> ~The Daily ae a eet “patatday, March 1, 1973. ‘A gentleman fnforins us of a most singular disobvery of a pies of gold, at Red Hill, about a mile from this city. He says one of the owners of ‘the land was walking by a piece of ground, a few days ago, where the top dirt had been-washed off to'the . depth of about fivefeet. and. saw “something shining: “He went to the Ne Ss ~\ nee ene — 2 4 ‘tothe Postmaster'in this city, mak~ ingingniry of her son, be@ity, Nevada ‘Cowaty’ or” "Blase, the letter fies obctae Uae * -specimen was found, and proceeded . _ been taken out. ~ qeaee ——Yport'th spot, and ascertaining it was gold, _ took ott, “apiece weighing about three” otnces: “Informing “his pa aT _ner.of the discovery, they supplied themselves with tools, and returned to the spot where the three-ounce to clear the clay away for a distance of two and a half feetin length and frearly two fect in width, which was as faras thé, gold could be traced. The gold lay nearly flat'the whole of this distance and on the bed ‘rock. If it had-been melted and poured out it conld not have been so nicely laid ‘as it was there. Some portions of it -was-a8 thin as a’ wafer, ‘and ho @most beautiful specier exKibited in the world. Phe owners on seeing the sight bewame excited and anxions to ascertain the result of their discovery commenced picking it out every way, ‘thus spoiling the beautiful specimen: Jts appearance seemed to indicate, at Grst sight, that it was a massive -_bculder. of gold, and ‘on the surface it looked as though there was a block of gold worth. millions of dollars." They dug it out in pieces of various sizes, and the total: value of the gold was $3,000. The most singulur part of it was, there was. no ~ quartz in it, although the billis full of quattz, Some peopie may think that this-was.a ‘‘salting process,’’ in order to effect a sale for a large sum “of money. But we know that such is not the case, as the ground in that docality is not for sale. Furthermore, yaany such pockets have been found on Red Hill, one of which, discovered many years ago, yielded over _$7,000, and others varying from $50 ta $1,000. Asa rule, these ‘‘pocket claims” are not remunerative,. from the fact that when a ‘“‘pocket”’ is ' struck, miners will often spendtwice as much as the amount taken out in _ drying to find another, and then be “Wigappointed; and Red Hill is not an __exception. Large amounts of money have been taken out of this hill, and & great deal “been spent in prospecting. But we think the time not far distant when it wi demonstrated that one of the richest quartz ledges in the country rans through Red billy which when developed) .will aild greatly to the ‘wealth of Nevada . —eounty. -All through -the hill float~ and as the famous Schmift ledge “js Ghose to and Tons inthat diree" tion, there is pood reason for the belief that Red Hill will yet be made to unearth her hidden treasures, and reward the faithfal prospector for his untiring energy.’ A New Paper at San Juan. — We are informed that A. IL. Pattick, who: was foreman in the War Club office at N. San Juan, when that paper was in existence, contemplates issuing a paper at that place, to be called the North San Juan’ Times.

Even Grass Valley and Neyada were get down, for much less than whatI beliéve they have Fielded. I.am extremely gratified to find that my estimate is so far below the actual amount taken out in the county, LIendeavored to show that Névada county was traly one of the richest mining counties in, the State, as I sincerely believe it is, In-—discussing the question I could not hame eyery locality in the county without making my Tecture rather too long, so I contented myself with generalizing. Now lam/very anxious to get-the amount of gold taken out from every mining locality in the county, as near as possible, and I shall be glad to receive whatever information upon the subject which my friend L. can give, and I invite gentlemen from all parts of the county to afford me such information as they may be able, by letter directed “to me at Grass Valley. Be assured that I will make good use of such reliable statisties“as may be furnished I desire that the real wealth and true character of Nevada county should be known, I am identified with its prosperity, and am governed by no seetional feeling. Since the publication of my lecture I am in receipt of various letters’ of inquiry about mines in the county, which I have answered. according to the best delivered to the Collector, and of {of my ability, but I want more information. I reeveived one: letter enquiring about mines in Eureka. The gentleman inquired with a view of investment. I could only give a meagre report—favorably known as to its being a tich mining’ locality, and advised him to make a personal exumination.

Even Grass Valley and Neyada were get down, for much less than whatI beliéve they have Fielded.

Now lam/very anxious to get-the amount of gold taken out from every mining locality in the county, as near as possible, and I shall be glad to receive whatever information upon the subject which my friend L. can give, and I invite gentlemen from all parts of the county to afford me such information as they may be able, by letter directed “to me at Grass Valley.

Since the publication of my lecture I am in receipt of various letters’ of inquiry about mines in the county, which I have answered. according to the best delivered to the Collector, and of {of my ability, but I want more information. I reeveived one: letter enquiring about mines in Eureka. The gentleman inquired with a view of investment. I could only give a meagre report—favorably known as to its being a tich mining’ locality, and advised him to make a personal exumination.
