, and now
times are lively in the hills, with the
prospect of an exceptionally brisk sea-
son, with the employment of a large
number Of men, and considerable benefit
to the county. The main work done by
the American River Land and Lumber
Company has been confined to putting
their big log drive in the river and start
ing it down to Folsom.
This work is now practically COM
pleted, so far as putting the logs in the
river is concerned, and soon the company
will begin operations in the timber for
the next seasons drive, as they have
already demonstrated the practicability
OF floating logs down the river from their
mountain camp to the boom at Folsom.
Ell DORADoS LUMBER COMPANY.
At the El Dorado Mill and Lumber
| Company's camp, near DogtOwn, every
| thing is booming. The Saw-mill started
| up on Thursday last, with a full crew of
men and good supply of logs on hand.
! The company now have seventy-five
men at work, and are turning out 80, 900
hauled to the head Of the chute, for de-
livery to the mill, mostly by donkey
| engine and the traction engine that was
taken up there recently. These two en-
! glnes work admirably in the timber, and
have proven decided success.
With donkey-engine of 100 horse
! power, and tracti0n-engine of half that
! power, the amount of work ACCOMPLISHED
is equal to that of small army of horses
and cattle. The new steam dry-kiln, ca
pable of holding 600 feet of boards. is
in full operation, or will be next week.
This kiln is l00X30 feet, with three tracks,
upon which the cars loaded with lumber
are run, and after drying are run out to
the pilingyards, thus requiring but one
handling of the lumber before hauling.
The calculation Of the company is to
! turn out an average Of 10000 feet of lum-
| Der per day, which is the capacity of their
dry-kiln, and keep this record up for the
! entire season. We understand this COM
| pany has an immense amount OF lumber
at Diamond Springs already, from last
/ years saving, and will at once commence
hauling this years cut.

OTHER OPERATORS.

The other sawmills in the county are
making preparations to start UP at once
Blair's mill will be running by the first
OF next week, the cattle having been sent
up this week, and the necessary prelimi-
nary work about the mill done in readi-
ness to start up.
Bryant'S, Davenport and the Sly Park
mills will soon be in full blast, and teams
are already at work hauling out some of
last years cut.
On the north side OF the county one or
two OF the mills have already started up,
and the others will soon be in operat;on'
Altogether, the season will be the live
Hest ever known in the timber of FL Do
RADIO County, and a small army of men
will be kept busy, with a large number
OF teams, during the entire summer.
making times lively in some portions of
the county.

A Hermit with Millions.

The coming novelist who will dissect
American character .and hold it up to
the wonder Or admiration of the world
will find something worth studying in
the life of the hermit of New York and
Newport who has just died and left
behind him the $10,000,000 he ached to
take away with him beyond the grave.
For ten years Edmund 81. Schermer-
horn had lived in a literally palatial
mansion at Newport, with his gates
locked against all but his physician,
surrounded only by servants, and living
in parsimony which contrasted strangely
with his once spendthrift ways. In my
boyhood had heard of him as the gay
est of gay young men about town, and
afterward as entertaining the fashiona-
BILE world at lavish expense in his
Twenty-third street residence.
Then, after awhile, he wearied Of So
cial pleasures, drew more and more
within his cell, became recluse and
scholar, and finally grew utterly unso-
cial. A bachelor of seventy-five when
he died on Thursday, he belonged to
one of the oldest of New York families.
Why the wild and luxurious bachelor
leader of society became transformed
into the unsocial recluse is one of the
secrets at which his friends can only
guess-they allege disappointment in
love-and which the novelist can spell
out to suit himself. Philadelphia Rec

The Bursting of a Big Wheel.

The bursting of the great fly wheel
or perhaps more properly the driving
wheel-in one of the mills of Manches-
ter, N. H., illustrates the ever present
danger hidden in the use of modern ma
chinery. There does not appear to have
been carelessness or even an accident
which usual caution or foresight could
have prevented. The automatic COVER
nor regulating the supply of steam to
the engine seems to have become clogged,
the engine suddenly speeded up and the
great wheel was set whirling at pace
that tore it into pieces by the enormous
centrifugal force thus generated, scatter
ing the entire building over the country
round about and crushing and wounding
the work people. This wheel was forty
feet in diameter, with a face nine feet
wide, weighing ffty-five tons and turn
ing, when run at the usual and safe rate,
sixty revolutions per minute.-Boston

To Send Flowers by Telegraph.

