We hear much complaint in re-
gard to the manner In which claims
have been held and the custom that
has obtained in making locations.
This district. and all others in the
country, would be better off if in
every location there was but one in
| terest. One great bane has been in
multiplicity of partners. If one
man owned each prospect there
would be no trouble, such as now
annoy in the complication of orig
inal owners. With a mine in this
district, and perhaps as good a one
as any the district, if proven, there
can be nothing done fer the reason
that there are six owners, two of
them are here-one of them is travel
ing in the East-one is in Oregon.
and another is in the Cottonwood
country. The mine cannot be sold
for the reason that the title cannot be
made. The partners that are here
will not work it alone for fear of the
risk; and the absence of the others.
with the certainty that they must
sell the other interests at the end of
an expensive suit, the fees of which
must be paid in advance. 1t would
be better to bring the claims within
the laws of the district, or give the
discoverer the right to locate more
feet. In another respect there has
been much wrong done, in the null
tiplicity of prospects owned by one
set of men. who are termed pros
pectors for sale, Men have been in
this district who were constantly
looking for prospects last Summer.
and in some cases have put up forty
notices per day, and have only done
sufficient work to show that the
earth had been irritated near the
spot where the notice was posted.
In some cases time was too precious
to write notices. and pieces of wood
or the bark taken from limb. were
the only indications that location
had been made. In some cases such
claims have been bought off at eX
pense not slight, solely for the pur
pose of avoiding suits that would be
troublesome and expensive. In
these respects there should be a
radical change. for no men so much
suffer from them as the operative
miners who are desirous of tindinga
place where they can expend time
and muscle.

4 PrzzLE.-The following old
puzzle for the first class in spell
ing" has been revived recently in
Georgia. 4 prize was offered to amy
one who would write out the sen
tence without a mistake. and though
fortv instructors of the Georgia
youth entered the tests. the prize
still remains in the possession of the
committee who is charged with the
reward. The sentence Is as follows:

the unparalleled EN- barrassment OF a
harnessed peddler attempting to
gauge the symmetry of q peeled

The unsuccessful pedagogues of
Georgia may. however, find some
consolation for their failure when
they learn that of the many papers
giving an account of the contest, not
one has heretofore printed the sen
tence without at least one mistake.

ence to Webster, is wrong IN the

Feats OF strength performed
with the teeth are absurd; those
who indulge in them ought to be
punished like that youth who,
says DIR. Demartie, broke all his

by the upper part of the back
board to achieve that noble feat.
Another fellow, more imprudent,

Rock Yielding S51,I4G 10 the Ton.
From the Calaveras Call Chronicle, Nov. Al


Developments have recently been
made at the Gwin mine, in Lower Rich
Gulch, unparalleled in the history Of
quartz operations in this State. A
strata of rock has been discovered in
the main shaft at the depth Of 400 feet,
that for richness eclipses anything of
which we have ever heard or read. The
strangest feature in the development is,
however, that the rock recently discov-
cred so closely resembles the slate of
which the walls Of the lead are com
posed, that il has heretofore been taken
out and thrown away with other debris
from the mine. The strata mentioned
lies next to the foot wall, and is about
foot in width and thickness. In cslor
and formation it so nearly resembles
slate that it requires a close eKamina-
ton to distinguish the two from each
other. The inclination of the streak F"
differs slightly from that of the shaft
Commencing at a point near the surface
it crosses the latter diagonally, leaving
the shaft at the 4O0foot level !" By
drifting a short distance on the lead,
however, from the 500-level, the strata
will undoubtedly be struck again.


By the merest accident in the world
it was discovered that this singular de-
posit, instead of being slate, was simply
a mass of sulphurets, carrying free gold
in abundance. A portion of the rock was
brought to this town, and critically as
sayed by DR.. James Hepburn. Two and
one-half ounces yielded one hundred
and sixty-six grains Of gold; or, in other
words, at the rate Of Sj3, l40 per toni
The rock assayed was not a selected
specimen Ii was broken from a chunk
at least foot square, and is considered
a fair test Of the whole strata. The pro
prietors Of the mine are sanguine that
they will take 100000 out of the re-
Gently discovered streak between the
FIVE hundred foot level and the surface.
In fact, should this strata prove to be
one Of the lead, as it undoubtedly will,
there is no calculating the amount Of
gold that will be taken from it. IL ore
OF equal richness has ever before been
found, there is no record Of it. The
Gwin mine must now certainly be elassed
as the most valuable in the State, and
further than that, in less than a year it
viii boast more extensive machinery
than any other lead upon the coast We
shall await farther developments in ref
erence to the newly discovered strata
with impotence.

The editor of rural Ohio paper
rakes out the following chunks Of
wisdom:


"The proper time to pull hemp is
any Friday that a good Judge may
select. Castor oil beans succeed
best inthe bowels of the earth. They
will soon work their way out. The
best preparation for hops is a toad
OF two in a hill. They will fairly
make the vines jump. The usual
time to put in rye is early in the
morning. Some husbandmen, esDec-
tally those in the city, continue to
run it in at intervals of half an hour
until bedtime. The practice is only
allowable in case of a dry season.
In reaping wheat never take it by
tbe beard. It is found to go against
the Grain. BuckWheat is not healthy
food. 1t is apt to cake upon the
stomach. Corn in the ear is apt to
to effect the hearing. 1t is apt to
make the voice husky. When dealt
out as army TatlOnS Ine kerneI shOuld
ALWAYS be served first and then the
men privately. Never plant your pO-
tatoes early. 1t is the early potato
that gets the worm. 1t is up hill
work with them after that. To be
certain Of the right kind Of squashes
compare them with your head. In
adopting this rule 1 first mistOok
pumpkins for squashes, but by con
tinued, careful comparison, I soon
learned to detect the difference.
But for some new beginners 1t re-
quires great caution. In making
cider out of apples 1 found 1t
