Some four or five ‘new mills have been erected, and a large number of ledges are being prospected.— Some ten or a dozen copper companies have been organized, and conimenced sinking shafts and running tunnels for the purpose” of testing their leads. Almost every man in the city has “‘feet” in a copper lead. Cop. per-ia a new, and destined we think, to’ become a rich source of revenue to the county. ‘The mineral pruspects of Nevada were never brighter. Large placer districts which could not be made to pay on account of the _ immense expense of working ‘them ‘afew years ago, will now yield a handsome pactfor the. tebor expended onthem. The quartz that in this neighborhood hagzantil reeently:} remained untouched, is now teceiving fuch attention methods of working quartz, and cheapness of _ labor, leads which a few years ago were prospected and abandoned, are made to pay. During the present season leads have-been decnvered that are pow pnying as much as the richest diggings of '50 and ’51. We believe that the yield of treasure fur 1862 will be equal to that of any previous year.

That much is due to ~ the dignity of Califorma, which has been a loyal supporter of the Administration. PROJ“CTED LINE OF CALIFORNIA STEAMrRs.—Capt. Henry Randall, having failed to enlist the sympathy of New York capitalists in the establishment of a connecting tine of eteamors between California, Europe and the Eastern States, has turned ‘his attention ‘to Philadelphia, where he has met with the moat satisfactory encouragement. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company bas subscribed ~ $200,000, Drexel & Co. $100,000, and English capitalists have comé forward with liberal alacrity. ‘The prospect of another line is therefore considered good.
