That quartz mining already extensively engaged in, is soon to be greatly augmented in this vicinity so as to conduce largely to the welfare of the city, can no longer be doubted. The extent of the rock deposits, the capital invested in the different mnillg, the number of hands employed in the various departments, would alone add largely to the probabilities of such a result.

They are not only the first to put coaches upon the roads ‘to new localities, but they have also actually constructed hundreds of miles of roads in various parts of the State in order to reach those localities. We have recently heard of a new and characteristic enterprise undertaken by this Company—which is .no less than the construction of astage road across the Sierra Nevada. While the State government has been talking and legislating over this matter for the last eighteen months, without coming to any practical result, this Company has taken hold of the matter and evinced a determination to put the road through independent and alone, before the arrival of the nest emigration from the East. The Town Talk, speaking of this enterprise says: ; “We have it from the most undenbted 21-! ‘thority that the California Stage Gompavy ; wil] pos on a line of stages so Carsom Vatigy, . i comer ting direct wieh Fone aee7 ocevaae ; .

MamMotH War Enoines.—The preparations now making in England for the contemplated attack on Cronstadt, are by far the most complete and immense which have ever been undertaken in any war. One of the English founderies are now engaged in casting shells of a magnitude which woald seem almost fabulous. ‘These shells are three feet in diameter, and will weigh upwards of a ton and a half when charged. The mortars from which they are to be discharged must be perfect monsters of guns, and will weigh 35 tons each! These monster shells are to be projected about three miles, and are designed as presents for the citizens of Cronstadt. It would seem as if no work of man could stand before such projectiles, when propelled by an adequate force.

After going the depth of four feet one of the party who was using @ crow bar, was seen suddenly to fall upon his face; upon examination a hole . was found about four inches wide, through which the bar had slipped and sunk into the bowels of the mountain. The aperture was immediately enlarged, but it was found that . owing to brittleness of the rock, it was exceedingly dangerous working around it. The parties have taken up three thousand feet around the hole, and are busy getting windlasses, &c., to prospect it further. We are told that on Mondey they will be ready te commence operations.” “ We shall watch for further reports from the explorers. REDUCTION oF AURIFEROUs QuaRtTz.—The following from the Londen Mining Journal, will be interesting to many of our readers: “We have had an opportunity, during the week, of visiting the laboratory of the Royal Panopticon of Science and Art, to witness some experiments by Mr. Harris. of Dolgelly, assisted by Mr. Ansell, the professional chemist of the institution, for the economical extraction of gold from its matrix. The process is, we believe, a modification of an old German method, aided by the extensive experience and important chemical discoveries of modern times. The ore is from the Chancellorsville Mine in Virginia, a quartz deeply covered with the red oxyd of iron; this is first calcined, and reduced to an impalpable powder, which is then placed in a glass retort immersed in q cistern of water. Kept up to boiling temperature ; this is connected by glass tubes, with a generator, in which chlorine of gas is produced by the decomposition of the black oxyd of manganese, acted upon by hydrochloricacid. This gas passes through, and thoroughly saturating every particle of the gold dust, hitherto invisible, converts the same into a soluble chloride of gold. The sand is then well washed, the chloride consequently dissolved, anda stream carburretted hydrogen being passed throughout the solution, precipitates the metallic gold in the form of a deep purple powder.— In one portion of the apparatus a particle of leaf guld was placed in a glass tube, to show the effects of chlorine on metallic gold. and which was rapidly acted upon by it, being converted into a beauti-green chloride, lining the inside of the tube like a web. The proGéss is expected so be very economical ona large scale.”’ Catrrornia Gotp.—It appears that for some time back the gold received at the east from California has been found more than usually loaded with the small crystals of the natural alloy called iridosmium, (the hard and intractable substance used for the tips of gold pens.) This body, says the Washington Star, is infusible, unalloyed with other metals, and insoluable to acids. Until lately, the quantity of it has been only about half an ounce in one million of dollars. Last week, however, one deposit of only one hundred and sixty ounces, contained seven ounces or more of iridosmium. From intractibility and extreme hardness, it isa great annoyance to the workers of gold who use a metal containing it, and it sometimes causes them heavy losses. It is believed that most of the gold now received from California contains large quantities of this substance.— Chronicle. Rock Satr.—An immense bed of salt was lately discovered in Cache Creek canon, Yolo county. A brine spring, discharging enough water for four mill races, is also found in the canon.—Sac. Union. This formation of rock salt has been Known to the native Californians and old settlers of Sonoma for twenty years. It is not to be surpassed by any salt in the world, and exists in sufficient quantities to supply the whole Pacific coast. It has the crystaline appearance of loaf sugar, and is as white as snow. It is extremely pure and pleasant tasted, and appears to have no foreign mixture. It is probably a formation of pure muriate of soda, and will one day be of as great value as the celebrated mines of Cracow, in Poland, which have been worked for the last seven hundred years.—Monterey Sentinel.

