Within the past three years several rich mines
have been opened and worked successfully in differ
ent sections of the State.
The attention of the world has been awakened to
the Importance OF this branch of mining. Since
the discovery Of the mineral wealth of California
thousands have ocked to that distant country ncurrn
great risks and deprvaons the hope of realizing their
fortunes few have turned their attention to the same
business home, where success has generally at
tended their labors while many of the sanguine wan
derers who yenured their all returning after years
ABSENCE broken in health and spirits richer than when
they left.
We believe Commodore STOCKTON was one Of the first
who introduced into Virginia effective machinery for re-
ducing, large SCALE the quartz rock and demonstrate
ing that profitable business could be done in this branch
of mining. Tb
Some three years since he purchased the tract of land
in Fuvanna county, about sixty miles distant from this
city, upon which rich and extensive gold yein
where he erected large mill and other works The
glowing accounts received from California of the rich
and extent of the aurous quartz Of that country
induced Com Stockton to suspend for time his mining
operations in this State, and to send his experienced
workmen, with complete outfit machinery &c., to test the
newly discovered gold veins in California
We are informed by friend who conversed short
time since with of the company that they not
successful the results not meeting expectations their
operations discontinued in that country the work.
men returned to this State, and Com Stockton has
sumed his mining operations in FluvanDa county on
larger scale than heretofore having Introduced improved
machinery and has good prospects Of doing profitable
and permanent business.
There several other gold mines in operation in this
State, and said to be doing well.
We have taken some pains to gain information this
subject believing do that the country becomes
settled and improved machinery introduced this branch Of
mining in our State at very distant day will produce
an annual amount of the precious metal that win 60
towards furnishing with solid basis for currency
The mines of VIM. M. Moseley & Co. and the Garnett
Mining Company in buckingham county are perhaps pay
ing larger dividends to the stockholders their outlay
than any other mines in this State.
We have seen specimens Of the quartz from this vein
unequaed in richness by any auriferous quartz
shown us. We recently shown large rock weigh
ing lOS pounds, with the gold visible all through it. with
many other specimens which taken from the Garnet
vein at ninety feet from the surface which depth the
vein is from sixteen to twenty feet wide, all carrying
gold
There are several shafts sunk upon the vein, and gall
eres opened six hundred feet in length where the
mills of these two companies situated together
and on the vein
Six miles from these mines two other mills worked
by Mr. Eldridge and Mr. Wiseman which said to be
doing very well-Richmond Wing.

Judgments Of the District Court in suits brought by the

Sloo,OOO due for nine years. The bank resisted the
claim on the ground that it had ceased exercise the
functions and franchises Of banking and had assigned all
its property in trust for its creditors The Commonwealth
insisted that as the stockholders annually elected drec-
tors and frequently held meetings they had not given up
the franchises granted by the State and that the bank
was therefore bound to pay the annual bonus demanded
The Supreme Court sustained this position.
