From the World and Union.
From a gentleman who has just re-
turned from trip through the county,
we learn that the crops are looking SUI
perbly.
The leading anxiety in San Diego to-
day is to know what gentlemen are
willing to serve as trustees for the en-
suing term.
The first load of barley-hay which has
reached San Diego this year from the
Mission was brought in yesterday
from Stones place.
"Ho for the mines ~ is all the cry
in San Diego nowadays. Visitors
are pouring in on the steamers with
Julian, Japa and Bladen on the brain.
Mr.. Hawver informs us that on the
10th instant eight inches of snow fell
at Julian. This was about the time of
the commencement of the last rainfall
here.
The outlook at the Julian mines is
regarded better than ever Every
thing will go forward with a rush"
when the case is finally settled by
Secretary Delano.
The Spring clip of wool is coming in
quite briskly. The merchants inform
us that it is the cleanest and best they
have ever seen in the county.
A party are on the way from San
Francisco to examine the La Trinidad
mine, near San Rafael, Lower Cali
fornia, with view of purchasing.
The crops in the Cajon are looking
finely. There will be splendid har-
vest out there. The farmers are nat
urally happy. Grain is growing very
rapidly.
Mr.. w. F. Foster, of San Dieguito,
was in town yesterday. He says the
crops are looking splendidly out there,
and that the barley is already heading
out.
Dow Schultes, one of the ownersof
the Quachate mine, brought to Mari
copa Wells, this week, about 5000
pounds of very rich ore for shipment
to San Francisco. The Quachate is
the recent discovery made in Morgan
Mountain.
Thomas Gardner brought in about
mine this week, which the owners in
tend to send to the Colorado Smelling
works for reduction. The Trench lode
is increasing in width as they go down
on 1t.
Mr.. Treat got in from the mountains
yesterday, and reports eleven inches
of snow on the Cuyamacas since the
10th instant. He found the Paguay
road rather hazardous, but managed
to dig his wagon out with pick and
shovel.
j.. ]. Muller and Samuel Hughs re-
turned this week from Sierrita mines,
south of Tucson. Mr.. Muller is sci
entific and practical miner, and says
that he was surprised to find such
quantities of rich ore. He predicts a
great future for these mines and with
proper management believes that they
can now be made pay handsomely and
give employment to hundreds of our
miners.
G.. r. Dodson brought some very
rich silver ore to town, ON Monday,
from new discovery made in the Sill
yer Mountain Mining District, about
fifty miles west of Tucson, He says
there is about four feet of nearly pure
metal in the lode, and good judges are
of the opinion that it will pay several
hundred dollars to the ton. 1t is the
intention of the owners to ship several
tons Of the ore to San Francisco, as
soon as they can get it out.
B. P. Campbell got in from Japa yes
terday. He says work is not as brisk
at that cnmp as during the Fall and
early Winter. Ben Glidden, an old
placer miner from the upper part of
this State, had commenced running a
tunnel a day or two before Mr.. G. left,
but had not advanced far enough to
form an opinion as to what the result
would be. Miners are still going to
the camp, Mr.. Campbell having met
about twenty bound for that section.
We noticed last week the rich dis
covery made in Morgan Mountain by
Pat Morgan and others. 1t is said to
be near a monster lode of galena ore
that contains large per cent. of sill
yer, and it is thought by some to be
part of the same vein. The walls of
these lodes are said to be regular and
give evidence of being true fissure veins
of great value. We should not be sur
prised if this ore belt i'm Morgan Noun
tain proved equal to the few great sill
Yer mines in South America and
Mexico.
