foothills of the Blue Ridge, has long been

quartz mine or reef llas not been thoroughly
demonstrated till lately. Tot year past
parties of experience have been engaged IN
developing mine near Kelly's Ford, five
miles from Rappalannock Station. In the
nclghborhood Of a well-known place of de-
post they hare found series Of well defined
gold-Dearing veins, located in mound three
fourths OF mile from the river.
The surface rock Of gold-bearing g,Iartz
bears strict resemblance to the ore taken
out in the richest districts Of California. a
shaft, eighty feet deep, cuts three veins at the
depth of fifteen, forty-6ye, and seventy-fve
feet. yielding rock worth from $50 TO 800
per ton. The deposit seems to be basin of
veins, showing free gold with clrbonates,
and not sulphates. Three tunnels are now
being worked through rich rock, and every
thing gives evidence Of permanency.

LGNpoN, November 12.-AlI the morning
papers Of this city express the deepest sym.

in Bnston. They attribute the great disas-
ter TO the bad management Of the Fire De-
partment, police, and municipal authorities Of
that city. The .St1nddrdSays: "The Boston
FIRE Is q scandalous outrage OH civiz ton,
aud an evidence of a most inefficient city
government" By way Of showing the su-
pcrlority, in cases like that OF the Boston
fire, of Email, well-organizcd fire depart
nents over Iar"e but hldly-ln1nayed ones.
II compares tic small London tire brigade,
and the narrow, crooked streets Of TINT city.
where fires seldom set beyond the building.
wherein they originate, TO the thousands OF
unhi>cipliued Grcmen, huge granite struc-
tire-, aud open places of Boston. There, it
says, the best portion Of the city was de-
stroyed for want Of good management to
prevent the progress of the flames, which
were finally stopped by gunpowder, and
this Wretched business was intrusted to vol
untcer citizens instead Of Skilled operators.
1t is believed here that the amount Of in

In the burnt district Of Boston is $500, 600.
A commission is to bc sent to Boston by The

Legends of the Yellowstone.

Even in the middle Of summer the

successive government exploring parties
were baflled in their attempts to enter
them, and all private expeditions have
been driven off by the Indians. It is
said that the Grows fear, as the wales are
so green, that if the white man once
knows of their beauty, their hunting
grounds will be ruined. These wales
are the resort of numberless herds of
buffalo and wild game, and here, the
trappers tell us, is the "mother region

Father de Smet it was found on the sur
face. Here are burning plains, so testi-
fies Bridger, at the head Of the Yellow
stone, and large lakes, and boiling
springs like the geysers Of ireland.
Here he saw his Two Ocean river, which,
after flowing for some distance, separates
into two large streams-one travelling to
the Atlantic, the other to the Pacific.
In one Of these Wales is large tract of
sage-brush, every leaf and branch per-
feet, and here and there are rabbits,
sage-hens, and even Indians, all turned
to solid stone. Ill fares it with whose

once hotly pursued by Indians, and
could only travel by night, when they
were aided by the brilliant light shot
from huge diamond in a neighboring
mountain, by which they travelled on for
three consecutive nights. Here once an
old trapper was lost on his road from
Fort Laramie to Taos, and wandering
for many days ; and in drinking from a
stream found pieces of yellow metal large
as hazel nuts, which he carried to Taos
and found to be gold. He spent many
years seeking the place again, but III

and traditions of theseregions, tue trap

mountains as household words, which it
would be iInpious to doubt.
