Black Rock— The evening Tribune of June 30th, says: Fiom a private letter just received from a gentleman in Washoe City, we learn of the discovery of very rich quartz ledges near Black Kock, ninety miles northeast from Honey Like Vatley, A Int of 3,800 pounds yielJed $2.82 or abunt $50 per tou. ‘I'he other lots, which were worked at Dull's mull, yielded us follows: Ligh Tock, per ton, $217; Merrimick, test of 3.800 pounds, $48.95; Monadpock, per ton, waiked, $256; Moradnock rock, per ton, assay, $358.50 ; Eureka, worked, $157 ; Ruby, worked, $200; Burmese, worked, $147; Summit Sierras, worked, $36; tin ore 42 to 824 per cent, ARIZONA. The Alta’s correspondent writes from Mohave City, June 14th: “In regard to the Mines, prospects were never so bright as at preset. ‘Fhe San Francisco district is taking the lead. Mr. Hardy is vigorously prosecuting work on the “ Parsons" fode, ranning two tunnels into the mauntain through which the fode'runs, ono of which is now in 400 fect. The tunnels have already crossed small veins of quartz that are invariably rich, ‘I'he Qneen of the Pucibe Company, on the same Lode, are taking out some rich rock, that will work $125 per ton, nearly all gold. ‘heir tunnel is in 131) feet, aud has struck the vein at a depth of . fifty feet. The Morse Association, of New York, are now develuping the famous Moss lode; have about forty men employed, and will soon have the mine io a paying condition. They have about 250 tons of ore out ready for the mill, some of which is very rich. ‘i'hey havea shalt down 100 feet from the top of the croppings, and drifts running in different directions fram its lowest depth—the one east, some twelve feet, discovers some of the finest specimens of gold-beariug quartz it has ever been my fortune to see.

Despeck, who has just coine over from Heleng, informs us that $18,000 were washed tron the claim of Judson & Metealf,on Montana Bar, Coutuderate Gulch, iv seveu days, and that be saw $4,000 carried away iu a bucket from Smith & Burchett’s claim, alter a ran of ten hours.We learn that mining at Wisconsin Gulch is progressing very favorably. ‘The average pay was about $25 tothe haud.,As the busters were sluicing down to the bedrock, cleaniug olf the Toundation tor their mit at Summit, on the Mesler lode, they eane across the blue clay seums which ulways indi eute the proximity to a lode in this district ; und pursuing their investigatious, they lound a fine ledve, three feet and six iuches in width, aod panning out well, A correspoudent of the same paper says : Speaking of quartz, we may mention that Vol. ‘Keyser has recently hid ten assays made on the New York Extensiow of the Big, or Croesus, or Clif lead, as you chose bo calt it— five of the assays averaging $28, and live $76 to the ton. Lettuce uud radishes are in the inarket. We give this inJormation tor the benefit of those who think that Montana is a regivu of eternal winter. Steamer Big Horn, TL days from St. Louis, bad arnved at Fort Benton, Letter to same, from New York Gulch, says; A nomber of claims on this bar are heine worked, and will average about three hundred dollars per duy to the hand. Jn Unele Jonnie’s Gulch about filteen huudred Ieet ot the flower end will average about tweuty five dollars per hund, -I have also had occasion to visit the bars below the invuntains, on Alagpie Gulch, which empties into the Missouri, just above the Canon Ferry. ‘Pbese bars ure very extensive, and lie on each side of the gulch. ‘They are fram two to twelve leet deep and upwards. Some-gold is found all through the gravel, which latter lies within a foot or two of the suiluce,and prospects, . am told by reliable miners, from one cent’ to ten cents to the pan. Lsaw some ol the gold; it has a beaautul color, and is well washed. Several similar bars are being worked ov Cave Gulch, abuut hall a mile down the ravine, and with a sniall heud of water yield twenty-five dollars per day to the hand. Up above the canon in Cuve Guluh we understand the claims are turning out very well; the diggings are shallow and rich, bnt owing to the small amount of water, not half of the claims are being develuped. The brst dry guich below Cave, kuown here by the naine of Cvoper's Gulch, is very rich, especially in its bars; $5 and $6.25 have been taken out, and all the gravel, which is about six feet deep, prospects largely. But no water can be had, and the distance to lual it is too great to make it profitable~-at least it is so thought. Iu the drain ditch in Kingsherry Gulch, yesterday, they took oot $2.50 to the pin, with a beautiful wasb. ‘hey work and wait pntiently, hut do nut want to sell ‘they have just struck from five to twelve dollars to the pan in Boulder, below Diamond, on Nos. 5 and 6, below discovery. Judyiug from appearances, the gulches oo the right bank of the Missouri river are just being opened, and will not,in the main, get in good working order before oext season.Bonlder is just drained, aud opens remarkably weil.

