City and County Official Prose
igratue. —Much has been said about the
effect of the dry winter upon the mining ine
“_——tereste in this State;-but no correct idea can
“be formed” of the damage-the mines Lave sufferéd for want of water, without a visit to the
towns and camps winch depend upop mining
entirely for their existence. We have just
returned from a visit to Alpha, Omega and.
Washington, in the northern part of the
~gounty. Many of the camps slong the rondwhere, a year ngo, thousnnds of dullars were
beitig tuken out, re now almost entirely desorted. A large extent of ground knowii to
be gond is unworked for want of water, and
a still larger range of country is anprospectod. “Alpha, Omega, Gold Hill and Jefferson
are now alinost without inhabitants. Washington ie more flourighing than the neighbor»:

=e ‘DEATH.
In this city, yesterday. FLORENCE, daughter
the Yuba river where there are some goud
diggings. Many of the miners, svtisfied that
there willbe no water this season, have
“struck their tents” and started for the enstern slape of the Sierras. Others anxiously
look forward to the time when they shali
have plenty of water, confident of an ample
geturn for their labor from their own hills.
Many of the miners at Washington and
Omega are now directing. their energies to
the development of the Quartz leads that
abound in those localities. At Gaston Ridge
arich lead has been struck and a mill is&oon
to be erected. Near the Tecumseh will,
half a dozen new ledges have been recently
found, which give. proinise of exceeding richness. This mill, we were informed by the
superintendent, gummences crushing borday.
The rock is taken from the Fidelity ledge-on
the opposite side of the river and run over to
the mill on atrack built across the river.—
Tey have about-Afty tune of rock already: .
atthe mill. The S.vfurd ledge, near the
Fidelity, is anew one juat opened, and is said
to be very rich: Itis nearly eight feet .
thick, and belongs to the Star company. At
Diamond Creek, above Omega, another ledge
has been discovered. Some of the rock from
this ledge bas been crushed in this city and
yielded $51 to the ton. A mill, we are informed, is soon to be erected near this ledge. }
In this section of the county very little prospesting for quartz has been done until reéently. There are hundreds of ledges pierc«
ing the hills in every direction. Many of
those discovered, prospect well. The gold
that is found in the rivers and ravines is often
encased in quartz, and gives evidence of having but recently formed a part ef some ledge.
We have no doubt that at mo distant day
some of the richest quartz ledges in the
State will be found in that part of the county.
