QUARTZ MINES AND MINING, ee ING, OCTOBER 11, 1851. same range of hills, which, so far as has been determined by the very par. tail prospecting which has been done, bid fair to pay well when the right kind of machinery is applied. Tt is thought by good judges that the springs at the base of the hill will be sutficient to supply several mills by preparing proper cisterns to retain the water. There is already a mill in process of erection upon Dry Creek, by the Pennsylvania company, which will be ready to operate soon. ‘The Hawkeye company, L understand, have contracted for a steam mill to be put up as soon as it can Le obtained, and the . Plymouth company intend to erect claims. There is no doubt but that in a few months there will be as much profitable mining done in Brown's Valley as any where in California, by the same capital and number of laborers. We can judge this only from what we saw with our own eyes, and heard with our own ears—and seeing and hearing, we judge for ourselves. From what we could learn, those companies . we have already named, have located upon the best portions of the veins, so far as discovered. ‘The Plymouth company, (formerly called Nevada company,) seems to have one advantage over all of the others. The rich north-east and south-west vein runs diagonally from one corner to the other of their claims, while the two main north and south veins pass through so as to cross transversely, and thus form several junctions, which are said to be richer than any otuer portions of quartz veins. While looking upon their veins, and examining their spe~ cimens, we could not check the reflec. tion that they had selected of all names . the most appropriate, and that, as on the Plymouth rock the wearied Dilgrims landed in safety after a perilous and daring voyage, so had these ex. plorers and seckers for gold, after tedious and persevering — struggles, Mr. Epiror.—As the public atfound the rock on which to locate, and tention seems to be somewhat attrac; to the-subject of quartz mining at the present time, it may be well to make mention of those localities where the foid-vearing quartz is being proved sufticiently rich to warrant the capitalist safe in investing his money in machinery to extract the precious metal from its native bed, and thus open a field for profitable employment to many who are seeking such an opportunity. For this reason, I propose to offer a few thoughts concerning Brown’s Valley, (called by some Vergersonville, ) which is situated about fourteen miles above Marysville on the Yuba. This is one of those spots on the face of the great footstool which has, until recently, remained almost gain. May they find it so. Many others have good claims without any doubt, and we hope and believe that none of them who persevere will fail of an abundant reward. Although we could not ayoid the conclusion that the Plymouth company had the fairest prospects of any company which has located at Brown’s Valley, yet we believe that scarcely one can fail to do well. The veins are of considerable thicknesa, and may be worked to good advantage. The facilities for transportation are also good—the road to Marysville for the entire distance being of the best descpription. At present, there are two entirely unknown, and it will probably be along time yet before it will be fully appreciated, Lut at present many are deeply interested in its superticial developments, and we may well anticipate the time not far distant when astonishing results of the sturdy arm of industry will show forth in labor, ranking with the most profitable which has ever been expended jin this golden land. ‘This valley is . upon the north side of the river and {adjacent to Dry creek. It abounds . in quartz in several places. What is . {known as Quartz Hill, is certainly a . curiosity. It is almost literally covered with quartz, and upon the surface rock, even, in many places, gold . may be seen with the naked eye completely intermixed with the rock. The rock is found to be very good, genejrally; and what is better, the best . specimems which has yet been taken . out, were taken from the deepest . shafts—-thus rendering it probable that . far deeper than any have sunk, the . quartz is exceedingly rich. We nojticed rare specimens from the Penn} pany are crecting a house, but it is said to be for their own use. the Brown’s Valley attractions, we proceeded to the recéntly discovered quartz veins on the smal} stream calls ed the Honcut, which empties into eather river a short distance above Marysville. The-¢ veins are located about five miles from Winters’ Hotel, situated on the ‘ Foster’s Bar road,” north»west. we should judge from the surface rock, and their general appearance is quite good. In the rock taken from the Pacific company’s claims gold could be seen with the naked eye. another region into which, no doubt, thousands will go and reap well for their capital and labor. At present there are no inhabitants for several