The Nouveau Monde Company have received let-
ters from their superintendent, Mr. Clement, dated
Mount Ophir, California, February 8. He announces
the arrival of the engineer and party sent from Eng-
land, and states that they were actively employed in
the repairs of the machinery and erection of reduc-
tion works. By repairing some of the existing
mills he hopes to obtain results until the more per-
fect machinery is established. The quartz already
ground was from all kind, of stuff lying about the
premises, and gave good resul s on Tanning or wash-
ing in a bowl. Mi.. Clement refers to the reports of
the mince and reduction works, and remarks that he
is happy to sec that all goes on well, and will enable
him to give that Litisfact ion he so much desires of
making some show of returns. It appears front the
mining report that the No. 1 level in the Pine Tree
sett had been driven a total length of 240 feet at the
end of January, and that the same quantity of
gold, or even a better show, had been found
on %inning; the stuff broken throughout. Another
branch of a lode had been discovered, nearly parallel
with those in hand, which shows gold in larger
specks, and generally thought to be richer in quality,
as the vannings plainly show. In Mount Ophir
sett, the level had been driven 531 feet in the mi,oth,
and the lode left standing contains gold to fall',
Ii cents per lb.,
_having iinFovi d in appearance, but
has not been taken down, as the object is to reach the
main lode. The men are all !a good health, and be-
having well, end there seems to be no scarcity of
