many instances, been losing business, Aftel

is entirely destitute of gold A letter from young
man on the Stanislaus, states that they have
worked there for mere than nine weeks, and have
just made nothing. The traders, too, are severe
sufferers by theee failures, as they give credit to
the companies while they are working on the
dams, relying upon their su ccess for reimburse.
ments.
II is sometimes stated that the cream of mining
is over-that the best of the diggngs are ex.
hausted. or course we have every reason to dis
believe this. We are credibly informed that there
are 800 men at Mormon Island, and that each
man ID making more money there now than the
miners on the same spot did last year, although
they were the first copaers, and there were but
300 of them. year ago, provisions, tools, &C.,
were very expensive, and now, even il less gold is
extracted by each one. (which we very much

Transcript.
The San Francisco Picaya~e states that Mr.
James H. Edmondson exhibited some of the fnes
specimens of quartz gold that have yet come unde
their observation. Some of them were exceed
ingly rich. They were from the Mariposa mines
which in sll probability are the most prolific in the
world. The company recently discovered the
vein in which the specimens to which we alIude
were found. They are now engaged 10 crushing
the rocks, which produce, on an average, one
hundred dollars worth Of gold to every ton OF
rock. On the outer edge OF the vein the quartz
was found in a decomposed state, produced by
volcanic action, from which large quantities Of
pure gold were taken. Our informant says that
as the workmen progress in the vein, the gold be-
comes more plentiful. The Mariposa Mining
Company have certainly struck happy lead.
We met few days since, upon one of the steam
boats, on bis way to the States, young man from
Bureau county, Illinois. He came into the country
late in the Fall of lS49, by the Lawson route. He
went to mining on the Yuba river, where he has
worked steadily ever since, until recently. He
