CALIFORNIA SrLvER.-We have been shown a
specimen of the ore extracted from the newly dis
covered silver mines the Eastern slope of the
Sierra Nevada mountains, bordering on Western
Utah. It's of a blueish hue, very sparkling, and
intersected with veins of gold. Apparently it is
very rich in precious metals, seeming to confirm
the statement from our correspondent already pub
lished in regard to its extraordinary value. Ac,
cordng to this authority, the assays have yielded
from 81, 500 to SO 600 and even $4,000 per tom
an assertion which may well be received with in
credulity; but second letter at hand mentions
that "Hnch q Co., bankers of San Francisco have
agreed to advance 100000 fifty tons, to be
shipped by them TO Europe" showing that the
discovery alleged to have been made about three
months ago, is regarded as no humbug. During
the present winter, little ore can be hauled over
the mountains; but next year. according to San
Francisco letters, the amount taken from the mines
will be quite astonishing. If but part of the very
sanguine expectations in regard to this discovery
are realized, the results to trade and emigration
may be very Importantly Y Journal Of Com
