One of the moat noteworthy feature. In many portions of the gold region fa the elaborate system of water supply for the use of the hydraulic mines and the tremendous changes which were the re sult of the few years during which hy- draulicking was at its height So great have been these changes—hills washed away, valleys filled up, others created— that in many localities the entire land scape has been altered. The old proverb ascribing the power to remove mountains to such ns had faith only to the amonnt of a groin of mus tard seed has never been exemplified, but the hydraulic miners have afforded the most ample demonstration of their ability to move mountains in the search of wealth. Lofty mountains have in fact been brought low through no other agency than tha pipe line, the monitor and the sluice, and the tremendous pow er of water never received such an exem plification as in the history of tho hy draulic mines of California There are indeed so many remarkable facts connected therewith that, were they not abundantly substantiated, one might well be pardoned for receiving their relation with incredulity. One might not believe that a stream of water issuing from a nozzle or pipe siz inches in diameter, and with no other force but gravity behind it, wonld have much ef fect at anyconsiderabledistance from the aperture, yet such an appareutly insig nificant stream, with a fall behind it of 875 feet, will carry away a solid boulder weighing a ton or more at a distance of fifty to 100 feet, while at a less distanco it will toss such a bowlder about os a boy wonld throw a pebble. POWER or WATER. The velocity and force of such a stream as it issues from the nozzle of the mon itor is something terrific. The column of water is solid—so solid that if one were to undertake to thrust any object into it it wonld .make no more impres sion than if it were iron instead of liquid. If a crowbar or other heavy ob ject bo thrust against the stream ft wonld be snatched from the hand and thrown to a great distance os if it were a feather weight, while the man wiio should firmly grasp an ax and attempt to ent through the stream would under go an experience that he would remem ber for many a day. If a man were to receive the full force of snch a stream at a distanco of a conple of hundred feet, even thongh the Impact bo momentary, he would be killed as quickly as thongh struck by a cannon ball. Bo might escape being mangled, but the breath wonld be most effectually and suddenly expelled from his body. At 400 feet from the nozzle n G-inSh stream, with 875 feet fall, swung mo mentarily against the trunk of a tree will denude it in a second of the heaviest bark os cleanly as if an ax had been used. Whenever such a stream is turned against a gravel bank it cuts and bur rows into it in every direction, gouging ont great caves, cansing thousands of tons of earth to fell, which in turn is qnickly disintegrated and washed into tho sluices. Bowlders so heavy that a man can scarcely lift them are tossed about like chaff, stumps and trunks of trees are thrown to one side like straws, and the work of destruction goes on at a pace that is appalling. If one who has never seen a monitor in operation nnder full head could imagine the ordinary stream from a fire hose magnified about a thou sand times he wonld be able to form some conception of its power. TOE MONITOR IN ACTION. The water is brought in open ditches or flumes, sometimes from a great dis tance, around mountain sides and across valleys and ravines. When the vicinity of the mine is reached a box is pnt in, from which a pipe conducts the water te the point where it is to be used. It is tha distance between this box and the level of the monitor that gives the press ure. With from 800 to 450 feet fall the done is tremendous. At the monitor the wster is conducted a still smaller pipe, with nozzle one-third the size of the supply the compression giving it still forco. The monitor is construct- like the ordinary hose nez- but has a ball joint that permits it swung in any direction. Almost the weight of a finger will suffice to di rect the movement Easily as it is msnoged, however, the monitor sometimes becomes uncontrol lable, and when thia happens a scene of destruction and even death ensues. The pipe sways to and fro at its own volition, and tho stream flies first in one direction and then in nnother. If the miners are not warned in time to get ont of To Printers and Publishers.

Sometimes the runaway monitor seems aa if manipulated by tome bloodthirsty monster, and appears to be deliberately turned upon the fleeing men, following them as they fly in every direction and overtaking them before they can reach a place of safety.
