The American River Lumber Com
pany's Mammoth Boom.
The Folsom Telegraph learns that the
big chute which has been under course of
construction by the American River
Land and Lumber Company during the
past year is nearing completion rapidly.
About 500 feet remain to be done. The
chute is 5000 feet long. and the top of the
same is ZOO feet higher than it is at the
bottom. Logs thirty inches thick are
used in its construction. There are seven
OF them-One forming the bottom and
three on each side, making a V-shaped
flume Of it. Among the cribhing that
has been built is one place over Slab
Creek. 200 feet long and fifty feet high.
This is built up of solid logs. placed one
on top of the other. In this pile of logs
there has been an opening left for the
water of the creek named TO flow through.
This opening or waterway is twenty teet
high and ten feet wide, and ali the water
will go through it easily.
The work will be finished some time in
February, and as soon as possible there
after the logs will be put into the chute
and slid down to the river. That every
thing will go on all right, the rocks and
other impediments to the progress of the
logs on their way to the boom have been
blasted out and removed from the river,
and that stream has been converted into
big t1ume. The experience that was
had by the company in their first drive
has been taken advantage of by them.
and they are certain that the logs will
come down in excellent condition and in
short order.
The booms above the prison have been
strengthened to receive them and hold
them, and in short time the erection of
buildings, containing saws and machin-
cry to transfer them into lumber, will
have to be commenced.

Bishop Fitzgerald breaches Eloquently
TO a Crowded Congregation.
O. P. Fitzgerald, the resident Bishop of
the NJ. E. Church South for the Pacific
Coast, yesterday preached at the Seventh
street Methodist Church TO @ crowded
congregation an eloquent and appropri-
ate sermon.
He has lately returned from Tennessee,
where he has been editorially employed
on the national church organ at Memphis.
From 1867 to 1871 he was State Superin-
tendent of Public instruction of this
State and met many old and warm friends
here yesterday.
The church has been thoroughly reno
waited inside, having had new heater
put in and the interior newly carpeted
and frescoed, the general effect being
blue, silver and pink, the total cost being
s., ,250. Over the arch in the rear of the
pulpit is the sentence, Holiness becom-
eth thine house, o, Lord, forever" By a
singular coincidence, Bishop Fitzgerald,
not knowing of this, had chosen the same
words for the text Of his sermon.

A Horse Twenty-One Hands High and
Only Three Years Old
A remarkable equine curiosity was at
the railroad corral yesterday. on his way
in boX-car to the Midwinter Fair. 1t
was a three-year-old colt which was
raised in Minnesota, and beside which an
ordinary dray-horse would look like a
young colt. He is twentyone hands, or
elghty-four inches, high, and large in
proportion, measuring nearly fifteen feet
from his nose to the end of his tail. lie
has fallen off in flesh during his journey,
so that he weighs only about |, $50 pounds.
His sire was Norman horse and his
mother an ordinary mare weighing about
l,050 pounds. He mad brother about a
year younger which was turned out to
pasture by its owner and starved 10 death.
The claim is made. but would probably
be hard to substantiate, that he died be-
cause his legs were SO long that he could
not reach down to the short grass in the
pasture.
