FROM our Campo Seco correspondent,
"Sulphurets,' y we learn the following in re-
gard to mining operations in that vicinity.
That portion of his communication which
relates to the school examination, we obtain
ed from another source, and published last
week:
Mr.. George Wilson has lately discovered a
very handsome quartz lode, on the foot OF
Ragtown Hill which seems to be well-defin-
ed, and shows about two feet thick on top.
1t has a good deal of iron sui phurets. and
shows some fine gold to the naked eye. In
writing to your valuable paper last Spring, l
hazarded the assertion that we had as good
quartz lodes IN the vicinity of Campo Seco
as could be found in this county, and l still
believe so. All we want is small capital
and little energy and perseverance to de-
velop our quartz mines, and we will stand
second to none. Our business men and mi
ners are rather scary about investing money
in mining enterprises, having been so badly
bit in prospecting for copper, but l think
there would be more prizes and fewer blanks
in the quartz business. However. there is
paying quartz here, awaiting development,
and some lucky hombre will strike it one OF
these days. Our fellow townsman, J. C.
Syme, Esq. is still busy at work on his lode,
and is obtaining some beautiful rock, in
which gold is to be seen sprinkled plenti-
fully.

A COMM TIoS.-Our town is continually
thronged with strangers, most of whom are
from Mokelumne Hill, and we have no doubt
out that they will remain with US. and help
build our promising town with magnificent
structures. We noticed two of the gentle
men stepping off piece of ground, last
Thursday, and it looked rather suspicious,
not to say encouraging for San Andreas, to
see them thus occupied Immediately after
| alighting from the stage. or private convey
ance, and before dinner at that. We well
come you, and earnestly hope before another
year rolls round, the population of this town
will not be far from hundred thousand. and
all reaping the desired wealth alike. Come
one, come all. and make San Andreas the
pride town of California. ia.-Register.
What! Doesn't the possession of the coun-
ty seat satisfy your Unsuitable cravings for
'wealth and power: San Andreas has for
years enjoyed the enviable reputation of be-
ing Every fine place." and we supposed
that the addition of the county seat would
render it the most beautiful and attractive
spot on Gods footstool, and enrich, beyond
calculation. all of its favored inhabitants
But 1t appears that their golden dreams have
not been entirely realized, and that the bliss
full hopes of a brilliant future for the new
capital. are on the wane. The enrapturing
pictures of rapid growth, increased popu-
lation, and unexampied prosperity which the
fervid imagination of the impetuous youth
who edits the Register had conjured up, have
proved to be but the chimeras of disorder
ed brain, and in the agony of despair he calls
piteously on the people of Mokelumne Hill
to "come over and help build up the town."
He says San Andreas was thronged, On
Thursday last, with strangers from Mokel-
umne HILL" Perhaps it was; but we did
not notice any diminution of our population.
But then we can spare enough to ''throng"
San Andreas without perceptibly lessening
our inhabitants. AS for any of our citizens
locating in San Andreas, that is out of the
range of possibilities. They are not inclined
to be restless, and if they were one trip to
that delectable town would cure them. The
Register man goes into raptures because
couple of gentlemen from this place, when
they got out of the stage, made use of one of
the many vacant lots in that locality to
"stretch their legs and take a little exer-
else to give them an appetite for dinner. The
imaginative editor thought they were "step-
ping off" lots.
