Grass Valley Quartz Mining Compnn,

Grass Valley Quartz Mining Company.
A few days since we paid visit to the
mine of this Company, situated on Osborne
Hill, about two miles in a south easterly di-
rection from town. The vein was first opened
in the spring of '52, but little, however, was
done towards developing, either it's extent or
value, until the fall of '53, when the principal
portion of the mine passed into the hands of
this Company. Messrs. Crosset & Scott, the
managing agents of the Company, then com
menced working it on more extensive scale.
From the time they first commenced opera
tlons up to last spring, about 1000 tons of
ore had been taken out and hauled to their
mill, near Boston Ravine, about two miles
distant and there crushed. The results from
this rock were highly satisfactory, and enough
had been crushed to prove not only the con-
tinuousness, but also the yield of the vein,
and to establish its reputation as one of the
best paying ones in the State. Satisfied up
on this point, the Company now resolved to
make preparations for still more extensive
and thorough working of the mine. To this
end they placed steam engine with a pump
and hosting apparatus at the mouth of their
main shaft, and enclosed the same in a sub
stantial frame building of suitable dimen-
slons and construction. The pump-a force
and lift pump, of six inch bore-was placed
In the main shaft. which raises the water to
the surface, distance of 10Y feet, at which
depth said shaft intersects the vein. Since
this pump has been fixed they have gone
down on the dip of the vein sixty-fve feet
lower, and are now putting in another pump.
with slx-lnch working barrel, which will
work on the incline of the vein, and raise the
water from the present lowest point of work
ing to the well of the main pump, through
which it will be raised to tie surface.
All the hosting is done by steam power.
The shaft is divided into two COMPARTMENTS.
in one of which is placed the pump and lad
ders for the descent of the workmen. and
through the other the tub for RAISING the ore
and waste dirt is worked by means of the
machinery above.

II appears that an aged man named McGratn, chair
member bv occupation had called at miserable howell
in Donovan s-lane in search of work and was in the
net Of leaving the house when drunken rowdy named
Jfrrv O Conner met him and called him aside. Tho
old man listened TO what he had to say, and then
walked off hut was soon called back by o Conner.
He however feared violence and did not return, but
endeavored TO escape by running. The drunken
scoundrel. bent on raising row, pursued him, and
ATTEMPTED to strike the old man; but the latter
yarded off the blow with q chair which he
had in his hand, and struck the rowdy. The latter
then closed in and soon both fell TO the pavement
O'Co1nor being underneath, and striking upward saw
ege blows AT the face of the old man. A named
Oman and Mrs. Carley who lived opposite to where
the occurrence was taking place rushed to the spot and
separated the two men, and while they were assisting
McGrath into the house O'ConnOr came behind him
and kicked him down the basement steps. Oman pre-
vented the rfien doing any further violence and
McGrath was conveyed into the house and placed upon
chair and as soon Us lie could speak begged that he
might b. protected from further violence. When as
sured that he was safe he seemed to be satisfied and
socn, to all appearance, became drowsy. He remained
quiet for time, ard then of thu inmates went

Correspondence Of The N. Y Tribune.
BUFFALO, midnight, Feb. H. 1856.
This morning at o'clock a train of six cars
with some three hundred passengers left this city
on the Lake Shore Railroad. In an hour, amid q
furious storm, we were fast in snow-bank. The
engine was inadequate to force its way, and our re-
treat was cut off. The storm ragged and the cold
was piercing. mile in our rear the train which
left at a later hour with some two hundred passen-
GERS was also under the snow embargo with its
locomotive disabled. AT ! P. IN. the tempest OF
snow abated and some of us, in view of the fact
that our stock of fuel was almost exhausted, and
that in our car were eight ladies and several small
children. made our way, waist deep in snow, to
End some wood. None could be found. We found
snw, and levying contribution on the fence
boards and rails within our reach, our stove wood
pile soon doomed up encOuragingly Late Ia the
afternoon. hunger and the cries of the children
sent several of US out to seek supplies. The drlv'
hg wind had abated and by wadiDg through the
now near mile we found in two farm-hOus the
relief we needed. The shades of night gathered
around us in the snOwbank, and old Erie sent out
ih bleak and borean messages. At 10 O'Clock our
cold comfort was happily disturbed by the whistle
Of eur long looked for deliverer. strong force
Of aborers by dint Of hard shOveing, soon cleared
The track, and by the aid Of three locomotives We
we're returned to this city few moments ago.
Will "the powers that be" when sending out such
heavy train in the face of a snOw-stOrm, look
cut for stronger team" better supplies OF fuel,
and suggest TO the conductor that q visit from him
"for cheer and comfort as well as information,
would be disirable.
P.S Feb. I3.-This city abounds in snow-bound
travellers. The weather is cold, and our prospect
OF an early departure quite gloomy.
