RSs FIC -_ SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1866. ter 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 \ v ip meprseipempecanem nme sesi ' taken out buve bewn expended in their furPO snare iti eh ge . 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. chiuery is choapér, dud the process of workiag eo much improved, that reck ot: a much luwer grade can be made. te pay. In the latter, experiments: continue to be made yeatly. and ‘we believe the tie will come when ruck. which paya three dollars to the ton can be profitably. worked: ‘Let those who think this statement absurd, rend. the testimony of an. experienced winer in. res gard to the cust of Workiog quartz wm.

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 bas not beeo able to intruduce a better sys. tem of reducing the quartz than the une xeuerally used ut present, and which is founded on the result of experience and observation, The Black Hull Company bas spent a» large amount of money experiment. ing wud trying new methods to sive the geld, but so far they have tailed to develup a better method than the une in nar. While new experiments are continually being tried by one company or another, the engineers are devoting their attention. and Uxercieing their ingenuity in perfecting in wll ote details :to save labor and te crue the greatest quantity Of rock in the shortest Apare of time. As they asy in Australia, it ix the quantity of cock put through the mill that makes it pay, nog the quality, of it — This is the. lending idea kept in view by all there conipanins—rand they have pretty well satisfied themaelere by numerous experiwents, that taken in connection with their wWethas otaeving the weld, their success in making peur quartz pay, ieattributed snore techie’ privcipte than all else, and I think might bjudiciously tried to seme advan’ tage in thi State, “: : he Rec: wri, three boys broke into the post office at Sante lav and rifled the money drawerets small amuunt. of. louse change. : ‘. though not so white. it is deemed superior .
