Quartz Mills.

Mr.. Edttor:-Every day seems to bring
something new in California life. A rich
quartz ledge was discovered several years ago
cropping out on Dutch Ravine about half a
mile above the Mustang Ranch. A large
mill was accordingly erected, which being
put into operation has been grinding ever
since to the evident satisfaction of all con
cerned. Recently some prospectors found
that the ledge run in a south-westerly direc-
ton, being towards that famous fine-gold
locality, known as Secret Ravine. An open
ING was made into the ledge a short distance
west of what is known as the Oaks House,
where there is a fine spring of water, which
is adapted to supply the machine with this
essential element. The discoveries thus far
made have astonished every body. In ad-
diton to the large or main ledge, there are
several smaller ones, which have proven
more desirable than the large one, on ac-
count of the easiness with which the grinding
Of the quartz is performed, the proprietors Of
which have been known to get five dollars
in beautiful gold in as many minutes. The
ledge i, staked off for long distance, and
another mill is now being constructed halt
mile below the Pine Grove House, short
distance from the road, and is to be run by
mule power, the other two having horse
power. A new machine has been adopted
in those mills--nstead Of large rotary rub
to perfect the ANAL gum, it is now rocked out,
which requires only two persons. If the ledge
holds out, there is no doubt, but before ano-
ther year, there will be as many mills as
there are miles between the head of this
truly astonishing ledge and Sacramento. As
[ had seen no previous mention made Of this
auriferous discovery-whch only adds ano
ther link to the untold wealth of Placer
county, thought would give your reader:
the benefit of its original Development.

Mr. EDToR-"Order reigns in Warsaw

porters of the respective Senatorial asprants
who so late tourneyed with ground lances

The Legislature has to work, and appear
ances justify me in predicting session OF
less than ninety days. Reform, practical re-
form, is the order OF the day. Let me in
stance few items: The tranking system is
abolished, and a fixed amount, not exceeding
$50 for each member, is appropriated instead
saving $4,000. Copying clerks are dis
pensed with, and copying tarmed out to the
Chief Clerk at 20 cents per tolio-savine
$4,000. Retrenchment in the printing of the
Jurnals and Reports of the State ofiicers--a
saving Of at least $40, 900, making in the az
gregate an actual saving in the expenses of
this session Of over $4,000.
Means will be devised to make the revenue
Of the State more than defray its expenses:
and | have no doubt that ere the session
closes, the subject of the civil fund belong
inc to California, and expended by the Cen
eral Government previous to 1850, will be
put into such such form, and placed in such
light, that the money will be refunded, and
our State thereby almost liquidated.
For manifold good and sufficient reasons
the legislature have declared war on the
State Treasurer, and ere peace is conquered
there will be many a rich developement OF
practical know nothing reform. 1t is al
ready known that the cash, which the law re-
qures shall remain in the Treasury vaults,
has been used for private speculation, to the
amount of $20O,o00 or 100000, secured
by worthless bonds; and it is more than
doubtful whether the State will not yet lose
it or portion Of that sum. He will not even
pay members their mileage and per diem, al
though specifically appropriated and set
apart for that purpose last year.

the will and wishes of their constituents, and such
representatives so instructed are politically bound
to carry out such Instructions in their official acts,

place And,
WHEREAS as James ONeil, representa-
tive from Placer county in the Assembly OF

pledges to the contrary.
Therefore. Resolved, That James O'Neil has
shameful and wiltully betrayed the trust reposed

A RELIGIOUS PREss.-The Baltimore Pa
triot, in a notice Of the Metropolitan, a
Catholic Monthly, says: "The initial article,
entitled Reflections and Suggestions in re-
gard to what is called the Catholic Press
from the able pen of Archbishop Hughes,
will unquestionably attract attention, mas
much as it advises Catholic journals, in the
strongest manner possible, to seek to pro-
mote the welfare of the Church, but to abb
stain from blending politics with religion
"A political paper says the Archbishop,
ought to cling to its profession, and we say
the same Of religious paper especially a
Catholic paper We heartily coincide in
this opinion, but would extend the admoni-
ton to all religious papers, whether Catholic
or Protestant"

Total ECLIPsEs FOR THE NEXT FIFTY YEARS.
Calculations have been made at the Obser-

to the nineteenth century there will be only
six total ecipses of the sun, not one of which
will be visible in France, viz: In 1860, 1861,
1870, 1887, 1896, and 1900; so that from
the year 1000 to 1900 there will have been

The KANSAS QUESTION SETTLED AT LAST
Gov. Geary's despatch, just sent in to Con-
grcss by the President, may be regarded as
the beginning of the end Of the Kansas i'm
broglio. From all accounts it appears that
Kansas is quiet at last; that there only re-
main a small band of marauders in the south
ern district and that these are having a hard
time, chased for their lives by posse with
an itinerant court ready to try them when
caught. Judge Lecompte seems to have
been dismissed; Reader is quiet, somewhere,
at last and so, in due time, the Southern
marauIers and the Northern spectators
alike got rid Of the Territory will now have
chance to rest.

A MONSTER TooTH.-A friend informs us,
who has seen the curiosity, that last week,
while some miners were working on Haw s
Flat, several miles below Lynche's Ranch, on
Secret Ravine, they picked up from the bed
rock, eight feet below the surfece, monster
tooth, which certainly exceeds anything of
the kind we have yet heard of in California.
1t is a veritable tooth, and is seven inches
long, three wide, and eight high from the
end of the roots to the top 1t had four
roots; and the top was formed not unlike a
wheel with coos an inch and half high, so
formed that similar tooth above would fit
the ndentaions Of the other The tooth
seemed to have been set in the gum of the
Jaw five inches, according to the line below
the enamle, which had become as black as
charcoal. The question is, was the tooth of
a Mastadom. And if so-the animal must
have gone his heath on 'tooth and toe
nail:" A monster with such glienders must
have chawed up trees-grass and chapparel
being but slender forage.
