Summary
Since the selling q ihe last mail stealner,
the result Of the recon tte and Con eres-
ional election has beer far ascel aincd as
to secure the election the entire Democrat
ID State ticket, and the t0 Democratic can-
didates for Congress The Democrats claim
N average majority exc eding 1000 but ne
do not think IT viii reach that igure The
Legislature IS largely Democratic
From all parts Of the State Ye have the
most encouraging intel igence Of tle success
|of the miners, and re hazard nothing ia I
saying that the present yield Of the mines
exceeds that Of any former period The sea
son, So far, has been very favorable to the
success Of the various damning companies

ing' The prosp poets for the approaching rainy
season are still more encouraging During
the dry season, great numbers OF miners,
who have not been operating along the beds
of creeks AMI rivers, have been engaged in
raising dirt n the dry digging to wash when
the rains afford them the requisite supply OF
water Besides q steady business is now
being prosecuted BY the various quartz COM
lpanies, particularly IN the vicinity Of Neya-
da City, and along the tributaries of the San
Joaquin: These companies viii be able To-
prosecute their labors as well IN the rainy as
in the dry season Itmay beWell toremark
that tue quartz business appears to be that
which, to- considerable extent, IS attracting.
the attention Of capitalists as asouree Of in
yestInent The extensive outlay for costly
machinery, in order to prosecute this branch
i of mining successfully, necessarily limits Il
to those who have accumulated the requisite
lcapital, by other and cheaper modes Of min
ling, and to those other capitalists who are
ready to make heavy Investments
1t appears to be a matter OF debate among
miners, as to the comparative richness Of The
northern and southern quartz veins The
companies, however, established ia either
section, upon an economical basis, are dong,
$50 for as we can ascertain as Wellas the most
sanguine could desire Many fail b success
from the want Of practical acquaintance
+ with this mode Of mining. From what we
hear, we are led to expect for the approaching
winter, a large increase upon the yield
ofthe last.
The common round Of Californiaineidents
will be found in other columns. Robberies
are going on as usual, throughout the mining
districts, but then there appears to be NJ
more of such outrages than heretofore.
