Fine Wheat.

We were shown a few days since fine spec.
linen of wheat from the plantation of Col. J.
F. Marshall, in the vicinity of our village
We have never seen finer or larger heads in
fact they were SO heavy rs to render the task
of grading rather difficult operation. The
crop consists of about $50 acres, and will
probably yield nt least s, 1000 bushels, being at
the rate of from l2 to Is bushels per acre.
Only small portion of the crop was manurcd.
Who can beat thisl Tho successful compcti.
tor will likely take the prize at the next agri-
cultural fair.

The Weather and CROPS.

We were visited on Sunday evening last. by
refreshing showers, which were very much
needed. The rains, However were quite par.
tial. In some sections Of the District, there
was fall of hail, doing some injury to the
crops, and which has very sensibly affected
the temperature. On Tuesday morning, fires
werofecidcdy comfortable. The wheat har.
vest is over, and the accounts from NIL quarters,
represent the crop as an abundant one. The
oats has suffered from the drought and the
corn and cotton are unusually backward.

Gold Mining in California,

1t seems TINT quartz mining is destined to bc
the leading mining interest in the State. The
surface wnshng1lnve either given out or Weld
but small return the labor expended.
whilst quartz mining can be continued through.
out the year and at all seasons. Its feasibility and
value as an investment hns been already pro.
we'd and Convention of practical miners was
to be held at Sacramento on the 3oth ult, to
adopt some systcm to advance this branch OF
industry. The quartz mines Of the State are
sufficiently extensive to furnish employment
to thousands Of men for number of years to
come, if they nre only properly managed. It
is we'll asccrtained that quartz rock, which
will yield eighteen dollars TO the ton, will am.
ply repay the labor which may he necessary to
extract it, if proper machinery be used and
experiment has proved TINT thousands Of tons
Of such rock can be found in the mountain
districts
In those districts where quartz mining Inns
been fairly tested. it has been found to he sat
,sfactorily remunerativc and the system is
being gradually extended throughout the whole
mining region. At the present time. the whole
number of quartz mills in operation in the
State, according to the California Register. is
one hundred aud thirty.cight. of which Gig chty.
six are propelled 10y water. forty eight 6y
steam and four by horse power The nggre-
gate number of stamps connected with these
mills is fifteen hundred and twcnty.onc The
cost Of machinery is estimated Mt one million
seven hundred and sixty-three thousand dol.
lars. On the same authority. 'the recent i'm
provement III the machinery employed, and
the enlarged experience of those engaged in
quartz mining, together with the remarkable
yield OF veins recently opened, have created
confidence in this department of mining and
that it will ultimately become the leading min
ing interest Of the Stntc, is the opinion Of those
who have carefully watched its progress for
the last seven years"
To this new source Of wealth attention is now
