-liastonishing i',l7aet here in the diorit formation of such an number of

seen such quantities of quartz veins accumulated within an
of such comparatively small extent. Nearly every one of the

ec 'fling them in reference to the proportion of gold they contained
tkii,4arison with other veins which I 'had seen in California, I

'at!. !rvation there. One of these veins was distinguished by great
kti,tates of cellular quartz, which inclosed a very large amount of
golf in small particles, presenting altogether some of the most

in California." - (See Report.)
