This occupies'a section of a large vein running Sto 12 feet in width. The ore is mostly sulphurets, ranning generally: an average of $100 per ton. There was a very rich striké made in this mine a short time ago, in which the gold was: literally showered out in: the blusts. From this one nook some twenty-five pounds of gold was taken in a very short time, The owners of the mine are now engaged in putting up works for the Monaier pfocess at a cost of $60,000. The Soggs mine, . on the‘same vein, is another. promising property. The shaft is down 900: feet, and has already ~yielded handsomely to its owners.— The Oualifornia, though. a good mine atthe surface, is difficult to work, and is characterized; by narrow surface veins, which rarely extend profitably downwurds., A few of tlie other most important quartz mines are the Deadwood, the Pittsburg (a regniar dividend-payer), the Lindsey, Which has a lQvstump: mill on ning from $12 to: $20, the Yuba, owned by the Colemanbrothers, which runs fron $25-to $40 and has a 5-stamp mill, and: the Hathaway, who has likewisea small mill, Then there is the Sierra Butte, which mine has the credit of having bailt the Cosmopolitan Hotel at the: Bay from the pur@hase money which was paid for it byan Eaoglish company., to whom it bas paid, for eighteen years, consecutive monthly dividends, _ . iaty These. neorssarily briefly told, constitute some of theelaims of Nevada to be regarded a8 a great mining county. ‘Tne: statistics furnished show that in quartz or gravel mining it can present a good record, and continues to do so notwithstanding the fact thatit is one of the oldest mining counties. in California, and the people who own. thes6 mines,and they are with few exceptions the property of residents, ara to be congratulated on the prospects of a steady coutinuanve inthe future of the handsome protits in¢hepast. We are glad to beable to present» so favorable a resume of the mining condition of a California county, for though public attention is naturally so anyeh direcied just at-present towards: Nevada, yet we possess boundless coufidence in the euduring wealth of the ancient river chanuels aud hills'des over our ab ite. & Present, * Some of Senator, Sargent’s friends and adirers in San ‘Pridetto. have } Mevaiiva,. “and Sill” préscat it. to him as-*a token of their esteem; sta The following is the third letter of . publish: a ast, yet the county ian: . tains many Valuable quartz tines . more extensively.and systematically } properties forall they are worth. by { the property and a large vein run-. hadshis buat-exeeuted in) muible by: i ; The Meco fe Huds wdjooil Oo rngpecses You Bet, turned off last week amd jade a general cleanup.

Both tunnels are being advanced in the Wide West mine, the distauce between the two now being 170 feet, which block of: ground will be lef‘ solid, -with the exception of connecting air drifte, until the boundary line of the mine is reachéd, it being a distance of 2,100 feet. ‘Tbe gravel taken therefrom continues to be exceedingly rich.

Postee. claim-is located on Fall Creek, in Nevada county, being.one anda half miles west-of where the Culbertson grade crosses the stream, and nine miles vorth of Emigrant Gap.It contains 40 acres of ground, average depth of 70. ‘feet, and has sufficicnt elevation above the etream to insure its successful working by hydraulicing, under which . process will bearemunerative investment. This has been proven by prospectiug . . the gravel by ground sluicing. Fall Creek, at this point, is very rich, the gravel being about ten-feet deep, but there is not sufficient grade to work it otherwise than to pick and ‘shovel it into shnices, and as this ground will have te be worked befora uny hydraulicing is done, the same isprogressiug under slow but paying circumstances, and will take abouta yeat to complete, Our informant, Mr.Wood, one of the own. ers;-thinks that profits enough will! be realized to fit up and put the mine in condition for hydraulicing. “There are-also several other mines in this vicinity, which are thought would pay well if. properly worked,, as the prospects in several instimces are said to be promising. é —~ Camilla Urso: This celebrated lady, with her as—4 sistants, will perform ia this city on the 27th of this month, and already quite a number of seats have been secured;.and by the time arrives for the performance, probably all the best seats iu the Theatre will be en-gaged. The Saa Jose Mercury, inspeaking of the concert given in that place by, thecompany, says ‘‘a large,. fashionable and highly appreciative audience’ greeted the renowed violin-. st, Camilla Urso, The little lady appeared scarcely a day older than seven yearsago, when she paid her first professional visit here. We thought the performance exquisite then;-but now she seemed more than ever the true artist that sheis. The Madame was assisted by that eminent: pianist, Mr. Auguste Sauret; by Mr, Chas. Pflueger, a fine tenor; and last,. but by no means least, by the beautiful young soprano, Miss lvy Wandesforde. This lady fairly divided the honors. with the Madame, and both ladies were repeatedly encored and numerously bouqueted. Miss Ivy’s_ singing was simply chaaming. Her voice is the very embodiment of charming melody.

