From a late California nnper

QUARTZ OPERATloNs.--The numerous dis
coveries of auriferous quartz which have been
made IN all directions throughout the length
and breadth of this favored Land, must force
conviction upon the mind, even of the most
sceptica, that the amount of gold in California
may with perfect truth be pronounced mex
haustible, and that for ages to come this State
will possess within her own boundaries a per-
| manent source of wealth beyond the widest
dream of the gold seekers Imagination. Men
whose knowledge on this subject is acquired
only by hearsay, and the information obtained
by residence in our cities, can form but crude
ideas of the actual reality. When they have
visited the quartz regions and have examined for
themselves,--not with railroad speed and a
cursory gance-not satisfied with being shown
some rich dazzling specimens, which excite their
wonder and admiration, but wisely spending
few weeks in observing the quantity and quality
of the various descriptions of gold bearing
quartz, and afterwards making calculation of
the products OF &en one ledge or vein sufli-
cently extensive 10 induce the erection of pro-
per machinery--then will they begin to realize
the fact tlat all the gold which has been already
taken from the different bars, ravnes, gulches,
canons, flats, river banks and river beds, covote
diggings, &c, are but as gleanings from plen.

less millions which the sure, though slower pro-
cess of rock crushing and amalgamatng, will
yet extract from the mountains ard hills of Ca.
lifornia. Heretofore the operations in quartz
mining have been generally regarded either as
the schemes of spectators or the visionary
creations of some excited IMAGINATION. Grad
unlly, however, these matters are beginning to
be better understood, and no longer to be looked
upon with distrust or suspicion. Confidence
now takes the place of doubt, and capital is
seeking investment in that which, if properly
and honestly managed, will prove the most val
liable of all stock. 81
One Great desideratum still remains to be OBJ
tained, namely, some process by which the very
fine gold can be saved. At present the loss varies
from II to as high as 10 per cent, according to
the description of machinery used. Mems minds
are rejecting on this subject not only here but
throughout the States, and we shall not be sur
prised to find a method discovered by an in.
genious Yankee in some remote New England
village, which will answer all the purposes re-
quired, and perhaps be as remarkable for its
simplicity and cheapness as il will be useful and
important to the mining population.
