ba cg Pe ee, eee ——— Nevada County Official Press, TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 5th. eke hand Seca a CopreR.—We have visited the copper region. We haye_ cracked cuperiferous rocks, traced lodes, speculated about indicalead, the, Consolidated, the Distillery, the Mammoth, the Last Chance and the Wild Trish, ae if we were the wisest copper-head in the county. We have run over the foot hills in the broiling sun, rode through canons, ‘brush and chapparal, trod down the gree in rancheros, meadows, fretted, sweat and steamed, on 4 wild-goose chase, all for copper. And now we are going to write nbout it. We are interested in a half dozen Claims of more, and, thexefore, we warn our readers to take what we may. say about the prospects, with whatever allowance they plese. -.-= The copper region embraces a-strip of territory about twelve miles wide extending from south-east to north«west through the lower part.of the county. This whole belt of country is ribbed with copper-bearing ledges. Of course, it is not tobe expected that all these ledges will pay. But few of them are as yet touched by ininers, and of these few but a small number have given sure signs of paying, It is true, compara~ tively but little work hus been done even on-theledges that show the best signs. The “Well claim, the oldest in the count#, aid’ in which the copper was first struck, has a shaft lesa than twenty feet deep. In this the presi, eRe RP pias see vee ahi > what the thickness of the ledge is. ney House, ledge is found to be solid and very hard to-+} work, every inch in depth has to be made by: blasting. The ore taken out from the bottom of the shaft is fine grained, and com-. pact, assaying at the present time, we are told, some thirty per cent. It is not known It cov~ ers the whole bottom of the shaft, and the signs are favorable that it is much thicker. A few tons of ore lie upon the ground ready for shipment, and more is being slowly raised daily. The Well claim is considered valuavie, although, at the present time the excitement is about the Last Chance and Mams} moth companies. some three or four miles northwardly from the Well. Next to the Well claim southward, and on the same lead, is the Consolidated ground, belonging to an incorporated company. The company Claims 3,000 feet, and it is consider. ed valuable though hothing. bat a few ‘good indicatiotie have been found on the claims.— The Well lead can be distinctly traced threugh the grounds. North of the Well and on the same.lead, are:the Nevada, Amador, Hagadorn;‘and other companies. But little work has been done in that ditection, and we have no knowledge ofthe prospects. Near the distillery, not far from Bear_rivs er, is the Distillery ledge—an immense one, from appearances. A shaft has been sunk on the ledge twenty-four feetindepth. Sul. phurets assaying from sixteen to twenty per cent. ate found at that depth. Those who know mote about coppper than we do, suppose the Distillery claims to be valuable.— Sales have been made for five dollars per foot. ites But the district that ie attracting the most attention at present is that back of the DowInterests in the List Chance . company, in that district, we are told, have been gold to prominent men of Sacramento ut the rate of ten dollars a fuot. The Mam~ moth, Wild Cat, Wild Irish, and Geni. Hook: er Companies are in this district. As yet, but the merest acratching On_the surface has been done by any of these companies.— The indications are, so far, first rate. The croppings are of unusual richness. It is too oon to tell what is going-to be the result of the copper discoveries in this courty. That good leads will be opened there can be but little doubt, but where the -best ones will be found, time can only detere mine. The region to be proved is alarge one. We believe it ie rich in mineral res sources. Bnt-we would caution oue friends against being taken in by wild cat speculax tors. : COMPLIMENTARY SERENADE.—The Union gives an account of a complimentary seres nadé given to Mr. Sargent in Sacramento on Saturday night.

That dipping strips of bread and butter into object to your doing as you please, if you will let me break my egg at the small end,” retorted the husband. “Tam sure my way is not quite as bad as stead of using a fork; and you always eat the syrup, as if you were not aecustomed ta have such things.
