NEVADA DEMOCRAT.
_ Repvcrron or Quanrz.—The celebrated Soulsby quartz lead, in Tuolumne county, has passed
into the hands of Mr. Geo. H. Pond, a metallurgist of considerable experience, who has discovered a new process for the reduction of
quartz rock and sulpburets, The Sonora Democrat says that the process is adapted to all
kinds of veins and mills, Some time since a
quantity of sulphurets was shipped to England,
which yielded at the rate of $286 66 per ton.
The same material, by Mr. Pond’s process
worked upon the claim, netted $320—showiog
a difference in favor of his process of $34 per
ton. The poorest rock in thie claim, whioh contains but five per cent of the sulpharets, yields
one hundred per cent more by Mr. P’s. process
than by any ordinary methed of working.
Many samples from other veins have been tried,
which yielded from one hundred to fifteea hundred per cent more than by the mills upon their
respective veins. One ton of rock from the
claims of Moultman & Co., yielded $41 a toa—
the rock being taken without selection from the
whole width of the vein, The same material,
worked at their mill, only yielded from $3 to
$3 50 per ton. A sample of concentrated eulpharets, taken from the Chrystal Mill, after undergoing the process of Selim Woodworth,
whoee works are located at North Beach, Sao
Franciseo, yielded at the rate of $5008 ton.
To every eve interested in quartz, the discovery of Mr. Pond is fraught with deep interest.
. Hundreds of leads have been opened and prospected in the mining counties, which have been
found unprofitable to work by the ordinary
method, bat which can be worked to advantage
by Mr. Pond’s process, if the experiments that
have been made are any criterion to judge of
ite value.
DepartUrk OF THE Sonona,—The steamer Sonora sailed on the 11th inst., for Panama, with
229 passengers aud $1,074,732 in treasure.
Wells, Farge & Co. sent 5,000 letters aud 500
. pounds of newspapers, Freeman & Co, also
forwarded a large amount of express matter,
The Postmaster at San Francisco had received
no instructions from the Circumlocution Office
at Washington relative to forwarding the mails,
consequently they were not sent,
Harp to Kitt.—“Steamboat Jake’’ was shot
by officer Rand, at San Francisco, at 10 o'clock
on Saturday evening, the 7th inst., and dicd at
9 o’clock on Sunday morning. A post mortem
examination revealed the fact that the ball
paesed through the right auriele of the heart
and lodged in the pericardium, yet he lived
eleven hours.
A Ministeriat, Cauu.—The Rev. Frederick
Huntington, of Boston, one of the most distinguished and able preachers in the United States
and late of the Harvard University, hae been

Deati ov 4 Moxister.—-The Rev. Chas. Hedges, © young minister of the Presbyterian per. suasion, died at Marysville Jast Wednesday.
He bad recently graduated at the Princeton

bopee proved unavailing.
Murper Triats,—The cases of F, N. Smith
and Jobo Roberts, under indictment in Sacramento for the murder of H. M. Hughes, have
been postpened, the former to the 13th and 14th
of August next. The postponement was asked
on the ground of absent witnesses, for whom
attachments were issued.
Gop Mixes in) Artzona.— Letters from Arizona, state that there is considerable excitement in that Territory, on account of reported
gold dircoveries. The mines are in the neighborhood of Santa Rita del Cobre, and are said
to be very rich.

A Caurroryia Vineyarp.—A t
of the 8. F. Times has recently visited the
of Col. Ha: , in Sonoma county, said to be the
in the State. The vines cover 240 acres, of
140 acres are in bearing condition. Ma Ye 3
bey will be very heavy, and will yield 70,
to 80,000 ms of wine. inamen are now going
through vine rows with hoes, and white men
with plows. The Chinese do not know much about
the man it of horses, but are excellent with
those hand tools which require no great experience
nor skill for the proper use of them. They imitate
with perfect exactness what they see done. The’
are, within the limits of their capacity, faithful an
useful hands. Col. H. employs twenty-two of the
Orientals, and eight white men. He pays to the
former per month, and they furnish their own
board. ey consume rice and vegetables, with
about one-fourth the meat necessary for the supply
of a white yaar’ dieple —_ to see that hee oA
twenty-two Mongols ace the same number 0!
white men; and it is further evident that as they
are an inferior caste, the hoeing of vines will soon
come to hold about the same relation to other agrieultural labor which they hold in the social scale.
