Giant Trees In California.

The fame of the "big trees" OF Califor-
mia is world wide, but they are not, as
many who have have never visited the
Slope suppose, scattered all over the Gold
en- State and in plain view Of every rail-
road station between Salt Lake City and
San Francisco. Neither were they known
TO the first settlers who braved the dangers
OF trip round the Horn, or the greater
dangers of an overland journey TO the
new Eldorado. The first white man who
is known to have agreed upon the sylvan
monarchs was trapper by the name Of
Dowd, who accidentally discovered what
is now known as the Calaveras Grove, In
1852.
After the Calaveras Grove, which In in
the county OF the same name, the only
other considerable growths OF them are
IN Mariposa county, where in an areo two
miles square there are APT OF these mon
ster trees from 275 TO $40 feet ir. heigh5
and from rs to 40 feet in diameter, and
another grove known as the Fresno Grove,
which contains some 900 trees, the large
81 feet In diameter. Placer county, fifty
miles north of Calaveras, also has a small
grove Of these giant redwoods. The
largest tree in the Caiaveras Grove is about
$50 feet high and measures IS feet in di-
ameter six feet above the ground. "Tae
Grizzly Giant" the prize of Mariposa
county, is 93 feet in diameter at the
ground, and "a feet five yards higher ny.
Just think of it'll A tree that would
make a square block Of wood as large rs
the average st. Louis building lot! Their
leaves are swl-shaped needles, and the
cones which grow upon them (these trees
are coniferous) are as big as two gallon
Jugs, being IN all particulars almost
counterparts OF the common pine cones.
The Grizzly Giant has the greatest cir
cumferencc OF any tree now known to
exist. There are but two trees in tne
world taller than Mariposa's $50 foot
prize taker. Ihey are of the "blue gum'e
variety, are 460 feet in height and may :

the proposition will be ratished.
The date of the primaries will be set
