THE POLISH QUEsTIoN.-A Washington
letter of March 18th says Count Gurowski
suggests and foreshadows the following solu-
tion of the Polish question:
" The pressure of public opinion may obtain
from Alexander III. the restoration of the Con
stitution of 1915 for the Poles Alexander
character rather bends in such equitable di-
rection. But as it would be today absolutely
impossible to give a constitution to Poland
without also giving constitution to Russia,
Alexander may be inspired to give general
constitution to the whole empire-Poand in
cluded-a constitution similar to that which
unites Ireland and Scotland with England or
such as uuites the various Prussian provinces
or the various parts of Italy. Thus the Poles
would lose all reason for complaint"

RIcH QuARTz,-The Sierra Citizen says
" About as rich a specimen of auriferous
quartz as we have seen for many day was
shown us at Sierra City few days ago. 1t
was taken from the ledge of Chips Quartz
Mining Co, whose claims are located about
two miles above Sierra City, upon what is
supposed to be an extension of the Sierra
Bates ledge. Mr.. English, a shareholder
informed Us that the Chips Co. had excavated
a new tunnel, from which an opening had been
made on the ledge one hundred and fifty feet
below their old works. The streak from which
the specimen was obtained is three feet wide
and about eighteen inches thick, and is said
to be the richest gold-bearing quartz ever
discovered in this part of Sierra county. The
specimen alluded to will, al an off-hand venture
yield at the rate of $4,000 per ton, and leave
handsome margin at that.