To Send Flowers by Telegraph.
Half dozen florists met at the Sher-
man house recently and tackled the task
of circling the earth with flowers. That
is, they planned scheme which pro-
vides for chain Of correspondents
throughout the world to act together as
one concern for the purpose Of executing
orders given in any part of the globe for
anything in floral arrangement from a
tiny buttonhole bouquet to an elaborate
bank of roses. In order to effect this
purpose an organization known as the
Florists International Telegraph Deliv-
cry association was started in Canada
last August
A majority of the board of directors
do business in the United States. The
gathering was attended by Fl. s. Lie
brecht, of New York; G. B. Whitnall, of
Milwaukee, and Frank Huntsman, of
Cincinnati, all three members of the
board of directors. q. L. Grant and
Joseph Curran represented the Chicago
florists. "Our purpose is," said Mr.. Lie
brecht, "to make it easy for man in
Chicago, New York or Timbuctoo to
convey a bouquet to lady in any part
of the world, with lightning speed, with
out starting it from the point where he
himself may be.
"For instance, take person here in
Chicago having friend arriving or leav-
ing on an ocean steamer in New York.
He simply has to walk into the store of
our agent here and give his order. The
order is at once telegraphed to another
agent of the association In the place
where the flowers are to be delivered,
and there you are. We have come to
Chicago to perfect our rules and appoint
an agent. Chicago Herald.

Truck Loads of Money.

Did you ever see more money than you
could carry? Comparatively few people
have, but such sight may be often wit
messed in the lower end Of the city. As
an incident to draw crowd the loading
of truck with silver is very potent. A
custom house truck stopped in front of
one of the Broadway safe deposit insti-
tutions yesterday and men wheeled out
handcarts loaded with silver bars which
others tossed into the truck. They looked
very pretty-the bars, l mean-aud
crowds of people stopped during the pro-
cess and passed remarks upon their
weight and value.
It wasn't money, of course, but it will
be soon after Uncle Sam gets possession
of it, and very snug fortune it will
make, too, in silver dollars.-New York

Lord Tennyson's stay at Aldworth is
now drawing toward close, but he will
not be returning to Farringford for some
three or four weeks. He has not for
some years been SO strong and well as he
is at this moment, and there is no doubt
(as I heard friend Of his remark) that
the regular periodical changes from the
mild climate of the Isle Of Wight to the
bracing air of a country lying 800 feet or
more above the sea level have had much
to do with his amazing vigor of body
and mind. He has as usual been con-
stantly entertaining visitors from his
first reaching Aldworth, the latest being

Singular Ocean sponges.
A singular ocean sponge is the glass
rope, which sends down into the mud a
coiled wisp of filaments as thick as knit
ting needle. The latter opens out into a
brush, fixing the creature in place after
the manner of screw pile. Still an
other remarkable sponge is found in the
deep water off the Lofoden islands. It
spreads out into thin circular cake,
surrounded by what looks like fringe
Of white floss silk. Yet another curl
osity is the "eupecte1la" sponge Of the
Philippines, which lives embedded to its
lid in the mud and supported by a love-
ly frill. in Washington stat.

Don't he afraid OF fresh air, but avoid

In selecting your winter undcrclothing,
choose that which is warm aud yet more or

Take of your ovorcoat when you enter q
warm place, whether office or private
dwelling, even II your visit is to last only
three minutes.
II you catch cold or develop cough, get
rid OF II at once. This is better than feel
ing "bluc" and thinking that pneumonia
or consumption has marked you as a
victim.
The best remedy for cough or cold

water will impart generous warmth TO the
whole body and keep of the diseases OF the
season.
Don't forget that only pure whlskey

Whiskey has the strongest recommends
