When they are thorougtily proepected they will turn out gold evough to It is surprising that these ledges were not found sooner. Untitwithin » few months the many indications of rich quartz-around Nevada attracted no attention. Few prospeeted and nearly all believed quartz *‘would’nt pay.”” The immense loss attendant upon the working of quartz io this secfion, in varly days, discouraged those ‘whe would uthérwise have gene to work ta develop: leads, Few considéred that these Tosses were owing to their ignorance 6f the business of quartz mining whieh prevailed among our people, but this,time has proved. re ‘ure how scores df leads in this township which are worked with immense profit and nearly si of them have been opened within a few months.

It is; and long has been, the “spook” that has troubied the wits of the citizens at the Bay, and is not laid yet. ‘Ihe street car companies, it seems, recvntly raised their fares, which so incensed their patrons that fur a time they refused to ride at all, and now are resolutely tendering greenbacks, which the conduc tors decline to agcept, and are instructed to “spot” such as offer them. ‘The latter get their ride all the same.
