A Bic LuHP.-We were shown last evening by Mr..
Lapgton of Langion & Co.'S Express, the big mp of
quartz and gold which was taken out ut French Ra-
vne near Downieville, by Of the ubiquitous Smith
family some three months ago. The weight of the
lump, rather boulder, Is 90 pounds troy. A large
portion Of il is quartz but the amount of gold In IT IL
estimated at 5000 II is TO be taken to the mint and
coined, understand, in a few days
EUREKA QUARTZ C0NPsSY.-This Association is in

weeks labor of their mills. They situated in

stock OF this Company originally s36, 900, only 10
Ter cent Of which has ever been assessed notyyih-
standing over 500 coo have been expended on the
the works This Company are all practical men and
may be considered among the most fortunate quartz
miIeis in the State.
QUARTz.-A party of miners at work at Long Ho-
low about two weeks ago struck very rich quartz
lead, from which they have since been tai ng out
$500 to $500 per day, using only hand mortar. The
vein has proved 10 be portion of tie Wyoming
quartz vein. The Wyoming Company have responded
about $4,000 IN putting up machinery and opening
Their lead but for some Tune their WORK has been
ting discouraged. Tie discovery will probably induce
the Company TO prosecute the work.

KERN RIyER-THE MINES AFTER THE Rush.
From the correspondence OF The San Joaquin RepuJ-

Iosy Flat, Posy Greek, twenty miles south of
White River and ten miles from the much-talked-of