miles through that region, save the wild natives who seem delighted to meet the friendly white man. valleys are fertile, and would produce abundant crops if there was sufficient moisture. rich soil, and if there was any means . sylvania, Hawkeye, and Plymouth jcompanies claims, all of which were . ‘taken from near the surface. It is . , almost impossible, as yet, to determine . {the number or direction of the veins pwbish abound in Quartz Hill. It is 'wenerally believed, however, that not on than four may be traced in it, two are north and south, and south-west . and north-east, and another nearly least and west. The boulders from . . these seem like real veins in many . . instances, and until much labor is per. . formed it cannot be determined satis. j factorily the number nor direction of . ithe veins. The north and south veins climate it would be a delightful location for the agrieulturist. Could the . water be brought from a neighboring emit lacsist eraeserey: stream too much expense, it would no doubt be a very great auxi iary in rendering the valley a good location for all classes, as the grounds for sluice-washing must be very ex. tensive upon Quartz Hill. Mr. Corn, President of Plymouth company, informed me that he washed from one pan of earth, taken from a pit in the claims of that company, one dollar and twenty-five cents. Others haye found good panning in their claims. From fulfil their highest hopes of worldly . public houses at} 3rown’s Valley. The Plymouth com. Having taken a careful survey of . They are large veins, . This is! The Brown’s Valley is of a! to offset the extreme dryness of the . ne . THE KAFFIR WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA, . The prospect of the difficulties between the English and the Kaffirs and . Hottentots being soon scttled, is very ‘slight. ‘The accounts by the latest ‘arrival abound in reports of the outjrages of the insurgents in stenling seattle, burning buildings and murdering those who fall into their power. The infeetion was spreading, and the Cape papers state that prospects look gloomy enough. The power of the Kaffirs appears to be unbroken, and they are animated by the belief that they shall regain the ascendency in the country. . A writer in the South African Ad'vertiser states that two of the rebel 'machinery immediately near their . chiefs, Stock and Seyolo, liad sent a . message to Sir Harry Smith, asking rfor a parley with him, to whieh ITis . Excellency consented on condition that ) their guns and weapons were given up. . The writer says that any peace which ;would reault from such patched up ‘negotiations is to be deplored, and that it will not be acceptable to the mass lof the people. In regard to the diz‘persion of the Hottentots and Kattirs at Kat river, by Col. Somerset, the iwritor says: “ You will read in the papers the . termination of the Theopolis affair; a ‘miserable business; in fact, Somerset has done worse than nothing; though he concentrated a force of near 1000 ‘men. It appears the rebels have dis~ . patched their women and children, and ia few catile they retained, towards 'Caffreland, while a body of them remain in the camp, and who, no doubt, will be reinforced by many from Bush , Hoek, Oliphant’s Hoek, and other places; and that part of the country . will be a nest for all the diseontented, ‘and before they can be routed out, many——many lives must be sacrificed. The Fingoes are becoming blood-thirslty toa degree that is appaling, and it makes one shudder to anticipate what this war will engender in their breasts. We must eventually suffer . feverely from this race. I dread to hear the result of a party of these Fingoes who are pursuing the fugitive rebels and their wives and children : as nothing can restrain. their blood~ thirsty disposition, women and children are sure to fall. Oh, how I do pray we could carry on the war without these people. Better, indeed, that the war be ignobly terminated, than con tinue in tutoring the Fingoes to wals low in blood, and obtain their livelihood by plunder.’ A letter from Banghersdorp, dated . May 19, states that that place was in great danger of being every moment attacked by the Tambookies. The . neighboring farms had all been deserted by their owners, who had fled more towards the colony. Many farmers had been killed, anda great number lof cattle stolen. A letter from the . civil commissioner confirms the above, and says that the boundary was in a most deplorable state-—that the camps of the farmers had been attacked by . hundreds of Kaffirs in open daylight, jcarrying off the greater part of their isheep (about 6,000) and nearly all heir horned cattle; in consequence (of which the farmers had all left the frontier. We might add many stich para: graphs’ asthe above, did our room jpermit. Affairs are in a deplora. able siate, and it is not probable that order will be restored, until a vast . *mount of treasure and of life haye been sacrificed -—-[ Boston Tray. .

