Some Observations on the Gold bearing
Quartz Of California.

The German Jounol published few days
since a communication from Charles Trinius,
from which we translate the following:
s. z. Chronicle
The most productive aurferous quartz
veins in California appears in hills of the
secondary formation, and run from north
west to northeast. Some of these veins have
a diameter varying from four to ten feet,
and the vein is generally Il solid mass. The
smaller veins which run in various other di-
rectons and connect with the main leads,
furnish the most of the gold for the pIacers
In the large veins the gold is found in small
scales or octahedlons, closely connected with
the quartz and in the small veins the gold
appears in large solid masses on the surface
in the interstices, and on the outside of the
quartz. These smaller veins ordinarily con-
tain clay, accompanied by gravel, iron and
arsenic, and in these materials gold is found
free from the quartz. United with quartz,
the gold takes Irregular forms, sometimes
crystalline, and the auriferous pieces are
usually surrounded with clay. 1t should be
noticed that this quartz is almost invariably
accompanied by oxyd of iron and pyrites.
Sometimes gold is found in small quantities
in pyrites, which on the other hand is frequent
ly changed into an oxyd by the negative
electrical influence of the gold. In the
quartz vein which contain arsenical pyrites
and ores Of copper" antimony or cobalt, the
gold is found in small particles and it is to
be discovered only by the oXydation of the
metals. These veins differ much from those
first mentioned. The solid veins can only
be quarried with difficulty, and contain the
gold intimately united with the quartz. In
the smaller veins the pieces Of quartz hang
together, but can be broken apart by light
blow. 1t frequently happens that in vein
not more than ten or thirty inches wide,
several divisions are found each Of which is
separate and solid in a perpendicular line.
The perpendicular spaces between are filled
with clay which is often rich in gold.
Experience has shown that gold is gener-
ally found in quartz veins which lie near the
surface of the earth; and that the gold loses
in quantity and quality as the vein recedes
from the surface Other relations of gold
to quartz are suggested in three observations
as follows On the examinations of quartz
lead fifteen inches wide, gold was found A
smaller vein, eight feet distant, and running
parellel with the former, was examined and
showed no sign of gold. On further
examination, the smaller vein was found to
have had its direction changed by union
with another which did not run parallel with
the first. From the junction Of these two
gold was in the same proportion as where
first found.
In those quartz veins which have hori-
zontal direction, and which are found entirely
isolated from other veins, large amounts of
gold have been found. But these veins are
very rare. When an auriterous vein is
crossed by one not auriferous, it is frequently
found that the barren vein becomes produc-
tive beyond the junction, and the gold bearing
vein becomes barren,

"NIy God. this is the third day--one bis
cult and one half bottle of wine is all there
is left of food or drink for seven persons.

is an hour of agony. My God! my God.

but am reproachng myself for leaving be-
loved France, whilst Charles, my dear hus-
band, lies prostrated by my side"
''-Another morn has come-no hope.
The Lieutenant says, no sail, no assis-
tance. To die thus is hard better to drink
of the water we float in and die like a ma
MAC at once. My God, what have | written?
To commit suicdel no no; there is yet life,
which is hope-and the four who drank of
the sea water went ravng mad and jumped
out Of the boat"
''Another day--al are dead butt will
soon--my God, | c--come--come--ye
--all--all--come--"
No name or mark was signed to the paper
to indicate who the people were; neither
could we find upon any Of the bodies any
clue to this mystery, or explain their reasons
for taking to the launch. From appearances
we judged they had embarked hastily and
without preparation.
That evening" at 4 o'clock, all hands were
called to the waist of the ship to bury the
dead. The captain read the English burial
service, and when he came to the words "and
we commit these bodies to the deep" the
grating was lifted and with a sulen plunge
the bodies passed into the bosom Of the
great world of waters. Thus far from the
lily fields and vine clad hills of La Belle
France, far from the friends whose tender
care would have smoothed their path from
life to eternity, in thirst and hunger, and fe-
yer maddened brain, these once hopeful wan
derers passed into the presence of God.
The captain, after the most approved man
ner of old salts, took this occasion, before
dismissing us, to remind us that we were
every day liable to similar fate, and to i'm
press upon us sense Of our duty, whether
on land or sea, to succOr the distressed.
Master Harry was commended for his watch
finess, and we were biddcu to profit by his
example.
When the ship arrived at Macoa the launch
and paper were delivered to the French Con-
sui, and that, Mr.. Newspaper man, is all |
know about it, DICK BELAY-THAT.

INTERPRETATION OF DREAMs.-There is a
new guide to the Interpretation of dreams.
An English paper thus puts ito dream
of a milestone round your neck, is a sign Of
what you may expect if you get an extrava-
CANT wife. To see apples in a dream beto-
kens wedding, because where you find ap-
plies you may reasonably expect to find pears.
To dream that you are lame is a token that
you will get into hobble. When young
lady dreams of coffin, it betokens that she
should instantly discontinue lacing her stays
tightly, and always go warml y and thickly
shod in wet weather. If you dream Of a
clock, it is token that you will gain credit,
that is tick. To dream Of fire is Il sign
that if you are wise you will see that the
lights in your house are ont before you go to
bed. To dream that your nose is red at the
tip, is an ntmation that you had better
leave off brandy and water To dream Of
walking baretooted denotes journey that
you will make bootess

A SIMPLE REQUEsT-It is customary in
many Of our city churches for the congrega-
ton to join in singing the last hymn. On
Sunday last, gentleman, accompanied by
his little girl of some five years of age, stray
ed into one Of the aforesaid churches, and
his fine voice materially assisted the choir
in getting through "Winchester."
Just before the benedction the little girl
observing the effect produced by her parent
on the occupant of the surrounding pews,
cried out in an audible voice-"Papa! please
sing Vilikens and his Dinah! 1t is need
less to say that the benedction was unheed-
ed.
