OVERLAND MArL.-As we stated n few

OVERLAND MAIL.-As we stated n few
days since, Spades & Co., to whom was
awarded the contract for carrying the
Overland mail, failed to come to time,
and that branch of the public service
has to fall back on Wells, Fargo L Co.,
the old contractors. The contract of
Wells, Fargo & Co. expiring on the first
OF the present month, bids for the re-
letting Of the contract were submitted.
Wells, Fargo L Co. bid Sl,400, 900, and
Spades Il Co., Of Chicago, $685., 900.
This latter sum would hardly pay for
stocking the road, therefore those
Spades not being trumps they had TO
throw up their hand. A temporary mr.
rangement by Postmaster Warner has
been effected whereby Wells, Fargo 4
Co. will continue carrying the mails
until permanently arranged with by the
Department at Washington. Whatever
may be done regarding the matter,
heretofore to carry their Overland Let
ter Express to all parts of creation ut
their usual rates.
GOLDEN REsULr.-The bullion from
the clean up at the Sierra Nevada mill,
of which we made mention yesterday,
was melted, ~assayed, and put into brick
form, with the following result The
bar contained 50, llS 81 in gold, and
SlO2 G5 in silyer-tOtal, S2,32l IL. II
is the product Of $50 toas of ore, worked
by the process common in California for
gold quartz that is, 10 amalgamating
pans are used. The lot Of $50 tons was
run through the batteries in seven days,
being at the rate of 20 tons per day.
The whole cost Of working does not en-
coed 50 per ton, whereas the yield per
ton is nearly So, leaving u clear profit
of S240 per day for the mill. The ore
crushed is taken from u sort OF basin
upon the side of the hill. 1t is n de-
posit Of broken quartz and dirt resting
above the regular lead, and there is APP
parently an almost inexhaustible sup
ply of the same in the hill, the deposit
being some GO feet in depth and of an
unknown horizontal extent.
