Great actiyity exists throughout the State in
mining exploration, which is attributed to the
recent discovery OF silver mines IN Western

have been found IN Calevaras aud Santa Cruz

silver mines in alt these localities, but whether
many Of them are valuable caunot be settled
without the expenditure Of considerable Labor
aud capital. The discoveries already made ore
operating as incentives to renewed exertions
for more thorough explorations.
