A new quartz location has been made the present week on a vein that crosses Wolf Creek, a short distance below the site of the Gold Hill mill. The vein is about four feet between wall,-carries largely in mineral, and prospects well in-free-gold, although its existence has been known togom persons for many years back. It will be difficult to ‘sink upon it: to any depth in the bed of the creek, with ordinary appliances, on account of -water, but enough work will be done at present to determine its course, with a view to putting down a prospecting shaft at a more favorable point. The ledge is believed to run through the garden of Jordan Ousley,. on the west side of the creek, and into Gold Hill, as that seems -to be its course so far as it has been exposed. —Union.

The shaft is being repaired so that it can be sunk three levels more, making the total depth of the mine 1,200 feet.
