MINING INTELLIGENCE. The news from the
Southern mines is very encouraging, as indeed
il is from all quarters. A rich Quartz mine
has been discovered in Broadway, San Fran
cisco.
Private advices as well as newspaper ac-
counts by this arrival represent the most ex-
traordinary success on the part Of several of
the quartz mining companies.
Accounts from the mines generally continue
favorable, particularly the working of the quartz
vein. The richness of which is daily being
developed, and for which adequate machinery
is much wanted.
In the neighborhood of Mount Diablo, Mr..
Holden has discovered most extensive silver
mine, which prospects so cents per pound sill

be worth all the gold mines in the southern
district.
