A Gigantic Miming Enterprise. without doubt one of the greatest mining achievements of moderns engin- eering is the construction of the Big Bend Tunnel on the Feather river, sit- uated in Butte County, California. Feather river 18 formed by the North, Middle and 5» uth Forks, which rise in County, run southwestward, and unite in Butte Co. to form the main Feather, It is well known, among gold miners, that the richest and wost productive gold mines of California bave been the beds of rivers, and the **Feather’ espe- cially bas Leen known for years under the name of “The Golden Feather,” But the Biz Bend of Feather river whose gravel deposits have been estima- ted in va'ue from $100 000.000 to $150,- 000,000, i 1s hitherto bafiled the skill of man to rob it of its treasure. This vast amount of wealth has been guarded miners’ inches of water rushing through a narrow canon of from 1,500 to 2,000 feet deep, which rendered it impossible to wing-dam or flume. Only recently these obstacles could be overcome gineering skill, There is a little through Dark Canon, into the West Dianch and frow there into the A tunnel was commenced Canon, a bore through a spur of Big Bend mountain a distance of 12,007 feet, or nearly two and ene tiird mies in length out to the mou uta Feather River, at the upper end of the Bead. Just low where the upper end of the tunnel taps the river a dam was constructed which is to force the water through U tunnel into Dak Canon, out of which it will flow into the West Branch, and then into the main Feather again, This will leave out fourteen miles of the river bed sed sight during the season of low water, which from seven to! » pnonths in the year.

IT has been ascertained by a series of experiments that rye and winter wheat germinate at 52°; barley, oats, flax, clover and the pea at 55°; Indian corn at 489; turnips at 329; carrots at 389; and the bean at 40°, By adding 12° to each of these we will get the bons normal temperature of germination.