QUARTZ MINES AND MINING, ee ING, OCTOBER 11, 1851. same range of hills, which, so far as has been determined by the very par. tail prospecting which has been done, bid fair to pay well when the right kind of machinery is applied. Tt is thought by good judges that the springs at the base of the hill will be sutficient to supply several mills by preparing proper cisterns to retain the water. There is already a mill in process of erection upon Dry Creek, by the Pennsylvania company, which will be ready to operate soon. ‘The Hawkeye company, L understand, have contracted for a steam mill to be put up as soon as it can Le obtained, and the . Plymouth company intend to erect claims. There is no doubt but that in a few months there will be as much profitable mining done in Brown's Valley as any where in California, by the same capital and number of laborers. We can judge this only from what we saw with our own eyes, and heard with our own ears—and seeing and hearing, we judge for ourselves. From what we could learn, those companies . we have already named, have located upon the best portions of the veins, so far as discovered. ‘The Plymouth company, (formerly called Nevada company,) seems to have one advantage over all of the others. The rich north-east and south-west vein runs diagonally from one corner to the other of their claims, while the two main north and south veins pass through so as to cross transversely, and thus form several junctions, which are said to be richer than any otuer portions of quartz veins. While looking upon their veins, and examining their spe~ cimens, we could not check the reflec. tion that they had selected of all names . the most appropriate, and that, as on the Plymouth rock the wearied Dilgrims landed in safety after a perilous and daring voyage, so had these ex. plorers and seckers for gold, after tedious and persevering — struggles, Mr. Epiror.—As the public atfound the rock on which to locate, and tention seems to be somewhat attrac; to the-subject of quartz mining at the present time, it may be well to make mention of those localities where the foid-vearing quartz is being proved sufticiently rich to warrant the capitalist safe in investing his money in machinery to extract the precious metal from its native bed, and thus open a field for profitable employment to many who are seeking such an opportunity. For this reason, I propose to offer a few thoughts concerning Brown’s Valley, (called by some Vergersonville, ) which is situated about fourteen miles above Marysville on the Yuba. This is one of those spots on the face of the great footstool which has, until recently, remained almost gain. May they find it so. Many others have good claims without any doubt, and we hope and believe that none of them who persevere will fail of an abundant reward. Although we could not ayoid the conclusion that the Plymouth company had the fairest prospects of any company which has located at Brown’s Valley, yet we believe that scarcely one can fail to do well. The veins are of considerable thicknesa, and may be worked to good advantage. The facilities for transportation are also good—the road to Marysville for the entire distance being of the best descpription. At present, there are two entirely unknown, and it will probably be along time yet before it will be fully appreciated, Lut at present many are deeply interested in its superticial developments, and we may well anticipate the time not far distant when astonishing results of the sturdy arm of industry will show forth in labor, ranking with the most profitable which has ever been expended jin this golden land. ‘This valley is . upon the north side of the river and {adjacent to Dry creek. It abounds . in quartz in several places. What is . {known as Quartz Hill, is certainly a . curiosity. It is almost literally covered with quartz, and upon the surface rock, even, in many places, gold . may be seen with the naked eye completely intermixed with the rock. The rock is found to be very good, genejrally; and what is better, the best . specimems which has yet been taken . out, were taken from the deepest . shafts—-thus rendering it probable that . far deeper than any have sunk, the . quartz is exceedingly rich. We nojticed rare specimens from the Penn} pany are crecting a house, but it is said to be for their own use. the Brown’s Valley attractions, we proceeded to the recéntly discovered quartz veins on the smal} stream calls ed the Honcut, which empties into eather river a short distance above Marysville. The-¢ veins are located about five miles from Winters’ Hotel, situated on the ‘ Foster’s Bar road,” north»west. we should judge from the surface rock, and their general appearance is quite good. In the rock taken from the Pacific company’s claims gold could