Tbe most important surfuce indications iu this connty, ore fonnd along tho hanks of the Mattole creek, and here the first wells were sunk, and the first oil struck in depth. Bya careful examination of tho country, however, those versed in the search after oil, have of late preferred to go north of the Mattole creek in the prosecution of their explorations. They have been led to this lrom the peculiar chauge in the oil strata, which is observable to the northward, especinlly along the sea coast, near and at the mouth of Kel river. The strata there is fouud to be uearly horizontal, or with but a slight dip to the north, which inclination rapidly increases as the traveler passes south, nntil it attains a uniform inclination of nearly, or quite, 45°. The argument to be deduced from these facts is, that the greater disturbance south, opens a vent for the escape of the oil at the surface, and renders the surface indications much more noticcable thau, where, by a lack of this disturbance, the oil must he kept more closely confined in its subterranean receptacles, until the augur of the prospector reaches its for the henefit of the human race, for whose use it was originally designed. A careful examination of the country, from the Mattole creek all the way even to the extreme northern limits of the county, gives the most assuring indications of the existence of oil. The oil produced in the Kel river valley, and to the northward of that point, can be taken to market at a small expense for transportation. With this view of the case, operators are now taking active steps for the development of the oil interest ail along the Eel river valley, and in the vicinity of Eureka. Several wells are now in progress ; and the probabilities are, that the resources of Humboldt county, in this particular, will soon be largely increased. Nothing but a lack of facilities for transportation prevents, even now, a large supply of the crude oil coming to this market, from the Mattole, instead of the driblets of the few barrels ata time, which we are now receiving. Tse Later Strike 1 tan CaLenonian ToxnEL.—The Caledonian Tunnel Company of Virginia City have been incessantly at work upon their big tunnel, for five years past, nntil they have penetrated 2,000 feet into the mountain, cuttiug three several ledges. ‘They claim title to ten—their ground heing bouuded on the north by the Overman. The Virginia Union of the 15th, says the north drift, which has recently disclosed a seam iuthe distance of fifty-five feet, has widened to a mass of pay ore, constuntly increasing in size and quality, which it is thought will now pay $50 to the ton. -The Company think tbey have the Comstock ledge, or if not, at least somethiug quite as good. The Gold Hill News, in speaking of the same strike, says: This Jedge was cut some two years since, hut was very narrow at that point in the tunnel. A drift was run south some five hundred feet, and although a large hody of quartz was found, it was mostly harren. About six weeks since, another drift was ruu to the north on) the seam, which, at a distance of fifty-five feet, has widened to a fiue mass of pay ore, at least . pent-up confines, and gives it an artificial vent . . ledge. About fifty tons af ure havo now been earthed, and will doabtless work nt least $30 per ton by mill process, us the ussaycd value is much higher. Ina short time this ore will be erushed,, and the Caledonia will realize its first bac of bullion. ‘The character of the oro from the first ledge is evidently very similur to all the ore from the Coimstock lode, nnd wo sawn lurge omount that showed silver sulphorets in a crystallized formntion. ‘lhe foreinan, Mr. R.
