richest quartz claims yet discovered in Califor-
MIA, ut least 50 far as prOspccted. IL is twelve
miles from Camptonville, aud about two from
the Mountain House. Sierra county. One
pound of the quartz was pulverized in a mortar
and yielded seven dollars and seventy-iive cents.
The vein runs north and south. and is over
three feet wide. A shaft Of forty feet deep has
just been sunk. and at this depth the rock is
exceedingly rich. The owners Intend thor
oughly prospecting the lead before erecting a
MILL AT the telegraph office. in CamptOnville,

nOunced by those who know TO be as rich as

RUssA.-The st. Petersburg accounts up to
the Z5th inst says London paper, mention
that among other schemes new projected, there
is grand line of telegraph between Russia aud
North America. The plan is to lay the wire
through beria. thence under water from the
northeastern point Of Asia to the coast OF Rus
sian possessions on the Amer can continent aud
finally TO be then joined to the wires Of the Uni.
ted States. Although this gigantic underta-
king. when mentioned. may lead many persons
to look upon the matter with astonislment. aud
to consider the project as belonging to the fab

the bnnder was pounded up aud SIT ounces Of
gold extraottA from it, wh.eh was sold to Marks

THE HARVEST IN NAPA--The wheat crops in
Napa Valley and surrounding country, says the
Napa Herald. are yielding most abundantly.-
We have heard several of our farmers say that
they would get as high as fifty and sixty bush
els to the acre. According TO the present pri-
ces Of wheat. at this enormous yield. the pro-
duct Of each acre of land will bring them from
one hundred and twenty to one hundred aud
forty four dollars. Who would desire more
lucrative gold mine than farm in Napa Val
ley; If there is such man in existence. he
should be scnt to the Lunatic Asylum.
