Wo Wile siaVétiing tha other day with
an acquaintance who has followed mining . “
for many yeats, and he informed us that,
since 1854, he had taken out $25,000 worth
of gold, all done by his own iabor with the
exooption of about $500 which he had paid
for hired hélp. He had worked faithfully,
either at prospecting or mining, always on
his own account, and the result of his labor
may be. considered as the average luck of
a miner who’has worked in
sixteen years. At first thought, and taking
sam in-view;-one might suppose —the total
that Our'titimer had been very successful ;
‘but_.when we come to reflect ‘that the. receipts of his labor only am ouiited to a little
over $1,500 a year, we can not say his
mining operations have been especially
' ‘profitable.. Very few men with that income
would be able to save-anything over expenses. A mechanic or 4 farmer, working
steadily for that time, would lave made as
much, and the farnier, in addition, would
have had his place improved, so that he
could feel hie Had: resource to support him
in his declining years. Some of our. miners . Oss
have done far better, and others not so
well; but the prospect of doing better, and
of making a lucky strike, is the. charm that
attracts the miner to his vocation. ~

Rich Strike.
A very rich strike was made in tie Pitts
burg mine two or three days ago, which
promises to be extensive. On Wednesday, .
rock thrown out by a single blast was estimated to contain at least fifteen hundred
dollars worth of gold.. One piece of rock,
as large as a nail tings * was literally seamed
with the precious metal. This was broken
up and thrown into the batterries, as well
as the most of the other specimen rock
taken out, superintendents having found
long since that it does not pay to keep specimens for exhibition. The gold shows
plainly in the ledge, and it is not known
how far the poekct may extend. ‘Some of
thé’ rich belts in the upper levels yielded
_ large sums of money, and this has the appearance of being one of the richest and
most extensive ever found in the mine.
Waste of Timber.
The Fourth of July Committee at Grass
Valley request the owners and occupants of
houses, especially those who live on the
principal streets and along the line of the
* procession, to decorate their places with
evergreens, so as to shade the sidewalks,
This has become the custom m mining
towns, young cedars being mostly cut down
for the purpose, and the destruction of thé
growing timber in this manner is painful
to thoughtful persons. --The number of
cedars destroyed for a Fourth of July celebration in such towns as Nevada and Grass
Valley, if allowed to grow thirty or forty
years, would furnish lumber to build a
respectable city. This wasteful use of
growing timber will go on until the land
has all passed into private hands, when the
ata nia ces of the young trees,
The owners of this mine. are actively enpape th ai mmr :
ing other repairs and improvements in
mill. They expect to have it running in
ten Gayé'or two weeks. We sawa letter
yesterday from one of the men working in
to improve, and the prospects become more
favorable the further they get into the
ledge.
Mining in Little York,
A gentleman down yesterday from You
Bet informs us that mining has been very
brisk this season throughout Little Yok
township. The water in the ditches is
holding out equally as well as last year,and
nea#ly ali the claims that are fairly opened
have” paid well. ‘The cement claims of
Brown Brothers have been yielding immensely. The gold yield of Little York .
