A SPLENDID GoLp MlNE.-The Hayward
gold quarts mine at Sutter Creek, Amador
county, California. is now returning to its
owner, A. Hayward, Esq. upwards Of $40,'
900 net per month. The ledge is large
one, and for several years while being work.
ed near the surface yielded only from eight
to fifteen dollars per ton. It has now been
worked for twelve years. and depth
of over twelve hundred feet has been
reached where the ledge has increased 10 size,
and now pays on an average twenty-five dol,
lars per ton for twenty two feet in width Of
ledge. This has been represented as the
richest gold mine 10 the world, but that is
mistake, as the Allison Ranch and perhaps
other mines Of Nevada county surpass in
yield per ton. aggregate and net products.
These deep mines have proven one thing,
that gold as we'll as other mines increase in
richness and size Of vein matter as great
depth is reached. The Hayward vein stands
nearly perpendicular and is encased 10 gran.
ite. There are two mills employed in
crushing the ore, one of which has forty
stamps Of four hundred and fifty pounds
each. These light stamps are driven at the
rate Of eighty strokes each minute, which
is found to be far more effective mode Of
working than BY using the heavy stamp,
usually Of six to seven hundred pounds and
worked slowly. 'a 10
