NEVADA crry. @ffice---Corner of me of Broad and Pine Streets. FRIDAY, MARCH 23rd, eee Tmt’ Mines IN AND WEAR NEVADA CiTY.—A correspondent pf ithe Sau Francisco Evening — Bulletin, who has been visiting the minds in this vicinity). lately, gives bcd following acount, which we respubliah, ve er that our readers nay-know what an pacserale man thinks of this section of the State, It will be noticed that he hae not ; exaggerated i in. the least the ‘condition of the aquaria companies that is. spoken ef in bis “A Betrea Prosrect.—A trip ‘throngh the niining counties of ‘our ‘State will convince the most sceptical that the Pacific gold . fields ure not yet “played out.” While bundreds are yearly deaving for **new discovetfea\" Or returning fo their ald homes at the Hast, fully impressed with" the conviction . that California is worked out, thousands. remain, to which additions are daily made by innmiigratio Me whose ybject is to become permanent settlers and build up and develop the true interests of this section, of our républie.: ‘Iti is true that new gold fields offer: better chances to the poor man who possesses Ts BE BE neither capital not energy sufficient to devel. op an extensive mine, and hence hundreds of . this class continue to wander from field. te “field, ‘stillbrooding over the misfortune of mankind anddaily adding section after section to, 9 long list of ‘played out” mining districté. “While. we may very properly ignove thé experience of this clissof men asa. test of the richness of our wines. we are compelled on the other hand to admit the testimony of another class ‘who, having perfori. ed the work of actual development, are now pormanedtly settled within a stone’s throw of the mine from which’ all: their wealth wos taken. This class of men, instead of return_ ing to’ Eastern homes to spend their days, are now engaged in constructing costly ca~ nals and ditches, building cities, towus, and villages, and surrounding their homes with orcharde and vineyards whose luscious fruit cannot be excelled in any part of the Unien. But all this is wnerely a commencement—a forerunner of what will yet be done, As an evidence that our hopes and expectations are not built upon ° a’ andy foutdation, we ‘will spéak of'a few witing mite é, and firetofthe ~ STAR SPANGLED Rinwih: —This mine liéw-about three miles from Nevada, and was discovered seyeral years ago by a party of. men now residents of San Francisco. As little faith was had in this branch of inining at that time, the lode ‘was permitted to lie uoworked until within the last year and a half. “During the yedr 1864 a company of prospectors relocated the ledge, and after a few monthe’ work succeeded in proving it to be one ofthe richest in Nevada county, The original locators hearing of this, talked of commencing an action for the recovery of the mine. “Not disposed to jeopardize their interests in a legal warfure with capitalists, the then. ‘proprietors sold the mine for $15,000 to the ‘present proprietors, Messrs. Kidd and Tisdale. Notwithetanding this sale, an _ action waa. instituted by “other parties, but was subsequently cempromised on. their receiving from, the present company the sum of $15,000. “The $30,000 thus expended in the purchase ofthe mine 1a,but a moiety of the sum the owners feel justified in expending in. the: actual development of themine.— Since the final settlement of their legal difficulties they have prected hoistiig tnachinery at the mine and aj12-sfamp mill just below, whith for strength and finish-cannot be excelled. At the predent’ tite they employ a @ large number of! imen-+niners, carpenters, blackemiths, iiod-choppers, ete,, are daily employing, ‘additionabhelp? and are in all cases ened good for $3 per day. The ledge ie from one to four feet io thickness, aud averages $50 per ton. THe Union’ Mt¥t.—About half a mile nerth of { the; Star. Spangled Banner fies the Union mine. The little village in the vicinity of this mine is one of. the. reguits of ita discovery. The ledge is now owned by the “New York and Grase Valley. Mining Com: pariy,” &, powerful combiaation of Capitaliste under whose management nt and cuntrol mining ‘operations have been Wapliieek id successfully carried forward. _ Every \ pai chew wk and thd ey bly thilled ‘in 1 sapron ei is aides ‘has ‘district I donot intend to-epeak particularly. “poor but honest” inechanice of Nevoda city -party accidentally discovered the . croppings ‘Gold Fiat, the Freneh mill and mine, the .