The shaft is down 900: feet, and has already ~yielded handsomely to its owners.— The Oualifornia, though. a good mine atthe surface, is difficult to work, and is characterized; by narrow surface veins, which rarely extend profitably downwurds., A few of tlie other most important quartz mines are the Deadwood, the Pittsburg (a regniar dividend-payer), the Lindsey, Which has a lQvstump: mill on ning from $12 to: $20, the Yuba, owned by the Colemanbrothers, which runs fron $25-to $40 and has a 5-stamp mill, and: the Hathaway, who has likewisea small mill, Then there is the Sierra Butte, which mine has the credit of having bailt the Cosmopolitan Hotel at the: Bay from the pur@hase money which was paid for it byan Eaoglish company., to whom it bas paid, for eighteen years, consecutive monthly dividends, _ . iaty These. neorssarily briefly told, constitute some of theelaims of Nevada to be regarded a8 a great mining county. ‘Tne: statistics furnished show that in quartz or gravel mining it can present a good record, and continues to do so notwithstanding the fact thatit is one of the oldest mining counties. in California, and the people who own. thes6 mines,and they are with few exceptions the property of residents, ara to be congratulated on the prospects of a steady coutinuanve inthe future of the handsome protits in¢hepast. We are glad to beable to present» so favorable a resume of the mining condition of a California county, for though public attention is naturally so anyeh direcied just at-present towards: Nevada, yet we possess boundless coufidence in the euduring wealth of the ancient river chanuels aud hills'des over our ab ite. & Present, * Some of Senator, Sargent’s friends and adirers in San ‘Pridetto. have } Mevaiiva,. “and Sill” préscat it. to him as-*a token of their esteem; sta The following is the third letter of . publish: a ast, yet the county ian: . tains many Valuable quartz tines . more extensively.and systematically } properties forall they are worth. by { the property and a large vein run-. hadshis buat-exeeuted in) muible by: i ; The Meco fe Huds wdjooil Oo rngpecses You Bet, turned off last week amd jade a general cleanup.

Both tunnels are being advanced in the Wide West mine, the distauce between the two now being 170 feet, which block of: ground will be lef‘ solid, -with the exception of connecting air drifte, until the boundary line of the mine is reachéd, it being a distance of 2,100 feet. ‘Tbe gravel taken therefrom continues to be exceedingly rich. A drift is being opened east of-tunnel No. 2, to test the width of the channel; and breasting, out of the same will be commenced imme‘diately, . “The Wood &. Postee. claim-is located on Fall Creek, in Nevada county, being.one anda half miles west-of where the Culbertson grade crosses the stream, and nine miles vorth of Emigrant Gap.It contains 40 acres of ground, average depth of 70. ‘feet, and has sufficicnt elevation above the etream to insure its successful working by hydraulicing, under which . process will bearemunerative investment. This has been proven by prospectiug . . the gravel by ground sluicing. Fall Creek, at this point, is very rich, the gravel being about ten-feet deep, but there is not sufficient grade to work it otherwise than to pick and ‘shovel it into shnices, and as this ground will have te be worked befora uny hydraulicing is done, the same isprogressiug under slow but paying circumstances, and will take abouta yeat to complete, Our informant, Mr.Wood, one of the own. ers;-thinks that profits enough will! be realized to fit up and put the mine in condition for hydraulicing. “There are-also several other mines in this vicinity, which are thought would pay well if. properly worked,, as the prospects in several instimces are said to be promising. é —~ Camilla Urso: This celebrated lady, with her as—4 sistants, will perform ia this city on the 27th of this month, and already quite a number of seats have been secured;.and by the time arrives for the performance, probably all the best seats iu the Theatre will be en-gaged. The Saa Jose Mercury, inspeaking of the concert given in that place by, thecompany, says ‘‘a large,. fashionable and highly appreciative audience’ greeted the renowed violin-. st, Camilla Urso, The little lady appeared scarcely a day older than seven yearsago, when she paid her first professional visit here. We thought the performance exquisite then;-but now she seemed more than ever the true artist that sheis. The Madame was assisted by that eminent: pianist, Mr. Auguste Sauret; by Mr, Chas. Pflueger, a fine tenor; and last,. but by no means least, by the beautiful young soprano, Miss lvy Wandesforde. This lady fairly divided the honors. with the Madame, and both ladies were repeatedly encored and numerously bouqueted. Miss Ivy’s_ singing was simply chaaming. Her voice is the very embodiment of charming melody.
