From the Courier & Enquirer.

We are personally acquainted with the writer
of the following communication, and know him to
be a gentleman Of character In addition we have
seen specimens Of the quartz from the veins Of the
Rockv Bar Mining Company which are exceed
ingly rich, and which at once refute the idea Of
there being no gold in quartz discovered in Cali
fornia One ofthe specimens referred to weighed
about FIVE pounds and yet the gold in it was est
mated at the mint to be worth six hundred and
fifty dollars.
To he Editors Of the Courier Enquirer.
In YOUR paper of Tuesday last, | observe an
article prepared and published by the passengers
of the alabama steamer, on recent voyage from

that quartz rock is not found worth 81 per pound.
1t might not appear an object to rctute so gross
