Since your departure In the last month for the
Atlantic seaboard we have had excitement upon ex.
element In respect TO the new gold discoveries
Dorth of Us. suppose there can be no doubt that
the precious metal does exist in the British posses
sons on the Pacific coast and probably in parts Of
Washington Territory within our own borders in
considerable quantities. The accounts received here
are 20 far reliable and uniform of the existence Of
gold above us on this coast that heavy movement
Of people Is making in that direction, and the
reasonable expectation is that success equal TO that
which attended The mining interest in California 10
its early days as an American possession, will be the

and rich quartz leads, and Of the amounts OF gold
constantly extracted by the quartz mills, are OF the
most surprising and nattering character. Partcu-

counties, and in the direction Of Kern river. IL Is
said that explorations are now going on IN the Tulan
valley and beyond Kern river, which, II the accounts
Of the Indians prove at all correct may result IN the
discovery of vast quantities OF gold bearing quartz