The facts as gleaned frpiithe victim, a Mr. Welch, are as . follows: He had contratted disease ; and was induced through the flaming advertisements of Drs.

They are not only the first to put coaches upon the roads ‘to new localities, but they have also actually constructed hundreds of miles of roads in various parts of the State in order to reach those localities. We have recently heard of a new and characteristic enterprise undertaken by this Company—which is .no less than the construction of astage road across the Sierra Nevada. While the State government has been talking and legislating over this matter for the last eighteen months, without coming to any practical result, this Company has taken hold of the matter and evinced a determination to put the road through independent and alone, before the arrival of the nest emigration from the East. The Town Talk, speaking of this enterprise says: ; “We have it from the most undenbted 21-! ‘thority that the California Stage Gompavy ; wil] pos on a line of stages so Carsom Vatigy, . i comer ting direct wieh Fone aee7 ocevaae ; .

The mortars from which they are to be discharged must be perfect monsters of guns, and will weigh 35 tons each! These monster shells are to be projected about three miles, and are designed as presents for the citizens of Cronstadt.

REDUCTION oF AURIFEROUs QuaRtTz.—The following from the Londen Mining Journal, will be interesting to many of our readers: “We have had an opportunity, during the week, of visiting the laboratory of the Royal Panopticon of Science and Art, to witness some experiments by Mr. Harris. of Dolgelly, assisted by Mr. Ansell, the professional chemist of the institution, for the economical extraction of gold from its matrix. The process is, we believe, a modification of an old German method, aided by the extensive experience and important chemical discoveries of modern times. The ore is from the Chancellorsville Mine in Virginia, a quartz deeply covered with the red oxyd of iron; this is first calcined, and reduced to an impalpable powder, which is then placed in a glass retort immersed in q cistern of water. Kept up to boiling temperature ; this is connected by glass tubes, with a generator, in which chlorine of gas is produced by the decomposition of the black oxyd of manganese, acted upon by hydrochloricacid. This gas passes through, and thoroughly saturating every particle of the gold dust, hitherto invisible, converts the same into a soluble chloride of gold. The sand is then well washed, the chloride consequently dissolved, anda stream carburretted hydrogen being passed throughout the solution, precipitates the metallic gold in the form of a deep purple powder.— In one portion of the apparatus a particle of leaf guld was placed in a glass tube, to show the effects of chlorine on metallic gold. and which was rapidly acted upon by it, being converted into a beauti-green chloride, lining the inside of the tube like a web. The proGéss is expected so be very economical ona large scale.”’ Catrrornia Gotp.—It appears that for some time back the gold received at the east from California has been found more than usually loaded with the small crystals of the natural alloy called iridosmium, (the hard and intractable substance used for the tips of gold pens.) This body, says the Washington Star, is infusible, unalloyed with other metals, and insoluable to acids. Until lately, the quantity of it has been only about half an ounce in one million of dollars. Last week, however, one deposit of only one hundred and sixty ounces, contained seven ounces or more of iridosmium. From intractibility and extreme hardness, it isa great annoyance to the workers of gold who use a metal containing it, and it sometimes causes them heavy losses. It is believed that most of the gold now received from California contains large quantities of this substance.— Chronicle. Rock Satr.—An immense bed of salt was lately discovered in Cache Creek canon, Yolo county. A brine spring, discharging enough water for four mill races, is also found in the canon.—Sac. Union. This formation of rock salt has been Known to the native Californians and old settlers of Sonoma for twenty years. It is not to be surpassed by any salt in the world, and exists in sufficient quantities to supply the whole Pacific coast. It has the crystaline appearance of loaf sugar, and is as white as snow. It is extremely pure and pleasant tasted, and appears to have no foreign mixture. It is probably a formation of pure muriate of soda, and will one day be of as great value as the celebrated mines of Cracow, in Poland, which have been worked for the last seven hundred years.—Monterey Sentinel.
