In 1855, at Spanish Dry Diggings, El Dorado county, California, some pros. pectors sank to bedrock, distance of 3 or 4 feet, and found nothing. Three Missourians, who had just reached the state after trip across the plains, came to the spot and dug six inches deeper and found rich diggings. Dur ing the summer they took out 6O,OOOS apiece and two of them went back home rich men. The third gam bled and drank his money away, thinking he could strike another pile when he wanted to do so. He never did so, however, and is now in his old age eking out scanty subsistence in a sheep herders' camp in Tulare county. M. & E. Review.

The investigations of the geological survey have brought to light facts about the enormous quantity of un- derground water which are calculated to astonish the ordinary reader. Be-
 low depth of about six miles it is be- lieved that no water can exist in the rocks because the pressure probably closes all pores; but above that level the amount of underground water is estimated to be equal in quantity to one.third of all the water contained in all the oceans. If poured over the land surface of the globe the under ground water would be sufficient to cover it to uniform depth of from 5000 to $500 feet.-M. & E. Review.
