RlcHr.r Quartz M1sr IN THE srArr--Tbe

Columbia Clipper says:-
The richest quartz lead in California, or per-
haps the world, was discovered at Jackass
Gulch, in this county. on last Friday, by an old
Kentucky negro. The first piece he fund was
a detached one from the ledge and contained
some gold. He took it to his friend Major
Means, and proposed to sell to him half his in
terest in the claim which the Major purchased.
and went to prospecting for the ledge. After a
lew hours work they found it, not far from where
the negro picked up the piece. This was on
Friday, and they took out some 500 Saturday
they realized $780, and on Monday last they got
out above 100 pounds Of rock. which will pro-
duce between &, 900 and $4,000 in gold. The
LEAD is but few inches in thickness, but exceed
lnely rich, and at the rate it pounds out vii pay
$4,000 per ton. There Is no humbug about
'his-we have it from reliable authority, and can
vouch for its correctness.
