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

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

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 _
