this county. Several rich leads are reported -
having been discovered in different places. but up
to the present time no very big prospects have

three years agc-a great cry and very little gold
A more malignant or unprovoked misrepresenta-

ton frst appeared, have bat to call upon the Hon.

session. prove the utter falsty of the correpon-
dents conclusion. Mr.. Gaskill has quartz speci-
mems from lodges in Butte county, that are unex.
celled in richness by any in the State. Prospects
Of from 500 to $1,000 are obtained from ledges in
Forbestown, Wyandotte, Mineral Slide. Morris Ra-
vine Cherokee, Nesslla Valley. and other portions
of the county. These ledses can be worked As
successfully as any in the State. and it is for the
interests Of the county and State that they should

interested in the prosperity Of the county, could
put a statement In print 50 inconsistent with the
facts The people of Butte county spent much
time and money prospecting for copper. They
we're unfortunate In not finding 1t, but have the
satisfaction OF knowing that they made effort ~
nnd it, and did not sit down with folded hands
like the political hummer, Who tells San FranciscO,
through disreputable press, that the mining in.
terests of the county "will amount to about the
same that the copper excitement did" 1t is not
probable that San Francisco viii be called upon to
furnish capital to prosecute the quartz mining op
erations in contemplation in Butte county the
present season ; arrangements are already compile
ted for the erection Of two mills and with them in
successful operation capital will be found to erect
others, notwithstanding fthe Misrepresentation Oi

LIScoLN RAILRoAp.-Work has commenced on
the railroad between Lincoln and Marysvilie. The
rails are being laid down, and the iron viii soon be
extended to Marysville. When this connection
shall be made we may reasonably hope for an in
crease of business in all Northern California 1t
will place all the counties north of Iaha, twenty
four hours nearer San Francisco and afford better
and cheaper facilities for receiving freight. Then
the advantages that Butte county possesses for
wagon road to the northern territories will be i'm
proved and adopted. And we do not think we in
dulgc in any exaggerated or fond delusionAwhen
we express the belief that the 0roville and Susan
willie route TO Idaho viii! be found to be best
when the Dutch Flat Railroad shall be extended to
Nevada if that is possible. There is still much to
do, however. The railroad must be extended to
Oregon. and it looks though it will have to
be done by private enterprise. So much public
assistance has been granted to impracticabe rail
read routes that the authorities at Washington ap
pear to lie getting chary of their grants to deseiv
ing corporations The road from Sacramento to
Oroville is the result Of private enterprise and the
same energy viii carry it into Oregon and Idaho.

MINING INTERESTS or BUrrR.-Accounts from
various portions OF the county reach us of pros
poets OF an extraordinary yield Of gold during the
operations Of the coming summer. Preparations
are being made to realize this result The activity
manifested in the various kinds Of mining, is much
more healthy than has been exhibited for sew eral
years, many Of them being quartz operations. and
must prove OF permanent character. If good for
anything at all. These prospects are encouraging
to every one, and particularly to those who desire
steady daily labor They begin to feel assured that
our home advantages are to be improved, and that
there no longer exists feeling Of cnmpulsion to
go elsewh here if they would find labor to perform.
But little is said about going to Black Rock or on
any other Gold Lake or Fraser River excitement.
There are better inducements at home, and more
sure returns await them. These who do venture,
should go IS traders, and contins their operations
