There Is much to sec , of course that li latgely technical In the way of specla ort > Hmicos and Intricate machinery , which np pc-als moat dkcctly to men who are Intcreslei In their practical working , but In every Jn- atatico tlic exhibits will yrove Instructive to the average spectator whoso knowledge o mining affairs has been octulicd | by readinc , < ind hearsay rather than b ) actual obser vance Uvttjborty In o vague way Knows what Is meant by hydraullckkiK , although compara- tlvol ) few pcraonnjiuvo had the oruortunlly to watch the opoiaflons by which large bodies of earth are torn down from the mountain Bides ami washed nvvay by powerful fctrcams of water. And jet hydraulic mining was Uio only mc.ins of extracting gold from the cartl that was known to California miners for the first four ) oirs after the discovery of Ilia .vollow metal In the state. It was cheap OIK expeditions and was the "poor man's waj lor miny ) cars otter the rich quartz lodes wore op"ned. It was a hvpj thought that occurred to the manage IB of the mining fair when they con ceived t'.ie Idea of reproducing on an elaborate biMlo the gnut North Blo mlleld mine The entire westtui portion of the gilltry In the tmlllc < i h < is becm made Inlo the semblnnco ol u mountain scone In Nevada county where the gravel Is being washed down by the streams of water pouring with terrific force from the glints In the background the stee , > hills rise above the narrow gulches The face of the water-worn cliffs has been washed clean of the dep Ma of soil and gravel until the bedrock lies bare nul smooth UIJAL MINING SCKNfi. To give the scene rcallt ) great lines of heavy black pipe have been laid across the locks and In the foreground two huge oast- lion no77los , Known as monitors , are ills- churglng streams of water ngilnst the op- 1/oslng banks The monitors , which are about ten feet long , rcsemblo pieces of nitlllery , and the torrents which pour from thorn ant shot under enormous pressure Iho material which Is torn from the high banks IF carried back 1 > > the flow of water into long lines of slu < o boxes , three feet vvldo anil two fei't deep , that are wived with blocks oil wood which are known as "rillles " Into these catching plices Is thrown the quicksilver , which forms an amalgam with the freed gold. Tim whole effect of the scene of the mlnu Is most realistic and Is true to life In every detail It becomes the more In teresting when It Is remembered that the North Illoomfleld mine , which lies between thu south and middle forks of the Yuba among thu rugged foothills of the Sierra , has been worked continuously for more than twout-live jears The company owns 1,533 acres of land lying airing the course of the river , but so far only . ! " > ( ) acres of that area have been washed away. Aboiit G.OOO lineal feet ol the old channel , which Is from 400 to COO feet wide , has been cleared away , the ) leld of gold from tins enormous amount of dirt averaging In the neighborhood of $1 000 per day The bedrock with its cover ing of gold-bearing gravel Is hurled beneath HOO feel of subsequent deposits , nil of which must bo washed away before the pay dirt ran be reached To provide the w itor neces- sai ) for the attainment of these results the company was first obliged to construct a dam across the mouth of a valley high up In the Sierra , forming a reservoir r > ! 0 nruu In extent , which holds as much water us is consumed by the city of San Francisco In eight ) cars. The ditch which carries Ihli water to North Dloonillold Is forty-five miles long , 01 half as long again us the Croton aqueduct The original cost of thus biinglng water to the in I no was $710,000 , while to Keep the dams , ditches , flumes and pipes in order Involves an annual expense of $15,000 EXHIBITS OP ouis.

I-AUULOUS HICHNKSS The dozen or in ere great gold-producing counties have entered Into un eager compe tition to outdo each other In the display of the wealth of their rich mines.

Cal , Teb. 0 ( Special ) Santa Cruz county has a hermit , one who Is styled by the people who reside near his abode the "Laurel Hermit " This name Is chosen , as ho resides three miles from Laurel station , on the narrow gauge road , fourteen miles from this city. Laurel la an Ideal spot for ono wishing to live this t-ort of life , as It Is In the Santa Cruz mountains , and with surrounding cnnjons , lib btautlful forests and Us pretty streams , Is Just the place for ono who would com- miino with nature It was In the fall that a joung man , a stranger , eamo to ibis place to take up his home The spot was a very Isolated one , and the neighbors soon saw that ho wished to bo lot alone and preferred his own com pany A cottage was built by himself , anil hero ho has resided a mstorloiis personage The object of bis choosing such a spot for a residence was soon learned lie Is studying the occult sciences end the injtt- terlcs unknown to man. A queer request was in.iJo by htm that the men who were engaged in chopping vvoad nearby his plaeo should cease their work , as It disturbed him Ho was soon designated by the people - plo as the "Laurel Hermit" on account of Ills occcntrlcltlru and peculiarities. Iho most s'ngular feature Is that a man | B > engaged by him as a sort of private secretary - rotary , who does all of hla business , such as the purchase of groceries and household necessities U Is said by those who reside In the neighborhood that these men never speak to each other. All communication be tween them Is done by means of notes , which are left on a certain spot on the The hermit owns a horse and carriage and often makes excursions In the deep recesses of the forest , where ho can be un disturbed In his studies of the occult sciences Ho has never been troubled by any ol his nelghbara. They do not call on him , as they know they would bo unwel come , and they feel that If ho so desires ho may study and commune with nature to his licart's content.
