MINING CoMMIssIoNER.-W. A. Skid
more, United States Mining Commissioner
for California, called at this Office on We'd
ncsday last. lie was taking short run
through the county, and made the Greene
mine visit that morning. His opinion OF
our quartz districts and mountain gravel de-
posits are very fattcring. He believes, as
all sound thinking men do, that mining i'll
the foot hill and mountain ranges Of Cali
fomia is in its infancy, and also that the
bulling, bearing and mere speculation in
mining stocks is, if anything, real damage
to our mining interests. The late law of the
Legislature will probably correct. in part,
this evil. On the first page of to-day S
HERALD will be found short article from
his pen, with some figures furnished by
County Surveyor Uren, which furnishes food
for reflection. Mr.. Skdmorc proposes, dur
ing the coming Summer and Fall. to make a
moro extended and careful inspection of the
mines Of this county, preparatory for his
coming report for this year.

The LATE EARTHoUAKE.--The earth
quake, felt here but slightly, which visited
this coast and Nevada on Tuesday morning,
the 2Gth ult., proves to have been severely
destructive Of life and property at some
points. The center of its force seems to
have been srent in the vicinity of Owen
Lake in lnyo county, California, east of the
Sierra Nevada mountains, some $50 miles
south east from here. At Lone Pine, qui
town in that vicinity, every building was
lcvclcd with the earth and twenty persons
instantly killed and thirty wounded. Other
towns in that vicinity were badly damaged
and some persons killed and wounded. AT
these points over 900 distinct shocks were
felt in twenty hours. Forty acres of land
sunk seven feet, the earth opened for twenty
five miles along Owens river, and for four
miles Of this distance the ground on ono side
Of the opening sank eight feet. The shocks
were preceded by reports like thunder and
the lava was seen to run down over the sides
Of the mountain rocks. Rocks were hurled
down the mountain sides and when striking
each other created vivid flashes of fire. The
shocks were felt all over the coast and as far
east as Utah, but outside of twenty or thirty
miles from Owens lake no lives were lost or
serious damage done. Such shocks as visit
ed the above locality would have left San
Francisco a pile of ruins, and 100, 900
mangled human corpses.
