~~ QUAntZ EXCIrEMENT.—Tho prospect is
that the quartz interestvin this vicinity is
about to take a jump in the right direction.
Woe have said, on a dozen ar“more occa.
sions, and we said it from a knowledge of
the country, that untold wealth. still. re»
mained in the matrix in this neighborhood,
and that if enterprise were rightly directed
in some of our hills it would soon be brought
to light. The time has come for us to see
the realization of the fict.~ Within a few
days developments have taken place that
give promise of greut influence on the industrial interests of this vicinity. No less. than
three mille for crushing quartz are: abont
to be erected near MeCarty’s Ranch, where
excellent’ leads of quartz have recently
been discovered. ‘The leads are well éefin:
‘ed and beautiful ones of great richness.—
So say our best quartz miners, Several
—well known late operators in’ the Gould
aud Curry “have interested themselves
the new leads and are going to make Nevada their head quarters for a time. They
have invested in the mines,and are. taking
steps for the erection’ of nitty. “A French
company will puf up a mill, a company
called the “Merrimac,”
pany in which some of our well known eit
igzoha ave lntercated, Will erect milla and all
will be completed jmuniediately. We Jearn
», from good. sources that there is a great
4 tbundance of rock of good quality, enough
to keep a large number of stampers employs
ed, and that the prospects are more _ than
usually bright. The range of-hills between
this place and Grass’ Valley ia full of quartz
and another comveina, and info the ridge the newly discoyered lodea run and in the direction too, we
are informed, of the celebrated Veit of
~~-Sneath-&-Chay, -on-Gubl debt.
Having some knowledge of the locality,
we can say that the country in that direcs .
tion is as rich in gold-bearing rock” ag any
portion of California with which we have
an sequaintance, and we really think that
veins, yielding fortunes to many men. We
trust the indications—erebut a foretaste of
what isto be proven, for many reasons, one
of which is, the employment it may furnish
the poor fellows who have. been thrown
back upon us disappointed with their at. tenips to reach a fortune or even wages in
the country of some silver and considerable
sage brush and alksli.

Tue Scientific Press, edited by Warren
B. Ewer, fermerly of this county, is about
to be enlarged. —We are glad to hear of the
prosperity of the Press. for it is decidedly

mining should subseribe for it—y single number is worth the price of # year's subscription.
