the last of the fabulous richness of the claims
about Tuttletown TuolumRe county. We learn
! from late number of the Sonora Herald that
the workers in the Cardnen claim, near Tut
tletown, having struck again on vein Of rich
paying quartz have for week past been taking
out very rich ore. The claim is growing richer
every day, aud the amount Of rich gold bearing
quartz daily taken out is increasing to such an
extent that the stories told seem fabulous. A
gentleman who visited the claim on Wednesday
last, informs us that he saw there flour sack
| full of the rock, which was said to weigh four
hundred pounds. The yield on Thursday ex-
ceeded that of any previous day. We are told
that at least fifteen thousand dollars worth of
rock was taken out that day, 1t is supposed
that the yield Of the claim for the entire week
will amount to about fifty thousand dollars.
This is truly astonishing and proves the claim
to be the richest yet discovered in California.
Crowds are going from all parts to see it.
