| QUARTZ MINING.-In the last Placeryille
Mirror we find an article full of groans and
lamentations over the fact that right there
they have a well developed lode of gold bear
ing quartz. worth some twenty dollars per
| tun. and etcapi.al cannot be found to come
forward and erect mill.
Do as we do, Mr.. Mirror. Impress it upon
the company to take out few hundred tuns
of the rock. and pile it up convenient to a
selected site for mill then take a few hun
dred pounds of average rock to the Bay to be
tested Say to them that you have enough
of that kind Of rock out. to pay for mill, and
ask them to send an agent to look at it; if
all things are found as represented, ask them
to put up mill. and keep man with il to
run it and care for it, the company furnishing
all other necessary aid. 1t strikes us very
forcibly that any man having mills for sale
would take such chance as that. At any
rate we have them offered US in quantities to
suit on such terms.

MoKMoN DOMESTIC LIFE.-Polygamy in.
troduces many curious ss-relationships
and intertwines the branches OF the genealog
cal tree in manner greatly to puzzle the
mathematician, as well to disgust the decent
minded. The marrying of two or more sis
iers is very common. One young Mormon
merchant in Salt Lake has three sisters for
his three wives There are several cases of
men marrying both mother widow and her
daughters, taking the old woman for the
sake of getting the young ones. hut having
children by all. Please cypher out for
yourselves how this mixes things. In MANY
eases the Mormon wives not only support
themselves and their children, but help sup.
port their husbands. Thus clerk, or a man
with similar limited income, who has
yielded to the fascinatons and desire of
three or four women, and married them all.

and be no charge to her husband He
comes around once in a while to make her
visit, and then she sets out an extra table
and spends all her accumulated earnings to

of her dear sainted man may be as great as
possible. So that the fellow, if he is lazy

Mining--what is being Done.

The opening season for extensive mining
or erations leads US to look around little and
see how Shasta miners are going to improve
it. We mean mphatically.. Shasta miners
We dom mean those who are bound for Jor-
dan Creek, Montana, or the devil, instead Of
going earnestly to work at home, where there
are better mines. virtuous community, and
the comforts as we'll as luxuries Of life. Upon
inquiry, then. We find that company at
Mddletown are going to erect flume some
half mile in length, to carry water from the
Clear Creek ditch to some mining ground,
discovered and prospected last fall, lying along
the southern side of Oregon Gulch. This
flume will not only furnish the company's
claim, which is rich and extensive. but will
lie Of sufficient capacity to afford water for
hundreds, who can and will occupy ground
below it,
Another company will open hydraulic
claim on the west bank of the Sacramento,
about four miles below town, with flattering
prospects. If the latter claims prove a sue
cess, hundreds will seek claims there with
every facility to work them and the fullest
assurance of success.
These two enterprises begin with prospects
as fattering as any we read of, and the
quantity of ground thus opened for work is
very extensive-suficent for thousand or
fifteen hundred miners.
What should, and might, and could be
done. by little enterprise among our citi
zsns, is the opening of Salt Pork Ridge. 1t
will cost, at the outside, n sum not exceeding
three or four hundred dollars to prospect it
so as to secure its thorough working by pri
vate enterprise. This would be cheap con-
sidsrng the vast returns and benefits to the
town it promises, opening to the miner miles
of deep diggngs that there is every reason
to believe will pay rich. If the ground lay
in Idaho or Montana, it would be improved
and eyes would be saluted with accounts of
diggings found therein that would take off
the balance of our population but as it is,
lying under our noses, we have become SO
accustomed to looking at it, and so assured
that it won't run away, that by common
consent it is left undisturbed as huge nest
egg.
The Horse Shoe Bend will be open for
work as soon as the waters subside to the
of the tunnel. and river bed of
over three miles will be laid bare to the
operations of the hardy miner. Persons de-
string claims on this ground should soon be
making arrangements, for there will be
rush as soon as dry diggings cease to be
available

The RESTORATION OF THE JEws.-We had
supposed that the subject of restoring the
Jews to their original identity as race,
having fixed habitation. had been long
ago forgotten. but it seems that we were
mistaken. A late Jewish writer not only
uses convincing argument to prove that the
desire to return to the land of their fathers
is still warm within them, but adds:
g The regathering of the Jews is now be
ginning to take place. Not only many single
families emigiate to Palestine. but. there
have been formed a number of,socleties in

sum Of s. 81 81. For this run the company
divided 81, 200 to twelve shares-S357 so to
the share The rock crushed averaged $50
per tun. The company now have their lode
stripped one hundred and fifty feet-from top
to lowest tunnel-by four hundred feet on
the face. The ledge at bottom is six feet
thick, and going up it varies from five to
eight feet. There is another tunnel in over
four hundred feet. and about forty feet short
of the ledge, that will strike it some two
hundred feet lower. We are assured that the
company can easily select rock from which a
run Of SIS, 900 or $50 600 could be had in
few days crushing, if it was at all desirable
to get up sensation. We are somewhat
particular in giving these returns, from the
