Mining News.

This week our summary of mining news is
quite limited. Wednesday night We had heavy
rains, which continued near twelve hours, pre-
ven.ing us making our usual tour through
the mines this week. In the morning, Bear
Mountain was "coated DER with snow"
Extensive quartz discoveries, of almost fabu-
lous richness, have been made within the
past week Samples of rock have been placed
before us, manifesting at least one-third gold.
The most important discovery was made by
Mr.. j. S. Marette, about one mile East of Doak 5
saw-mill, at the head of the North Branch OF
Murray Creek. The samples of rock exhibited
to u : are very rich, having coarse heavy gold
in different parts. The specimens before us
were picked FROM the ztapzaf the ground. and
bear the marks of bleaching weather and sun
Tbe yein is about four feet wide, and has been
traced over two miles in a south-eastery direc-
ton, being on direct angle or parallel line
with the rich veins at Angels and Carson S
Creek. Mr.. Marlette was directed to the dis
covery by following up small gulch that has
been rich in gold, which headed near the quartz
ledge. company has been formed to work
the ledge and prospect the vein, consisting of
J. S. Marlette, Col. Sutherland and Mr.. White,
who have already hauled lumber on the ground
10 build cabin This discovery is very impor-
tant inasmuch as it is in region heretofore
unexplored, and thought worthless for mining
purposes In all probability these extensive
quartz leads flor understand there are seyc-
rail- are the sources whence came all the gold
so literally scattered throughout the gulches
and streams leading into the Calaveras river
Heretofore all attempts at finding paying quartz
except an occasional foat-this side of Angels,
was failure The reason is now evident
prospecting parties did not go far enough up
into the mountain ridges north of this place.
Mr. Marette thus argued, and his discovery has
proved his theory to be correct. Weare happy
to chronicle the good fortune of the discoycrer,
rs there are none more dcscrving-he being an
old miner aad an honest hard-workng man.
One THOUSAND DOLLARS PER DAY.-The San
Andreas Fluming Company, last Saturday and
Sunday, took up few of their rifles just enough
to prospect what they were doing and sue
ceeded i'll taking out one thousand dollars il
gold dust. This Makes in all, thirteen hund
red dollars they have lifted out of the long slu
cling flume This operation is carried on b1
ground-sluicing the surface down to within {
foot of the ledge lall the debris of which passes
through the long sluice). They then have shor
sluces, with which they wash the bedrock
dirt The short sluices yield averag
from six to eight dollars per day to the man
while the long sluee is picking up the ''crumbs
at the rate OF, probably, $500 to $l,ooo.pe
month. We know of some half dozen gulche
in this vicinity that furnish similar facilities fo
similar operations all equally as rich as San
Andreas gulch, and one or two of which hav
been less worked than the above.
