Quanrz Resources —We heards ger
tleman remark a few days since that “quartz
‘nining in’ Nevada county was in its-infancy,
and thatin luss than three years this county.
would be yielding mere money. than the-entire State of Nevada is at present.” The
man who madé”™ this statement, was for several years the supermtendent of one of the
best pire at Virginia city, has visited every .
part of this county, aud is now extensively
engeged in quartz mining. It may be that
certainly such a prediction, coming as it
does from an expert, who has carefully examined our tines and invested bis money in
found thxt evidences upon which such an
ly sectiun of this county which has been
thoroughly prospevtéd is Grass Valley District. There, a numbér of mines have been
fully opened, and in every instance nearly,
Allison Ranch, Rocky Bar, and several
others, have been worked for .years, and
their owners have made large furtunes.—
The Eureka, Ophir, North Star,and a dozen
more that might be named, have beéh added to the list, all yielding large profits.—
But even in this District many mines are
being prospécted. The most of these give

. Some new ledges, which are being opened in
very encouraging indications, aud wil, withina few years, be added tu the list of paying mines. The causes which combined to
develop the Grass Valley mined earlier than
any others in the county, is nut our purpuse
ty discuss at this time; they are well understood by the miners. Inu Nevada District,
though muny valuable élaims have been
proapected und opened, we yet have few
which may be classified as paying mines.—
The Banner, Sueath & Clay, Union, Sogge’,
aod a few uthers, have been pretty thurwugh ly prospected, and have yielded large
profite, but in most others the large amounts
ther development. Even on some of the
above, tunnels, inclines, hoisting works and.
mills have. been erected, wh.ch bave cost
more than the wine hag yielded, At Meadew Lake, Grizzly Hill, Eureka, Willow
Valley and other Distrtets, which present
excellent prospects, the mines are not yet
paying, though many~of them have yielded
large returne, because of the amount being
expended fur prospecting. These will be
ne doubt added to the list of paying mides
within a few years. By paying mines, we
mean those in’ which the receipts exceed the
expenditures. There is hardly a district in
the county in whieh the prospect to-day is
not more encouraging than the winers of
Grass Valley had, when they first undertook
to develop their claime, Labor and ma.

James Archibald, who has had nine years.
of experience in the quartz mines of Australia, five yeara of which he was employed
tion to the manner in which mining is con-dacted in that country: ~~
The statement that quartz can be made
to pay a profit at the low yield of $1 56 per
ton, eve almost iner.dible in thia. country: Ihave always found the statement to
be received with suspicion at least, if not
with downright incredulity, yet so true.—
The report states, that the batteries crush
from 1,000 tons to 1,500 per week, requiring
the attention of one man only to the 60
stamps. Mr. Mosheimer thinks this statement must be an error, and exnys' ne man is
able to shovel 1,000 tons of reck inte a
feeding box, in that space of time. I quite
agree with him in the ubjection, but there
are other ways to de it without any shoveling
. being required. “The rock is filled into cars,
and run trem the mine to the mill: and
duuiped into a large hopper. The quartz ia
then fed to the batteries, by.a selt-feeding
arrangement of the machinery,;-so that the
rock is handled but once in the whole uperation of wining and crushing. a
Mr. Mosheimer says be hus found the
Australian mode of . working quartz wasteful in the extreme. Thia charge has been
made time and again for 10 years, but, it
seems somewhat remarkable. that. science
