Rich Discovery of Vein Gold.

From the Pacthc News June H.
There In no doubt on minds that the mineral
wealth of California will be found intellectually
greater than even the most ssnguine have hitherto
imagined. Every days discovery goes TO confirm
this opinicn; and facts within our knowledge war
rant us in saying that the present season will bring
10 light the most starting developments In vein or
quartz mining. IL in the low or secondary hills, a
few hundred feet in height only in the San Jose
valley rich mines gold found, of which We
spoke yesterday what may not be boxed for in the
explorations among the mountain ranges on either
side! And if sucn results are found IN the coast
mountains where no one expected much gold 70 ex
ist what viii not the foot slopes Of the Sierra Ne
vada disclose to the searching enterprise that is
now actively employed amid their gorges and on
the borders Of their streams!
We are led to these remarks from certain re-
mark able discoveries Of quartz gold which have
lately come to our knowledge from an unquestion-
able source. Several gentlemen engaged is mining
upon one of the northern rivers in their explorations
in the adjoining mountains during the past winter,
came upon vein Of quartz, where the pure ore
was observed in threads and spAnges beautiful to
loek upon. An examination took place, specimens
taken from various parts Of the rock and such rude
tests as were at hand applied, with the most salts
factory and even astonishing results. The vein IS
about 80 feet wide and in some portions rich as
to produce dollar to an ounce Of rock A piece
was knocked off weighing fourteen pounds, aud
submitted TO the action Of the heat in blacksmith
forge, when the amount of thirty.two dollars was
smelted from the rock! Not half Of what it con
tanned could be got out in such way. Other spe-
cimens have yielded from dollar TO two dollars TO
pound Of the rock aud the quantity of it is repre-
scented as literally inexhaustible. We shall have
some specimens from these mines in week or
two, when we shall probably speak Of it again
The mother mines of California have yet TO be dis
covered, of which the gold in the rivers and ravines
are but the disintegrated particles.

Gold Near San jose.
From The Pacific News, June

From The PACING News, June H. go
This discovery, already noticed in the Tran
SCRIPT, it is hoped, viii prove bu. one of series
equally important. The mines alluded TO are sta.
ated in ridge of low hills, lying in the valley of
San Jose, between the Contra Costa and Coast
ranges of mountains, and four or FIVE miles above
the Pueb bio. The gold is found in the form OF ore
one species being clearly micaceous sand stone,
the other blue, compact stone, resembling tai
cose slate, without the slaty texture. Several
specimens have been asssyed-the highest assay
yielding 81 cents to the pound the lowest about
25 cents. So that it may be safe computation at
over 90 cents to every pound Of ore for the whole
mine. What is a little singular in the case, the
people at San Jose think it is silver mine, while
there is not enough of this metal in the ore for the
necessities of the assay. A company from this
city have purchased the mining right OF the whole
branch, consisting Of several leagueG upon which
the mine ia located and are about to commence
extensive operations with appropriate machinery.

Rose drew his knife and inflicted several wounds ;
bis revenge was Of short duration, for, in the
'twinkliug Of an eye" he fell, pierced oy twenty

better imagined than described. \ rush was made
b. the Americans for their arms, when the Indians,
numbering some $50 were driven TO the mountains
AS il was known that Lutario could, at short
distance, command some 900 warriors and, fearing
an immediate attack, the Americans being few In
number Immediately withdrew. The Indians
