Messrs Hancock g. Co. have opened the old Ford

! They realized from the first weeks work $lO0 over
wa. es. They have four men at work.
The diggi6gs in this immediate vicinity are this
| week paying unusually well. Both bitches have
full supply Of water, and are told there will not be
8ny failure of this necessary element until the middle
or last Of August. The old Company will have water
until very late in the FALL and if the rains set in early,
| we will have water throughout the whole year.

their fume completed by the 18Th OF October to the
Middle Fork Of the Stanslaus River, which will fur
nsh never-failng supply of water Their ditch the
largest Of any in this country being fifteen feet wide

mania fer prospecting for gold bearing quartz has
been quite rife of late in the neighborh0od of futile
town. We have from time to tiWe mentioned rumors
Of new strikes" and, to satisfy ourselves of their
reality, paid visit to the locCiy in the early part
Of the week. We there were shown a hole, about Fix
feet square and about the same depth, dug by party
Of Chilenos, and from which they have taken out five
six large sacks full Of rich specimens IN all valued
at about $1,000 We entered the hole and examined
the vein. 1t is very narrow, is composed of what is
called rotten quartz, and gold Is visible all over It,
The dit surrounding the vein is also very rich, pros
pecting several dollars to the pan. Besides this
claim, two others have been opened at JacksOns Flat
which are paying equally as well, If not better.
These discoveries have been the means OF inducing
many to engage in prospecting quartz, the result OF
which we hope will be alike beneficial to country
and TO the men who thus invest their labor.
The quartz specimens recently found at " Whit
lock's " are literally filled with gold.
On Wednesday last, Goodman and Diltz took out
$1,000.

RICH QUARTz.-From quartz lode, discovered
some time since by Mr.. Beach, prospect amounting
TO sll7 tun has recently been obtained. 1t was dis
covered some three months ago, but the propretors

other dggipgs They then took out ten funs OF rock,
and had il crushed at mill in Grass Valley, with the
above suit. The lode is about four miles above
Nevada on the north side of Deer Creek, and is 30
situated that it will not cost over 81 tun to quarry
the rock. 1t is owned by Messrs. Beach g. Randolph
Of this place. They have another lode, some two or
three hundred yards above, which has not yet been
tested but the rock has the appearance of being ysry

CLosE At HAND The Necada Democrat has
learned from a gentleman of Grass Valley, Nevada
County that rich lead Of quartz had been discov

the heaviest business houses. The owner Of the store
