They ran nearly the same distance and payed
out nearly the same length Of cable day by

with regard to the length of cable required

MONTE SANA QUARTZ DISTRICT The sec
tion of country known as the Monte Sana
Quartz District, we believe in short time
will become one of the most important and
valuable quartz localities of the State In
this district are located the valuable quartz
veins, known as Deadwood, Lecompton,
Days, Randolph's, and several other less
known, but probably equally as valuable.
Only two mills have thus far been erected
in the district, but others will doubtless be
built as new leads are opened and further
discoveries made. The first mill erected was
the Oriental, which was put in operation on
the first Of last January. Mr.. A. B. Paul
the Superintendent of this mill, informs us
that he has crushed about thirteen hundred
tons of rock which has yielded an average of
twenty five dollars ton-the different lots
paying all the way from one dollar thirty
cents to seventy. five dollars ton. The mill
was erected for custom work, and since the
first of April has been idle but one day for
the want of rock to crush. Another mill,
erected on the Randolph lead, is to be run
by water power, and cannot be put in oper
alton until next winter. A large quantity of
rock has been taken out ready to be crushed
when water can be obtained to set the mill
in motion. The average cost of quarrying,
hauling, and crushing the rock, is thirteen
dollars ton-the charge for crushing being
six dollars. We are indebted to Mr.. George
Hearst, for the following statement of the
yield of the principal leads in that district:
Deadwood lead-from $l1 to $40 q ton,
averages about $50.
Lecompton lead-from $2s to $45 ton,
averages $40.
Capt Days lead-from IS to $40 ton.
Randolph lead-from Sl2 to 1926 ton.
Small lots of rock have been crushed at
the Oriental mill from fifteen or twenty other
leads in the vicinity, which have paid from
So to $l5 a ton. A majority of these leads,
when fully opened, will doubtless yield suffi-
cient to pay the expenses of working them.

NIGHT MUsIo.-"As silent as night" How
absurd the expression The night is full of
music more sublime than Handels more
thrilling to the thoughtful soul than the notes
of the Lind. Listen! Yonder comes the
east wind down from the airy heights of the
mountains, moaning and signing through the
pines with sorrow and a cadence Divine
Richer and grander than thousand harps
of Eous-its melancholy is more profound
than requiem or Cathedral chant for the
dead. Close under cover of yonder clump
of weeds and bushes, cover the tiny cricket
and katydid Soft and sweet is their song
and it cryeth perpetually of the falling leaf
and the approaching Autumn. They are the
beautiful little choir chanting round the
great tomb of Summer, reminding us that
Nature has her mourners as well as men,
Far off, from yonder hill, echoing and re-
sounding among crags and woodlands, bark
to the constant bay of the faithful watch
dog. Never did organist or vocalist produce
such flood of recollections. 1t carries the
mind back. as we stand here under the spark
ling candelebras of Heaven, to the haunts of
youth and boyhood. The reminescences of a
hundred moonlight nights as we chased the
mock fox over the neighboring wastes-the
dearer memories Of n stolen kiss and null
titude of kindred thoughts flood upon the
heart, until manhood forsakes US and
tears begin to Aow."
Oh there is music in the night sweet,
solemn, faithful music
" The sounds Of Natures vespers blending
With distant echo from the fold and lea,''
music for the heart, and music for the brain
sounds that soothe, and notes that sadden.
Thoughts of the sparkling eye and the rosy
lip that sparkled and breathed deep love for
us long years ago, are again renewed
Thoughts of those who once trod with us the
primrose paths of life, with cheeks now
I" Pale as yOnder waning moon,"
and hearts all motioness. Such is the music
of the Night-San Andreas Independent
Friend Kooser give us your hand. The
above is indeed beautiful.

An AFFECTING Courtroom SCENE-An
affecting scene occurred in the Fourth Dis
trict Court before Judge Hager, this morn
ing in the case Of the application of Mercedes
Lubbersmeler for the custody of her infanf
daughter. The reader will recollect from
items heretofore published, that Mercedes
Lubbersmeier is the mother OF little girl,
five years of age, who was given over to the
care of DR.. J. P. Whitney. The child is an
illegitimatt one, and is named Johanna Scott.
Since the child was placed in the charge of
Dir. Whitney, Mercedes married an individ-
ual named Lubbersmeier, and khe and his
wife, desiring the custody Of the infant, filed
petition Of hab9dS corpus to recover 1t.
The child appears to have been satisfied
that she was doing well under the charge OF
Dr. Whitney and Mrs. Whitney. 1t would,
perhaps, have been fortunate for the girl to
have been raised in the Whitney family; but
the Lubbersmeers thought otherwise, and
insisted upon their rights in the premises
There seems to have been very little ques-
tion about the law of the case, and the Court
appeared compelled to order the delivery OF
the child to its mother, Mrs. Lubbersmeier
The case, after having occupied the Court
all of yesterday in listening to long speeches
was determined this morning, Judge HaSel
deciding the right to be in the mother, and
ordering the child to be delivered over by
the Sheriff to her
AS the Sheriff proceeded to obey the order
the little girl, who was in the court room
struggled to get to DR.. Whitney, and cried
that she wanted TO go to her papa" as she
called him. At the same time Mercedes threw
herself upon her knees before the Judge anC
thanked him, in the midst of her sobs fo
giving back her child. AS the child wa
handed over to her she was almost wild Will
excitement, and clasped it to her bosom witt
exhibitions of the most immoderate Joy; bu
the child continued to cry most piteously tina
she wanted to go to her papa, and did no
cease until she was borne forcibly away.
Hardly an eye remained dry in the court
room, certainly not heart remained un
moved-S f. Bulletin, 18th inst

The VOLCANIC PEAKS OF OREGON AND
WAsHINGToN.-IIaving forgotten what had
read about st. Helens being a volcano | at
first supposed the white funnel of smoke,
with its end resting on the top of the snow,
was singular cloud; and | speculated upon
the manner in which the great peaks in this
vicinity had been formed They surely do
not owe their existence solely to that great
convusion of nature-whatever it may have
been-which formed the Cascade Mountains
for the peaks tower os far above them as they
above the sea- Mounts Baker, Rainier, St
Helens, Jefferson, Adams and Hood, living in
the Cascade range within a line 300 miles
long, stands in lonely greatness. | wondered
whether it were possii lie that the peaks were
entirely of snow, heaped up on large table
lands which happened to be little above
the limit of perpetual frost, so that the snow,
by gradual accumulations, at last reached its
present height. This supposition, however,
would not stand, soon saw that the cloud
over st. Helens was o column Of coItinual-
ly ascending smoke. Besides | could see
bare spots Of black earth or rock on the
southern side of the peak, some of them very
near its summit. The mountain, therefore.
is only covered with comparatively thin
coat of snow, and owes its height beyond
other adjacent portions of the range to the
accumulation ofmater vomtted up from the
centre of the earth through the throat of the
volcano. The time was, in ages past, when
the Cascade chain, from latitude As to 40 >
was the scene of great volcanic action, and
mighty floods of liquid fire flowed down the
mountain sides, as though the legions of Sa-
tan were engaged in casting the artillery for
his warfare.-EditoriaI correspondence of the