The propriétors, however, strictly ‘adhere to } their plan, .cluiming thatthe _pdditional expense is more than made up by a ness in the several departments, » WILLow VALLeYy.—In mentioning this of the score of valuable ledges . within its borders, but shall content myself with a few remarks concerning tbe amost important enthatif the mining operations now carried forward in this locality shull continue through the coming sumiwér—as they undoubteilly will—Grass Valley; a0 long the banner pre~ cinet, will have to yield ite claims in this respect, and in 80 doing will, on doubt, generously assist in transferring them to this new district. Willow Valley is situated on Big Deer Creek, about two miles northeast of Nevada. The German Company ts‘made up of German capitaliste of San Francisco ; is the owner of the Oriental dill and mine in the’ubove district, and has during the past year inade it the scene of extensive mining and milling operatious. In addition to the ordinary method attending the labor of extracting and crushing the ore, this company has erected a smelting furnace which is said to be fully adequate to the work of ting the precious mineral from its several affinities. MOUNTAIN Rose Districr.—This district lies on the north bank of the South Yuba river, about seveti’ miles north: of Nevada, and pearly equi-distant from North San Juan and Culumbia Hill. It first became+ known as a miuing district about five mouths age, and since its discovery has frequently been alluded to in the Nevada TRANSCRIPT. In the month of October last a company of started on a prospecting tour to this Vicinity; and when their patience had almost become exhausted in a fruitless search, one of the of a fine traceable ledge which they subdse-quently named the “Mountain Rose.” As considerable free gold could be seen in the rock taken from the croppings the company immediately commeuced active mining eperations, bn¢ were soon compe lledto deiist owing to the heavy raing which made the rond to the mine impassable, and rendered further work dangerous at that particular . stage of their proceedings. As Spring approaches, however, preparations are being made for a further prosecution of the ‘work already commenced, ond before the coming aummer closes the ledge will be ‘fully tested, and the hopes of its owners, no doubt, fully. realized. One very noticeable peculiarity of thie locality is that some six or seven different and well-defined ledges have been discovered witbin a mile of the Mountain Rose ledge, ull of them running ia the same direction, having the same dip and angle,'and bearing all the other general features of the Mountain Rose. Under the excitemént sreated* by the discovery of the first-named ledge, alinost the whele district wae staked off, located and recorded by a score of other parties who are anxiously waiting an opportunity to develope their respective claims. OTHER Mines.—We might thusgo on and speak of district after distnet, and ulso of individual mining enterprises, all of which are as well known as those already mentioned. »Indying this we might speak yot ‘the Mohawk, and the Sueath and Clay mine on others, which are yet to be more fururably known a8 the work of develiping progresses, The reader will bear in mind that all the above-mentioned mines ate -gituated in the vicinityuf Nevada, ard consequently, de not include any of the large number of extensive quartz operations near Grass Valley. EXTENSIVE VINEYARD.—The Napa County Reporter says Mr. Brannan has planted all the hills immediately adjacent to the Calistoga Springs, with grape cuttings this season. Many of them are choice foreign varieties, planted with a view of testing the adaptibility of the soil.and climate of ‘the upper part of Napa Valley for producitig & superior wine and table grape. ‘Five hundred thousand cuttings .have already been set vut, which, when in vigorous growth, will temper the atmosphere heated by the boiling cauldrons around the Calistoga, toa ‘more endurable heat.

Since August Inst, my mformant stated, a traffic in negroes has been carried on between several puvints on the Suuthera coast and the Island vf, Cuba. The negroes are hired as if to work at lumbering in Florida in any place so-distant os to furnish a pretext for taking them on beard u vessel, and then they are--atonce run vver to Cuba, where purehhsera sre readily found. The: negroes cost little or hething, and'the _ neas is exceedingly remunerative. A stéamer is spoken of Which was partly freighted in Augusta, and made the trip only a.short time. since, and .it.is said that more than one party in Charleston. have made very profitable ventures, Their secret having become known, certain other persons weredesirous of embarking in the same enterprise ; = and-it was from some-of-the-efferts_of these. -< latter to obtain the requisite capital for their purpose that the frets which I give traps pired and became known to.me.