be seen with the naked eye. another region into which, no doubt, thousands will go and reap well for their capital and labor. At present there are no inhabitants for several miles through that region, save the wild natives who seem delighted to meet the friendly white man. valleys are fertile, and would produce abundant crops if there was sufficient moisture. rich soil, and if there was any means . sylvania, Hawkeye, and Plymouth jcompanies claims, all of which were . ‘taken from near the surface. It is . , almost impossible, as yet, to determine . {the number or direction of the veins pwbish abound in Quartz Hill. It is 'wenerally believed, however, that not on than four may be traced in it, two are north and south, and south-west . and north-east, and another nearly least and west. The boulders from . . these seem like real veins in many . . instances, and until much labor is per. . formed it cannot be determined satis. j factorily the number nor direction of . ithe veins. The north and south veins climate it would be a delightful location for the agrieulturist. Could the . water be brought from a neighboring emit lacsist eraeserey: stream too much expense, it would no doubt be a very great auxi iary in rendering the valley a good location for all classes, as the grounds for sluice-washing must be very ex. tensive upon Quartz Hill. Mr. Corn, President of Plymouth company, informed me that he washed from one pan of earth, taken from a pit in the claims of that company, one dollar and twenty-five cents. Others haye found good panning in their claims. From fulfil their highest hopes of worldly . public houses at} 3rown’s Valley. The Plymouth com. Having taken a careful survey of .

The prospect of the difficulties between the English and the Kaffirs and . Hottentots being soon scttled, is very ‘slight. ‘The accounts by the latest ‘arrival abound in reports of the outjrages of the insurgents in stenling seattle, burning buildings and murdering those who fall into their power. The infeetion was spreading, and the Cape papers state that prospects look gloomy enough. The power of the Kaffirs appears to be unbroken, and they are animated by the belief that they shall regain the ascendency in the country. . A writer in the South African Ad'vertiser states that two of the rebel 'machinery immediately near their . chiefs, Stock and Seyolo, liad sent a . message to Sir Harry Smith, asking rfor a parley with him, to whieh ITis . Excellency consented on condition that ) their guns and weapons were given up. . The writer says that any peace which ;would reault from such patched up ‘negotiations is to be deplored, and that it will not be acceptable to the mass lof the people. In regard to the diz‘persion of the Hottentots and Kattirs at Kat river, by Col. Somerset, the iwritor says: “ You will read in the papers the . termination of the Theopolis affair; a ‘miserable business; in fact, Somerset has done worse than nothing; though he concentrated a force of near 1000 ‘men. It appears the rebels have dis~ . patched their women and children, and ia few catile they retained, towards 'Caffreland, while a body of them remain in the camp, and who, no doubt, will be reinforced by many from Bush , Hoek, Oliphant’s Hoek, and other places; and that part of the country . will be a nest for all the diseontented, ‘and before they can be routed out, many——many lives must be sacrificed. The Fingoes are becoming blood-thirslty toa degree that is appaling, and it makes one shudder to anticipate what this war will engender in their breasts. We must eventually suffer . feverely from this race. I dread to hear the result of a party of these Fingoes who are pursuing the fugitive rebels and their wives and children : as nothing can restrain. their blood~ thirsty disposition, women and children are sure to fall. Oh, how I do pray we could carry on the war without these people. Better, indeed, that the war be ignobly terminated, than con tinue in tutoring the Fingoes to wals low in blood, and obtain their livelihood by plunder.’ A letter from Banghersdorp, dated . May 19, states that that place was in great danger of being every moment attacked by the Tambookies. The . neighboring farms had all been deserted by their owners, who had fled more towards the colony. Many farmers had been killed, anda great number lof cattle stolen. A letter from the . civil commissioner confirms the above, and says that the boundary was in a most deplorable state-—that the camps of the farmers had been attacked by . hundreds of Kaffirs in open daylight, jcarrying off the greater part of their isheep (about 6,000) and nearly all heir horned cattle; in consequence (of which the farmers had all left the frontier. We might add many stich para: graphs’ asthe above, did our room jpermit.
