ROYAL ANECDOTE. As Joseph II, Emperor of Austria, was driving his one-horse cab. riolet, dressed in the garb of a citizen, he was accosted by a soldier who. mistaking him fora man of middle class, requested a seat in the vehicle. . 1 ‘*‘Willingly,” replied the Em-' peror ; jump in in, ‘comrade, for . Pm in a berry.” The soldier was soon seated a-' longside of the Emperor, and be-' came very loquacious. . “C de,’’ said he slap-. ome, comrade,” sai pping the Emperor familliarly on . the back, ‘‘are you good at gues-_ sing ?”’ ‘* Perhaps Iam,” said Joseph, . ‘¢ try me.” ine the plot and obtain a certificate ' lots'as they may select. ; Unless the above is strictly adhered to, it . Grass Valley Cemetery. The above Cemetery has been fenced, the ground cleared, surveyed and laid out in lots of 10x15 each, with suitable walks aad carriage roads. To defray the expenses, each lot is assessed at $5. A reasonable reduction will be made to families or societies wishing more than . one lot. A register of all lots taken as numbered, and a record of all burials is kept by Messrs Chcek & Pope, at their Furniture Ware Rooms on Mill St., where books are provided, for that purpose. A plat of the ground, as’ laid off in lots walks, &c., can be seen at any time at the above office. . .

This Association was formed at Sacramento, July 18th, 1857, and is composed of sa¢h persons as are engaged or interested in Quartz mining in this State. Any such person can become a member by enrol. . ling his name on the books of the Association and paying into the Treasury the sum of $5, which payment also entitles him to a copy of ‘the California Mining Journal. The plan of the Association is similar to that of the various State Agricultural Societies, and its chief object is to diffuse such information as may be thought useful to persons engaged in quartz operations, by the publication of original and selected papers in the official organ of the Association, or otherwise as may. be deemed proper; also to encourage and aid the free interchange of sentiments and friendly intercourse among quartz miners generally.

It will be seen by reference to the proceedings at the crganization of the California Quartz Miners’ Association, published in the July number, that an Office of Registry was authorized to be established by the Register and Curator of the Association, Horace P. Russ, Esq. Mr. R. has accordingly established himself for that purpose at Russville, on the American river, opposite Folsom, a location easy of access and central. He has prepared a suitable office for the purpose, and now invites all persons to forward as Soon as possible, fair und average specimens of their leads, with a proper description of the same, such as locality, &c., width of yein, and if for sale, the terms upon which it can be purchased. By the practical operation of the Register’s Office, all persons seeking for opportunity to enter the business of Quartz mining may, without difficulty, obtain the locality of nearly all the veins thatare for sale. Messrs. Wells, fargo & Co., will forward all specimens to the office of Register free of charges. The advantages of an office of this description will be apparent to all, and the more general the practice of recording specifications, &c., the more useful the plan will become to the public.

A register of all lots taken as numbered, and a record of all burials is kept by Messrs Chcek & Pope, at their Furniture Ware Rooms on Mill St., where books are provided, for that purpose.

These oils are put up in quart flasks ; each flask contains sufficient oil for making three hundred gallons.of liquer_Tull_ and comnrehensive directions accompany the bottles. Price$2per bottle.

Paes — “Be. ¥ Reisman California Quartz Mining Assoctinion. This Association was formed at Sacramento, July 18th, 1857, and is composed of sa¢h persons as are engaged or interested in Quartz mining in this State. Any such person can become a member by enrol. . ling his name on the books of the Association and paying into the Treasury the sum of $5, which payment also entitles him to a copy of ‘the California Mining Journal. The plan of the Association is similar to that of the various State Agricultural Societies, and its chief object is to diffuse such information as may be thought useful to persons engaged in quartz operations, by the publication of original and selected papers in the official organ of the Association, or otherwise as may. be deemed proper; also to encourage and aid the free interchange of sentiments and friendly intercourse among quartz miners generally. OFFICERS OF THE ASSOCIATION. Samuel Purdy, Calaveras, President. Horace P. Russ, Sacramento, Register and Curator.” W. B. Ewer, Nevada, Corresponding Sceretary. Executive Committee.—Messrs. H. P. Russ, of Sacramento ; Gen. Cadwallader, of Calaveras ; J. Flournoy Johnson, of Butte ; Wm, P. Jones,,of Amador ; J. W. Steeley, of.E' Dorado ; W. G. Heslep, of Tuolumne = William Watt, of Nevada ; ‘Thomas Moreland, of Placer. ae~ Persons desirous of becoming members of the Association can do so by sending their names to any member of the Executive Committee, with the usual fee. It is desirable, in order to add to the usefulness o the Association, that it should embrace as large a number as possible of the Quartz miners of California, and it is hoped that all who feel an active interest im the success of Quartz tnining, will avail themsalves of an early opportunity toearoll their names as above. = 2 aco ada eae eR a RO Quartz [Mining Registry Office. It will be seen by reference to the proceedings at the crganization of the California Quartz Miners’ Association, published in the July number, that an Office of Registry was authorized to be established by the Register and Curator of the Association, Horace P. Russ, Esq. Mr. R. has accordingly established himself for that purpose at Russville, on the American river, opposite Folsom, a location easy of access and central. He has prepared a suitable office for the purpose, and now invites all persons to forward as Soon as possible, fair und average specimens of their leads, with a proper description of the same, such as locality, &c., width of yein, and if for sale, the terms upon which it can be purchased. By the practical operation of the Register’s Office, all persons seeking for opportunity to enter the business of Quartz mining may, without difficulty, obtain the locality of nearly all the veins thatare for sale. Messrs. Wells, fargo & Co., will forward all specimens to the office of Register free of charges. The advantages of an office of this description will be apparent to all, and the more general the practice of recording specifications, &c., the more useful the plan will become to the public. Any further information on this subject can be obtained by communicating with the Register direct. 4a5~ Persons communicating with the Register, on their own business, should not fail to enclose a Post Office stamp or paid envelope from the Express office.
