Quartz Mining.

The numerous failures in quartz mining
in this State, says the Nevada Gazette, have
resulted es much from want of knowledge of
the character of mineral veins as from want
of capital Mineral veins throughout tie
world are alike in their general characters
tics: and to attain success in quartz mining
nothing is more requisite than a knowledge
in which the paying ore is found in the
veins, and perhaps there is no suheet con.
nected with the business in which there is
more ignorance among miners. All mineral
veins contain rich places, sometimes called
/" "chimneys,' but more commonly known
among American miners as ore chutes -
the Mexicans call them bonanzas -
These ore chutes usually commence at or
near the surface are Of greater or less width,
and run down to an indefinite depth. not
vertically, but inclining more or less with
the plane of the ledge. Sometimes they are
only few feet in width. but occasionally
they are found extendinga a distance of several
hundred feet along the ledge. The object Of
every quartz miner should be, first. to find
the ore chutes and then to ascertain their
extent and true direction. As there is fre-
ouentiv no perceptible difference between
the rich and poor rock in a vein, it often re-
quires much skill and labor, and many
practical tests, to ascertain the extent and
direction Of an ore chute but not until this
is done can any approximate estimate be
made Of the value Of mine. Many have
the impression that rich ore is more likelyt to
| be found at a considerable depth below the
surface and the fact that it is sometimes
found in deep shafts or inclines when the
rock is barren above, has tendency to con.
firm this impression with those who have not
studied the true character Of mineral veins.
In other cases, where rich ore commences at
the surface, the rock suddenly becomes
barren as the miner goes down, aud for this
reason some are of the impression that the
best rock is found near the surface. But if
the miner was really aware of the fact, that
the ore chutes commencing at the surface,
run down at an angle with the plane Of the
ledge, hewould have no difficulty in account
ing for the striking of rich rock in one case
and losing it in another When the width
and direction of chute is once found, there
is no difficulty in following it down as deep
as the mine can be proftably worked; per-
haps the best and most certain method of
finding the rich ore is by opening the crop
pings at short distances, or by running tun-
nels along the ledge near the surface, accord
ing to the nature of the ground.

The MINING BUREAU-The officers of this
institution are busily engaged in getting it
into working order. It's headquarters, says
the Call are at room No. T. southeast corner
of Pine and Montgomery streets, where a
mineral cabinet will be formed, and where
Will be kept reliable information giving full
particulars Of the working and characteris-
ties Of all mines in the State. whether gold,
silver, iron, copper or coal, or petroleum
wells. As we have before stated, there is no
speculative object connected with this enter
prise. further than to benefit every interest
in the State by collecting and furnishing to
the public, free of cost. all possible informa
ton in relation to our mines, so as to enlist
capital and enterprise in their Development
and thus add to the produce and prosperity
Of the country at large. Members pay five
dollars initiation fee, and ten dollars per
annum dues. Life members pay one hun
drcd dollars each We are pleased to note
that many the " solid men" of the city are
taking an active interest in the Bureau, one
prominent firm alone supplying five life
members 1t is an enterprise calculated to
do much good for the State, ard should be
warmly encouraged by all.
Our miners should at once avail themselves
of the facilities above offered for bringing
this district prominently into notice Any
specimens for the cabinet left at this Office at
any time up to the first day of December, we
will forward gratis. The Washington,
Highland. Honeycomb and Baker companies
of French Gulch, and the Morsheads of
Middletown, Kelly, Conger and Peck &

Mammoth, Mexican and many more com
panies, can and should avail themselves Of

public notoriety at Washington:
Charlie Syphax, colored man, having
a considerable quantity of white blood in his
veins, is man Of intelligence and excellent
character, and is messenger to Secretary
Harlan. 1t also happens that this colored
man is halfbrother to Mrs. General Robert
E. Lee. and grandson of George Washington
Parke Curtis, who was a stepson of George
Washington That is quite pedigree. is it
not? There are seven other men Of the
same parentage, all brothers. two of whom
have been employees of the Interior Depart

Lee has in all some forty half brothers and
sisters of the sane sort in and around this
city.
Governor Brown. the ex.Rebel Governor of
Georgia, is here seeking a pardon at the

ANOTHER DIscovERy.-Lieut Jake Hud-
son and others, employees of the Spring
Greek MILL having an eye to their future
welfare, made an excursion up the west fork
of Spring Greek, and fortunately discovered a
ledge of quartz of great richness. On the
surface it is eight inches wide. They are
now down eight feet, where the ledge Is
twenty inches wide and the rock rich. Thurs
day we saw specimens from the bottom of
the shaft which show rich sulphurets as
we'll as free gold. We were assured that
from one pound of the rock, in which no gold
was visible to the eye. crushed in a hand
mortar, gold dust to the value Of twenty-five
cents was obtained We saw the gold thus
attained The discovery was named the

SATURDAY MORNING, NOV. IL, 1865.

MEXICAN LoDE.-A fine specimen of the
wealth of this lode was brought into town on
Saturday last. 1t was ball of retorted gold,
weighing at least an ounce. obtained from a
piece of quartz about the size of man :
fist. Here is another illustration of the
enterprise of our citizens. 1t being in keep
ing with the general rule, We give it; the
exceptions are generally quoted as gold pro-
ducers in our columns:
Some five years since Mexican known as
Ambrosio discovered the lode in question,
at Old Diggings, about seven miles from this
place. The old man for small sum parted
with four-ffths Of the claim-eight hundred
feet-and since then he has lived near it,
making as good living as be wanted, by
digging at intervals, and crushing in 4 hand
mortar, rock from the lode. He had this
privilege from all, in consideration of his
living near or on the lode to keep off Jump
ers." From the best information within our
reach, we are induced to believe that the
whole work done on the lode in the five years
could be done by two men in day. And
this is quartz mining l-developing the re-
sources of the county, and encouraging the
incoming of capital and labor God save
US! There are many-hundreds we were
going to write-but truth warrants US in
saying there are thousands of just such hard
working companies now holding rich quartz
claims by slghter tenure than the Mexican
is held
