LOCAL MATTERS,

SHEATH & CLAY's LEAD.-We went out
to Gold Flat yesterday afternoon to take look
at the quartz ledge of Messrs. Sheath & Clay.
The rock which has been crushed from this
ledge, and which has paid something like hun
,lred and fifty dollars a tun, was taken out near
the surface; but in order to test the ledge more
thoroughly, the proprietors have been engaged
for some weeks past in sinking an incline, and
yesterday they struck the ledge at depth of
about eighty feet. The rock at that depth is
equally as rich and probably richer, than that
taken from near the surface. The ledge having
now been prospected for distance of a hun.
dred and fifty feet along the surface, and to a
depth of eighty feet, the proprietors have deter
mined to put up mill to crush the rock, and
are making arrangements accordingly. The
Droprietors have made small fortune out of
this ledge in the past two or three months, and
they would not now exchange it for the cele-
brated Allison Ranch lead.