Some of the vines on this are twenty-ei
years old, but they are not self-supporting. A wine
vault has been excavated out of the hill, some 300
yards from the house,
Tux Tan.es Tvuanep.—For some years after
the discovery of gold in California, our State was
supplied to a large extent with wheat from Chile—
the expense attending the production of the cereals
here, and the comparative cheapness with which it
could be supplied from the Chilean ports, making
the trade an eminently lucrative one. Now the
tables of trade between the two nations have been
sufficiently reversed to render it a money-maki
operation to ship wheat to Chile. The wonderfu
improvements in American agriculture have enabled us to successfully compete with the South
Americans, and beat them at their own trade, It
is the same as rane our relations with Australia,
which, once partly supplying us with grain, now
receives thousands of tons per annum from our
pve oc wheat fields. No country can long successfully compete with us in raising grain for the
world’s market, and California wheat will yet be
eaten in the shape of bread in Syria, Africa, Russia,
Jerusalem, Egypt, and all along the Mediterranean,
as it is already in Chile, Australia, Sandwich Islands, the Atlantic States, England and most of
Europe.
Tus Coso Mines.—This is the name given to
the recently discovered mines in Eastern Tulare,
which are thus spoken of in the Visalia Delta:
The leads thus far discovered are mostly silver,
There are some, however, very rich in gold and
copper, which parties are now preparing to work.
Miners are beginning to work their way into the
surrounding hills, and from all appearance, this
will soon be a lively mining district. The want of
water is going to be the main trouble. Messrs.
Farley, Walden, and other members of the “Coso
Mining ot at rn have arrived in Visalia for the
porpose of completing their organization and filing
articles of incorporation in this county. They bring
with them nineteen different qualities of ore from
the mines, to be assayed in San Francisco, consisting of gold, silver, copper, tin and lead ores, all of
which is believed to be rich. Assays have heretofore been made from the croppings of one lead,
pie F haere upwards of $1,200 in silver, and $30
in gold.
Tue Trusty System.—McCauley’s plan for reducing the expenses of the State Prison, by allowing
the convicts to work at « distance from it and leave
at will, is well known. A correspondent of the
Union tells how a negro trusty behaved :
He had established his reputation as a good hunter, and one day he prevailed on McCauley to furnish him with a horse to ride, a mule to pack a
week's provisions, a double barreled gun and one
or two revolvers. He desired to go on a hunting
excursion, to be gone a week, oak at the end of
that time he ae he would be able to bring in
as much game as his mule could carry. In spenking of his loss, it is related of McCauley that he
did not feel any uncasiness about the negro until he
had been gone ten days; then it beeame almost
positive that “the d—d nigger had deserted the
ranch.” It is said the negro is now keeping a restaurant somewhere over in Washoe.
Wirr-SteaLing.—The Marysville Express, of
Wednesday last, says that a man named Charles
Hofman, a cooper by trade, with his wife and two .
children, reside in that city. Some time ago a man
named Anderson made the acquaintance of Mrs.
Hofman, and after some time, prevailed on her to
leave her husband and live with him. He rented a
house adjoining the one in which Hofman lived,
furnished itand took Mrs. Hofman to live with
him, she taking her children with her. Hofman
applied to the station house for assistance to get
his children. He expressed a willingness to let the
women go, if he could only get his children.
Susvr Raisino—Mr. 8S. B. Rockwell, the great
sheep raiser, writing for the Solano County Herald,
says: Sheep are the most profitable of all the
domestic animals, A given amount of capital invested in good, fine-woolod sheep, will give in the
ps of five or seven years, an income greater, by
5 or 100 per cent., than if invested in any other of .
the domestic animals. One thousand dollars invested in good sheep in California, will double in
one-half the time it would if invested in cattle,
horses or hogs.
Tue CorvpLy Minus.—A letter from Crescent
City, dated July 3d, says that specimens of copper
ore are to be found on every table and shelf, and
in every man’s pocket in town; not to speak of
large lumps and packages thereof to be seen
in the offices of the various companies. The ore
from some of the claims is unquestionably very rich,
and seems as though it might be very easily reduced.
Several of the companies are steadily at work, opening their claims and taking out ore.
Homicripg.—A man named William A. Borland
was shet and killed in Visalia on the 4th inst., by a .
man named Brown. The Delta says that the men
were both intoxicated. The weapon used was one
of the largest Colt’s revolvers. Two shots were discharged, one taking effect in the elbow, and the
ouner i vne avaomeén. Borland lived about three
hours after he was shot. Brown was arrested and
delivered into the custody of the Sheriff.
