BRUSH CREEK.-A few weeks sine

BRUSH CREEK.-A few weeks since
we noticed, at length, the great value
and extent of the mines on Brush Creek
and spoke of the claims of Shively &
Co., at the upper end of the creek, as
being, probably, the most valuable pla-
Ger diggings in the county. Last week
this company, known as the Sock'em
vile Co., took the sum of S2046, out oi
one sluice the result of six days work
with nine hands, being nearly $4,000
per day to the hand. These diggings
cannot be worked out for many years
and owing to the well known character
of the creek, there is not the lepst dan.
ger of their failing.
Of such is the wealth of nevada coun.
ty and if we were disposed to blow a
little, as some of our neighbors are, we
might say, with truth, that Nevada
county has always been, by far, the
richest mining county in the state; that
it is now the richest and that it will
be the richest, when the picks and
shovels are welded by the great grand
sons of the children Of the next genera
ton.

THEATRE.-Mrs. Lesdernier has drawn

THEATRE-Mrs.L Lesdernier has drawn
good houses during the past week. Du-
ring her representation of Hamlet, the
house was well nigh crowded The
character of Hamlet was fairly sustain
ed; which is saying good deal, for
women have their own peculiar ways OF
expressing the emotions - and very
beautiful and enchanting ways they are.
But men have different ways of doing
the same thing, and it requires long
practice and thorough study, for lady
to understand their method thoroughly.
Mrs. Lesdenier's reading, is excellent,
and she evidently comprehends the
character fully.
But we were even much better pleas
ed with Pauline on Wednesday evening
The part was admirably sustained
In connection with this it is but simple
justice to say, that Claude Melnotte, as
presented by Mr.. Brown, was equally
perfect. Mr.. Brown, though a young
actor, is one of ability and decided
promise; and during this engagement
has won for himself the decided praise
of all who have seen him, having given
entire satisfaction in every CHARACTER in
which he has appeared.
r. S. Mortimer, deserves favorable
notice, for the promptness and ability
with which he carries his part.
Mrs. Lesdernier takes a benefit this
evenir" She appears as Parthenia in
the play of Ingomar." We bespeak
for her full house.

EXEMPTION OF MINING CLAIMS.-The
Assembly, we see, has passed an act
exempting mining claims to the amount
of $4,000, from forced sale on execution.
We rather doubt the propriety of this
measure, and would be rather pleased
than otherwise to see it defeated in the
Senate.
We have always advocated the inter-
ests Of miners, and in an article on the
taxation of mining claims published
some time ago, we contended that the
whole frame work of the financial
wealth of California rested on the min
ing interest, and that too much could
not be done to protect and encourage it.
If we thought that this bill would be re-
ally beneficial to miners, we should GER
tainly favor it; but it seems to us, that,
instead of doing them any substantial
good, it will only lessen and destroy
their credit. Miners are as much de-
pendent on credit, at certain seasons of
the year as any other class; and with
out any attachable property it would
often be difficult for them to obtain it
more especially as owing to their migra-
tory habits, they are often strangers in
the community where they happen to
be at work, and have not had time to
establish regulations. This bill has, no
doubt. originated in good intentions !;
but, we think, in a mistaken policy.

MUD FLAT. April 23d. 1857.


portance of the discovery and proper
working of Quartz Leads, would sub
nit the following remarks, suggested by
the discoveries recently made in our i'm
mediate vicinity, in both ranges of
mountains, and some Of the adjoining
flats, and of their general character as
gold bearing lodes. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that they will compare ia
vorably with the ledges in and about
Grass Valley, or in any other section of
the mining districts; and believe the
development Of lodges that will pay
good returns for the labor and expend-
ed, will continue for years. In short, it
is known, beyond doubt, by all who
have a practical knowledge of quartz
mining, that this whole district, in every
direction, contains quartz lodges that
could be worked at large profit, if
opened and prosecuted by parties of ex-
perience, and who are willing to open
and work them in the same manner, for
example, as our neighbors Of Grass Val
ley. We find their experience to have
been precisely that of the parties who
started the different mills on Deer
Greek. and in that vicinity. At that
early period, they found in many in
stances, that the working of those ledg
es would not leave profit; but by con-
tinuing, and working during those poor
paying times, they were at length re-
warded for their energy and perseve-
rance. They were acquiring, at the
same time that experience necessary for
the successful prosecution of their bust
ness, At the time we speak of, labor,
and other expenses, were more than a
hundred per cent higher than they are
now. As consequence, if those par
ties kept out of debt, at that time, they
must now be making morey. And, as
matter of fact, we know that in every
instance, the parties we speak of are
not only making money, but are rich in
wealth acquired by conducting this bu-
siness with the energy that ensures sue
cess.
Knowing these facts, we have often
wondered that some of our resident cap
italists do not engage, at least portion
of their means in this branch of mining
We admit, there is less cause for sur
prise, when we remember that malori-
ty Of the business men Of this town, have
practice to cry down and discourage
every attempt, or suggestion, connected
with this branch of mining interests
But it is well known, that the average
yield of lodges in this district is $500
per ton. a ledge yielding that amount,
or nearly that, must certainly pay a
large profit, if managed in the proper
manner, because the expenses are more
than one hundred per cent less than
they were in the years so and so. We
predict that the amount Of business done
and money made in Quartz this year,
will be larger than at any period since
the discovery and working of lodges in
this section Of country. We all must
acknowledge, that the steady and con-
stant working of these lodges, will be a
permanent benefit to this portion of Ne
vad, county. Yours,
