ENCOURAGING. j. B. Siegfried, of Indian
Creek, informs us that about three weeks ago
Mr.. Adam Parker broker from Washoe, was
on visit TO his brother in-law, A. r. Corbus,
and that while on Indian Greek he visited the
Sillcox quartz ledge. As soon as he saw the
lode, he unhesitatingly pronounced it TO be
of the best in the State of California, and took
piece of the rock home with him to have it
assayed. few days ago, II letter from the gen
tleman contained the joyful information that the
rock assayed 81 ,429 to the ton Hurrah for
Trinity county quartz There are numerous
ledges in every section Of the county, and without
doubt many of them are exceedingly rich in gold
and silver Energy aud little capital will de-
velope them, and we predict that the day is not
many years distant when Old Trinity will be as
much noted for the richness of her quartz mines
as she has been for the productiveness of her
placers.