Coppen Mininc Company.—A joint stock
company, named the “Cornwall Mining Company,”
formed for the purpose of working the copper mines
recently discovered in the foot-hills of San Joaquin
county, has been organized in Stockton. The capital stock is fixed at $105,000—2,100 shares of $50 .
each. One or more additional companies, having .
the same object in view, are in course of organization.
InpianN Deprepations.—The overland stage
from the East, which passed Visalia on the 4th
inst., was nearly twenty-four hours behind time.
A ger informed the Delta, that the detention
was caused by Indian edations on the borders
of Texas. The Coman Indians had murdered
the station keeper, and stolen the stock from the
station.
Drepoine THE OAKLAND Bar—The Commissioners, under the act by the last Legislature,
to provide for the dredging of Oakland Bar, adver.
tise for bidders to commence the work, the cost not .
to exceed thirty-five thousand dollars for all the
material and the performance of the work,
cee CL
CrxnaBAR—A company has been formed in
Colo’ to work a quicksilver mine, near Center.
ville, El Dorado county, The mine was discovered
some two or three months since, and the company
have sufficient confidence in its richness to give it
a thorough test.
MoveMENT OF Troors.—Lieutenants Piper and
Loraine, of the Third Artillery, with their company
stationed at Fort Umpqua, have been ordered by
General Clark to Klamath Lake, on account of
Indien disturbances which have recently occured in
that section,
Tue amount of money netted to the 8 of

A REMARKABLE PROPHECY.
In the July number of the Hesperian, we find
a curious article from the pen of “Caxtoa’’—
W. H. Rhodes—on the subject of “Prophecies.”
After relating some vague ancient predictions,
the writer copies the conclading portions of
what is known as Les Prévisions d’Oreal, foretelling the more remarkable events of Europe
during the 19th century. The prophecy is said
to have been printed as long ago as 1544, and
is attributed to a monk named Philip Olivarious.
The document was found among the archives
of the abbey of Orval, in Luxembourg, about
1792. While the French were. blockaking the
city, the abbot of Orval, in arranging and examioing the papers of the abbey discovered the
Provisions, which so clearly predicted the death . jointed parts,
of Louis XVI, that they won extravrdivary
attention. The paragraphe relating to the
death of the king, and the overthrow of the
Frevch monarchy, have been left out of all the
copies recently published; but the portion
given below was printed in Parisian newspapers
in 1839, and in Blackwood'’s Magazine in 1848.
The small type gives the text of the prophecy,
and the interspersed paragraphs in larger type
are the calculations, explanations, and remarks
of “Caxton,” who bas also taken the liberty ef
dividing the prophecy into verses aod numbering them:
1. At that time, a young man eome from beyond the
sea, into the country of Celtic Gaul, shows himself strong
in counsel.
Napoleon I. is here moat accurately described.
2, But the mighty to whom he gives umbra; will
send bim to combat in the land ef the captivity. Viotory
will bring him back,
Alluding to the jealousy of the French Directors who planned the expedition to Egypt to
get rid of him.
3. The sons of Brutus will be confounded at hie approach, fer he will overpower them and take the name of
emperor.
His victory of the sections is here predicted,
where he put down the Republicans, characterized throughout the prévisions as the sons of
Brutus.
4. Many great and powerful kings will be seized with
fear, and bis eagle will carry off many sceptres and crowns,
5. Men on footand on horse, carrying blood-stained
eagles, and as numerous as gnats in the air, will ran with
him throughout Europe, which will be filled with con
sternation and carnage, For he will be so powerful that
God will be thought to combat en bis side,
6, The church of God, in great desolation, will be
somewhat comforted, for she shall see her temples opened
again to her sheep, and God praised, But all is over; the
moons are past,
The tirst act of Bonaparte, after he attained
supreme power, was to reinstate divine worship
iv public.
7. The old man of Zion cries to God from his afflicted
hegrt, and beheld the mighty one is blinded for his crimes.
Pope Pius VII.
8. He leaves the great city with an army so mighty
that none was seen to be compared to it,
Expedition to Russia, and its consequences,
9. But never will the warrior bear up against the
state of the weather, and behold the third part, and again
the third part of his army has perished by the cold of the
Almighty.
10, two lustrums have passed since the age of desolation ; the widows and the orphans have cried aloud to the
Lords, and behold God is no longer deaf. The mignty
that have been humbled take courage, and combine to
overthrow the man of power,
Bonaparte was erowned on the 2d December,
1804, Two lustrums, or ten years, was the
leugth of bis reign, The grand coalition was
formed in 1814.
11. Behold the ancient bleod of centuries is with them,
and reaumes its place andits abode in the great city,