COLORADO. The Journal of June 12tb, has these iteme : Coming over through Clear Creek county yesterday we noticed that Mr. Sabin had starred tbe Bullion company’s mill. Also that Mr. Mclatyre’ had commenced trying his superheated steain experiment or enterprise. .’I'be Downieville mill is ruuning and good results are confidently anticipated from it.A new The Mining and Scientific Press, millis building just below Mill City.

Altogether the prospects of the county are considered by old residents brighter than evor before. From the Denver News of June 13th, we clip the followiug : The mining seasou is opening with more promise iu Colorado than lor at least three yenrs past. Particularly is this the case in the gnich, bar and placer diggings. More gold will be teken from the washing in Park, Summit and Luke ennnties daring 1866 than in any preceding year, Dealers in nierchandise tellus that iheir sales of gum boots und other similar articles for miners’ wear, are lurger thun io any spring sinee ‘63, Thut year a very large portion ol their sales wereto Montuna und Idaho ailventurers. This year their sules ure confined to the wants of ('vlorndo. Lond inining will also be pushed more actively than for years past.,The assays from nine different ludes in Red Mountain, belunging to” ‘the Union company, yielded un average of one hundred and twenty-five dollars per ton, the lowest assay being S112 per ton. We are ulso creditably informed thut a lode near the ‘Ywin Lakes, the location of which can be seen on the photographs of ‘I'win Lakes, yielda nearly $£,000 per ten, about hall silver. Assays Irom twenty Red Mountain lodes, made last fall by Behr & Keith, of Central City, yielded an average of over $100 per ton. From the Register we gieau the following: Shipments of gold for the past week do not “pan out” as largely as nsual on acconnt of the diffienlty of mining in conseqnence of the ureat annoyance of surlace water. ‘Te heavy show and ruin storms of two or three we ks past, have created un unusual amount of water in several mines, and caused suspension of all woik except pumping. The Narragansett company reports 8f onaces; John Sensenderfer, 83; The Gunnell Co. 142; the Black . Hawk Co. 191; the Briggs Co. 143; Warren, Hussey & Co., about 50; Konntze Bros. 72; and Geo. I. Clark & Co. a sinall lof of about 15 ounces, making in all 177 ounces. There was considerable excitement in regard to reported new discoveries on Bear river. The Journal quotes the following from the Stockholder of May 22d: “ Professor Hit, af Providence, R. L., has just returned from Kurope, where he has been visiting the works for the reduction of ores. It is probably in pursuancc ol his suggestions that one of the great smelting firms at Swansea in Wales, which keeps in operation 140 furnaces, have sent out their agents (expected by steamer now doe), to conduct investigations with a view to the establishineat of sutelting works in Colorado. Lt is found, remarkuble as the result may appear, that Irom ores worked in Colorado with a gross yield of only $10 per ton, the amonnt of $500 per ton has been realized in the treatuient at Swausea.” .OREGON. A clean-up of fifteen tons of White Bull rock at Quartzville yielded $3,000. Nhe Dalles Mountaineer of June 15th says : the nines about Canyon City continue to pay well, particularly those of Olive Creek. Several rich strikes have been made, and the people of that locality think ihat Olive is he mining camp of this upper country.F rem persons who recently arrived from the John Day country we learn that there isa great scarcity of men in those mines.'Ihe recent rich diecoveries on Olive Creek and the waters of the Joho Day, have nearly deponulated other camps in that district. The ruling rates for faborers is $5 and $6 per day.A qnartz mill has heen ordered for the Middle Fork District. i BRITISH COLUNBIA. A private letter from William's Creek, Cariboo, says that times were never so brisk there, or money so pleutiful. Canyon Creek is also spoken of highly. The mining near Big Bend is favorable. . Above the Canyon three companies are taking ont $20 per day on the surface, to the man, with rockers. . About five miles above French Creek snow is three feet deep. ‘Vhe mining companies on the creek are making preparations for work. The Monroe cumpany are faking out about one thousand dollars per day. Tre Pouse.—The pulse of healthy males heats eighty-one times per minute while they are standing, Seventy-one times while sitting, and sixty-six times while lying down. That of a healthy female heats ninety-one times per minute while standing, eighty-four times while sitting, and seventy-nine times lying down. Any muscular activity in eituer of these positioas will, of course, greatly increase the rapidity of the heats. Trades and Manufactures. WM. BARTLING.
