IDENTIFY discovered the lead in 1852. He informs
us that he was then working on bar in Wolf
Creek, and washing gold from the gravel In
the operation, he discovered the gold bearing
quartz cropping out at the side of the stream ;
but as the river bed was paying WELL and
quartz was then not so well known or desirable
as an occupation, they did not think it worth
while to prosecute their Investigations. In the
Fall of 1855, they first took out some quartz,
and finding that ton crushed, yielded largely,
they commenced preparations for working it.
Ascertaining the probable pitch of the lead.
they commenced shaft, calculating that at the
depth of three hundred feet they would strike
the rock, and thus they proceeded a depth of
eighty feet. By this time their outlay had been
very great and instead of going on with the
shaft, they concluded to intersect the lead
higher up, by means of drift This was ac-
cordlngly done, and in the Fall of 1856, they
had drifted to the rock and erected a mill for
crushing the quartz. The first yield was enor-
nous, and as we have already stated, the rich
ness has been constantly increasing 1t is now,
as Mr.. Daniels informs us, the intention of the
company to go on with the original shaft, when
1t IS thought even richer deposits will be de-
veloped To estimate the wealth of this mine
IS beyond the power of any one. From present
indications, its ultimate yield might be sufi-
clent to pay off the entire debt of the State of
California. Vast fortunes have already been
yielded by it, and yet the crust is scarcely
broken.-SGc. Union 25th uh

2. When water issues through short tube,
the vein of the stream is less contracted than in
the former case, in the proportion of l6 to l3 !;
and if it issues through an aperture which is
the frustrum of cone, whose greater base is
the aperture, the height of the frustrum, half
the diameter of the aperture, and the area of the
small end to the area of the large end as 10 to
16, there viii be no contraction of the vein.-
Hence, when the greatest possible supply of
water is required, this form Of orifice ought to
be employed.
8. The quantity of water that flows out of a
vertical rectangular aperture that reaches as
high as the surface is Sds of the quantity that
would flow out of the same aperture placed
horizontally at the depth of the base.

The Richest Gold Mines in California.

Yesterday morning our attention was called
to small leathern sack in the office of the Or
leans Hotel At the request of one of the own
ers, Mr. Daniels, we, with much difficulty sue
ceeded in lifting it from the floor. 1t was filed
with gold, which was being taken to the U. S.
Branch Mint at San Francisco. Every two
weeks, two or three of the proprietors of what
is known as the Allison Lead in Nevada
county, pass through this city, for the mint,
with similar "pile." This time, Mr.. Daniels
thought there was in the sack not much more
than fifty thousand dollars-the yield of the
fortnight generally being from sixty to ninety
thousand dollars. The reason of the shortness
of the amount this time, is that they were ena-
bled to crush only about one-half the quartz
which they had taken out and had lying at
their mill. The weekly yield of the mine is
therefore in the neighborhood of forty thousand
dollars which is the income of five men. This
is the richest gold lead yet discovered in Cali
fornia and so far as we have any knowledge,
in the world The most remarkable feature is
that it has been gradually increasing in rich
ness with its development, and that from pres
ent indications, it is inexhaustible.

derstand, with FIVE partners-Irishmen-a

There is no malady of deeper Importance,
either in medical or moral point of view, to
which the human family is more liable, than
that arising from impure connections.
As medical man, it is the duty of everv
physician to look at disease as it affects health
and life, and his sole object should be to miti-
gate, as far as lies in his power, the bodily suf-
fcring. Human nature at best is but frail; all
are liable to misfortune.
Of all the ills that affect man. none are more
terrible than those OF a private nature. Dread
ful as 1t is in the person who contracts it
frightful are its ravages upon his constitu-
ton, ending frequently in destruction and
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater inn
portance when it is transmitted to innocent Off
spring. Such being the case how necessary it
becomes that every one having the least reason
to fear that they have contracted the disease,
should attend to it at once, by consulting some
physician, whose responsibility and education
enables him to warrant IA safe. speedy and per-
manent cure. In accordance with this neccsSi-
ty. DIR. YOUNG feels called upon to state
that by long study and extensive practice. he
has become perfect master of all those diseases
which come under the denomination of venereal
and having paid more attention to that branch
than any other physician in the United States.
he feels himself better qualified to treat them.
Syphilis in all its forms, such as Swelling Of
the Grons, Ulcers Ulcers in the Throat, Sec
ondary Syphilis. Cutancous Eruptons, Ulcera-
tions, Tertiary Syphilis, Syphilis in Children,

tons Trfmors, PustucS, etc, arc as familiar to
him us the most common things Of daily obser-
vation.

few days, and finds no difficulty in curing those
of long duration, without submitting the pa

his business, whether within doors or without.
The diet need not be changed except in eases

SOuTsE FORK NEENENG LAWS.

4 Z A MEETING of the Miners assembled at
IA the house of Mr.. Mark McNicholas, No.
vember 4th, 1854, it was unanimously agreed
that Mr.. James Coogan be nominated President,
and Mr. John Hogan, Secretary. And then and
there the following resolutions were formed and
agreed to;
ARTICLE l. All old claims are to be fully in
sured to the companies owning them, provided
they have been worked by the same compa-
nies the previous season, and that the same old
companies intend TO work same claims the ensu-
ing season, SO far us river claims arc concerned
and not otherwise.
ART. 2. All old claims are fully acknowl-
edged in their full extent and said claims are
to be respected by having them recorded.
ART. 3. All river claims are to extend two
hundred feet long to each man, together with
the bed bar and banks, if any, of the river, ta-
ken up after this date.
ART. 4. All claims can be secured from the
time the river gets high, or from the time Mi
ners are set idle by high water until the 18th
of June, by having notice posted on said claim,
and having it recorded; and after the 18th of
June, said claim must be worked, or have the
notice renewed every third day.
ART. 5. All surface claims are to be same
size, say two hundred feet long by one hundred
feet wide to each man.
ART. 6. All tunnel claims are to be one
hundred feet wide through the hill; and all
shaft or deep claims are to be one hundred feet
square to each man.
All these laws to take effect from this date
and to stand permanent until such time as a
majority OF the miners think proper to have
them repealed.
All these laws to extend to the junction of
the South Fork and North Branch of the Gala
veras river, and to extend up so high as Spen-
GERS Bar, and no further

DR.. J. G. Young, in cases of seminal weakness,

same as that followed by him for years, under
the guidance of the word-rcnouned Ricord of
Paris, and Acton of London. DR.. Young's office
is at the corner of Montgomery and California
Streets, where he can be consulted on that and
all other private diseases, with the utmost con-

DIR. YOUNG addresses those who have iniur-
ed themselves by private and improper indul-
gcnces in that secret and solitary habit which
ruins the body and mind, uniting them for
either business or society. The following arc
some OF the sad and melancholy effects produc-
ed by early habits of youth, viz: weakness of
the back and limbs, pain in the head dimness
OF sight, loss of muscular power, palpitation Of
the heart, dyspepsia, nervousness, irritabiItv
arrangement of the digestive functions, general
debility, symptoms of consumption, &c
MENTALLY-The fearful effects upon the mind
arc more to be dreaded. Loss of memory con-
fusion Of ideas, depression of spirits, evil fore
bodings, aversion to society, sclf-distrust. Low.
of solitude, timdity, &C., arc most of the evils
produced.
All persons who are afflicted with any Of
the above symptoms should not fail to cali on
DIR. Young, and be at once restored to perfect
health. Let 40 false delicacy prevent you, but
apply Immediately, and save yourself from the
dreadful and awful consequences of this terrible
malady.
