SURFACE PICKINGs IN SONoRA.-Last
Sunday Mr.. John Rabey was walking along a little
to the north Of the Bull Pen, and observed small
point OF quartz sticking out from the ground with
gold in II visible. He proceeded to pull on. the
stone, and found 1t to weigh ninety six ounces, and
to be worth one thousand dollars or upward
The Bull Pen lies at the eastern base of the HILL
whose western base runs into Hoden's Garden The
character OF the quartz and gold just found 10 the
same as that OF the many Jumps found 10 the Gar
den, and probably came FROM another dip of the
same vein Ii will be remembered that about q
month ago four other Jumps were found on the sur
face within the short space of one week, not more
than two or three hundred yards from the lucky spot
over which MIR. Raoey walked last Sunday. The to-
tai value of the i've Jumps is thiryJfre hundred dol
lars Very good surface pickings surely.

clear crystal The other lump which IS smaller, Is
quite peculiar, for the formation Of the quartz as
well az for the intermixtHre Of the gold Taequarz
Is granulated and the gold is In little stars or specks
about the size of pins head, scattered all through
the granulations.
