‘ax months has been « matter of surprise to
those who have been most confident of the.
great wealth of Nevada county, and yet we
"doubt if one out often of the leads opened

hesitate long before embarking in any other
thing after this stylet Indications are discovered upon the top and immediately the
claim is staked off and a contract let to take
-out from six toten tons, The rock, cab and
all is taken to the mill, and unless thia pays
_ the ownérs of the claim abandon it. Hundreds of leads have been worked in this way
snd abandoned because they atesupposed to
be worthless, and those who have spent a
few dollars go off and talk about the uncertainty of quarts mining, oe:
We do not belfeve that this kind of mining
will ever result in good to the county and
rarely in enriching those who engage in it.
~~~ A few inatancés are knowh Where leads have
paid from the surface down, but in the large
majority of cases the most valuable mines
sre worked for some time without profit.
Many of the most valuable mines in this
county to-day were worked at great loss
vatil after they were opened below the surface water. The great tiinetal wealth of
the county is just begun to be developed,
and in ten years from now the steam-whietlé of quartz mills and the thumping of
. stamps will he heard in every ravine and on
every hill-side in the county. When miners
‘better understand the theory of quartz mining and have'had more experience in prac' tice, a very different kind of prospecting wi

In almost every township in the county the

experiment was tried a short time since
which greatly reduces.the expense and expedites the work. The tunnel spoken of has
¢ost $200 per foot. A few days since Mr.
Clark tried the virtue of fire as an agent and
found it to work to a charm. A cofd of
wood was placed in the end of the tunnel .
and left to burn, after which the rock was
found softened and easily worked, and at
an expense of about $25. By this method he
succeeded ip running the tunnel two feet

this new style of running tunnels will be generally adopted where the rock is subject to
