Tug Greesuogx Copper Discovery.—Tho
late discovery of copper, by Mr. Thorp, near
the junetion of Greeahorn creek with Bear
river, is ottracting considerablo ntteution. We
took oecasion during our trip, last week, into
Placer and Nevada counties, to pay a sbort
visit to this mitio. We foand tho brothers
Thorp, and their portucr Mr. Smith, busily engaged in sinking a shaft at the original point
of discovery. ‘Tho shaft had “been earried
down somo sixtoen fect, and from it had been
raised some fiftecn tons of ore. ‘Tho yellow
sulphurets were struck within two or threo
feet of the surface, and havo continned down
to the bottoin of the shaft, leaving n distinct
wall of good fooking ore all the wny down on
the gouth side; but considerably broken up
upoa the north side of the shaft.
Much work will yet liavo to bo done npon
this mine to fully develop its value; although
so fur as opened the develupnients sro exevedingly fluttering. Yellow snlpharets are fonnd
slong the line of tle outcrop for the distance
ofa mile or more, and extension claims hove
been taken up for several miles.
Tho vein is inelosed ia a heavy iutrasivo
belt of serpentine —silicate of mngnesia—
which ean be traced for many miles neross
the eountry north and south, haying On ap-.
parent breadth of about half or three-quarters of n mile, and gradually changing on the
east und west to chloritic, and argillaceous
nnd silicious slates. Active operations nre in
pregress for the development of tho mine, nnd
fifty or a hundred tons of ore will soon be delivered.in this city, when it will be sampled
ond urranged, from the results of which we
shall probably be nble to speak more particu.
larly with regard to the value of tbe mine.
Tae AGtxa Inox Wonss.—This new foun
dry and mnehino works estnblishment lit its
fires fur the first timo on ‘Thursday last, and
tarned ont qaite a niee lot of enstings. Tbe
company is composed of several of our most
enterprising meebanics, who lave hitherto been
eounected in varivus eapncities with differeat
foundry establislnments in the city. ‘There was
quite n gutleriug of the friends of the new firm
on tho occasion, uud the hand of fellowship
was niost eordiully extended by their fellow
inechanies. May the fullest meusure of sue.
cess attend thein in their new enterprise.

New Mining Laws of California and Nevada,
We have just issued, in cbeap editioa, the new
laws relnting to mining and corporations in Cali
fornia and Nevnda, passod in 1865-6. Some of
these taws are of the highest importance to parties
interested in the matter of locating and holding
claims, and prospecting mines, in these States.
Copies sent by mail. Price, 25 cents.
Address, Dewey & Co., Patent Agents.
San Francisco, May 1st, 1866.
Jndicious Resolutions,
Srveral ol our most substantial and judiciously managed mining corporations have
passed resolutions, since the approval of the
new assessment law, requiring all notice of
assessineuts and sales to be published in. the
Minixe anp Sorextiric Press, the cnly thorough (daily or weekly) mining joarnal on this
coast. Our efforts to concentrate all mining
advertisements in one paper, for the economieal
conveaience of shareholders and assessinent
piyers, are meeting with decided sueeess.,.
Those who believe in supporting tbe mining
cause, should bear our paper in miad, and
briny up this subjeet ut the next trustee or
sharehulders’ meeting.
Sun Francisco, April 7tb, 1866.
Look Out for Mlegal Advertising!
All assessments of corporations levied on,
or subsequent to, March 26th, are governed by
the new law approved on that day. We notice
that some of our importnnt mining companies
are advertising their assessments illegally ia
the daily aad weekly press of this State. As the
new law is more liberal in its provisioas for,
advertising thnn tbe Act of 1864, these comPanies have yet time to retrace their steps aud
begin anew aad rigbt. We speak of the matter for tbe beaefit of all concerned. We have
Prepared a set of correct blank furms for advertisiag aszessmeats, which we furnish free on
application at onr office, together with rnles for
advertising and copies of tbe new law.
A Pretry Custom.—One of the prettiest of
Christmas custoins is the Norgvegian practice
af giving on Christmas day a dinner to the
birds. On Christmas morning, every gable,’
gateway and barn-door, is deeornted with a
shinf ol corn fixed on the top of a long pole,
wherefrom it is intended that the birds shalt
make their Cliristmas dinner. Even the peas-'!
ants will contrive to have a bandful set by for
this purpose ; and what the birds do not eat
on Christmas day remains for them to fimsh at
their leisure through the winter.
