Oh Saturday last, as dozen or more of
our citizens were in the Jail inspecting the
hole through which the prisoners made their
escape, one of the number quietly slipped
out, locked the balance in and carried the
Ikeys down town. There was no help for it;
after cursing. threatening and imploring.
until they got tired, without avail, the whole
posse of whilom prisoners were forced to
get out through the hole in the ceiling, Ia
failon and Ferguson. We are of the opin-
Ion that the most of them were very FORUM
ate indeed to get out in the manner they did.
Were it not for the fact that Justice is blind,
we very much doubt whether all of them
would be at liberty.

The excitement caused by the escape of the

Correspondence of the Chronicle.
MoKELuMNE HILL, Feb. 18th, 1S6

MoKELUMNE HILL, Feb. 18th, 1868.
Mr. EDITOR Hearing SO many remarks
as to the relative value of our quartz veins,
east and west of this town, have concluded
that description of the mines on the diff
ferent ranges would not be uninteresting to
your readers: 1 begin with Lower Rich
Gulch, the Western and Mother lead, $50
called.) On this vein the locations are too
numerous to mention in detail, and I will
therefore confne myself to those that are in
active operation. The Palomo Mine and
Mill, being the first on the ravine as you de-
scend the hill, deserves mention. The mine.
as yet, is undeveloped, but gives promise of
being one of the first claims in point of value
that is located upon the lead. They are
opening this mine with shaft, the work be-
iEg carried on day and night. The miners
informed me that the vein is seven feet thick,
the rock easily quarried. sufficiently so to
enable them to keep an eight stamp mill con-
stantly running. The work on the mine is
first class, in fact all of the surroundings are
of that character. The mill is the most COM
plete, in structure, that your correspondent
has any knowledge of. The power for
driving the machinery is obtained from an
eight foot Hurdy- -Gurdy. As to grade of
ore asked no questions, but judge from
outside appearances that it is satisfactory to
the owners. The next claim on the lead is
that owned by Alexander, Seavers & Co.
This mine is opened by tunnel running
from the ravine cutting the vein at right
angles at a distance of two hundred feet
from the mouth of the tunnel; this gives two
hundred and twenty feet of back in the mine
The claim is opened in the best manner !;
vein heavy, ranging from six to fourteen feet
in width, room enough on the slopes to work
twenty men if necessary. This company
have ten stamp mill which they keep con-
stantly running with a force of seven men,
all told. in mine and mill. The ore is low
grade, but yields large profit to the owners,
as the expense of mining and milling the
rock is very low compared to other claims
in this vicinity. The next and last claim
under development is owned by Norton &
Co. This claim is being opened by tunnel,
surveyed to be three hundred feet in length,
of which about one third is completed. The
surface developments on this mine are ex-
cellent and it will be but short time, when
the usic of the stamps will be heard pound
ing out the precious metal from this claim.
Good luck to them all.
In my next 1 will visit Sport Hill
and the country east, taking the claims
as see them, or any information I may pick
up in regard to them. Hoping all the time
that some one more able will take up the
theme and publish to the world that there
are as good, if not better chances for invest
ment in the quartz claims of this county as
there is in any other in the State. Yours
spasmodically. CASUAL.
