OHE AGoSToWS, tOLD DiGGtSGS,
April 80, 1858.
MEssRs. EDITORS Seeing in your last num-
bera communication signed "Felix," giving an
account of the discovery of quartz lode in the
vicinity of Buckeye, perceive that he made no
mention of t::is place, where the lode was first
struck
That there was gold bearing quartz here, has
been known to the miners of these dicoinps
since 81, and the lode traced at that time some
twelve or fifteen miles up the Sacramento river.
The lode was lately discovered to be paying
one by Mr. Johnson,who had grocery in that
vicinity, and us he had considerable idle time on
his hands, he now and then would 90 UP on the
side of the mountain and hammer away at the
quartz, and at last managed to make hole
about large enough to swing cat around in,
and procured rock that, when pounded in a NOR
tar and panued out, would pay from three to fif-
teen cents per pound. One day some of the
boys went with him to his prospect hole. and
dug little deeper in the rock and 10 and be-
hold they knocked out pieces of quartz which
had from five to twenty dollars of gold in them,
and there was not one of the pieces of quartz
which weighed over two or three pounds He
is now putting up a steam mill, and will have
it in full operation in a few days, and in short
time the richness of his claim will be proven.
The Mammoth Company" party of sixteen
persons, have taken up claims north of John
sons, on what is known here as the Rich Gulch
lode, and have procured some very fine pros
poets. Their lode is very extensive. and there
is no doubt but it will pay handsomely The
color can be seen with the naked eve in almost
every piece of rock which is broken off of the
ledge. There are several other companies bus
lily engaged in prospecting, and all in high
spirits.
As the water is now falling fast in the pulth-
es, and the attention of the miners here having
been attracted tc the quartz, there will be some
very heavy prospecting done, and without doubt
discoveries will be made which will astonish the
outsiders, and gorify the mime of Shasta
county.
We cannot boast of half dozen groceries
billiard saloons, ten pin alleys, livery stables
ETC.; but we have one grocery kept by Jane.
