Sargent and Jacobs — Length, 20 miles} cost, $60,000. Soe It should be rememberedthat some of these ditches have fallen’ into: dis-use since the inhibition of hydraulic Another system of mining of: even greater prominence is that of quartz Mining. Gold in quartz was first. discovered in Grass Valley by a German. in September, 1850. Not realizing the value of the quartz found, the finder sold it for $b. It afterwards brought $100, but the pioneers were so enveloped in mining the placers that: little Or no attention was paid to ‘the discovery. Iu October of the same year & man nemed McKnight, who camped on the summit. of Goid Hill, discovered what has since been’known as the Gold Hill be So rich Pike Mere vein, fhe ore yielding $50 to t that. the news of the “discovery spread .as rapidly throughout the State as the news service then in vogue would admit, and thousands of men flocked to the scene of the wonderful find. ‘Since that-time Grass Valiey has muintained her position as the leading quartz mining district of the State, . Shortly after this gold in quartz was discovered in Nevada City, aud.the exwhen.it. me known that veins existed througbout the couuty in profusion. In 1850 the Empire:mine of Grass Valley, which has worked almost continuously ever siuve, was located, while® in 1851 the Providence, Merrifield and Gold ‘Tunnel veins were located iff this city. From that day. to the present time quartz mining has been a permanent industry in this county. Like every other industry it has fluctuated. It bas had its periods of depression aud prosperity, but never has there been a time when it. failed to yield the precious metal. {nthe early days there were many drawbacks and disappointments on account of a lack of wiedge of the mining and milling of gold ores, But'as these difficulties disappeared, a larger measure of prosperity attended the efforts of the miners, so much so that in 1857 the. mines: of: Grass Valley were in a flourishing condition while in Nevada City great improvements were observed. From 1869 to 1862 the mining industry was again in a very yg Sage condition. But in 1866, per J. Browne’s report, there were stamps, crushing 71,420 tons. of ore, with an average yield of from $80 1o $35, in Grass Valley, and 142 stamps, crashing 14,200 tons of ore, averaging $25, in Nevada City. ‘We are sorry that through lack of space we are prevented from giving a deseription of the geological formation of the county, as such description seems absolutely essential in conjunction with a study of the various ore bodies. But the editor’s mandate is absolute though sometimes unbearable. It will be seen from the descriptions ofthe various mines printed recently that the mining industry of Nevada county was never in 4 more prosperous state. With steam, water and électricity available as a motor power, and “other conditions equally favorable, Nevada offers inducements for investment which no other county in the State can offer.
